Ship to ship buffs

Recommended Posts

Have the devs considered adding ship buffs to increase the viability of using different ships in combat? For instance, maybe a schooners ship buff reveals enemy ships that the captain of the schooner can "call out" to other boats in the fleet and reveal locations. Maybe the galleon gives nearby allied ships a damage reduction buff and the brig gives a damage output buff or something. I'm sure with a little thought it could go more in depth and have an added benefit to running not just one type of ship in game. Just a thought, maybe it's been suggested already, didn't find anything on it so was throwing it out there.

The variation in ships is likely always going to be cost.
The type of buffs you are talking about are likely to be either skills in the captaining tree or the tarot tree when it comes.
There are certain sight bonus' that can be gained from climbing the rigging and using a telescope, the higher the rigging the better the bonus, bigger ship, bigger rigging, better view.

Personally I tend to use things like sloops for high risk smuggling operations through enemy seas which don't attract the SOTD as much. schooners for exploring, brigs for cargo etc.
