5 Ship Types for Sea of Thieves (Speculation /Graphic)

By far this is my favorite thread in all these forums.

Lovely idea's and the drawings make it complete.
I believe there should be a lot of tests on this, but I think they're already on it, hihi.. :P
Just in case they haven't seen this all, here's my vote!

Just bumping this for anyone that hasn't seen it, great concept. Love the smaller ships.

@lukzini they will probably around june 10th e3 heard a big updates coming on that date so i disagree

Hypothesis: Sea of Thieves can sustain a 5 Ship Meta

A lot of people calling for other ship types, but in breaking down the game it only makes sense to me that there are these 5, of which we already have 2. Any Thoughts? Would this throw the Meta off balance?

Thanks for your time!

I don't specifically like the Junk, not sure if it fits the motif. Otherwise I would love all these ships in game and 100 more, lol. It would make the world richer.

Would love the Man O War and the junk to be in. Still a six ship limit but there could potentially be much larger player variance. A Man O War decimating multiple ships, or a few small ships teaming up on one would be great.

@longshott9981 Change the name from Junk to Schooner, and make the ship look like a Schooner, and I think the community would be happier campers. It's a ship that would fit perfectly in that slot, and look better doing it. Not sure where the name 'Junk', came from, but that's kind of what it sounds like, no offense...
(schooner is similar to how you have the Junk, but with a cabin-down design, disconnected from the lower deck. The ship you use in Assassin's Creed Rogue is a Schooner).

Would suit me except the first one.

Raft, Sloop, Junk, Frigate, Galleon, Man'o'War

I'd be tempted to give the man-o-war a 4th mast to raise it's difficulty. However they really only had 3

This (having only 3 masts) can be compensated with a slower-than-galleon sail trimming (turning) speed. This will require 2 people on each sail for it to be efficient in any way.

@smaalx I didn't read all the pages, not sure if there are any dev responses, but I feel like they usually look at the posts that have many responses. Surly they've at least seen this by now. Hopefully the game is supported for a time to come so we can see ideas like this tried.

Don't forget Cutters and Clippers.

A no gun ship all about speed and capacity. Cutters could be 5-10 man sized.

Clippers should be about Speed but 1 or 2 man

@shoothere4exp you should be one of them. your skill is perfect man.

Amazing work ShootHere. Don't forget to include this minor design element both galleon and sloop currently have: the map must be visible from the deck.
