James Stormhazzard's Guide to Survival at Sea

Surviving at Sea How to:

1. maintain distance from the Corsairs, behemoths, and juggernauts, since those EITC vessels use the highly volitale explosive ammo.

2. at every chance you get, repair the ship, no matter how much damage you took.

3. when you are repairing the ship, repair till you can't repair no more, look at the HUD sor the ship health. you see a small buldgy triangle with three meters (left, right, and bottom) and the hull (structural integrety) and speed (integrety of the sails and masts).

4. when the hull reaches critical level, flee to a quiet spot, and tell everyone on the ship, to repair.

5. if the captain of the ship happens to drive in close quarters to a big ship, use the explosives, if it is port to starboard or vice versa, or even port to port and the other, use explosives, at that close distance, it should be near immpossible to miss.

6. Don't take on the treasure/expidition fleets yourself, when it's five ships against one, it is nigh immpossible to sink even one of the convoy ships just with your ship alone.

7. (tieing in to # 3) It is very important to find a quite spot, when repairing, not just one with light sloops, galleons and frigates, there CANNOT be any enemy vessels nearby.

8. and lastly, I CANNOT stress this enough, it is VERY important that you give the vessel a FULL REPAIR. Doing so will lessen the damage that you take on the sides of the ship, which will help out alot.
