how to capture ships in the pirate caribbean hunt

But they're just a pain in the ass to maintain. After getting three other 1st rate ships, I finally got my dream fleet of 1st rates. Anyways, twas a sad moment leaving those galleons behind.

If you don't have enough men, be prepared to leave one, two, or even all your ships behind for these babies. Get them all fully upgraded with full number of men, or else risk sinking them for naught. Reminder to those who want 1st rates, don't aim for them if you got ketches only, get bigger ships first like frigates, galleons, or corvettes before going for the big boys. When I capture my first 1st rate, I had to leave two of my fully upgraded galleons behind, due to lacking number of men needed to capture the damn thing. Also no cheats, or mods, or whatever crap people use to get by the game easy. But even if this guide seems coming from someone who plays countless hours of this game, I assure you, I just played this game for 32 hours in the span of a month, meaning I play 8 hours a week on average or like 2 hours a day. I'm just a casual gamer, meaning I still do my day to day activities, not just playing this game.

Some Civil ships (such as Xebec, Barque, Barquentine, Flute) can be captured earlier, in special random mission 'Slave ships' (green icon on map, unlocked after purchase of Map of Windward Islands). you can immediately (even at beginning of game) chase enemy tiny Sloops with your huge HMS Victory if you want :-)

Premium ships can be bought for real money at any time, so e.g. Be warned that more unlocked maps means increased difficulty of enemies! The best ships will be spawned if you discover Panama Coast (discovering remaining regions doesn’t affect the ship spawning). If you own more maps there is more probability that better ship will be spawned. Ships (which you can encounter in the open world), blueprints and treasure maps depends on how many maps you own.
