Naval Combat: Ruling the High Seas of Verra

The Open Ocean

The seas of Verra are not just empty space between continents; they are a dangerous, lucrative biome filled with raids, treasure, and massive PvP battles.

Ship Classes

1. Galleon: The heavy tank of the sea. massive firepower, slow movement. Requires a large crew.
2. Caravel: The fast trade ship. Designed for speed and cargo capacity. Poorly armed.
3. Gunboat: Quick, agile attacker. Good for swarming larger vessels.

Mechanics

• Wind & Current: You cannot just sail in a straight line. You must tack against the wind and utilize currents to gain speed.
• Boarding: When ships get close, players can grapple across. The battle changes from ship-to-ship cannon fire to hand-to-hand deck combat.
• Sinking: When a ship sinks, it drops a portion of its cargo. This makes naval caravan raiding a highly profitable profession.

The Risks

The ocean is home to Raid Bosses (Krakens, Leviathans) that require an entire fleet to take down. Do not sail alone unless you have a death wish.
