Pirate Flagship

[Captain Jack]

Can the ship be sunk in battle, as per the plunder rules? Or is it completely unsinkable?

As long as you control your Flagship, it is unsinkable by any means (edited above).
If the controller is different, no one can save it from Davy Jones locker.

This design will allow Flagships to only be lost in battle but they will be able to reclaimed either through Tidal Wave (or shipwreck expedition later), through battle and through Ships Market. Private Marina will be the only true obstacle to be kept away from your Flagship once stolen and probably there will be an exception to this so controllers will not be able to dock them to the Marina unless they are also the owners.

Truth be told mateys! If we sort skirmish issue, we can make it stronger. If not, we can't.

Although even a frigate with 20 cannons more, can beat a helpless SoL!

Query still remains...

[Vane]

Would adding a tech that increases skirmish evasion chance be adequate enough defense to counter a speed skill on the Flagship?

I take ten of them... do you deliver?

Pfft, if it is unsinkable both through Levis and plunder, I don't need it to be strong. Why, I might just use a cutter!

78% reduction to plunder payout, and an unsinkable cutter as a tail. I could then use 4 MoWs and this ship (cutter flagship), with very little fear of having my ships stolen. And none can be completely sunk. I'll be able to use a real powerhouse! Just as long as I use few other fleets and keep a decent amount of gc in hand, this will be a real powerfleet with little danger of being stolen...

Yet all 4 MoWs would be susceptible to levi's.. hardly worth fleeting to lose 25 mill each...

Yes, it would be a sweet fleet : however, it still could be stolen if your purse was burnt to cinders... difficult, but no impossible..

Still the point is valid, so I guess the initial design of having it only protected by Leviathans is correct. Therefore reverted to it.
