76561197969631737: Started with overview, objectives, choice cards, and dice pool

2026-07-29T03:07:16Z

Started with overview, objectives, choice cards, and dice pool

New page

[[File:Ship battle.png|center|1200px]]
== Overview ==

[[File:Crown port event.png|thumb|256px|Plundering this Crown Port recommends a Tier 2 Destroyer-class ship.]]
Events are where captains and their opponents take turns attacking, defending, sneaking, looting, and shouting insults at each other.

Captain win the event by completing the '''objectives.''' Every type of event is different, but there are some important patterns that winning captains recognize. The stats of the captain's ship determines the baseline chances of winning, so each event recommends both a ship class and tier. For example, attacking a Crown Port recommends a Tier 2 Destroyer-class ship, because the stats that matter most in that event are {{Gun damage}} and {{Armour}}.

Not shown until the event starts is what the specific objectives of the event are. Each objective has a clearly defined goal, and the captain is given several choices to counter the opponent in order to win.

Losing the event, by taking too much damage to {{Health}} or {{Crew}} during an objective, results in the loss of the ship.

== Objectives ==

[[File:Objectives during an event.png|thumb|256px|This event has three stages: Chart, Survive, Investigate.]]
Events have between one and four objectives representing stages of the story of the event. For example, a landing party might search for clues, survive an ambush, and then investigate what the attackers were guarding. This might take the form of the '''Chart,''' '''Survive,''' and '''Investigate''' objectives.

Some objectives are similar in purpose but have different names depending on their setting, and the choices given to the captain vary. The following are some of the objectives captains encounter during events:
* Ambush
* Barter
* Board
* Chart
* Chase
* Defend
* Demoralise
* Destroy
* Duel
* Endure
* Investigate
* Navigate
* Outrun
* Parley
* Plunder
* Shoot
* Sneak
* Threaten
* Traverse

=== Choice cards ===

[[File:Cards during an objective.png|thumb|256px|Six choices for each turn during a chasing objective]]
Each stage, the captain gets a handful of choices, shown on cards, most of which depend heavily on the ship's stats and, to a lesser degree, chance of dice rolls.

The variety of effects on the choice cards is wide, since many cards have two effects. Captains will recognize the same cards appearing during similar objectives. For example, the choice of ''Windfall'' appears as the first card in the set during many '''Defend''' and '''Endure''' objectives, alongside two other blue cards, one that prevents damage done to {{Health}} and the other that prevents damage done to {{Crew}}.

The names of the choices follow the story of the objective and the event. For example, during a '''Sneak''' objective, a choice might be called ''Quick & Quiet,'' but the choice with the same effect might be called ''Keep Moving'' during a '''Traverse''' objective.

The numbers shown on the card, for example, damage, are determined by the related ship's stat and a roll of the dice pool.

=== Stats and dice pool ===

[[File:Keep Moving choice card.png|thumb|256px|The effectiveness of the choice to ''Keep Moving'' depends on Manoeuvrability and dice.]]
The baseline effectiveness of a choice is set by the ship's related stat. The stat to which the choice is related is determined by the event's story and the objective. For example, sometimes offense depends on {{Gun damage}}, other times it depends on {{Boarding damage}}.

In addition to the baseline stat, rolling the dice can add a significant margin to the effect. This is because captains can make choices to gain additional dice to their dice rolls during the objective. Each turn, the number of dice the captain gets to roll that turn is called the '''Dice Pool.'''

For example, if the captain's ship has a {{Manoeuvrability}} of 4 and she typically gets to add a 4-sided die, if she can first choose ''Heads Down'' before choosing ''Keep Moving,'' then instead of one 4-sided dice, she gets to roll two 4-sided dice. This means ''Keep Moving'' can gain 600–1200m distance.

These interactions, and the risk–reward decisions to counter the opponent or double-down ensure captains almost never experience the same event twice.

=== Progression of dice pool range ===

The range of the dice results depends on the tier of the ship. Higher tier ships get to roll dice with more sides, increasing the variance of the results. This allows the impact of dice rolls to scale up with the base stats, some of which increase dramatically with each ship tier.
