One Man ship Concept Discussion ( Solo ship )

  • I think nearly everybody I talk to wants some kinda of real solo ship. Manning a sloop as a single player vs. a sloop of two players always end in your ship deep down below unless your some pirate master.

    I had the idea of perhaps a solo ship.

    • Very fast in which you control it using the rudders pole.
    • Has maybe a single canon forward facing.
    • Its very weak so not meant to go into direct combat but still has defensive capabilities.
    • Doesn't have all the box's for changing skins and etc but still has food and planks. Canonballs must be carried in inventory or a very limited supply of them on board.
    • There is no below or above deck. Just on deck eg. single level
    • Doesn't have a crows nest.
    • General concept art for the ship would be a Dhow.

    Maybe we can open a discussion of perhaps the future implementation of this. Discussion really welcome below.

  • NO forward facing cannons... ever.

    I think all ships need to have all of the same basic features (ie, crows nest) to maintain balance.

  • @khol-thndrwlkr So maybe no cannons at all but maybe some grapple mechanic would be cool.

  • The sloop is perfect for solo play. I find it to small for two players. I would much rather have a bigger ship for 2-3 players.

  • This is the only ship I need:

  • The sloop is good the way it is. It’s actially been made way too durable compared to a galleon as it takes longer to sink. Soloing sloop is not at all hard you just have to practice. The sloop also has too much in the way of cargo hold. In theory it’s smaller and lighter so it shouldn’t need 200 cannon balls. Also there could be more shallow areas for sloops to avoid galleons in a chase circumstance.

  • I don't understand why people are saying that the sloop is to hard for a 1 man crew, its east as hell, every item that you need to work with to keep the ship sailing is right there at the wheel house

  • @hybrid-elite18 No. Sloop is good as it is.Maybe some cosmetic changes, nothing more.

  • I think the sloope is awesome it handels amazing, everything is right there for you to control just practice. I find the ship sinking more often when I have other people than when I said alone. And I can run circles around big ships just make them chance you agins the wind helps alot go into rock formations they won't be able to manuber around them get good with your cannons and snipers and done you can take them down
