Advanced - Ship Speed

[Captain Jack]

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

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

[Shaydo]

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

[Random pandah]

or just ignore it and guess

[Roileon]

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
