Number of cannons on galleon: 4 and max number of players 4
Number of cannons on brig: 2 and max number of players 3
Number of cannons on sloop: 1 and max number of players 2
Why is the galleon the only ship where the number of cannons matches the number of players on the ship? Sloop should have 2 cannons and brig 3 cannons. It would raise the skill ceiling by making multi-tasking more prevalent and beneficial.
@jmiller1314 Eh, your numbers are off.
Cannons/players
Galleon: 8/4
Brig 4/3
Sloop 2/2
The numbers are balanced.
@jmiller1314 What do you mean "is this a troll." There are four players max to a gally and three players max to a brig.
@jmiller1314 said in number of cannons is disproportionate:
@SuperSnipper60 nvm, what I meant was increase the amount of cannons on each side of the ship
Hey there @jmiller1314,
the difference in numbers of cannons on the Galleon (in relation to it's crew size) compared to the numbers of cannons on the Brigantine and Sloop most likely stems from changes that were made during the development cycle of the game.
If you take a look at the Sea of Thieves E3 Announce Trailer from 2015 you'll notice that the size of the Galleon crew was at one point 5 players instead of 4.
That number was most likely reduced for balancing reasons and from the data the team gathered regarding crew dynamics and such.
What didn't change was the existing aesthetics of the Galleon.
That's why the Galleon still has 8 cannons with only 4 crew members while the later developed Sloop and Brigantine had their numbers already adjusted to their respective crew sizes.
Stuff changes during development, that's all there is to it.
Great feedback, @thor-von-blitz!
@jmiller1314 Another way to look at it is that each ship has its own strengths - the sloop has manueverability, and the brig has speed, for example. The advantage the galleon has, though, is firepower - so with that in mind, it makes absolute sense that they'd have the extra cannon per side.
You got reality foreign people here thinking the Brig and sloop, especially the sloop will become an extreme monster with just one more cannon on each side.

They are all naive and don't know what they are talking about.
I saw a few days ago how a Galleon was safed from 3 ballast balls while it had many holes on the upper deck but the crew reacted coordinated and I could not believe how the Galleon was safed even from that.
Even though this is what people say is the sloops sole strenght.
" Coming back from near annihilation. "
Those people truly want to say
" I cannot coordinate with more than just one person and because I personally feel stronger on a sloop as on a Galleon, because of this the sloop is strong enough. "
Do not listen to them. They have no clue what they are talking about.
@theswiftness999 sagte in number of cannons is disproportionate:
I don't think that the amount of cannons should be raised on sloop or brig, but rather the galleon should lose one cannon per side. It doesn't seem right that only one out of three ship types has the ability to have its full crew on one set of cannons.
Oh wow... an anti-fun suggestion. (-_-)
Did not expected to ever such a thing here.
Pretty disappointing. Galleons are boring enough as it is for me.
Do not take a cannon from them it would make this fat, sluggish whale even more boring.
@odyssee-mit-tee So because people do not agree with your idea, they do not know what they are talking about? Great logic there champ
Sloop is easy to manouver, it is already the strongest ship in the game imo (also my favourite), if it had 1 more cannon per side it would just be OP. As I said it easy to manouver and you just need 1 player doing it, that player could always go to the cannon and have double the firepower without losing too much since he can quickly go back and adjust the wheel or the sails when he wants.
On the other hand Galleon has 4 cannons but it requires all the player to manouver the ship efficiently, this means that even if it has 4 cannons per side it will mostly be 2-3 people on cannons while 1 is steering and 1 may be repairing if the situation is bad, having 4 cannons per side becomes usefull only once your Galleon is in a good position.
@aglasgowthing sagte in number of cannons is disproportionate:
Full things flawed when you don’t know how many cannons are actually on the galleon tho...you think there is 4 cannons on a galleon? 😄
How long will you play the dunce? 😄
And not mention you know he just meant one side? 😄
