@qu1etone yeah. I can understand that would totally upset the crew balance. I do appreciate the feedback.

Honestly, I'd just be happy with updated designs for the current formula of ships. Seeing the fancy ships in the Pirates of the Caribbean or Monkey Island tall tales and comparing them to the old looks and designs of the player ships leaves me feeling like maybe it's time for a refresh. The team has certainly come a long way in their art and design sensibilities since launch.

@schwammlgott did you? The turn speed on the galleon is slower, but the distance is longer.

You know what...I don’t really care...it won't happen anyway

@thamb0 sagte in New ship type proposal: Frigate.:

@schwammlgott I'm a solo slooper and the more people to fight the better!

You would regret this...

@captain-fob4141

Exactly, that's why I think it's OP, but I still would like to see it due to the thoughts of shenanigans and tomfoolery that can occur

@thamb0 If you play on a 5 player gally only server over the 4 player normal server, you've already split the player base. You are taking a galleon and a solo sloop out of the normal game. Personally I don't have a problem with that. I'm on a sloop most of the time.

@devtryak a three man sloop is unsinkable unfortunately. They would have to tweak other stats before that could happen.

@qu1etone I don't know how it would split the player base? They are all technically in Adventure mode. It would just allow people that play with 5-6 people to actually have the chance to sail together without being out balanced to the rest of the ships. Like if I had a bunch of friends pop on one day and then the next day I'm back solo slooping. Plus, they already split the player base by adding safer seas.

@captain-fob4141

Yeah but honestly I like when the amount of cannons matches the max amount of players a ship can hold cuz then people can't hog the cannons and keep others off. I feel like galleon might benefit from 1 more player because of things like it's slow turning, amount of ship that needs repairs, and stuff like that, but honestly they could just make the galleon turn better, make the wheel turn like the brig, and stuff like that to make it easier

@captain-fob4141

Yeah we're on the same brain cell with this, though something else I would like it possibly bumping up the maximum amount of people on each ship by 1, but that might be too over powered.

@player-of-game2

I kinda like this idea. We could make this ship cost like 425,000 gold for a captained one.

@thamb0 I'm absolutely fine with that. But I don't think Rare will do it. Splits the player base. They hate that.

@schwammlgott I'm a solo slooper and the more people to fight the better!

@qu1etone agreed, but I think we misunderstood each other. I was talking with the idea in mind of a Galleon only server having crews of 5-6. Apologies for not adding that in my comment. In the regular servers, yes 4 is balanced. So, how would you feel about Rare testing a Galleon or larger ship only server with crews of 5-6 per ship?

@schwammlgott did you? The turn speed on the galleon is slower, but the distance is longer.

@lem0n-curry that's fine. I'd rather consistency.

@schwammlgott what else could you do but add another player to all ships. I sail solo a lot. Brigs scare me now. Imagine with 4 people on there.

@captain-fob4141 said in New ship type proposal: Frigate.:

Years ago there was an idea floating around of a ship with three cannons in between a galleon and a brig.
When you think about it:
Sloop: 1 cannon 2 people max
Brig: 2 cannon 3 people max
Galleon: 4 cannons 4 people max

Why break the pattern? We should make the galleon a 5 person ship and add in a new 4 person ship with 3 cannons.

Be careful ... they might choose to remove a cannon on each side of a Galleon instead ...

@qu1etone sagte in New ship type proposal: Frigate.:

@schwammlgott 🤣😥 I don't like...

I actually meant just the first sentence you wrote...so adding 1 person to each ship

@schwammlgott 🤣😥 I don't like...

@qu1etone sagte in New ship type proposal: Frigate.:

@thamb0 if you add an extra person to each ship type then fine. You can't just add 1 to a galleon. That extra person is free to do whatever is needed while the other 4 stick to their posts. The point of 4 people on a galleon as I see it is to stretch the crew in combat.

Solo sloopers will love this...not

@captain-fob4141 sagte in New ship type proposal: Frigate.:

@schwammlgott if it makes sense on a galleon it makes even more sense for a sloop to have two cannons per side, and a brig to have three.

Did you actually read what I wrote?
