I guess if you sail with a crew, you will need a War Frigate (front guns ftw!) and if you sail alone a War Galleon will suffice?
I agree.


I prefer my War Galleon than my War Frigate.

On my War Frigate, I average around 600+ per trip.

On my War Galleon, I average around 1000+ per trip.


Which one would you choose? ( Easy question! )

You got it.

When I sail alone, I always take my war galleon. Has tons of broadsides, and I can take down level 30 ships in a couple of hits.

If I have a crew, it's gotta be the war frigate. They're all at the front cannons, and shoot the ship while I back up. I keep a safe distance and no damage to me

Went thru them one by one.

And sold most of them to try the next one up.

In the end, I have two ships.

War Galleon - by far the best ship. Most broadsides, quicker and more agile than the Frigate and more cargo hold. Lacks a small amount of Hull/Strength but that is easily compensated for.
and
War Sloop - hated the first two sloops, but have to admit this thing is fun. Quick and extremely nimble. Hard to hit, quick to score and sink, easy to maneouver on deck. And the "War" version has that extra Hull strength that makes it work!

War Frigate was a big, expensive, lumbering waste of time and money. (sorry)

I recommend a player choose:
a. Sloop to start
b. Galleon as soon as possible
c. Light Galleon asap
d. War Galleon asasap (and add a War Sloop for extra fun!)
I'll remember this.

I was going to get a War Frigate, but I decided to stick with my Frigate. I am saving up for the upgrades.

The nice thing about the war frigate is the hull strength. You can take a more hits before you sink, especially if you're going for ships that carry royal chests.

It is painfully slow, though, so I still have a light sloop and a war sloop, for when I'm just sailing to get somewhere.

Congratulations! I only have enough money for a regular frigate.
Guess I better pillage, plunder, loot, and steal some more!


(Maybe you could PM me and we could go plunderin' in your ship?)

The unofficial Ship Guide

I Find that War Galleons are easy to defeat and I only use a light sloop!
You might not believe it but the all have differences:

War Frigate : Medium type ship as it is has a "closer to the water hull". This
means that it is able to escape easier. Speed is medium as it would most likely outpace a War Galleon and lose to a War Sloop

War Sloop : This is both small and closer to the water. It can stay far away and is less likely to be hit in the hull. It is a speedy ship and will escape from both opposite types of ships.

War Galleon : This has the most cannon power and good for attacking with both broadsides and cannons however its hull is more likely to be damaged as it is slow and it has high hull.

So buy a...
War Frigate if your more likely to have a crew and go around defeating multiple ships for a good time:

War Galleon if your more likely to be attacking other War Frigates and galleon however with the hull being high be aware:

War Sloop if you need a speedy escape and want to fire cannons from fire away.

PS All games have there triplcate, eg
Speedy-------------------Good at both---------------------Power
Sloop-------------------------Figate-------------------------Galleon

Ive had enough money for a War Frigate for a long time.. but my War Galleon, although slow.. holds more cargo and kicks butt most of the time. When I get enough gold I'll buy it as a "second ship" and have both. I had the War Sloop for a while when I was saving for the War Galleon.. and I did like its speed!

After owning a War Frigate and War Sloop, my War Sloop is still my favorite ship! I love it for some reason.

War Sloops are super Weak and niether slopps or galleons have front cannons which is a huge disadvantage
