This guide assumes you have:
Pirate Flagship TMAP
If you DONT have all of the above, head to get started.
There are 3 skills in the game:
Strength Navigation Luck
Your pirate, flagships, artifacts and support ships all contribute skill points to one or more of these skills.
Your combined fleet skill is a total of your skill points across all of your assets.
E.G
Pirate STR/NAV/LUCK: 200/250/300
Flagship STR/NAV/LUCK: 200/250/300
Your total fleet skill would be
STR: 400 NAV: 500 LUCK: 600
Each skill impacts your chance of success for a specific interaction type.
Choosing the best combo of pirate, flagship + support ships is the key to getting the most doubloons from a voyage.
Do you need to take so many support ships? Will it be advantageous to stack one skill or take a balanced approach?
This is the nuance of the game, it's up to you to figure it out.
NOTE: You will need to accept multiple contracts on your first voyage, but only the 'lock voyage' contract on any future voyages.
On 'my support ships' tab of the website, under the 'My Tortuga' section, you can buy support ships.
Each support ship gives a boost to 1 skill. You can choose which one.
Support ships have different colour sails to show which skill they impact.
Strength
Navigation
Luck
To buy, click on the support ship you want, increase/decrease the quantity and hit buy.
Skill boost / cost per ship type:
Sloops - 10 boost / 15 doubloons Caravels - 30 boost / 30 doubloons Galleons - 50 boost / 50 doubloons
Support ships are destroyed at random if you lose a strength or navigation interaction.
Any support ships that were not destroyed are returned to you after the voyage to reuse. VOYAGE LENGTH
