Which ship should I get?[edit]

Newly-minted PoSI and experienced players alike may have difficulty deciding what ship to get.

What does my ship say about me?
  • I can't really afford any of the other ships yet
  • I haven't decided what I want to do with my ship
  • A ship is a means to avoid swimming (although it's probably equally fast)

  • When zailing, I just want to reach my target as fast as possible — all that BDR is slowing my ship down
  • Why avoid enemy ships when you can run laps around them?
  • A ship is a means of getting from A to B in the least amount of actions

  • I can zail for days without needing to resupply, and my vessel will always be safe against Zee-Beasts
  • I'm an eccentric gentleperson willing to wrest my designs from blueprint to reality
  • A proper ship is a means to explore the entire Unterzee — not just the surface

  • I care more about the journey than the destination. Preferably a long journey. With hors d'oeuvres
  • I need as much BDR / Respectable as I can get for Paramount Presence, Khaganian Intrigue or other goals
  • I wanted the discount for
