Windrose Ships FAQ
How many ships are in the Windrose ships database?
The database covers 14 hull entries: Brig (3), Frigate (3), Ketch (3), Royal (1), Merchant (1), Boat (1), Brigantine (1), Galeon (1). The ketch, brig, and frigate families each appear in multiple variants.
What is the difference between Blackbeard and Brethren ship variants?
Blackbeard variants use lighter construction for more cargo space, higher speed, and cheaper repairs at the cost of hull durability. Brethren variants carry sturdier hulls and can mount larger-caliber cannons, but sail slower with smaller holds and higher upkeep. Stock variants stay balanced.
How big is the gap between frigate variants?
The data makes it clear: the Brethren Frigate carries 200,000 hull health and 52 cargo slots, while the Blackbeard Frigate trades down to 110,000 health but keeps 28 cargo slots and a higher top speed. One is a warship, the other a faster hauler.
Which Windrose ship has the most cargo space?
Brethren Frigate leads the list with 52 cargo slots, followed by Frigate with 40. If hauling is your goal, compare those hulls before anything else.
What stats does each ship card include?
Hover a ship card to see max hull health, top speed in knots, cargo capacity where available, and the variant family. Small craft such as the Boat are listed too, so you can see the full progression from first paddle to frigate.
