Iaxa DeVaux 28 Posted February 20, 2019 Does anybody know for "fact" what is the fastest ship and what sail configuration to make it so? Are their any charts or videos from testing? Speed/configuration rankings? Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bowtie 34 Posted February 21, 2019 Galleon with all levels in weight, using all mythical 200% speed sails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted February 21, 2019 13 minutes ago, Bowtie said: I believe the galleon is the fastest with 6large speed sails and no guns, or additional structure. The Brigantine is the fastest when loaded with guns in gunports and 10 shots per gun and crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHeid 79 Posted February 21, 2019 I think the schooner is with large speed and small speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smash 25 Posted February 21, 2019 The schooner and galleon with max speed sail configurations have the same base speed. The galleon wins out because of how weight affects speed. Its much easier to have a galleon under 1/2 weight than a schooner. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tillman 19 Posted February 21, 2019 If you go just off base ships. The schooner and gally are the same speed followed by the brig the sloop. Gally is the fastest ship at level 41 with all weight put into it. Can’t catch it unless you have 130 sales on a schooner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just start testing with ~ showdebug physics (reset for cancel), where u get a speed value form the game. It is fine for landbased observation. On sea u have more parameter to deal with, like diff Wind strenght and direction, does waves impact shipspeed? It is just hard doing it solo, because it seems u are unable to steer with this enabled (u can run/mout etc. tho), not good when running into 6 SotD Maybe others can help with this?

SeroJ 20 Posted March 10, 2020 just to clarify here but the quality of sail absolutely does not affect TOP SPEED. Waves might affect top speed but they coincide with high winds so.. yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
