Iā€™m going to use a caravel probably because it seems like it possibly could be the best in terms of getting around effectively

Ketch is bigger and faster so idk why you wouldnā€™t use it

how do you know its faster

Thatā€™s just my guess that the common boats that vetex is adding now are linear upgrades so it would mean the ketch is faster as well with overall better stats

I mean like going rowboat->sailboat->caravel->ketch->frigate
Like frigate will be objectively better than ketch and ketch objectively better than caravel etc.

I assume larger boats will be slower. Players that arenā€™t interested in ship combat and donā€™t need to haul a lot of cargo probably would prefer a smaller, faster boat.

still seems weird imo, since every boat has a distinct use (irl i mean), itā€™s not like thereā€™s a boat thatā€™s just the best at everything

Tbf, we donā€™t use stuff like ketches anymore the terminology hasnā€™t even survived in modern day navyā€™s but stuff like frigates still exist in modern naval terminology

I think it would be reasonable to say that the frigate will be the fastest and biggest ship on release just because we havenā€™t seen much alteration and currently the caravel is the biggest and fastest so weā€™ll see if ketch is bigger and faster as well

Mihawk didnā€™t have a row boat his ship was wind powered

Wasnā€™t the sailboat the fastest in AA?

This isnā€™t about realism itā€™s about game balance

I mean, in AR, itā€™s somewhat of a tie between the sailboat and the rowboat, essentially lag determines the faster of the two

And, weā€™re all forgetting that turning speed is another stat that bigger ships will almost certainly lose in

In the to-do list, it outright states that the Ketch is bigger, faster, and has more equip slots than the Caravel.
