Preface

"I take it ye've enlisted?" Asked a scruffy, dirt covered man. He seemed to have lost a sock. "Well, mighty brave of you, child. Which ship did you choose?" ... "What, you don't know?!" He looked at you and shook his head. Peculiarly, he leaned out your computer screen and took a good look at you. "Well, you're certainly suited for the task. C'mere and I'll get you acquainted."

The Ships

As mentioned in the Useful Information, there are three ships: The Black Pearl, The Flying Dutchman, and The HMR Dauntless (Steered by Pirates, stolen from the British). Depending on which Ship you board, there are various pros and cons.

The Black Pearl: The most coveted Ship in all of the Caribbeans. They ARE recruiting, and you have the potential.

  • Your emblem is the Skull.
  • Your biggest enemy is: HMR Dauntless
  • In Battleship, there is a 25% chance you'll hit the Flying Dutchman, 55% chance you'll hit the HMR Dauntless, and 20% chance you'll miss.
  • In Battleship, there is a 25% chance you'll hit a 50, 55% chance you'll hit a 25, and 20% chance you will deal no damage.
  • Summary: Mastering Skull decks benefit you the most. You have a low chance of success (combine 20% miss, and then a 20% no damage delt even if you do manage to hit).

The Flying Dutchman: The most feared ship in all of the Caribbeans. They ARE recruiting, and you have the potential.

  • Your emblem is the Heart.
  • Your biggest enemy is: HMR Dauntless
  • In Battleship, there is a 25% chance you'll hit the Black Pearl, 55% chance you'll hit the HMR Dauntless, and 20% chance you'll miss.
  • In Battleship, there is a 25% chance you'll hit a 50, 55% chance you'll hit a 25, and 20% chance you will deal no damage.
  • Summary: Mastering Heart decks benefit you the most. You have a low chance of success (combine 20% miss, and then a 20% no damage delt even if you do manage to hit).

The HMR Dauntless: The most powerful ship in all of the Caribbeans. They ARE recruiting, and you have the potential.

  • You do NOT have an emblem. Because your emblem is not allied with either the Skull or the Heart, you benefit equally from both.
  • Your biggest enemies are: The Black Pearl and The Flying Dutchman
  • In Battleship, there is a 40% chance you'll hit the Black Pearl, 40% chance you'll hit the HMR Dauntless, and 10% chance you'll miss.
  • In Battleship, there is a 40% chance you'll hit a 50, 40% chance you'll hit a 25, and 10% chance you will deal no damage.
  • Summary: You benefit equally from mastering a Skull deck or Heart deck. You have a high chance of success (combine 90% of success, and then a 40% chance you hit for a maximum).

The Rewards [Deck Mastery]

One thing the Ship you board directly impact is the reward for Deck Mastery. On the upper left hand corner of every card, there is either a Skull or Heart emblem. When Mastering a Deck, depending on whether it's a Skull or Heart, your rewards will be different.
