Did you guy's know that the anchor is not centered on a sloop?

Like if everyone doesn’t want bigger ships why not have different varieties of the ships with different layouts, perks and traits?

The sizes are fine, we just need some customizable models is all.

"So, basically a rowboat, but with a sail... and a cannon..." Well, one of your wishes is probably getting granted

we dont necessarily need BIGGER ships but new ship TYPES would be nice. as long as they dont change the amount of masts it should be easy to recognize what ship type a ship is too.

what if the capstan on the sloop is aligned and it’s just the rest of the ship that is misaligned.

We actually did get a ship update not long ago.. the GREAT little bed on the sloop! 😍

Falcore, if you get a bigger bed, you have more bed-room, but less bedroom

I've always thought they should make a fishing/hunting vessel. 4-man capable with multiple cooking stations but with limited armament and medium speed.

I've always thought that the galleon should be adjusted for up to 6 people and they should make a ship in between galleon and brig intended for 4 players

Cosmetic changes to the ships would be nice to make them into "another ship". Gives something extra to spend gold on. "Upgrade" the current ships into another version using in game gold. No difference in ship stats but they'd look different and give abit of variation on the seas.

Cutter, Schooner, and Frigate would all be great. Personally, I wouldn't mind different stats for each, but I also would just love cosmetic variations.

I just got done watching absolutepixel’s nitpick video which made the ending even better

I like how this video was uploaded on the day that Sea of Thieves Twitter posted a teaser video for a Rowboat with a Cannon on it. How fitting!

Here’s a solution: instead of worrying about the possibility of there being 5 Man’o’Wars clogging the server performance, we could accept the idea of “first come first serve” for 2 Man’o’Wars per server and 3 Galleons per server. So if there are already 3 galleons in a server, you can’t be the 4th galleon of that server and are sent to a server that has open galleon slots. Same for the Man’o’War ship, since there can only be 2 in a server, you are sent to a server that has an open Man’o’War slot available. I feel like this method of matchmaking would be good since there won’t be any “error too many galleons” alerts since you’re already automatically sent to a server with open galleon slots. Just food for thought because I remember the Brig being such a game changer and some unique spice added to the seas. Maybe there could be 2 new ship types added at once so that not everyone is focused on the new massive ship type. That could be where the “junk” ship comes in or something else.

Unpopular opinion, but I’d love a ship that could crew 6

We don't need bigger ships: just more variation in them and more different ways of controlling them. Some take more skill but go faster, while others are easy to control but are less fast etc.

Thank you falcore I've been saying a small fast boat would bring more diverse game play since the brig came out everyone wants the "man o war" but few people stop to consider the possibilities presented by having a small ship that could out run larger teams without breaking reality and physics by sailing into the wind! I mean try doing that in the real world and see how far you get, flipping Reaper runners. you know seasons don't fear the Reapers nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are DONT FREAR THE REAPERS

I always thought that they are going to expand ship types horizontally and not vertically. So not more or less players on a ship but by changing the rigging and hull shape a bit you get a new ship type. But I don’t agree it should just be cosmetic. First adding gaff rigging will change how the ship catches the wind slightly. Also they could make it so that fore and aft rigged boats like a cutter go faster in the wind than it’s sloop counter part. So against the wind the cutter beats the sloop but with the wind the sloop beats the cutter but both beat the Gal-e-on against the wind.

Rare simply just doesn’t know what to do so, MORE VARIATIONS OF THE SAME SHIP🙏

The day someone makes an actual sailing simulator within a pirate game is the day I will appreciate.

I've often felt a sail on the rowboat would be amazingly useful, and since we now know there will be a canon rowboat, it'd make it even more useful.

The little confetti on “they added fog” made me smile, thank you :)

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

The one thing I want to customize on a ship is to move the boxes and barrels in different parts of the ship or different configurations so I can have more fun confusing people boarding me or messing around with their stuff aboard their ships.

I would love it if there was a solo dedicated vessel. I am in love with the gunboat idea. A ship that is harder to board which is a killer for solo players and also a ship whose must would be raised quicker if dropped from a chainshot. It should of course have less fire power and be the slowest ship with the wind. It would make my experience much better. Fingers crossed that they add something like that :D

You know what I think would be cool? If you had the OPTION of doing away with crew limits to let up to 5 people on the same boat. Imagine a Sloop with 5 crew mates.

After seeing what they've been capable of with the Pirate's Life tall tale, I hope someday we'll eventually get a reskin of the ga-lee-on (and the other ships). I mean, the Pearl was very detailed with many different sails. Just imagine what sailing gameplay would be with more sails types.

