Category:Sloop

A sloop is a fore-and-aft rigged ship, normally with only one mast although larger ships with two or even three masts could also be referred to as war sloops or sloops-of-war. Historically, pirates chose sloops since they were fast enough to catch even the swiftest cargo vessels and allow for a quick getaway.

The Sloops in Pirates Online are listed as: Light Sloop, Sloop, and War Sloop.

Generally, sloops are the fastest ships; making them ideal for scouting or hit-and-run attacks. This shallow hull only allows for minimum cargo and broadside guns. It also means the vessels are lighter armored, with the thinnest armor at the sides. Even though they have low armor, they are known for being the ship of choice in Privateering.

Light Sloop
This tiny vessel is what all pirates start out with and one of only two ships allowed to Free players.



Sloop
Double the storage and crew capacity of its lighter cousin, the medium sloop also has significantly more guns.



War Sloop
The heavier version of the sloop carries a full compliment of guns, but only the cargo capacity of a standard galleon. These vessels have become a favorite of pirates who battle in privateer ship-to-ship (Ship PvP) combat.These vessels are also the best for battle because they are hard to hit and also pack some good firepower. They are the fastest vessel availible to pirates.
