Influence
From YPPedia
A sloop, a cutter, and a war brig each have different influence circles
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 | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Sloop | 3 | 1 |
|
Cutter | 4 | 2 |
|
Merchant brig | 7 | 4 |
|
War brig | 9 | 6 |
|
Merchant galleon | 13 | 6 |
|
War frigate | 15 | 8 |
|
Grand frigate | 30 | 10 |
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).