*I cant look at the sloop differently now because of that anchor*

Im gonna be calling a galleon a "gal-e-on" from now on

Chaser cannons, for the love of god, maybe an alternative to the galleon with 3 guns a side, but one in front, so less defensive, but more offensive

there's always 1 or 2 friends out of the party because we have no more room in a galleon or a brigantine :( Would love to have the chance for them to join even if it meant in another boat. If that is an issue with too many friends on one server then add the option to have private instances or "dangerous instances" (where people can join in alliances from the start) so we dont "conquer the server" together and ruin anyone

Men o War ships are absolutely a thing. i learned this doing 10 minutes of research. though they werent made to put tons of cannons on rather than have tons of sails to maneuver and move faster

I want multi crewed ships, 16 and 24 gun Galleons. I want to be fully immersed with 8 or more people on my ship. I want each person to have a job. Like an actual Helmsman, etc so the person playing Captain can essentially watch, observe and plan.

never gonna look at a sloop the same

I feel like there are a ton of things the shipwright could do, like maybe you could buy cannons to replace the harpoons, or have more rowboat docking spaces, etc

All I would need to see is a cannon or two on a slightly larger rowboat and I'd be happy. Think about it: No horizon profile, low and concealable in the waves, and the cannon for boarding/nuisance/distraction. Actually, it'd be really damn scary, so perhaps not.

I think they have pushed the current engine as far as it can go. I would love to hear them take the lessons learned and apply them to a new engine that can handle more players and features, basically, I want them to make Sea of Thieves 2.

I really love the idea of adding variations for the current ships because that makes the most sense and wouldn’t ruin the dynamic

I always thought it would be cool if they increased the crew count by 1 for all existing ships then created a new 2 man ship. so it would look like this: Galleon: 5 Brigantine: 4 Sloop: 3 New ship (Im thinking Catboat): 2 It would be smaller than the Sloop but much bigger than the row boat. It would also only have 1 cannon. But would have better top speed and handling characteristics on the other hand its so small it would easily be sunk when hit. This would make it a fast and agile glass cannon. Also by doing this it would make the fights more enjoyable as the main issue I have with fights in this game is we are always so short handed even with a full crew that I cant just enjoy the fight I have to do to many things at once... This would help alleviate that issue.

Having the same ship but with a different cosmetic look would be so cool. I mean they already have in game models for different ships from the ships in the sea of the damned and tt 6 ghost ships so maybe they’ll be available for us pirates soon 🤞 👀

I wish they'd add multiple gun decks for the galleon to make it more like a real ship

I think a true solo boat for me would be a bit bigger than the rowboat, with a cannon in the front, with harpoons besides it, and a small little storage area tucked below, with enough space for a pirate to fit, and space for treasure, a grill, and the barrels. the cannonball barrels would be 2 barrels on either side of the cannon

"Because I know its annoying you." Love that line

It would be also nice if you could change parts of the ship with just different desing, like the stern or the back of the ship

The thing with the anchor on a sloop... Just noticed it a few days ago.

Dude I can live with your, "Galleon!" But I can never unsee that sloop bit at the end. Lol 😆

I think it would add a lot more to the game adding some different ship types. It would add more layers of immersion and depth to the gameplay. My idea for one ship would be a merchant ship as someone who knows a little bit about naval history my vision of a merchant ship would be a ship designed to be faster than the other ships but it would be lightly armed and would be disadvantaged in a fight. Merchants tried to avoid battle with pirates but were ready to fight if they had to. This would be great for trying to avoid enemies and do the Tall Tales or merchant missions, but if a ship out maneuvers you, catches you by surprise or catches you in port/at anchor. Well then my friend you have quite the hard fight ahead of ya.

Bro the sails work entirely different on those ship types. It would require completely reworking how we use the sails, and what they do, ultimately making them too complex to use for the basic experience they are creating here. Don't get me wrong, I want it to be that way. In a real sailboat doing the sails wrong can destroy them and or capsize your boat. It would crack me the hell up to see some sweaty PVP crews in the drink because they don't bother to learn to sail.

I think Man'o War would be a cool addition to the Arena if they ever at least somewhat fix it.

