extended twice to accommodate more weapons at the expense of storage space.
• The given speeds apply to empty ships. Fully loaded ships are approximately 15% slower.
Selecting Ships
Ships can be selected in several different ways.
You already know how to select ships by using the ship list and the caption bar of the sea chart
view. These ways of selection are especially useful when you don’t know where your ships are.
You can also select ships at any time by simply clicking on them – either in the city view or the
sea chart view.
Once you have selected one of your ships, the selection window will display the following
information: the ship’s name, its type, its destination (or the port it is in), its traveling speed, the
estimated duration of the current voyage, the total load and all the goods, the free capacities as
well as data concerning your crew, the weapons you have aboard, and the ship’s condition.
If you have selected a ship belonging to one of your competitors, you receive very little
information: the ship’s name, its owner and his rank, and estimated figures on the ship’s speed,
condition, crew, load and weaponry.
