War Galleon or War Frigate?

[Jack Garrett]

the war frigate is awesome against A.I. ships if you have a smart crew. put 2-4 crew on the front cannons, hit a ship to get it moving toward you, position the frigate to face the incoming ship, and put it in reverse. you can help your crew with 'open fire' and/or 'leadership' as well. if done correctly, you will rarely take damage.

[Arioch]

The war galleon is great for 2 things.
1) raising lots of loot
2) raising your sailing rep very fast

Why?

Simply because if you make padre runs on Abassa you can always get a full boat of low level pirates that are over joyed to be on a high level plunder run ship.

Just make sure when you are inclined to go privateering that you select any other ship then your prized war galleon as it is a SLOW, Very hard to steer COFFIN.

It is so big and the weak spot also so LARGE that it cannot be missed even at extremely long ranges by rookie pirates.

Now if you got a single gunner firing fury a war galleon has but seconds to live after the take cover skill is no longer in affect.

Great ship for hauling cargo but not good for using in ship versus ship as EVERYONE always sinks the war frigates first in combat. impossible to miss
