You can only add a single skill from each improvement. So if you want two skills, you'll need to do two separate improvements on the ship.

Ming Mei

nowhere, but I have a idea. as a top investor in city,you get 5k extra development points, that is 70k development, so as top invetstorm you could improvie it 4/4, or am I terribly wrong?

DreadPirateWesley

Not being am SBer I can't confirm this but my guess is until East Asia expansion comes out you will not be able to improve this beyond 2/4.

you can do 2 mods and one original ship skill, while technically 3 mods, the boat will still only show up as being 2/4

Adding an original skill is a given on any boat, it will not count against total improvements available. This boat is still capped at 2/4, at least for another week...

Hans

u guys prolly never sailed a tea clipper..

Jafar
11-11-2012

For sure you guys never used a tea clipper, it seems the stats of a ship arent solely based on its numbers on the ship info screen, and more variables seens to come into play, so dont try to go comparing two ships of different types based on those numbers, yes i can tell ya tea clipper is really faster and more agile than big trading one, it also explains why nordic galleon can be fast in battle too even having considerably lower sail power as other canon type ship. Why? I dunno just try these ships yourself and see.....for example i used to do SEA-EU in around 48 days in a BTC with 50% boost on, now on cruise tea its time lowered to around 38-40 and with only 30% boost on and oxford III and IV for speed on. Maybe even the size and design of the ship comes into play for its final performance, no way to know for sure, so try the ships out and pick your favourite one.

Jafar
11-11-2012

You cant compare CRUISE tea clipper (adv version) with BTC... also,a s a tradeship, "better" is taking acount how much cargo can carry! not just speed. But, anyways, yes, tea clippers are slighty faster, specially because are more agile and get better acceleration. If you dont regulary do long range trading, or carry a good aide ship, tea clippers should be better.
And, yes... hull size have impact in performance, it seems that number of masts too, 3 masted ships have better accel than 5 masted ships even at same turning.

Cornelia
11-11-2012

It is tru that a Tea clipper have higer accelation than a BTC no doubt but its top speed is considerbly lower and i dear to say if you done SEA-EU in 48days in a BTC and 40 in a Tea clipper then your a piss poor captain how ever if you got the crusing ver sion of RC then dont comper it whit a trade ship, comper it whit the large clipper in stead whis btw will allso beat it by 8-10days faster easy. the Tea clipper is not a bad ship depending on what you want it for ect from carib to EU it wud be ok but long distances like EA/SEA to EU a BTC can beat it if you take in that they have same crew skill/sailing ruth and stuff

because the BTC has very limited improvement slots available to it (4 really isnt' much), you CAN improve it with a teak panel, but it takes away a slot that could be used for more WR. You could FS build it with panel then reset the boat to get a 0/4 made out of teak. I don't know what the difference would be between red pine with 2 more WR compared to a teak model, but i don't think it would be very much if any.

Sonia

This one, BTC or LMS but has lower cargo.

Hawka
04-26-2013

Best Improvement for 4/4 one

Teak panel then dismantle it ,so you can have 0/4 with Teak panelled

1st Improvement Large Gaff sail -Gunport - Antifooling paint +Traverse Rope "You will get Emergency Acceleration and better wave resistance to sail in storm"
2nd Improvement Large Latin sail-Gunport-Workshop and Painter's rope so you will get Workshop skill and better turning speed
3rd Improvement Large Square sail -Gunport- 2 Large Masts and so for 4th Improvement

So,you will get Max sails - 11wave resistance to sail in storm,11 Turn speed ,More cargo to hold

Don't forget to use assistance of R20 Shipbuilder to put your cargo at 924 Cargo space

Best wishes :)

Hawka

Junchul
04-27-2013

Gun port doesn't affect the speed at all

Misun
04-27-2013

FS parts that add crew, cannon, and/or cargo do NOT increase hull size. If you don't believe me then modify a boat with these parts and modify another of the same type of boat without using FS parts that add to those three areas. When you get to the part where you are able to modify the hull size of the boat yourself, you will see that the numbers are identical.

