Best Skill Point Spread For Privateering?

[Maggie13]

First , I have to say when you figure out how to make the armor on the ships stronger please let me know. With that being said, here is what I have set.

As far as sailing skill points you do not need to put anything on broadsides. You can of course, but you'll spend gold later to change em.

Windcatcher = 5
Full Sail = 5
Take Cover = 5
Ramming Speed = 5
these are the essentials, rest up to you where you put them

For cannon points
Fury = 5
Firebrand = 5
Shoot = 5
Rapid reload = 5
Round shot = 5
Thunder = 1
demolition = 5

The reason for round shot at 5 is just in case I intend to sail. Then it acts as the broadsides would (hence not putting points in Broads)

If I am not going to use the pirate for sailing I take the points out of round and put em in thunder.

*Firebrand is the only ammo that gets thru Take Cover EXCEPT if the opponent is using Grape shot. Then nothing gets thru. Dont get so close as to be graped.
