Massive SHIP CHANGES are coming to SEA OF THIEVES 

To answer the confusion Sloops can no longer run away on a headwind as you can now go faster than a head wind sloop with sails angled, if that still doesn’t make sense. Sloop running headwind boat following turn sail go faster

Galleon with a good crew is the CHAD. Brigantine is fast but sinks like a stone. But Sloop is my favorite since I 95% Solo. Dear little tugboat, Toot! Toot! Sloop is the “Little Engine that Could!

I'm sorry it's always the Sloop for me 😂 only in a guild of 5 people and never been able to sail on anything bigger than sloop 😂 also LtPandaeyes, good luck to all

My favorite boat is the sloop, cause no one plays with me. My gamertag is grislytripod907

The sloop is still my preferred ship for the maneuverability. Sure, galleons and brigantines can be quicker, but they turn like you're driving a bus when at full sail. Getting a crew that works together in order to minimize that lack of maneuverability can be an amazing experience, but it's hard to find. Gamer Tag: Salty Shanty

Rare: Are you still solo slooping? Solos: I don't really have a choice. I have no friends that want to play or are able to consistently with me. Rare: Then open crew. It's a good way to make new friends. Solos: The open crew experience is a meme and everyone knows it. Rare: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN!

For clarification, SLOOP IS FASTEST AND CAN OUTRUN A BRIG AND GALLEON WHEN GOING AGAINST WIND. This is good, however the moment you deviate from this strategy because sooner or later you will have to. your GARGANUATLY screwed. Now it's gonna be impossible for a solo sloop to out play a galleon unless the crew on the galleon is swabbies.

The brig was never the best - it might be fast but it's not maneuverable enough to make use of that, and it sinks way too fast The sloop is easily the most versatile, decent durability, excellent handling, and a reaoly convenient layout for both solo and duos Galleon makes up for its lack of steering with sheer firepower, and a 4 man crew can deal with far more problems in general

I really like to play on Galleons because of its immense firepower. Nothing is more satisfying than all 4 cannons being fired at once. My favorite change is that flat sails are not going to be beneficial anymore. This more so emphasizes angling the sails more and making the game more realistic. It also requires more communication among your crew. (FireDemonic)

I think sloops are the best because they’re small and easy to control on your own. “Im Wyda” is the tag

Completley disreguards the weight which makes 0 sense

dummy sails are gone thank god

what’s your favourite boat? do you think the changes will effect it much?

Sloop is my preference since I solo most of the time. Kirstie 72

Brig ObamaLamaSOT

Not sure if Ill actually get sails, but hey nothing to lose. I currently love using the Sloop due to its maneuverability and overall speed with the wind. But with a good crew galleon. Never really use the Brig. (InfiniteJedi)

Wind changes seem good, RIP Brig, we will miss you 😢

Galleons r fun, Brigs are only used if I have 3 people playing with me, sloop I use like 99% of the time MrSt3ampunk

Nah the galleon is def the coolest ship in sea of thieves. Its an actual pirate ship, unlike the rest.

Sloop is the best because you can effectively play it alone, and I dont have friends online at 4 am. KyoTheSlime

Solo Sloop just gives me a sense of peace ❤ (until i get ambushed then i sweat my life out xD) Crimsonabyss65

Brigantine if my favorite boat. feels so good to crew with the homies. qp Arsonist qp

sloop is my favourite ship thrugh and thrugh. VictoryGuardian

Brig because I get to play with friends. JackGrimm6899

Let's see how this will work out...

fav boat: sloop, its the amount of frends i have ANDREJ6995

Brig, unsinkable and most manouverable. Eddiesailor

Why dod thay make dummy sailing useless now just un necessary

Favourite is the galleon because you need to work together.

