Your name immediately reminded of the car performance brand AEM(Advanced Engine Management) that I have experience with, anyway...
On the topic, what kind of sailing do you engage in mostly on said ship? Do you go into mat runs, loot runs, both, SvS? Depending on your style of sailing and what kind of tactics you use, adjust accordingly with either protecting your hull or boosting deck and broadside capabilities. Also take into consideration the stats that the Skull n Bones mod applies in terms of armor at levels IV, V, VI accordingly.
Hope this helped, I myself wish there was a way to have a "tryout" of a certain ship upgrade at no cost to see if its a good fit and then, if satisfied, purchase from shipwright for full price.
I think offensive rigging would be good for a S&B War Frigate, if you have your fury ammo maxed out as well, You really won't need to worry about the take cover command until a Treasure Fleet or a Battle-Royale... and the occasional Corsair.
Well, for starters, yer choosing the wrong ship and upgrades...Title says it all. I never played old POTCO when it had ship customization so some input would be helpful!
Thanks!
I thought I mentioned it, but I guess not. You don't need to increase Open Fire at all for broadsides, that makes no difference. No matter what level your skills are, you can only get one broadside hit in during Open Fire, and since Open Fire levels only increase time and not power, that means an Open Fire 1 broadside is the same as an Open Fire 7 broadside.I favor the offensive rigging for The Skull and Bones because the broadsides are a bit on the weak side

War Brig with Storm Chaser upgrade and open fire sails is what you need.
You're welcome!
I hate brigs for a lot of reasons (none of them performance based), but I have a Storm Chaser War Brig. She's a demon. It's definitely not bad advice.I rarely play on my own ship for SvS (if there is anybody playing it) so I guess I'll just go with offensive rigging.
Haha, but sadly, back when I stopped playing POTCO, brigs weren't a thing so I never got to use it or fully appreciate it. I plan on a war brig for my second ship so maybe I'll use your advice for it.
It is very true that both these skills are good at lvl 1 and that there are diminishing returns on ranking them higher. The rigging upgrades are just a bonus that gives you "free" points on them, you are obliged to take them. As I said before I favor open fire for loot and mat runs and because it gives your crew more fire power and gives you a chance to use both broadsides under open fire. I favor take cover for SvS because of the more nimble ships you will encounter there.I thought I mentioned it, but I guess not.

If it's because you're having difficulty landing a full broadside during Open Fire, here's a trick - you don't need to call Open Fire before you shoot! Even if the cannonballs are not glowing, they still do extra damage if you have the Open Fire status on. What I do is I fire my broadside first (unless I'm super close), and wait to see if it's going to hit my target, and if it is I call Open Fire before the shots land.
Oh,come now, "Crash " , this is a thread about rigging upgrades to the Skull and Bones War Frigate, something that I know quite a bit about, it's not about which upgrade path one should choose. I totally love all the different upgrades and wish I could have them all.Well, for starters, yer choosing the wrong ship and upgrades...

Eric, I know yer upset at choosing the wrong warship and rigging, and I understand that completely...Oh,come now, "Crash " , this is a thread about rigging upgrades to the Skull and Bones War Frigate, something that I know quite a bit about, it's not about which upgrade path one should choose.

lol, I love your Stormchaser War Birg, though I would likely have used speed rigging for such a ship as it is a ship of extremes with a plenty powerful broadside already. Of course I have the mats to make any ship I would like and still choose to keep my Skull and Bones War Frigate. I like the look, the forward firing cannons, and the sturdiness of it. It is not a ship of extremes like your Stormchaser it is a good looking compromise and works well for its purpose as a crewing ship.Eric, I know yer upset at choosing the wrong warship and rigging, and I understand that completely...
I'm just trying to help other pirates avoid the pit falls!
LOLOL!!! (<- that means I'm joking, of course...)
Yes, your ship is tops!
