What type of ship do you prefer?

[XxJennaxX]

Galleons [did I spell that right?] seem to be the strongest. I don't think I'll ever get a Frigate [way to expensive & I rarely ever sail with other people] and Sloops get damaged too easily & can't hold alot of cargo. So...that pretty much narrows it down to the Galleon. :]

[emmalemmalemma]

sloops are best at avoiding attacks.. and sail solo mostly it works best for me.

[NaviMap]

For me, it's all about carrying more cargo, though the speed is a downer especially when a Spanish or French Undead War Sloop chases you.

[DarkScarlett]

luv the Gal for bank, but have to admit i prefer the steer of frigate with front cannon

[WilliamMcSilver]

war galleons are actually better than war frigates its weird.

[Captain Jessie Hawk]

It all depends on what your doing at the time plundering with a crew Frigate, plunder with maybe one other person or yourself for more gold Galleon, getting from point A to point B as fast as you can with minimum attack Sloop.

I personally though love the Galleon, so much plunder :-)

I sail with a crew most of the time so i like frigates a lot but on those lonely days when nobodys online I sail my galleon

Im a sloop person. If I want plunder I just ride on somone else's big ship. Getting gold for me has never been a issue. I have a light sloop, war sloop and war frigate.

[Emily Waverage]

Hmm, they all have their high points. I like my sloops for traveling fast to far away places and shooting anything down on the way there. Galleons are good when I'm flying solo and just want to go looking for a fight. But I definitely like Frigates the most - the front cannons make me happy.

[Retroist]

I have only ever sailed a Sloop as I'm pretty much a loner, but I love the look of the Frigates.

[Jeena]

Ehh, I love the frigate, purely because of the front cannons, however, that only works if you have a crew.
Without a crew I prefer the galleon.

Galleon - more cargo, a little more speed than frigates, and I'm comfortable with 'em
I do like the front-cannons on the frigates, though.

[akamystic]

Although I prefer the War Frigate overall, I still like the War Galleon and War Sloop. It all depends on what you plan to do.

-The War Frigate can take more of a beating for close combat and the front cannons are very nice to have
-The War Galleon has more storage and broadsides but in my opinion not recommended for close battles as the hull gives out faster
-The War Sloop will zip you around faster and still has decent firepower and hull

I waited until I had the 60,000 and purchased the War Frigate first as I figured it would be the biggest bang for the buck. Then I purchased the War Sloop and last but by far not least the War Galleon. I use all three of them on a regular basis. My guild likes the cannon arrangement of the Frigate but loves the large hauls with the Galleon.

What type of ship do I prefer? Overall? Galleon. For plunder? Galleon. For realism? Galleon. For ease of driving? Galleon. For apparent speed (much more important than actual measured speed)? Galleon. For maneuverability in normal combat? Galleon. For Svs? Sloop. (*) For anything other than SvS? Galleon. For it being pleasant to drive? Galleon. Easy to get to the steering wheel? Galleon. For the cargo space? Galleon. For actually looking like a pirate-era sailing ship? Galleon. For having cool looking sails? Galleon. For looking huge and monstrous and just plain awesome? Galleon.

(*) Note: Sailing a galleon in SvS is the PiratesOnline equivalent of wearing a "Kick Me" sign on the seat of your pants.
