S HIP C LASSES
There are five ship classes you may choose from to use in battle. Over the
course of the game, you will be able to upgrade each of these ships along
its own special upgrade path.
SLOOP
Sloops are small ships that have excellent speed
and turning radius. They hold the smallest number
of cannons and crew compared to other ships, but
what they lack in power, they make up for in their
ability to dart around larger ships.
Special Ability: Forward Firing Cannons –
Press the
button to fire the 4 Forward Cannons.
BRIGANTINE
The Brigantine is a slightly larger ship than the
Sloop and holds a little more crew and more
cannons. Its starting speed and turning radius is a
little slower than the Sloop. With greater cannon
range to start, it can maintain speed and keep a
safe distance between larger ships.
Special Ability: Double Shot – Once all the
cannons are loaded, press the
button to
initiate the double packing of cannons. As the
cannon status bar fills, you can fire the cannons
while the guns are double packing.
FLUYT
The Fluyt is a good middle balanced ship, with a
respectable maximum crew size and a good number
of cannons in her hold. The starting range of the
cannons is a little low. However, she makes up for
it in accuracy and a good starting armor value to
protect against damage from other ships.
Special Ability: Water Mines – Press the
button to drop a floating powder keg. If any ship
collides with one of these floating mines, the keg
will explode, causing damage to a ship’s hull.
FRIGATE
The Frigate is a larger ship. What it lacks in speed, it
makes up for in firepower. Over the course of ship
upgrades between rounds, this ship can become very
powerful and dominate the seas. With a larger crew
to handle the cannons, she can cause some serious
damage to those who do not respect her might.
Special Ability: Hard Tack – Press the button
to activate Hard Tack and for a short time this
ship will have better turning ability. The Frigate
will be able to turn faster and sharper than a
Sloop! This ability needs to charge up before it
can be used again.