For that reason I do not believe they affect ship speed the way I see so many people say they do.

Sakura
04-27-2013

hull size adjustments are done considering the default cargo, not the modified cargo from parts. Parts effects are added afterwards.

But, while parts directly affects the other stats of the ships (turn, wave, armor), its logical to think that will affect hull size too. People build maritime ships reducing cargo even less than the adjustment ratios with parts and not adding gunports and says that ships are faster in battle...

Hans
04-27-2013

It is also logical to think of FS parts as something that dont' change the hull size of the boat, rather, they re-arrange the existing hull to accomodate more cannons, crew, or cargo. It has been established for some time now that parts that reduce cargo size do not speed the boat up in any appreciable or noticeable way, I do not see why cannon ports would do the same.

Again, since FS parts do not affect hull size calculations even after they have been put on (you don't change the hull size until after you say what parts you want to use), I still contend that they are not figured into actual hull size.

Hernan
04-27-2013

Im a shipbuilder (r20) and modded many nc ships for me and friends, must say that if you add parts to a ship total cargo will be affected, neverless if you add parts that reduce total cargo hull will also reduce.
I made a FCV-type ship with 230 cargo not sure about total but i sail along with clippers.

Had a FCV ship with 650 cargo and total must been over 900, lets say i couldnt move inside and outside fights. There is a difference between clippers and warships in the way you mod them but hull issiue is the same. I will not reply more on this, just want to make an input free for all to think what they want.

Sakura

You are talking about hull and cargo as if they are the same thing. They are not.

Misun
04-27-2013

Can you use parts to reduce a stat below its stated minimum? Like, this ship has 10-30 cannons. If you used parts that reduce cannons, like Special floating mines, can you reduce the minimum cannons to less than 10?

*Holds breath and waits for barrage of insults for not knowing something*

Erda

I have never tried to reduce cannons below minimum, but i do know that you CAN reduce crew below minimums. not a good thing to do btw.

Shirin
04-27-2013

Hi everyone.

Does someone know a guide about SB? I know nothing about it and want to learn what kind of improvement i can add to a ship. In that case i would like to add more cargo, and more speed without investing real money. I would like to have less sailors to sail the ship in case i am losing people.

Thank you in advance for you're help.

Emma
09-18-2013

first to improve a ship , u need special ship improve permits (SSIP) when u have SSIP , u need to have high SB rank to improvem your ship , when u have r5 SB , u can talk to the shipwright everywhere to adjust your cargo , crew , gun ports , but its just a refit , when u improve u can add Free-Style parts (FS) to make it the way u want , and u can adjust the cargo of the ship after u placed the FS parts by changing the range of the ship , lower cargo means more TS "turn speed" , higher means less , and there is penalties if u make it too low or too high cargo , the rest u should figure by yourself while grinding SB skill i guess

So this can't be improved beyond 4/4? How do people max sails? It seems you'd need two large masts for that, leaving limited room for improving WR.

Jafar
10-30-2013

this ship has huge cargo , 1k with +25 % , so its good for alts , hauling long distance , and for low lvl trader , dungeoneers , 4 mods is good enough , old traders usually have high adv lvl , they will use tea clipper instead of this slow ship

Lisa
10-30-2013

Tea clipper can take up to 3 studding sails, this one 5. Hauling long distance -> that's me. Anyway, so that's confirming you can't go beyond 4/4 I guess. Any SBer who's building and improving BTCs to address my question and tell me if it's possible to max sails with less than 2 large masts?

Theo
10-30-2013

the answer will be , yes , its very easy to get max sail with only 1 large mast , but u need to use HL instead of Workshop which is a very tought choice for traders , and also tea clipper needs only 3 sails , that makes it totally awesome~

Francine
10-30-2013

Yup, you're totally right about HL, thanks. Seems like either workshop + second large mast or HL then. Think I'll go for the workshop.

