Ship Types per Mission

[Don Alfonso]

Admiralty Missions

 

Thanks to the cooperation of our fellow forum members, I have compiled this list of ships you could encounter in each rank admiralty mission. Notice, there are no specific probabilities for each one...

 

It would be quite useful for everyone to know which and how many ships spawn for each mission rank;

 

 

Rank 1

• Lynx
• Cutter

Rank 2:

• Cutter
• Pickle
• Privateer

Rank 3

• Brig
• Snow
• Two Privateers
• Two Cutters
• Two Pickles
• Any combination thereof...

Rank 4

• Brig
• NavyBrig
• Snow
• Mercury
• Pickle
• Two Pickles

Rank 5

• Renomme
• Cerberus
• NavyBrig
• Snow & Mercury
• Two Snows
• Two Brigs

Rank 6

• Frigate
• Cerberus & NavyBrig
• Two NavyBrigs

Rank 7

• Belle Poule
• Two Renomme
• Two Cerberus

Rank 8

• 3rd Rate
• Two Constitutions
• Constitution

Rank 9

• Two 3rd Rates
• 3rd Rate

2nd Lieutenant (Rank 3) I have had the following:

 

1x Brig

or

1x Snow

or

2x Privateer

or

2x Cutter

or

1x Privateer and 1x Cutter

or

1x Privateer and 1x Pickle (only once though)

 

Dual ship combat seemed to be more frequent than single ship perhaps 60% 40% or 70% 30% cant be sure as I didn't keep records.

Mmh, how about rank 4? Could I assume there to be lone Navy Brig or Mercury? (since those are 150 crew ships more or less)

[Richard Plantagenet]

I haven't done one of those yet, but will be starting them tonight.

[Shoklar]

I might be missing a possibility for rank 6...all I think about these days is the recurring nightmare of trying to solo 2x Constitutions.

 

Confirmed Spawns for Rank 6:

a) 1x Frigate

1x Cerberus, 1x Brig/Navy Brig

c) 2x Brig/Navy Brig (advanced AI)

 

Confirmed Spawns for Rank 7:

a) 1x Belle Poule

2x Renomee

c) 2x Cerberus

 

Confirmed Spawns for Rank 8:

a) 1x 3rd Rate

2x Constitution

 

 

I don't even want to think about what Rank 9 is going to be...probably a Pavel or 2x 3rd Rates.

[Don Alfonso]

Still need info on Rank 4 and Rank 5 missions.

[Richard Plantagenet]

So far in 1st Lieutenant (rank 4) I've had either a single Navy Brig, single Snow or a single Mercury, no doubles yet but I have only done a couple.

Rank 5 missions always spawn to 6th rate ships for me. e.g. two Snow, Snow Brig, Merc Navy Brig

[Bleakbeard]

Might want to note what rank captain the AI gets.  As a Marauder (rank 4) I met a Post Captain (rank 8) which I'm pretty sure had much better ai than his predecessors.

[TommyShelby]

2x 3rd Rates every time. ^^ 

[Don Alfonso]

So, all that is missing are Rank 5 and... I suppose the AI improves in each rank mission - but it barely seems like the skill of the AI is going to matter if you are going up against some beefier and outnumbering ships.

[TheDoc]

Rank 8 - Single Consti
Rank 9 - Single 3rd

[Richard Plantagenet]

Update here for rank 4 just had 2x Pickle.

[Vaz]

Rank 5 spawns

 

Renomee (seen it once)

Cerberus

Mercury + Snow

[Don Alfonso]

Thanks guys, and since we've got enough for this to be a guide... If a mod could move this to the Guides section - that would be great.

[Trebs]

Could be to fun add 1st and 2nd rates in the high end missions

And make it so there is NO WAY to capture them only sink them

[Prosac]

rank5

 

Two Snows

NavyBrig

Two Brigs

 

edit:

just had Brig & NavyBrig

and Brig & Snow

Big thanks to Don Alfonso this topic was sorely needed.

[Cmdr Thrudd]

2x 3rd Rates every time. ^^ 

 

I think they've changed it as I've been running rank 9 missions for a few days now and were just getting just a 3rd Rate or two Constitutions same as we got at rank 8.

[Fluffy Fishy]

I think they may have changed the rank 5 missions too, I havent seen any renoms all day.

Yeah some high end ships to fight is a bit of a must really. Certainly don't want to be able to capture them, just sink them after an epic fight

[Tindahbawx]
