The ships in Bounty Bay Online are modelled after real ships from the 14th to 16th century. We have paid great attention to the detail of these models, so that every ship's features and properties resemble those of the originals. That means that it is difficult to turn a merchant ship into a good battleship or have a warship carry as much cargo as a merchant ship. Both of the forementioned ship types won´t ever be as fast as an explorer ship.
Basically there are three ship types in Bounty Bay Online:

Ship Classes

The Explorer Class
Has average cargo capacity and armament. However, it is the fastest ship class in Bounty Bay Online.

The Merchant Class
Has by far the largest capacity for goods of any kind. Disadvantages include weak armament, weak hull and sails that are very vulnerable against enemy fire and the slowest travel speed of the 3 ship classes.

The Warship Class
Has the greatest firepower of all ship classes as well as the strongest hull and sails, thus making these ships the masters of the seas. Because of the large size and heavy armament, warships are quite slow and not very agile. Additionally, the cargo capacity is relatively small and they cannot hold as many sailors or as much food or ammunition.

The player can choose which of the three ship classes he/she would like to use in Bounty Bay Online and if he/she can´t choose then he/she can always own more than one ship. The only restriction in Bounty Bay Online is that you can command only one ship at any given time. Non-"active" ships are kept at the drydock in port as long as they aren´t being used.
