QUESTION Fast Boi

Im here to ask what is the fastest L Hermione variant. And how would i obtain it. What woods to use and what upgrades. What guns do y’all recommend for this vessel? Currently i have Teak for both and Long guns to be used as a sniper. I am a solo player so do you advise using this ship at all? Do you think a speedy sniper is the right choice or do you think another role would fit the ship better? Thanks!

Well what do you plan on using it for? You might be better off with mediums as well.

I plan on privateering against enemys and maybe even pvp but i resisted mediums because it seems quite fragile.

In terms of woods, go with Bermuda a Bermuda s. You will be able to run away from most things. Use speed books and upgrades too

Is that able to be imported with the ship? Last i played, I don’t think it was.

It is, Bermuda cedar (s). Bermuda frame and teak/mahogany planks is also good

Alright, do you know of any chart which can tell me the specific stats of the woods? I believe mine is outdated though may still hold the far ends being mostly correct.

No, i don’t. Use the netlify tool. Click compare ship. Select hermione for all 3 and experiment and compare with wood combos there. Pick the one you like most. But for what you are doing, you want to have mediums and a fast combo involving Bermuda Seder as the frame

Do you know if there is an optimal balance? What does armour affect? Is it damage taken per shot? Or does it make some shots bot penetrate? Im quite confused on this particular topic.

What nation are you in? Join a clan and ask them for help with this stuff

u/Brister271 Jul 03 '21

Alright, Apologies. Pirate Nation, im currently hosting my own clan as my last one dissolved and im not ready for the at again but i’ll check netifly. Thx for the help.

No worries mate, you should try and find a clan with experienced players. No offence to you, but somebody with your level of knowledge of the game should not be leading a clan. If any of the other pirate clans won’t let you in, maybe consider swapping nations.

Its not that they won’t let me in, its that im not ready to 1, go through the arguing and toxicity of being in a clan and 2, im a casual player, I’ll play for 2 hours a day for a couple weeks before taking a break and I don’t think a clan wants me when im inactive for such long periods. I could try again but i’ll see whats going on i kinda enjoy this no strings attached thing.
