I’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 wouldn’t use it

how do you know its faster

That’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 aren’t interested in ship combat and don’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), it’s not like there’s a boat that’s just the best at everything

Tbf, we don’t use stuff like ketches anymore the terminology hasn’t even survived in modern day navy’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 haven’t seen much alteration and currently the caravel is the biggest and fastest so we’ll see if ketch is bigger and faster as well

Mihawk didn’t have a row boat his ship was wind powered

Wasn’t the sailboat the fastest in AA?

This isn’t about realism it’s about game balance

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

And, we’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.

Oh I missed that thanks

Well the caravel may have more health than the ketch since it’s wider, and the ketch is almost as thin like the sailboat but longer but idk