Tip - If you want to add Workshop - do not add a second Part in, that is a 1 Part mod as well (Like the Moneychest) -- The Camouflage Hold supersedes the Workshop and you get that mod.

I know some of you know this - But I did not...

It would have been much easier to add another random part to get the extra cargo .. LoL

if I want to add workshop on this BTC, I need a workshop FS part for sure.what about the other 3 slots. Do I have to leave them empty or put whatever I want?

For Workshop skill itself you don't need any other part, so you could leave all other slots empty, but you will need sail at least - because you can not make a mod without sail :)

If theres no other parts listed then you can add whatever you want to it. But considering that BTCs only has 4 slot improvements, some find it desirable just to add one ship skill (almost always EA), and fill in the rest with parts that increase Wave resistance, turning speed, etc. If you really want another ship skill you can add one on with optional ship skil, and/or try your hand with ship fusion to add one.

Its is possible to add nanban trade skill or aide cabin skill with ship fusion? If it is possible what requeriments or qualities do the material ship need to have to get any of those skills?

Is it possible to add any of those skill if the BTC already have an existent original skill?

yes DPiano you can add any ONE of those skills, since BTC can have aides cabin as OSP i would go with namban but up to you, you need a heavy material ship which has the skill (a Tarukaisen with namban for example) and it would be better if the BTC is g0.

the ship having or not an OSP does not matter for fusion, but as far as i know you can inherit only one skill.

What happens when you remove sailors from aide ship and left a few, lest that the required sailors? Does that affect you? I mean, if you ship if above of required sailors or full but you aide ships is below required sailors, it affect your sailing? Does it make you ship slower even if yours if full of sailors?

There will be a small but noticeable decrease in speed if your aide ship doesn't meet the minimum required sailor count.

it doesn't. I tested it same route same season. same cargo. same knots..

it will on players... but in aide it really doesn't

Say what you will, but me and several of my in-game friends have tested this and have noticed a difference. I noticed a 10 day decrease in time it takes to get from Asia to Europe with the "right" amount of aide ship crew than with not. So...

I have, as well. It seems strange that the rule of minimum sailors would not apply to aide ships as well.

Well you need to test same route, same way, same cargo, same season, etc but different sailor numbers. I did a small test ago but it was when NM implemented aide ships; my test was same route (5 minutes between ports) with diferent number sailors on aide ship, the result: the required sailors amount on your aide ship will afect you even if your ship if above requied sailors.

That was long ago, I dont know if it is still in effect nowadays.

Can someone do some testing and share results with us?

Ok, guys, as promised here are the results:

I tested a ships several times under controlled, frecuent ambient, I sailed it on a region with low to none chance to get a disaster at sea that may alter the result, I used autosail to use same route, same path everytime and have a precise measurement.


With sailors equal or above required number on both ships:

From Seville to Genoa: 8 Minutes
From Genoa to Seville: 9 Minutes


With sailors equal or above required on my ship but only 1 sailor on aide ship:

From Seville to Genoa: 10 Minutes
From Genoa to Seville: 11 Minutes


Well, it seems aide sailors below required # DOES affect your sailing a bit. For my tests I used my alt ship and the difference of speed is clearly noticeable, it increased sailing time aprox. 20%; maybe with other ships and different wheather and regions results may vary but everywhere you will get a speed reduction.

Sorry for bad english.

Interesting data , i also thought that the affected sailing speed was around 15%~20%

Note that as this ship can only be made in teak by the use of a teak panel there can be only 1 other part used. The teak panel has to fill the second spot. And to have EA the sail will have to be a large gaff, large latin or square are not an option. So the parts list for your requested build would be large flush hull+large gaff sail + antifouling paint + teak panel.

when you build the ship if you use the gaff sail and the antifouling paint, do you get the ea or does that have to be done as mod once it is built?

There was an update to the sb system. Now you add skills independently from mods once you have the ship in your inventory. I think the materials you need are the same for EA.