That cut of all those movies together. Hurt my brain. 🤣 amazing stuff

i love the idea of a solo ship type and i took the time to think of what it whoud be, how it looks like and how it fits with the other ship types. i did run into a lot of problems when you consider what is absolutely necessary that a ship in SOT needs, its hard to fit it all on a ship this small. -first the ship is 1 pirate ONLY -sailing: it has one sail that unlike the sloop is mounted in a fixed position meaning you can't change the angle of the sail but you can raise or lower the sail, the idea of this ship is to be as swabbie pirate (noob friendly) as possible. no matter what the direction from the wind is the ship will sail at the same speed (how fast i don't know what is best yet, leave comment what you think). -steering: the ship has a steering wheel in the rear of the ship that is possible is smaller then the current steering wheel in the game to make space. -anchor: is positioned in the middle of the ship in the upper deck between the cannons. -cannons: two swivel cannons like the one on the cannon rowboat is mounted on each side of the ship. -recourses: are all in a big storage barrel, pretty much a storage crate but instead of a crate a barrel. this saves up a lot of space in the lower deck of the ship. -ship layout: the ship consists of upper and lower deck. the upper deck is located to the rear of the ship and the lower in the front wich is covered by a tarp.(to protect silks from rain) -lower deck: has a small voyage table, a ammo chest, a weapons chest and a small map table.( all other chests and items like the clothing, pet and cooking station are not available due to limited space.) -features: you can not attach a rowboat to the ship, you can fully customize the ship, there is a bell on the mast, there is no crows nest, you change the flag by accessing the flag box on the bottom of the mast(rare pls). and there is one lantern on the rear.

I would love to have the cutter, schooner, frigate styles of ships In the game. Especially a Bermuda sloop.

Now i hate the sloop After that ending

I think a ship that could hold 6 people that is meant less for combat but more for fishing and casual sailing would be really cool.

Rare could add the ability to change parts of the ship like choosing to swap square rigged sails for bermuda rigged sails, or swaping your harpoons for swivel guns.

In my own OPINION the best thing they can do is increase the maximum players allowed on a boat 4 is not enough on a galleon ,should be atleast 6 or 8

I’d like to see an Asian themed version of each, a Viking themed version of each, and an Arabic version of each. Also if not Bigger ships let multiple crews form together and join a server from the main menu. I’ve got 5 friends that want to play with me, and inevitably they each see me playing with someone and want to join… if I’m on a Galleon two get left out. If I’m a Brig it’s three that get left out… It’d be cool if we could have two brigs from the get go. Also I don’t care if this is unfair to the PvP trolls who have only a few other troll friends and would struggle more at the game now, fuck those people

I think variations on the current ship types with different layouts that force different tactical choices by the crew could be very interesting. For example "Ahh see how that brig is a cutter... its cannons are more toward the front. Its got great arcs for chasing, but if we can stay more toward the aft of it, there isn't much it can do to stop us. Other than use it's rear harpoon" (that setup is probbably rubbish) But the idea of having to identify how a particular ship will optimally want to engage you is kind of already there, and it would be nice to have it expanded on.

I feel like diffrent ship variants could have diffrent attributes, like a ship with more cannons but is slower, or a faster ship that sacrifices a few cannons.

I'd love more ship types, if not only for aesthetic reasons

A man of war would definitely bring new life to the game and everyone’s dream of firing volleys of cannonballs would be realised. I think people are too quick to dismiss the idea.

loved the video, found myself laughing all through it!

"Anyway the anchor is not aligned on the sloop" I cannot unsee this! Please have mercy!

ah yes the funny pirate game

I like the idea of a proper 1 man ship 2:53, that looks so cool

The anchor not being centered on the sloop makes a lot of sense why I cant hit the anchor sometimes in a pinch from portside whilst manning the sails. Hence why Im always starboard while on the sails. Quick slight side step to the left and I can drop/raise anchor without "looking".

How about this take? A max number of ship types in one server. 2 man of war, 3 gal, 3 brig, 4 sloop, 5, gunboats. Meaning if there are 2 man of wars in front of you and that's the max, you don't have any more hiding somewhere else.

They should make it so the crews aren't bigger but you can choose ships depending on your playstyle. Ships might : +/- be fast (top speed, acceleration) +/- be maneuvrable +/- have cannons +/- be resistant +/- deal damage when you ram in other ships +/- break the waves better +/- resist storms etc.

Maybe add breaking waves that sweep the deck and push your character around unless you are holding on to the something. -Add a true singlehanding boat, only 1-3 crew eligible. Like norwegian folkboat, sharpie, or catboat, smaller than the sloop. - make it so you can close the companionway to keep the boat dry during a storm.

I could’ve gone forever not realizing that my capstan isn’t centered. Thanks

Managing to mention the Dark Crystal in a video about Sea of Thieves is an immense accomplishment, and you have my eternal gratitude.

Oooh yes. One man ship please. Been wanting that for so long. Also if you choose sails with big holes in them, or special cuts, that should affect speed. We're either forced to sail with sails we don't want, or sail with less of an advantage against sweats.

I've spotted a fatal flaw. The existence of a Gal-e-on implies the existence of one or more of the following: A) a Guy-e-on B) A Gal-e-off C) A Gal-a-on, Gal-i-on, Gal-o-on, and Gal-u-on

Gallion is brutally powerful. This game doesn't need anything bigger.

