Preparing Your ship

Before heading out into the High Seas to engage in Ship Combat, you need to prepare your Ship .

• Deploy your ship if you haven’t done so already.
  • Go to any shore with unobstructed water (docks are the easiest)
  • Double-click the Ship Deed (or Ship Model if you acquired a second-hand ship)
  • Choose a directional facing (this will depend on where you are deploying it)
  • Position your ship in the water so it is unobstructed and click. If placement is valid your ship will appear, otherwise you will get an error that either indicates something is blocking the ship or the placement was too far away.
     
• Board Your Ship
  • You can board and disembark ships by double-clicking on the Mooring Lines
     
• Place Your Cannons
  • Make sure your ship is near shore or a dock
  • Double-click your Carronade or Culverin deed and target an empty Weapon Pad to place your cannon
  • Repeat for all the other Weapon Pads you want to arm (you do not need to arm every Weapon Pad)

Empty Weapon Pad Deployed Weapon Pad

• Add Munitions To Your Cannons
  • Double-click a cannon to open up the new Cannon container
  • Place a stack of Fuse Cords, Powder Charges, and Ammunition inside the Cannon Container
  • You can also drop resources directly onto the Cannon to add them to the container
  • When operating your Cannon, it will automatically pull resources from this container

• Prep Your Cannons
  • Any worthy Seafaring adventurer should be ready for combat at all times!
  • To control your Cannons, double-click on them and prepare them for firing by pressing the “Prep” button
  • This will begin the automated Cannon preparation process, which will Charge, Load, and Prime the Cannon

You are immediately ready to head out onto the High Seas !

Piloting Your embark and Finding other Ships

Piloting your ship can be done a couple unlike ways .

• Direct Control
  • To directly control your ship, double-click the Wheel on the ship to begin piloting
    • You cannot pilot while mounted, so make sure to dismount first
  • Right-click on the water in any direction to begin moving your ship
  • If your destination is too far from your current heading, your ship will turn to face that direction
  • Use closer and more precise mouse movements for finer control
     
• Tillerman Commands
  • You can also issue verbal commands directly to your Tillerman
  • This allows you to stay mobile on the deck of your ship, combat enemies, and man the cannons
  • The commands are as follows:
    • Forward – Moves you forward
    • Back – Moves you backwards
    • Left – Moves you directly left
    • Right – Moves you directly right
    • Forward Left – Moves you forward at an angle to the left
    • Forward Right – Moves you forward at an angle to the right
    • Back Left – Moves you backwards at an angle to the left
    • Back Right – Moves you backwards at an angle to the right
    • Stop – Stops all movement
    • Turn Left – Turns your ship 90 degrees to the left
    • Turn Right – Turns your ship 90 degrees to the right
    • Turn Around – Turns your ship around 180 degrees
  • You can also more precisely control ship movements by combining the above commands with the following speed controls:
    • Slow – Moves in the specified direction at a slower pace (i.e. Slow Left, Slow Back)
    • One – Moves a single tile in the specified direction (i.e. Left One, Forward One)

immediately that you know how to pilot your ship, it ‘s time to head out and find some Pirates to scuttle !
… Or Merchant ships to Pillage, if you prefer !
The easiest way to find ships is to use Ship Tracking. Ship Tracking is an congenital ability you get when aboard a Galleon and does not require the actual “ Tracking ” skill .

• Ship Tracking
  • While on your ship, say “Start Tracking” to bring up tracking arrows for any nearby ships
  • If you do not see any arrows, then there are no ships nearby. Move to a new area and try again.
  • Ship Tracking will track up to 5 ships in a 200 tile area
  • Ship Tracking tracks ALL ship types in the area, including other player ships

now follow your tracking arrows until you find a target you are happy with .

ship fight

To engage in ship combat, you will want to decide how you are more comfortable contend .

• Head On
  • With this method, you typically only control the Bow Cannon (front), and point the Bow of your ship directly at your target (this can be the Front, Back, or Side) and just fire from the Single Cannon.
     
