joemorin73 6 Posted January 8, 2019 Can we get some explanation on how each type of sail differs? Are they different? or is the difference only cosmetic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will Parrot 18 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) They are different for sure, Weight sails add to the max amount of weight your ship can carry, this is the only stat effect you can measure in game with numbers. Speed sails are faster than other sails but we have no direct measure of speed available so you have to find it out by comparison, measure time you take to go from A to B in a given wind/weight situation etc... Handling sails are better to sail close to the wind (ie, they tend to be more easily in the greenish area when going against the wind to some extent). But here again not direct measure with numbers so you'd have to compare IG with different rigs etc... In another post I suggested an item "knotted rope" or something like that to get a speed measure in knots... Others have been suggesting ways to indicate speed as well.
