Ships

Here is a list of the ships you can control and fight in Pirates! Gold. Ships will be listed in a ranking system of four stats. Ranking system is listed from 1 to 10, 10 being best. Space, Speed, Vitality, and Power. Space means how much space there is for trading and for crew members, Vitality for how much cannon blasts it can withstand, like Vitality, and Power for it's ability to shoot cannons. Speed means versatility of sailing, quickness in sailing AND quickness in battles also.

Merchantman- Used by the English mainly, and a very popular ship for trading, known as the "Merchantman". However it's not good for speed or for battling but can take some damage. Space: 7, Speed: 4, Vitality: 7, Power: 6

Sloop- One of the coolest and best ships in the game. The sloop is mainly used for PIRATES, so most of the time when you see one it will be a pirate, be careful! I love sloops due to their versatility and being the best small ship! One more little thing... Sloops cannot crash due to shallow reefs! Only Sloop and Pinnace ships do not crash in shallow waters! Space: 3, Speed: 8, Vitality: 5, Power: 5

Barque- Barques are larger than Sloops and can fight better and have more space. However, they can crash in shallow reefs which is a pity, separating it from being with the Sloops and Pinnaces in speed and versatility. Space: 4, Speed: 6, Vitality: 6, Power: 6

Pinnance- The smallest ship, terrible space and very small crew amount. Despite this, they are the quickest ship of all and should only be used for very short voyages. The French use these ships a lot. Space: 2, Speed: 10, Vitality: 3, Power: 3

Frigate- A very common ship for the French, for they basically are mostly who use them. Frigates are good for trade and space, and can take some damage, but as for cannon power, nothing to brag about and they are slow. Space: 7, Speed: 4, Vitality: 6, Power: 5

Galleon- The famous Galleon, we've seen plenty of these in pirate movies, the Galleon is one of the most popular ships in history. Anyway... used for many voyages and by the Spanish, Galleons are sort of a downgrade of a War Galleon. Space: 8, Speed: 4, Vitality: 8, Power: 7

War Galleon- Upgrade of the Galleon... and the super ship of sea battles! Super crew space and super power and vitality, with terrible speed. War Galleons are the strongest ship in the game, but I would not suggest using them if you are a quick Fencer. Space: 10, Speed: 3, Vitality: 9, Power: 8

Cargo Flynt- The worst ship in the game! Used by the French mainly for trading! They may have good space and some power, but they are slow and are not vital! Space: 8, Speed: 4, Vitality: 5, Power: 6
