Ships
Ship roles are the useful decision layer. Named ships add flavor and progression, but role fit is what tells you where to send a vessel.
| Role | Best use |
|---|---|
| Destroyer | Armed to the teeth and plated with thick armour, Destroyers excel at cracking fortified targets like Crown Ports. |
| Hunter | Fast as a tiger shark and able to carry a big crew, Hunters are unmatched at hit-and-run attacks on Merchant Ships and the like. |
| Reaver | Built for combat and carrying a vast raiding party, Reavers are able to plunder well-guarded locations like Treasure Caves. |
| Prowler | Slick as an eel and sporting vast cargo holds, Prowlers are the ship of choice for shady business like Smuggling Runs. |
| Special | Some ships are able to fulfil multiple roles. |
Ship stats
Section titled “Ship stats”| Stat | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Health | The ship is lost once the ship health reaches 0. The ship’s health can be restored by repairing the ship at a pier. |
| Crew | The ship is lost once the ship crew reaches 0. Ship crew can be hired and fired at this ship’s pier. Advanced crew increases the overall ship power. |
| Gun Damage | The destructive power of the ship. Depending on actions during Events, this does damage against opponents’ health or crew. |
| Boarding Damage | The boarding power of the ship. Depending on actions during Events, this does damage against opponents health or crew. |
| Speed | Rapid cruising ability of the ship. It is used in actions in the Events to overcome distance or avoid damage. Higher speed also reduces travel time on the sea. |
| Manoeuvrability | The agility of the ship. It is used in actions during Events to overcome distance or avoid damage. |
| Armour | The protective power of the ship. Depending on actions during Events, armour can protect ship health or ship crew, or help overcome a distance. |
