If anything it has been pretty much determined the most 'popular' ship is the War Frigate.

Personally I prefer the War Galleon as any 'perks' the War Frigate has over War Galleon I personally do not need for successful plundering. I find the larger hold allows me to stay out longer and get more plunder for my troubles. I generally have no problems filling the ship up and staying in the 'green' hull wise (usually 2-10 gold damage a trip). Additional hull strength, or broadside strength of War Frigate, I do not require.

As for gaining for reps, there is a Sailing reputation guide: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ead.php?t=7141

It may help in deciding what targets are best, as it also depends on your own notoriety and sailing levels im pretty sure.

In the long run the higher the numbers, the better the reps (up to 100).
If your getting 100+ reps on a ship, its a high enough level

As for plunder, I find all the higher level 25+ War Galleons, War Frigates, and War Sloops all do somewhat the same, varying in amounts, and type. Alot of which I think is random, with a touch of "treasure sense" thrown into the equation. (Until reassignment of skill points comes about, i still think Treasure sense a waste of skill points, unless you anticipate using it to reassign your sailing as soon as it becomes available. As you progress, gold gets easier and easier to obtain.

Couldn't agree more!

war frigate is nice and all but....
1.broadsides command(usually/
2.more cargo=more$
3.more armor so that your ship doesnt catch fire(this has caused me to sink before)
4.you can do man over board glitch
5.war frigates lose their crew bonus....
6.more sail life
war galleons are great but...
1.war frigates are faster
2.war frigates got more cannons
3.war frigates got more life
4.war frigates can carry more people
5.ramming speed is inhanced by drill

so it depends on who you are....
but i like war galleon best

I would recommend you look at page one of this guide - it isnt about the ships as much as how you use the brain to get the most REP possible from each ship (depending on your level)

Sorry that I'm late on this. But I gotta say that:
THIS GUIDE IS SICK!

This deserves more then a sticky, it deserves to be on the POTCO website! Great job Ironhawk!

[MacIronhawk]

This is perhaps the best guide I have ever read.
This guide has helped me level up my sailing and cannon level.

Obviously Edward read this before me because he helped me get my cannon level to 20 to 21 in under thirty minutes.(or within an hour.)

I will continue to use this guide until I master my cannon.

Master Sail is the prize you get for completing the Pearl Quest - it is not a 'weapon earned' skill but a 'quest completed' skill

Once you see jack after saving th Pearl - you are awarded Master Sail. It also holds no 'earned points' - so you do not need to save points for it to make it better.

Would most likely be easier to do it on land, with accuracy and all that. However on ship, you dont need to worry about getting attacked back

Thanks maximus for the reply.
