Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 17, 2019 Which is better, cheaper crew or slower sinking ship? PvE, schooner, ship mainly for fighting whales and SoDs and long range exploration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSzerdi 79 Posted January 17, 2019 Personally I usually do accommodation for one or two extra beds first (need fast respawn on PvP), then raise crew limit until I have enough slots for all AI plus my friends, then everything into weight. I would use that schooner to get a full AI crew then scrap it for a brigantine. Brig is better in every way, especially weight per level up. It's easily sailable solo with AI. Also, carry at least one full side worth of planks and gunports to replace after combat. They weigh less than materials and it is the only thing that can save your ship if you lose a few.

Dread Pirate Ash 5 Posted January 17, 2019 I'm with Theszerdi here. Basically exactly the same - enough to get an extra bed or two, bump crew up to cover sails/cannons/friends, then pump weight and generally ignore sturdiness. If my ship starts REALLY getting up there in levels (my current galleon is like 50+ now), I start putting a little into sturdiness just to avoid the extra food spoilage, but really its not important imo. But I play on unofficial, so other players trying to kill me is pretty much a non-issue. YMMV there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 17, 2019 To get brig need to build it so more resources (EH, hate gathering fiber) and need many more points put into sailing + already got schooner outfitted, built, yeah, scrapping it would be painfull, would just prefer them to make sense out of it (buff it). 1 minute ago, Dread Pirate Ash said: I'm with Theszerdi here.
