Age of Pirates

Repair ship
To repair the currently selected ship, click here.
(If the button is greyed-out, no repairs are
necessary). In the window that opens, use the
arrows to determine how much damage should
be repaired, or hold the “Shift” key on your
keyboard to jump straight to 100%.
Upgrade ship
You can upgrade your ship with thicker hulls,
better quality sails, and more powerful cannons.
Use the “Hull”, “Sails” and “Cannons” tabs to
flick between the three and select the desired upgrade for each. Two levels of
upgrade from the base material are possible for each area, as follows:
Hulls: Wooden – Standard.
• Copper-plated – Increases hit points by 5 %, reduces maximum speed and
manoeuvrability by 5 %.
• Bronze-plated – Increases hit points by 10 %, reduces maximum speed and
manoeuvrability by 10 %.
Sails: Canvas – Standard.
• Cotton – Increases speed and manoeuvrability by 2.5 %, but increases
damage received by 5 %.
• Silk – Increases speed and manoeuvrability by 5 %, but increases damage
received by 10 %.
Cannons: Copper – Standard.
• Bronze – Reduces the chance mishaps and cannon explosions by 20 %.
• Iron – Reduces the chance of mishaps and cannon explosions by 40 %.
Furthermore, there are two types of armament for your ships:
• Cannons – Cause more damage, but are short range and have long
reloading times.
• Culverins – Cause less damage, but have a faster fire rate and shorter
reloading times.
You can't equip a ship with weapons of greater calibre than that class of ship
normally allows. To check the maximum allowable calibre of a ship, right-click
it's name in the ship list. To upgrade an area, click it with your mouse and then
hit the “Change” button. If it's greyed-out, then that upgrade has already been
fitted. When you've finally finished fitting, or to quit the upgrade window
without making any changes, click “Exit”.
