NERF SHIP DECAY

[SwaveyFTW]

first off, i love this game but dont play with anyone so when i build a bigger ship, then the sloop, it takes a long time. i had all of my walls repaired, on my schooner, to a full health of 5100 when i got off at 3am on 1/1/19. I go to work and come home, 16 hours later and log onto Atlas. All of my planks were all right around 1k health left. as i was repairing (going back and forth from island to ship) the ship actually sunk right in front of my face.

The part that annoys me is i have 2 other sloops and both were at 1k health left as well but only start with 2400 hp. Why is my Schooner loosing more hp and faster than the sloop. it takes almost 15k mats just for one plank, that shouldnt happen.

My suggestion is have it be x amount of damage per x amount of time. the bigger ships with more hp would obviously last longer than smaller ships.


Please give me input. If im wrong please correct me. I love this game and would love to continue playing it.

Thanks

If you lower your anchor your ship won't decay and if you have crew on the ♥♥♥♥ make sure to unseat them and they will repair it over time

[SwaveyFTW]

ahh the anchor!!! so if you raise sails then the anchor doesn't automatically drop. i assumed it did and i believe that was my problem

[KitKat]

The anchor of the ship can only be deplyed in shallow areas

Well, the overall decay on the planks/gun ports are horrible in overall.
Sail for 1-2 hours and you've lost atleast 1k durability on some planks/gun ports.
Encounter a Ship Of the Damned when crossing into a new server will wear down your planks drasticly.

There are skills in the Captain tab that reduce this by up to i think 50% . I think the first one is 20% and the second and third skills are both 15% .

How do you unseat them. The crew i had seemed unresponsive once put on the sails.

Nerf Food decay too

target them and hold the selection key. just dont sail with them unseated. i had to swim about 15 schooner lengths to find one who had slid right off the back. had some friendly dolphin escorts tho

Also if you didn't know there is a ship resource chest which if it has craft mats in it you can repair the ship without needing to carry the materials on your character meaning you just need the repair hammer .

No comment i already cried about my schooner blowing up when i launched it. Real tears. It was so beautiful. Cannons and everything.

Yes don't anchor in a freeport the ships will still take damage to stop people jamming them up with boats .
