Re:Full-Rigged Ship vs. Tekkhousen - 2008/12/25 20:33
Cpt,
it really depends what you want to make with your ships. The Full-rigged is better than the tekkousen for fighting (Full-rigged: 1200 cargo, 500 crew max and 150 guns max vs. Tekkousen: 1100 cargo, 300 crew max and 100 guns max), however it is much tougher to handle (Full-rigged: turing rate 50, speed rate: 55 vs Tekkousen: turn rate: 80, speed rate: 85). So if you your character or mate sailing level is above 15 and seamanship and related skills above 90, the Full-rigged will be alright. Otherwise, your travel will be painfully slow, especially in opposite winds.
Another point of comparaison is the cost (when port price rate is 100%): Full-rigged: 320,000 gold, Tekkousen 196,000 gold and the min crew: Full-rigged: 50, Tekkousen: 45
How to obtain a Tekkousen
The only port that builds it is Sakai (Japan). To get it to appear in the shipyard, you must invest in the shipyard until the industrial rate of the port reaches 1000 (about 4 or 5 times @ 50,000 gold). The hull is always 100/100. Once available, it takes 72 days for the shipyard to build it. Even though it takes a while to reach Sakai and to wait for the construction, you can make tons of money, actually tons and tons if you have a convoy of trading ships, while waiting by buying silver in Nagasaki, selling it for gold in east africa (I think Quemaline or Mombasa have it) than reselling the gold in nagasaki. This can be futher helped if you invest in these port to get them as allies of you country and by obtaining the tax-free permit from your soveirgn or at the black market.
One thing is for sure, the Tekkousen is the best all-around and, more particularly, the best trading ship you can get!!!!!
