Actual pirate fun fact: the sloop was the favored ship of most real pirates. The big ones are famous because they were status symbols of very successful and large pirate crews (who... mostly ended up caught and hanged or decapitated, like Blackbeard was). 90% of pirates and rumrunners were small crews, and small crews used sloops, for many reasons. Sloops are small, ergo, they're cheaper, easy to beach to make emergency repairs (and the beach would not make it worse), and they were incredibly adaptive: they were maneuverable and agile, fast, and could easily overtake and outrun bigger ships, and their bottoms were shallow which allowed them to dominate in shallow warm Caribbean waters and avoid hitting sand bars and coral reefs, which meant you could even take them up larger rivers to raid riverside towns. Smaller crews also meant that you get a bigger share of the loot once everything was said and done and the coin was counted out because there were less people to spread the loot around for.

Brig has nice maneurability as well, especially since you can leave all the manuvering to one person by not using the front sail outside of travel. Also, 3 people.

Ive yet to get run down by an overzealous sloop or galleon tryin to pillage my hauls. I prefer the brig for my PVE needs. At the end of the day...it comes down to crew skill.

Too many ppl obsess over meta on mp games these days
@boad64843 жыл бұрын
let me tell you as a person that does pvp mainly the brig is my favorite as well. Somehow is the coordination in a brig a lot easier than a sloop or galleon. teammates only have a few jobs, know what to do, and can easily take over a job if another crewmate died. And you will be surprised how easily you can out-turn a sloop with good sail management and possible hooking with the hooks on the front. That turn rate combined with the fact you can disengage and engage a target wan ever you like. Your speed in a brig is often so fast that you can be gone before an enemy ship finished there turn to shoot at you. crew skill is always more important than the ship you’re playing in but the brig is definitely no push over. Play the ship on which you and your friends are most comfortable in. If you have 1 friend just play sloop, if you got more choice a bigger ship. The rest of the meta doesn’t really matter.

Seriously, against the right team, getting your mast knocked once as a sloop is almost an instant gg.

One thing that is problematic with the brig is the fact that all it takes is a single person getting knocked off or one balled for you to imediately turn into a worse sloop. A single person cannot bail and repair a brig efficiently with more than a few holes. Which means if one of you is dead, the other has to come off cannons to help with reps which gives the enemy broadside advantage to just keep pelting you. Meanwhile with a galleon if one of you gets knocked off or one balled, the fact that it has 2 decks means that it won't sink nearly as fast as a brig which means your cannoneers can keep shooting and the helm can keep driving while the bilge keeps the water under control until the flex respawns or mermaids back.

So, here’s how I’m thinking one could easily fix a lot of the brigs issues: 1. Raise the gunwales and make it so that they can take holes so all the damage isn’t going into the hull. 2. Raise the mainsail slightly and maybe compensate you making the foremast closer in height to the main (seriously, it would looks so much better if it didn’t just have the sloop mast copy and pasted to the bow. And yes I know that’s the original location of the crows nest.) 3. Make it the fastest ship in the game, it’s clearly got the hull shape for it. The galleon should not be that fast no matter how many sails it has. They were notorious for being big, slow chonkers as they were widest at the waterline (which is on the model in game). This is good for their roles as cargo ships and to a lesser extent ship of the lines, but terrible for pirating. The only pirate galleon that I can think of was Tom Cutters’ “Devils Reach”, and even then there is a lot of debate about her. Plus, the Reach pretty much just collected illegal taxes near Cape Cod instead of chasing anything down. There is also the Golden Hind, but I don’t count her as she was technically still a military warship iirc and just captured whatever got too close. Tangent over. 3. Move the brig to the bow and have the map table just behind it.

Agree with the map stuff especially. Nobody maintaining a ship in their right mind would stick the fucking map so far away from the guy who's meant to be steering you in the right direction.

And to those who say "if you hit one mast on the brigg you will be good enough to hit the other one to." Well most people in sea of thieves are not atleast thasts my experience.

