[@jakeking974]

@@citizenspaghetti might wanna check again, that's 12 knots PER SECOND, so roughly 22 kilometers per second or 22000 m/s, which is also about 64.1 times the speed of sound

[@citizenspaghetti]

@jakeking974 yup skipped an entire step, lol.

[@commandoepsilon4664]

Since knots are a unit of speed knots per second would be a unit of acceleration. So every second moving at 12 knots per second your speed would increase by 6.2 meters/second, so they'd be pulling 0.67Gs of forward acceleration. Not entirely unheard of for a human construction, but no way is a sailing ship doing that.

Never played Skull and Bones, but i mean, SoT is pretty damn unfair itself. The dumb choices of game mechanics which are disallowed/controlled and force new or lesser skilled players to always be at a major disadvantage. A few examples: your spyglass/scope reflecting light for everyone to see, even when there isn't direct bright light nearby. Or the creepy Merman "helper" who takes his sweet time when your ship is headed straight for a rock, but flies out of nowhere instantly when you might want to covertly scout out an island without drawing *_massive neon green glowing smoke pillar_* type of attention to yourself. Or heaven forbid you're new to the game and want to crouch in some bushes to hide from pve mobs, or the 90% of players who kill everything that moves for fun and who can't stop to pick up your loot, cause THAT would slow down their "find and murder next solo player" rate. (But amazingly, multiple enemies can 'spawn camp' your ship all day long, because you can Scuttle and feel/look like a coward... I guess?) Oh, and I especially love how the game tells everybody nearby how awesome you are by displaying your name in big bright bold letters directly above your big dumb pirate head, EVEN when you'd prefer it didn't.
