Better Ships for All!

[Vernon Merrill]

A Herc with a above-average captain is *slightly* OP....  mostly due to turn rate and sailing profile.

A Herc with and average or below-average captain is a fine DLC ship.

Despite all my bitching about how I hate the "mods" system, player skill will still make a far greater difference in MOST battles.

If a Herc or Xebec is what some players need to feel confident enough to fight, so be it...

What is needed is making Doubloon admiralty ship notes less expensive.

Someone reaching the first stage of a patrol should be able to buy a ship note from the reward to go back to fight immediatly. This would make it a real non-$$ altenative to instant pvp.

 

And yes for crafted ship in capturable port = guaranteed at least 1 class better than standard 3/5.

I have no opinion over quality of dlc ships, except they killed the shallow as the most fun and balanced place to pvp.

Admiralty notes must not ever be a better alternative than crafting the ships. IMO.