Sloop is just the best classic for playing and vibin, galleon is the funnest for an adventure with friends. (Gaublin6606)

Sloop is simply the best! :D - GrandAdmiral313

I enjoy the brig personally Planeanemone437

I wish the sloop was the fastest, it's not easy to 1v4 in this game

Sloop is by far the best ship - ParadoxsEnvy

Always picking the Sloop RamblingG

Sloop is the goat (DripSteve4335)

brig cuz i only got 2 friends ; nNezumi

Wait what of those things is actually new? Because it feels like this is how they always behaved? The Sloop was always the best against the wind and a galleon was always faster than a brig with the wind. It always made a difference how many sails catched wind and how far they are down. Also even with flat sails not being beneficial its still going to be default when not able to catch wind because it still will be faster than putting the sails against the side wind or is that what they changed? Do you have to agnle them gaianst the wind instead of in the front now? What am i missing here? Also if the sloop is still the fastest against the wind than it should still be able to escape that way. Any ship can be faster than any other shiptype when driving in the right angle to the wind. Everything else would be super unfair.

Just off first thoughts seems like sloop about to get unbalanced and weakened. Which sucks for people like me who solo sloop most often. Logically the mechanics make sense, but for game play for solo players idk

Truth be told this will not change how most fights are fought, spiraling at slow speeds and then death spiraling will not be effected by this in terms of balancing, if we’re being realistic, this is just to balance travel times and management

sloop all the way MrA500

Sloop os my favorite 😊

Sloop is just the best, galleon is too lagy and brig is too flat and sinks too fast for my liking. Kairus SOT

try syncing your autio before releasing the video. You look like a 1970's japan flick

Sloop

gotta go with the sloop. It's a pain to organize all 4 of my crewmates, so the duo format is my favorite, especially for hourglass. RocknLobster951

I really love the sloop because its just way faster in turning and tiny little maneuvers, the brig sinks to fast but is also very fast what makes it fun to play. And you need to walk way to far to bucket on a galleon or risk backsplashing also trying to captain a galleon can get annoying with friends who think like a patatoe. My overal favorite is the sloop.I don't really have a favorite change but at the moment but I do like the fact that the brig is going to be nerfed if you can call it that. (rubcuf)

My favorite ship is the sloop since I only have one friend that plays regularly so it’s really the only one I use

I like the sloop because it’s the easiest ship to make a funny rhyme with when naming my ship, Beetlebowl30643

Sloop the best. Easiest to handle and escape GT: Server5495

Sloop is my favourite, gamertag is AceKillRBee

I like the galleon and the sloop but the galleon I have no Freind’s to play with

Brig is my preference but that could be due to the crew I normally sail with. Ranyaella

Brigantine is best for me, just wish the railings were more protective.

Brig gamertag- thxmas ll( double L) but lowercase

Sloop will always be my first love. CptRumgut

brig is my favorite cos we play it the most. razta11.

My favorite is the Sloop. Me and my wife sail together all the time. GrayWerewolf

Sloop is my favorite boat overall. Beachy117

This is gonna make interactions more fun on the seas. Ogc b3a5tman

Love the brig but nothing like a good crew on a galleon.

I like SCHLOOB (sloop) RedcubeSoT

My fav ship is the Brig, I LOVE SPEED. BottomOfDaOcean

Your image (red arrows) of ships is wrong you keep putting the slower ships in front of the fastest. Fastest should be front slowest at back....no???

I'm confused I've played sea of thieves since day 1 and I thought most these mechanics were already in the game

1:29 what are these sails!!!?

this is only going to change how chases work. It will not affect hourglass.

sick ass video

check your data. your giving out false information.

My fav ship is the gallon because it looks the coolest. GT northbendr

Chasing sloops has been so much easier now. Brig chasing sloops, never would of guessed I catch up to one against wind. No more running little sloop :D Thanks Rare ^_^

At 1:07 you say the sloop is the fastest in a headwind but then you say at 3:11 it's not, so what is it?

The Sloop is actually a Cog , if anything SOT needs to add accurate historic ships , even ship building.