It's significantly faster to raise the one mast on a sloop, than it is to deal with all the holes + 2 potential masts on the brig. No, the extra mast does not give you an advantage, it's actually a handicap. It's like 150% more damage to worry about, with only a 50% increase in crew size... It overall equals out to a hard nerf.

They should make more 1-2 player ship variants. Sloop is the favorite of most, because you often play without friends. I think they could also buff the Brig by making sail management less punishing. I don't say increase its top speed, but increase its medium speed (when sails are not completely aligned to the wind), to potentially give it an advantage in battles, where you don't pay as much attention to sails, and makes it easier to solo with it.

The brig is already faster than the other two ships in conditions of diagonal headwind, can still beat the galleon with straight headwind and beats the sloop with diagonal and straight tailwind.

With there smaller size and that they can turn practically instantly I say the most annoying thing to fight against is a sloop because they can just go around anywhere when your fighting them. While other ships are only better because of cannons and player sizes. When you hit a chain shot on an gallon it’s over and same with brig since it takes a hot minute to fix the masts. I can keep going on saying buffs and debuffs but in the end sloop is very powerful.

@@hugegamer8004 Arguably, there are also Reaper's Bones emissaries who do PVE. There's no rule or law in SoT that states if anyone raises a Reaper flag or become its emissary, they _must_ plunder other ships. Like it's a right they have. That's kind of a stereotype and misconception. Yes indeed, there's a fat chance they really did plunder, but they probably misunderstood the whole thing too. Or maybe not. In any case, despite the Brig not good at much else, it's quite the boon when things start going south and you just gotta flee. Yes, side wind it'll outrun anything. Which is good.

@@hugegamer8004 Listen, let's agree to disagree, yeah ? There's no real or proper way to play the game than just a general rule of thumb for everybody in general; Don't be a jerk. I've seen people who don't use Reaper and still hunt down other ships for shits n giggles. Using a Reaper's flag either intimidates people to stay away, or invite people to come over and shoot at you because it just broadcasts where you are. And regardless of their reputation, Reaper's Bones is just another trading company alongside Merchants, Hoarders and Souls. Even the wiki says the Reapers leave it to Crews to figure out the best way to contribute, since they accept *almost everything* . If a Crew think plundering is the best way, who are we to argue ? It's a game about thieving and piracy. Just because a Galleon is running Merchant emissary doesn't stop them from sinking that Sloop with the same flag and get more loot for their progress. Plus, we _already_ cleared it out that the Brig is fastest of all with the wind being perpendicular, a.k.a at it's side.

@@hugegamer8004 I can agree people putting up Reaper Flag giving off vibes of wanting to fight, even if that isn't their intention. But that's just not the case for Reaper's Bones emmisaries. It doesn't help when achievements and titles for it are locked behind that trading company. You _have_ to be one whether you actually want to just PVE for the progress or be an actual jerk to others. And putting aside how salty some people can be, some being toxic, and the game itself called sea of thieves, people regardless of their ships, trading company of choice, choosing to sink others for profit instead of forming alliance for it is already choosing to be a bully. So we can throw morals out of the window.

The brig is great. Most of his points were weak and some of them were just wrong. The brig is faster than the other ships in angles into/away with the wind, just not directly towards/away from it. Because of this, it is the best for chasing down or running away in most scenarios. Manpower is the second most important thing in pvp, secondary to surprise tactics. 3v2 is a massive advantage, given equal skill between players.

I believe a way the devs could implement new ships without drastically changing the game is adding variants to each ship. For example the brig, they can bring in a 3 manned ‘Junk’ that has bow and stern cannons instead of broadside and is fastest in cross winds. Or maybe for the sloop they can add another 2 man ship the ‘flute’, which on spawn has barrels that are stocked with supplies, it isn’t particularly the fastest in any category but it has gunpowder barrels/fire barrels that can be thrown off the back to deter chasers

