Out of the novice ranks and wanting to fly Galleon

<< < (2/3) > >>

HamsterIV:
I like to use the ram as a quick transition between flying an murdering mode, it is a great way to bleed off speed and turn the ship. However I wrote this with a new galleon pilot in mind, and there are a lot of ways an attempted ram with a galleon can go horribly wrong.

Tanya Phenole:
Galleons are really cool. I call them "parade of heavy guns" XD

Some tips
- sometimes this  ship needs stability more than turning, so you have your time out of the helm, helping to repair baloon or hull. There are also ENGINEERS who pilot galleon - they just move ship from position to position and do repairs rest of time.

- you want two people on bottom deck

- you can help rebulduing the hull with a hysteric scream "TANK MODE TANK MODE TANK MODE" - this increases survivability almost twice. Galleon reduilded by 2-3 crews at same time  can survive 7-8 armor breaks in one combat XD

Mandoza:
I found it's really nice bringing the mallet for the balloon and making top engie bring chem spray it really makes the engie able to go downstairs more now that he's not worrying about the balloon as much also.  The balloon of the galleon has a surprising amount of health and you will find that you have time when pioliting to run over and hit it by the time it's done it's cooldown and do that pretty much forever...  It's better to prevent your engie from waisting time rebuilding when I can keep up the balloon just fine as long as you(I?) get fire support...

The Galleon's balloon doesn't have any more health than any other ship's balloon, and if you take a mallet and the balloon pops (which will happen a lot against carronades and lumberjacks, it's a really easy target), you'll really regret not having a wrench.

You could also engi captain, of course. Then you've got yourself a mallet and a spanner.

Queso:
I do love me some engi-captaining.
