Here is how Ship Speed is determined:

Code: Select all

Base Ship Speed = Base Ship Speed + ( Base Ship Speed * 3 * Cotton Sails / 100 )
Ship speed = Base Ship Speed * ((Current Crew / Max Crew) + 1) / 2
Final Ship Speed = Ship Speed + (Ship Speed * Double Hammocks / 100)


Any Voodoo Affects are added as described in their respective threads (example: Control the Skies

High speed= (Jesus + food) * current crew/100+ base ship speed

Using this formula, a friend calculated a howker base speed of 0.845

I have just tried the same thing and got a base speed of 0.84

Have base speeds been adjusted recently, or new factors added?

Can you do the same calculation again ? It might have been a rounding issue. We fixed a subcase on the formula, just in case it was the one to blame. For verification purposes, Howker base speed is 21. Just try with max crew.

P.S: Welcome to the forums

Based on that I've got a working journey calculator again. Thank you

Base Ship Speed = Base Ship Speed + ( Base Ship Speed * 3 * Cotton Sails / 100 )


how do i know the base ship speed

You have to work this out on your own. Or get it from someone that already did it

Or work out a complete different way of doing it and come up with your own equations that work near enough the same way .

or just ignore it and guess

The closest you can get the what the base ship speed, if you do the math, is 0. And I'm pretty sure, I'm right to degrees
