Reasons to build a longship?

[h3idi9000]

I'm pretty happy with my karve but is there a reason-reason to build a longship? Serpent survival? Coolness? Just storage and speed?

Thoughts?

Longships are extremely fast, and have massive cargo capacity.
It easily outruns serpents. They do however suck when it comes to turning.
So they're meant for crossing the sea quickly with lots of ore etc.

Regular ship (karve) is far superior for shorter travel or in tight waters, rivers etc.
Karve is best suited for hunting serpents and turtle island mining

I'm gonna keep this at a taste kind of thing, they are kinda bulky when it comes to turning and perhaps occasionally more often to get stuck in a sandbank / harder to push out of said sandbank because of its weight. I go with longships though.

Will we be able to add canons and stuff on the ship?

I know the game isn't full of reality based stuff only, but cannons on a long ship don't fit AT ALL. Would just be off. IMO off course.

Indeed, Vikings did not have guns or cannons.
Viking was 700~1000 AD, cannon was invented in China, 1200 AD.

you could say that they're stretching it by creating their own 10th world, but I somehow doubt Odin would just throw in futuristic cannons there.

Karve its just better in rivers , for ocean exploration ? NOPE.
And their driving in storms or strong winds its just awful
Longship its better in 90% of uses , only take it time when spin when you start to move , its like a huge truck from gta

Karves in rivers really doesn't make sense to me anyway. If I were trying to sail around any distance through tight or windy passages, I would just get out and walk, much faster and less frustrating. Most cases where a karve would be better than a longboat I would choose to just not sail. Maybe if there was another island that was too far to swim, but even then I'd rather just get there with the longboat and make a portal to go back and forth.

Longboat have much more health and can overrun serpents with good wind in your side , hows that cant be better for hunting them ? Karve just resist 3-4 bites and go gome after that because cant overrun them

Sea serpents die in just a few hits with a fine bow and frost arrows.
What you want is an agile Karve that isn't in the way.

It's also easier to loot from a Karve as it's more agile. You don't have to leave the ship at all.As were with a longboat you have to jump into the Ocean to pick it up, then swim back.

The health is irrelevant, you could hunt on a raft too, it will survive. But it's not agile and it's not fast. A Karve can take more than 4~5 hits. More like 6~8. Kill the Serpent, it shouldn't even be able to get close before it dies. Two people with frost arrows can take down a serpent in 1~2 seconds.

Take the parts to make a workbench and karve in the hold of your longship.
