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.

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).