• Hit-and-Run
  • With this method, you typically get close enough to your target to fire your Cannon(s), then retreat out of range to reload. This method can be safer, but is more time consuming.
     
• Broadside
  • With this method, you typically approach the ship with your Port or Starboard side facing the side of your target. Positioning this way allows you to hit them with multiple cannons at once, for a much faster kill, but at a higher risk to yourself.

You will besides want to grab the controls for all your cannons ( or merely the ones you plan to use ), and move their gump somewhere convenient. I put mine to mirror the layout of the ship I am using :

immediately approach your target and begin firing. If you are in proper crop, you will see price numbers appear from your target when you fire your cannons :

The Tokuno Ship, Gargoyle Ship, and Britannian Ship will do 5000 Damage per Cannonball .
The Orcish Ship will do 6500 Damage per Cannonball .
Dread Pirate Ships and Tokuno Merchant Ships will take around 70,000 points of damage before they are scuttled .
gargoyle Merchant Ships take around 100,000 damage before they are scuttled .
once you scuttle your target, you can board their transport by double-clicking on the Mooring Line on their ship .

Kill the Crew, Loot the Cargo Hold, and any ship deck containers for resources and a casual at Maritime Trade Cargo .

Plunderbeacons

Plunderbeacons are a new stationary enemy ship/platform found on the High Seas .

They are heavily fortified with cannons on all sides, and are manned by 8 Orcish Crew .
The cardinal radio beacon ( the Lighthouse ) is immune to all price while the Orcish Crew are alive .
You will need some way to deal crop damage to defeat the Orcish Crew, as there is no direction to board the Plunderbeacon in order to fight in melee combat .
once the Orcish Crew are defeated, put one of your ship cannons to be in range of the Lighthouse and begin firing on it .
The Lighthouse takes just over 65,000 points of damage before it is destroyed in dramatic fashion :


You can receive Maritime Trade Cargo from killing the Orcish Crew, and a Maritime Trade Cargo of Mythical quality after defeating the beacon .

Repairing Your transport

If your embark takes besides much damage in combat, it will become scurry. When your transport is scuttled, it can not move .

To repair your ship, you need to get it near the Shore. fortunately you can apply Emergency Repairs from the water system, which will allow your ship to move highly slowly for several minutes .
To apply Emergency repairs, bring up the Context Menu for your Ship ‘s pilot burner :

To apply repairs of any kind, you need Boards and Cut Cloth in your armory .
The minimum required for Emergency Repairs is 115 Cut Cloth and 45 Boards. This will give you 5 minutes of Emergency Repairs before the repairs give out. You can use more resources for more Emergency Repair fourth dimension .

If you engage in any Ship Combat while under Emergency Repairs, the repairs will immediately give out .
once you make it to the nearest shore, you can start applying Permanent Repairs to your ship through the context menu. You will need Boards and Cut Cloth to apply Permanent Repairs, the more you can carry at once, the more you will repair .

reprise this march until your ship is 100 % repaired .

Repair Your Cannons
sometimes overlooked, but your Cannons will take damage ampere well. They will receive wrong from foe Cannon fire, and convention wear-and-tear from use .

If your carom is destroyed, you lose all resources that are in its container .
To repair your cannon, you need Iron Ingots in your inventory. alike to repairing your ship, you need to be near the prop up to apply repairs to them. Bring up the context menu for each cannon and choose to repair it .

Repairs will take a couple hundred ingots at most, depending on the condition .

now you can head on back onto the High Seas for retaliation !

Repairing Tips
Having the repairs performed by a craftsman ( Carpentry and Tailoring ) will reduce the sum of resources needed.

A GM Carpenter will reduce the come of woodwind required by half. A GM Tailor will reduce the sum of fabric required by half .
The cargo reserve of your ship acts as a Commodity Deed Box. The easiest way to get adequate materials to your gravy boat is to Deed it up first, then convert the Deed in your ship ‘s cargo control for use .
Ship ‘s will require different amounts of resources to repair, depending on their damage and what type of ship it is .
The Tokuno Ship, for exemplar, requires around 1600 Boards and Cloth to in full repair .
