TheSzerdi 79 Posted January 25, 2019 With the buff to wooden structures is everyone covering their ships with wood walls and roof pieces now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 25, 2019 They did cover their ships with wood even before the upate up to limits, the update didn't change anything in ship building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSzerdi 79 Posted January 25, 2019 Meh, personally I couldn't stand the ugliness, but with this much buff I might suck it up and armor my ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas1987 22 Posted January 25, 2019 I cruisin' with my fully armored brig blastin' high lvl damned dudes barely taking plank damage. They go trough sometimes tho but nothing serious. All in all its not about ugliness or beauty but effectiveness. 40 levels in two days and now my ship xp bar won't move anymore so I guess it's max level. I'll test it more tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll test it more tomorrow Any tips on how to make the armor (wood) go down to the water line? Any videos? I'd like to try out a build like this. Iv'e seen builds with roof or ramps on the top deck, but not down to the water line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas1987 22 Posted January 25, 2019 Hmmm I'm on the phone now. I'll try to explain easiest way. Place a wood wall 1 foundation away from plank. Place 1 wood ceiling on top of wall so it lines up with a plank below. Now you can start placing wooden ramps all the way to the bottom. Rest of the armor is your imagination. But if you place too much you gonna get structure limit and kinda heavy so be warned to compensate for something. I can show you my ship when I come on pc tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the armor is ugly, did not say that used it... + played on pve, who cares about max efficiency there... Also the walls in general look horrible anyway, they connect to those wooden ceilings we place inside the deck which means there is alot of space between them and planks or they clip inside eachother, the worst is back and front, our schooner have a massive gap at the back between wall and back plank, those things look radiculously ugly no matter the armor anyway.

Bowtie 34 Posted January 25, 2019 I am interested in soloing level 60 SODs on PvE, so pictures of an effective armored ship are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaiTash 156 Posted January 25, 2019 Didn't think about the change like that. Yeah looks like the ugly turtleship meta will get worse now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zheo 0 Posted January 25, 2019 Nothing changed about the wood walls on ships in the patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may have caught something in how the update was worded that I didn't notice until now: - Wood Land Structure has been buffed to provide better resistance to siege weapon types by 40%.- Wood Land Structures have been buffed to provide better defence against all non-explosive/siege damage types by 50%. It clearly states Land Structure made of wood, so we have to assume a wood wall on a boat is the same as always. Too bad. I haven't made stone yet, but assume it would be too heavy to armor a boat with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be willing to bet the walls / ceilings / roofs on ships still count as "land" structures. Haven't tested damage though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bowtie 34 Posted January 25, 2019 I have some useless legendary stone and wood ceiling tiles BP, and tried to place stone on a ship; you get the error, "you cannot place stone structures on a ship." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Humcitysav 4 Posted January 25, 2019 My crew made one awhile back, we play on PvE so it’s more for fun than ship to ship combat, although it does work against SOD pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply screenshot it, unless sending photos from phone by making a photo of that phone with photo on screen. As for ship, looks rather cool, however SoDs and players usualy aim/hit planks or nearby ship making those armors kinda useless. Not sure why anyone bothers with inside armor, only armor that matters is side armor on planks. 18 minutes ago, Dragonchampion said: Didn't you guys watch the stream?

You can actually get those roof panels down over the planks of the ship, so they cover your sides. In calm seas your armor will come down to the waterline of the ship.
