savior99 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 0 - If a character is unconscious at the end of a battle, does he/she still get the experience? These all related to ships/naval battles: 1- Is it worth investing in bigger ships (very expensive)? I would rather upgrade some of my weapons to "superb" (30.000). And i noticed you can still "ram" on bigger ships and solve the matter on board with a standard fight. 2- If you sink the enemy ship, you don't get any loot? 3 - what are your basic strategies, you shoot cannon (to sails, hull or crew?) then you close in and fight on board? 4 - how come i always miss with my cannon shots (expert or seasoned cannoneers) while enemies always hit me? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES These all related to ships/naval battles: 1- Is it worth investing in bigger ships (very expensive)? I would rather upgrade some of my weapons to "superb" (30.000). And i noticed you can still "ram" on bigger ships and solve the matter on board with a standard fight. YES IT IS WORTH INVESTING IN BIGGER SHIPS SO YOU CAN SOFTEN ENEMIES UP BEFORE YOU BOARD THEM TO MAKE THE SHIP BATTLES EASIER. YOU CAN KILL CREW WITH YOUR CANNONS TO REDUCE THE ENEMIE NUMBERS 2- If you sink the enemy ship, you don't get any loot?YES ALL OF IT 3 - what are your basic strategies, you shoot cannon (to sails, hull or crew?) then you close in and fight on board? I WILL POST YOU A LINK 4 - how come i always miss with my cannon shots (expert or seasoned cannoneers) while enemies always hit me? Thank you! The basic approach is: Get in range of your cannons with Full Sail Turn to board or starboard Hold Position (increases ACC a lot) Fire cannons Jibe Hold Position Fire Jibe ...and so on https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104486-how-are-people-winning-ship-bounties-on-potd-i-am-getting-a-flogging/ Edited August 6, 2018 by Teclis23 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgFIREBALLS Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 0) I haven't been checking but considering my mercs that I recruit at the same level always have pretty much identical experience I would assume yes 1) If you want to sink rather than board, yeah. But there are people who can play the broadside game with just a sloop (starting ship) or dhow. 2) You get less loot, but "important" loot will always conveniently float 3) If you wanna sink, cannonball the hull. If you wanna board, board (manually). Other options suck 4) Maybe you're not at an ideal range for your cannons. Using 1 turn on halting before firing also improves accuracy. 1 My Deadfire mods Out With The Good: The mod for tidying up your Deadfire combat tooltip.

savior99 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 many thanks, i was missing the HOLD command. I will experiment with some of this. I have 4 or 5 bounties to hunt for.. I presume shooting at the sails is just a waste then, unless you want to escape and they are faster than you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sink (rather than board) with the sloop too. It’s not an “either/or” proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, you can easily sink any ship with a Dhow (probably even a sloop, I just bought a Dhow halfway through cause it was cheap). I never went past a Dhow and I have no problem sinking Junks on the regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
