Though I may have a War Sloop, I say a War Galleon.
It comes with a awesome glitch, holds tons of cargo, and has the best broadsides.

Oh, what is the glitch? =P
Care to share the secret? Teehee.

The only War Galleon related glitch I know of (could definately be others), is that its pretty easy to get off the ship. I've read that other ships have similar glitchs as well, but the War Galleons is the most widely known.

Copied this from our guild site, easier than typing:

1. Swimming/flying - Go Swimming off boat, visit other ships, etc.
HOW: On main deck of a WAR GALLEON, walk between front left cannon and ship structure, work character back and forth moving forward (toward ocean). Character will eventually either drop into the ocean, or start flying off the side of the boat.

Note: This trick is often used to board skeleton ships, take control of thier cannons, etc. You are tied to your vessel, so it can be tricky.

i like galleons and frigates. galleons above all else. more broadsides! i sail alone alot and when i do have a crew its a max of five people, so six altogether.

I like the war sloop for quests, it can manuver you faster from island to island. But, i also like my war galleon because of the cargo hold and hp. :P

war sloops, as ships are already slow as molasses, and the passive speed boosts helped get me here and there, as well as cannon/sail solo far easier as i leveled alone.

as for the walk off the ship bugs, they were just as easy for the war frig and war sloop too,

just do the sideways running against the cannons till u slide out, from the front cannon on the wf, same with the war sloops forward most guns.

unless they were fixed, as i dont play no more.

I love frigates because i nearly always sail with a bunch of my guild
