What ship is better to have war galleon or war frigate ?

[Dr. Zeppers]

The War Galleon IMO in the long run does better than the War Frigate.

The firepower/broadside differences between these too are not that major. Don't make a difference in the long run.

The amount of cargo can however make a difference when having to keep re-launching.

Also a War Galleon is better for questing, as you can pick up MORE of your quest items before having to port. Pirates go sailing, not short fishing trips (those are for fishermen!)


IMO the only reasons for a War Frigate often gets voted on is to help out those that have problems with sailing and need the extra firepower/strength to survive.
That and to accomodate large crews... I dont see any other real advantages to a salty sailor.


Edit: War Frigate is probably better for SvS simply for the crew/armament/hull factors a little can go a long way in SvS.

The only significant difference between them in SvS is the "hit box" - the area you have to aim at to hit. For a war galleon, since it is much larger than any barn, you simply have to fire a cannon in any direction, to hit it. In SvS, that is a liability. :-)