@dotapazappy3 жыл бұрын
I was willing to hear you out on why you think but I believe you're wrong and let me explain why. Speed - Most of the time you will not be sailing against or with the wind directly, basically in any direction that isn't head on the brig wins out(which is most of the time btw, source: captain blubbler, falcore, absolute pixel and a few others mentioned this before). Maneuverability - In combat, running only the back sail gives you almost the same movement as a sloop and similar speed. Granted turning still isn't as good and there is more wheel turns but it's completely manageable by one person. I'm the helmsman of my crew and often solo drive it, a good helmsman shouldn't just be sitting there on the wheel expecting callouts. You should be hopping on and off the wheel, checking the map for accurate headings watching for rocks, understanding when to use the captain's curl on the sails for vision and even adjusting sails in combat for you two people on cannons because steadier slower speeds give you more movement AND steady shots from your two cannons. I can't even help much with ONE sail on a galleon but I can easily solo run a brig and it's not too unreasonable for one person to unanchor in a worst case scenario. If vision is your concern then you probably just need to get better at sailing because it's worse on a galleon imo and not *that* much better on a sloop(either way you shouldn't be sitting there doing nothing but holding the wheel anyway) Power - Two cannons and an extra person on a ship where it only takes one person to stay on board repairing/driving(unless you're in a storm) is insanely good. The sloop cannot take a full on direct fight if both broadside each other, it will just loose and the galleon can't spare any extra people for boarding because of the amount of babysitting the ship needs. Sure the galleon has MORE fire power but the amount of times they have people on more than one or two cannons is rare if we're being real, unless it's a one sided fight you'd win on any ship anyway. I think the brig has the power to be the most aggressive, the strongest broadside in hectic situations where repairs and boarding needs to be considered and statistically you'll have the best speed to chase anyone who runs on top of it with all the different angles the wind RNG can come at. HP - This one is a little more debatable but the brig is easily the best ship in terms of bailing out water. It does struggle a bit compared to the sloop for the extra holes it can get on one deck but I think the extra HP does come in handy and sometimes wins out in fights. It's a fair trade off for a ship that is otherwise better in any other way. I wouldn't say the the brig is worse or better in this regard but rather than it has advantages/disadvantages that make it kinda even with sloop/galleon. Sloop is lower hp easier to repair, galleon is higher hp much harder to repair. On a similar note here, others in your comment pointed out that hitting the sloop brig doesn't negate the shot but rather just displaces the hole somewhere else. Mostly something you wouldn't even care or think about, feels kinda like you're just looking for any little point in favour of the sloop if you gotta use something like that because it basically means nothing imo. Not to say you can't easily finesse a brig if you're two chads on a sloop or that sloops auto lose the fight, a lot of it comes down to how you play, defenders advantage and many other tricks but I think in sloop vs brig, the brig has a slight advantage in people and fire power. The sloop's slight advantage in turning isn't that amazing unless you're fighting a much weaker crew. EDIT: You did make me reconsider one thing though. I think as far as noob crews go, the sloop is better. The brig has the most value but you do need a competent and experienced crew or at least a good helmsman to make use of it and get that value. It's much easier to get value out of the sloop and to a lesser extent the galleon for noobs. --- Unrelated note: The best thing about this video is jumping from the crow's nest with a keg to board another ship, creative boarding tips like that are amazing. If this video was JUST that I'd say it'd be a 10/10 ! That's honestly genius.

I want a ship that I can crew myself if I need to, but also one that has more firepower and can take more of a beating than a Sloop. A Galleon you’re kind of fucked if your crew leaves, but on a Brig it isn’t that big of a deal. I also found that Galleon crews are more disorganized than Brig crews. I plan to eventually get a Galleon when I master soloing a Brig, but I’m not ready yet.
@Cozmoz793 жыл бұрын
I fully agree with Bacxaber. It's hard to sink a sloop that has 2 men on it if they are atleast half competent. Sloop only has 2 holes in the front on each side that are a danger. A brig has what 6 holes on one side and more then double in length (16 holes in total on a brig). I mean people, especially some good streamers have been solo slooping vs any ships and won. It's so easy to scoup water from a sloop. As mentioned here, Galleon does have way more strength then Brig, not just due to 2 more cannons +1 more crew, but you can put 50 holes on it and still no water is filling.
