Influence
From YPPedia
Influence is the ability of a ship to claim buoys and score points in a blockade. Each ship type has a different number of pirates needed for influence. On subscriber oceans this many pirates aboard must be subscribers. This number is not the same as the number of pirates a ship needs to effectively function in a blockade.
| Type | Min. # for Influence | Influence Diameter | Squares Influenced | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sloop | 3 | 1 | 1 | |
| Cutter | 4 | 2 | 5 | |
| Dhow | 4 | 2 | 5 | |
| Longship | 5 | 2 | 5 | |
| Baghlah | 6 | 4 | 13 |
| Merchant brig | 7 | 4 | 13 | |
| War brig | 8 | 6 | 29 | |
| Xebec | 10 | 6 | 29 |
| Merchant galleon | 13 | 6 | 29 | |
| War frigate | 17 | 8 | 49 | |
| Grand frigate | 29 | 10 | 73 | |

Patterns
If the minimum number of pirates for the ship type has been met, the ship will influence blockade flag buoys in the following pattern (verify). A ship icon indicates that any ship of that size or larger would influence the square if the ship were located where the sloop is (in the center).
