I just have 2 barques and a lugger. I just started playing hardcore today because of fourth of july, so i should be getting better ones soon.

Let me ask you a question knight:


Did you buy those ships, or steal them?

Keep going in and out of any tavern until there is a viable officer candidate waiting to be hired. Tell them you don't think they are worth what they are asking, they will lower their price, then say they are still not worth their fee. Keep doing this, and eventually it will turn into a negative sum. The amount of money you hire them for (which will be shown as a negative amount, -5000 for example) will INCREASE your gold instead.

NOTE: I discovered this with a commerce skill of 7, and each time I performed the trick, the amount went down by 700. With a lower skill rating, they sometimes refuse to lower their price.

It's works with a commerce skill of 5.

Although the manual for this game is woefully inadequate, this is one of those questions where RTFM is appropriate.

Seriously tho, it is the class of the ship. The lower the number, the better the ship. FYI, you get more exp for defeating a ship with a higher number than yours.

I now have 2 corvettes. The best way i've found to make money, without using some type of glitch is constantly do jobs for store owners. Sometimes they will offer you an outrageous amount of money to do a job. And i think the more cargo you can haul the more they will pay you.

It's all about smuggling. I got a Brig and a Schonner. Both stolen

[Xorg]

How do you smuggle and what do you smuggle?

You have to talk to a smuggler in a tavern. There is always a smuggler there. And then the smuggler will tell you where to go, and so on. I think you have to have a low reputation to do smuggling jobs though. Not sure


I now have one battleship and one corvette. Both purchased. That battleship is elite I took over isla muelle with it (took over the fort)

But you know what sucks? The whole town deserted, and i didnt get that much of a reward from taking the island over (25k and all ships repaired) What's the point in taking one over, when the reward is that crappy and an entire country hates you?

I still have my mighty original Lugger or whatever its called...but im saving up for a corvette, got about 3/4th of the 120k needed.

I only have 2 questions...I got about 6 or 7 passenger dudes from taverns and some are pretty good with melee (ranked 6 in that category). So whenever I try to board some other dudes ship, my people get royally slaughtered. Anybody know a good strategy for killing people on their boats, or strengthening my people or something?

Second question...whats a good way to get experience points? I did some quest for someone who had me go see whats going on at Oxbay since it was captured, and I did that. Now the idiot wants me to go capture or sink or just plain stop a french ship from delivering the munitions from some weird named island or something like that, but...in relation to question 1...I probably wont be able to do so without dying in a quick and painful and embarassing manner...so what other ways are there to gain experience?

for the first one, you should put your officers in the passanger seat so they dont fight before boarding, if crew members die they arent very imortant.

and second, to stop the ship you dont need to get in a sea battle, you just need to get some info on people and kill two people.

What do you mean exactly?

[coxson]

I have a Galleon and a Pinnace. Both stolen. The Galleon from the French and the Pinnace from the Pirates. Galleons are nice, but expensive and very slow to move.

If anyone wants a map of the islands a friend of mine did one. It can be found at:

Well i thought it would work going to the passangers menu and removing my officers so they wouldnt fight but when i got boarded they still fought sometimes, maybe it only works when i board an enemy ship.

Oh, I still dont know what you are talking about, but I did manage to buy a Corvette and get some boatswains or whatever those people are called...I boarded a few ships and killed the dudes that attacked me, but didnt get the ship. the transfer goods and stuff menu came up after I captured the ship, but in my ship menu, it only shows my corvette...am I supposed to do anything special to keep the ship for myself or what?


PS: Anybody else run into the problem of getting in battles with about 6 or 7 or more ships instead of only one or 2? I had this huge awesome fight when I tried to help out a ship that was under attack from pirates, and eventually got sunk after about 3 or 4 boardings...dont know if i was getting boarded or if I was boarding them, but either way, shouldnt the winner of the boarding get the opponents ship regardless of who started the boarding process?

To keep the other ship, you have to assign a captain to it, one of your officers, and i once got boarded and i won and i did get to keep their ship even though they boarded me.

Thats what I was thinking, but wasnt sure...because I assigned a first mate of mine to be the captian of the first ship that I captured, but it was in the middle of a multi-ship battle and the second ship was almost sunk, so I just sold it...dont remember if I lost that character with the boat or not, but i'll remember that next time, thankx man.

I think boarding ships is alot more fun than fighting with cannons...mostly because I suck with the cannons, but Im a good melee fighter even thoug my melee skill is only like 3, but thats not bad considering im only level 4 I think...

But now that im thinking of it...is there any way to change your ship? I think I saw a swap ships button or something mentioned somewhere before I sold the one i captured, but Im not completely sure...cause I just got the idea of capturing ships and taking them into storms on purpose just for experience points, and then selling the ship instead of worring about repairing it...but is there any way to order the other ship to stay out of the storm? I dont want my corvette to get damaged, so can I possibly just leave it at the port or something?