I cant stop playing sea of thieves Its graphics is perfect and the mechanics turns me on and it constantly gets updates and its balanced

IMAGINE how much better this game would be if the devs listened to their community…

I think that the galleon for now is pretty good as being the largest ship, I’d love to see more medium and small ships, like a junk which is between the sloop and brig

"Either way, the anchor is not centered on a sloop!" - Captain Falcore

First

One issue you haven't mentioned is that it get's harder to add new ships with each and every update because every ship cosmetic needs to be adjusted for it

I think we should be able to add upgrades to ships like double decker cannons, maybe faster raising anchor speed, increased speed, etc. Maybe being able to setup your own forts to defend to make islands more enjoyable too.

I've never seen one of your vids but that was amazing and hilarious!

I would absolutely love a smaller solo ship. As it is now, I’ve been having more fun sailing around in a rowboat than I am sailing the sloop. I’d be happy with Rare just slapping a sail onto a cannon rowboat and calling it good. Great video by the way, can’t believe the anchor isn’t centered on the sloop.

back then they where just refer to as "ships of a line" what makes a ship a "man-o-war" is the purpose of the ship which generally is a war galleon equipped with 16-32 culverins, but those first rate ships of a line was practically obscenely rare due to its cost to run and maintain, mostly admirals are the ones to have these ships

It would also be cool if the cannons on the second level were useable it would be sick to see the cannons pop out when going into a battle

What this game needs is the ability to have a snall island base or something. I love building and that would add abother level. Even if the island is "offline" so all the islands dontt end up taken would still be fun and give nore reasons to gather those resources

I have said for YEARS that this game needs modifications for the ships to change how they perform. Different sails, different hulls, different guns, yada yada. It would be tricky to balance, for sure, but can you IMAGINE?!

Viking long boat. 4 sets of oars. One sail. No cannons. Highly maneuverable and fast if the crew coordinates. Less reliant on favorable wind conditions. Oh and PS add a optional corvus to the brigantine and galleon. Maybe it replaces the foremost cannons. But yeah ships and tools that emphasizes the threat of boarders.

to expand on that variant idea; make it so the different ships are sidegrades. a junk might be much faster than a sloop, but have a worse turn radius, or a cutter might have forward facing cannons but would have less hull. that sort of stuff.

I like how he said “it’s because i know I’m annoying you”

what a damn troll !!!!! gally-on then the sloop capstan !!! LOLOLOLOL i almost died !!

That black sail part lmao 🤣

Imagine a cutter schooner and a frigate being added The cutter is essentially a medium speed, high maneuver, weak sloop meant for 1 person and has 1 gun facing forward with a well 180 degree sweep and rapid fire and a single harpoon. Schooner is a 2-3 man ship that comes with cargo holds/crates upon spawn. Moves slightly above medium speed, than all ships, but is again weaker, no grill, and only has 1 rapid fire cannon on each side. 2 Harpoons, and is weak to damage like every second hit does 2 holes. The Man-O-War 4-6 people. 3 super slow masts however is easily THE fastest ship in the game maneuvers are at a crawling speed however harpoons reach out twice as far, Comes with 5 cannons on each side that reload slightly faster and comes with a full cannonball crate and a supply crate.

no one, absolutely no one: falcore: galli-on, fri-gate

Thanks for telling me that last bit of info Falcore, now everytime I play on the sloop im gonna instantly want to log off 👍

I also always thought that the crew sizes on ships were a bit too small for the ships to function smoothly. It always feels like a scramble to get things done whilst keeping the ship on course. I think the sloop should have a max of 3 crew members. One to steer the ship and give orders (the captain). One to man the cannons and keep an eye out for incoming ships (gunner). One to angle the sails, navigate, and fix holes. (Navigator). Each crew member can also adopt the jobs of others in cases of emergency. The Brigantine should have a 4 player max. One to steer and give orders (Captain). One to man the cannons and keep an eye out for enemy ships (Gunner). One to angle the sails, navigate, and fix holes (Navigator). One who will be free to help the Gunner or the Navigator with their duties depending on the situation (Deckhand) And the galleon should have a 5 player max. One to steer and give orders (Captain). Two to man the cannons and keep an eye out for enemy ships (Gunners). Two to angle the sails, navigate, and fix holes (Navigators). And in all cases, the captain could hop on a cannon or help with repairs if things get super desperate. Of course, cannon reload times would have to be extended a bit to balance things out. I also think a galleon only needs 3 cannons on each side. I have no idea why they made the leap from 2 on the Brig to 4 on the galleon. Cuz in battle someone’s gotta be steering the ship at all times to get good angles on the enemy ships. So all 4 cannons on either side won’t realistically be used at the same time anyway.

I will never not notice the wheel being off centre now, cheers for that headache

There needs to be a super slow 5 or 6 player ship, would be amazing, 5 cannons, 4 floors, metal siding.
