Brigantine: Swap Map and Brig

  • Xejn

    The brigantine is pretty sweet. With some unique features of its own it will definitely fit well on the seas for those odd numbered crews.

    However, when using the brigantine I noticed that I was less efficient with navigation than on a sloop or galleon. This is because the Map on the brigantine is at the complete front end when you go downstairs from the helm.

    While the brig does make a nice centerpiece I believe the map and brig should be swapped, to allow easier and quicker access to the map, which is more useful and would be used far more than the brig would.

    Exactly, this was my first thought when I tried the Brigantine last night.
    It's a lot more effort having to run to the very end of the ship to look through the furthest grid for the map.
    I do still love the ship as a whole, and even played a little solo with it.
    I obviously understand its designed for the crew to communicate, but sometimes the crew is busy. A simple swap with the brig would fix it instantly, and make life that little more bearable.

    The developers have purposely designed all three ship types not to be optimal. But with the sloop to be easiest and the galleon hardest to manage.

    The idea is to try to balence the ships against each other and make sure the crews stay busy and are required to collaborate during a voyage.

    On a brig this might be one to steer, one to spot and handle sails and the third to navigate and repair.

    If things were too convenient on a brig it would out-compete sloops and galleons.

    To me, the map doesn't need to be near you, you have 2 partners. I admit that's perhaps one of the disadvantage of this ship.

    But look at the pretty good points the Brig already have :

    • You can actually see where you going when using the wheel. Not on the galleon.
    • Cannonballs and Planks are fastest to pick instead of the galleon AND the sloop
    • The ladder you climb to go on your ship is insanely fast
    • Only 1 stair to repair instead of 2

    This ship looks really good and has been well created. But all of them are different. You can't play a Galleon like you play a Sloop. Same for Brigantine. That's what they want though.

    The ONLY thing that need to be adjusted to me, is the Planks barrel Spot : They should reduce distance between the barrel and the brig. Just a logical thing to get more space
