Huge tribe players who with high ping are not hunters,they are preys.
I saw many complain posts which blame the cause of failure as opponents.Never blame yourself lazy gathering ,idiot construction and foolish tactic.
Your live location give you low ping which is a great advantage in fighting even if they use proxy.High ping is a congenital deficiency to them.
I saw an EU player kill 10+high ping players while I feel a pity why do they not complain discrimination and hacking?Oh,you can't see that because this forums still need proxy to sign in.
I don't agree that who use dirty methods outside game against these high ping play.Game problem should solved in game.

So I researched a hunter's boat design which you can against high level boat.
First,you need a schooner with a large speed sail and a small speed or handling sail.
Second,setup two floors wood platform in stern.
Third,setup MAX NUMBER LARGE CANNON (upgrade will increase cannons number) parallel toward behind.Don't forget hire NPC .
If you used to play EVE,you can use this like VAGABOND.Now you can kill SoTD lvl 80+ & Galleon ez.
Play courteous! Explore world! Enjoy ATLAS!
