'The following ship types are available in "World of Pirates", altogether there are 9 ship classes. They all have different navigation requirements, sail characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.'
Sloop
- The Sloop is the fastest ship in the game. Great for nav at the beginning. It doesn't hold much crew, cargo or cannons. Speed is its only strength.
Build Calculation: 1 wop Day = 120 Mins
Full Up Sloop = 6 Wop Hours Time: 6 x 5mins = 30 Mins Real Time Build
Pinnace
- The Pinnace is an upgrade in crew, cargo and cannons from the Sloop. Probably not enough to outweigh the loss in speed. Sail the Sloop until you have enough nav for a Barque
Barque
- The Barque is very fast and maneuverable; it can hold more cannons/crew. Nice ship if you want to be able to get away from enemies.
Fluyt
- The Fluyt holds a ton of ammo. The cannons, crew and cargo are good as well. Makes a good PVP ship because it can hold a lot of wood/cloth and its maneuverability
Merchant
- The Merchant is slow and weak but has a lot of cargo space. Great for trading or maybe holding some wood/cloth
Frigate
- The Frigate has nice speed and firepower (1 cannon per upgrade). Great PVP ship. Drawbacks are low crew and cargo
Fast Galleon
- The Fast Galleon is also good for PVP. Very good firepower fully upgraded (2 cannons per upgrade). A bit slower than the Frigate, except in a headwind. Turns a little slower as well
Spanish Galleon
- The Spanish Galleon is the Merchants big brother. Big, slow target with a lot of cargo room. Don't get caught out at sea in these
War Galleon
- The War Galleon is the most powerful ship in the game. With fullup cannons nothing else comes close. It can carry a lot of crew, cargo and ammo. Its drawbacks are that its slow, not very maneuverable and expensive to replace
