"What role are you?" Solo sloopers: Yes.

You forgot the Bard, does nothing but play music and fish on the bow before leaving after any sort of combat starts.

My setup Friend 1- Panics Friend 2- Panics Friend 3- Panics Friend 4- Takes the blame

"What role are you ?" Solo slooper :"turns out..... *I'm all of them* "

Bilge, I'm forever in the dungeon, haven't seen daylight in years

i have never heard any of these names for the roles before. my crew uses captian, repairs, lookout and "do fucking something you cant not help rn"

Literal terms; Helmsman -> Capitan Main Cannon -> Powder monkey Bilge -> Bosen Flex -> First mate

I want to see an entire galleon full of solo sloop mains get together with no mic communication and watch the chaos ensue!

I have to do it all while my entire team just tries to board the enemy

Playing solo sloop “With all 6 stones, I could simply snap my fingers”

"What Role Are You?" Solo Sloopers:"Yes"

"What role are you?" Me: all of the above

As a solo sloop I am in constant pain

Co-ordination is key. So far in my 100-ish hours of SoT I've been playing the helm when pairing up with frineds.

For sloops, main cannon functions as the main PvPer, and helm functions as helm as well as bilge.

I mainly play on sloop with a buddy and my job is repairs buckets steers while my buddy uses cannons and fights

The ship is the ammunition boys. RAMMING SPEED!!!

My crew before we enter combat Me- main cannon Friend 1-helmsman Friend 2- boarder/ bilge My crew during combat Me- helmsman/main cannon/ bilge Friend 1 - boarder Friend 2- boarder 🙃

I am straight up Helmsman with a slick side of canonneering. I can sail a boat and iron an enemy. My OCD when driving is off the charts and my Archery skills comes in to play with targeting. I however will help bucket if nesscary. I end up being the Captain nearly 100% of the time. I'm teaching a friend how to properly steer a ship, at best yet adorkably cute, they end up creating a wavy line. XD They let me take over if they need me to get the crew to the destination faster.

Helmsman, we organize our ship a bit differently so my job involves directing the crew mainly, alongside the role of steering

I’ve spent like a year on main cannons and my aim has gotten so good it’s all I do and no one can get me off the cannons. I also like using harpoons during naval combat to avoid rams or to keep a close tail on the enemy

Typically flex’s also will board other ships. This is extremely important, as a good board is what can, by itself, decide a battle.

As a helmsman my crew never resets were in 24/7 and y’all better get them buckets asap 😂

Always been a helmsman, at first I hated it and was forced into it to fill the spot for my friends, but I’ve come to really enjoy it as I’ve gotten better and it is super fun now

I’m the rare type that actually prefers and enjoys being a helmsmen

My crew operates on a "Chaotic Cluster Fuck" or CCF rule of immediate anti-fun measures. Basically we scatter like roaches at the first sign of trouble, grabbing treasure and jumping overboard or launching ourselves out with cannons and let the boat sail itself while the enemy players persue it. Sometimes we even set it on fire. Its not very productive, but the satisfaction of knowing some dumb players literally will chase an empty ship all the way to the red sea gives us great joy. Sometimes we even can swim to an island with our treasure! We can't wait for safer seas lol. The worst part of this game is the other players.

I’ve only played with one person on a sloop together since I’ve only played for a few days now, they are a pirate legend so they usually do cannons and attacks while I repair, but we found that I’m actually really good as a helmsman as well

“What role are you?” I’m the babysitter making sure my new to the game friends learn the ropes without getting bullied like I did by high level players 😅

as a “bilge” my life is B U C K E T and W O O D

I captain and do the sails while fighting the enemy (my teammate plays music lights fireworks and repairs the ship)

When I’m playing with my buddy in a sloop, I’m the helmsman and also repairs above. He’ll shoot & repair below, with occasionally boarding. It’s a pretty good system we have. We do , however, constantly have ships chasing us because of our Reaper flag.

In all of them...I never have anyone to play with so-

what about the trusty fisherman!

I’m the local helmsmen. But sometimes when it’s not my ship, I’m mostly the flex.

I lucked out during the ps5 beta. The first crew member i got was a fresh noob like myself and we got slaughtered doing the skull quest. Second crew member i got was an absolute pro that didnt miss canon shots. We took out an incoming galleon. We yelled out orders to me and i followed the best i could steering the ship for him to pop off shots. He hit the 2 mast shots then bombarded their port side and i rammed them while he boarded. 2 of their crew were taken out with cannon shots and he jumped off our sloop onto their boot and anchored them and killed the remaining crew members while we sank them. This all happened just a couple hundred metres off the shore of the island we had to return the skull. While my crew mate collected all the loot i ran the skull back for our 50k gold and we made another 90k in stolen loot because those guys were loaded. I stuck with that guy for about four hours and tried to learn as much as i can. Really enjoyed the beta and looking forward to early launch!

As a solo obviously a flex, however I’d say the best way for roles on a duo sloop is the cannoneer and repairman occasionally and also sometimes helms when the other the main helmsman and main bilge and the other help the main bilge in dire situations and steers when needed so they can still fire and on a brig the 3 main roles are easily designated with helms possibly help repairing when needed

The ony thing I do is music, I do music to cheer up every one in the ship and make them work hard.

Just started the game a week ago with some other friends who have been playing for a long while. I've been forced to be a helmsman or a flex, depends on how many people we have on a sloop

I usually play helmsman but really do love playing cannon or boarding.

Man i wish i had this game but it is expensive and looks like it need a good pc

Helmsman and boarder. My mate is the main cannoneer and helmsman when I'm boarding. But the ship is mostly in the right position or course when I board the enemy.

Me and my mates are a team of four. I am usually behind the wheel. One is taking care of the sails, repair ship, shoot, getting the water out. The other two, they are drunk.

Cannon crew priority is mast, wheel, then hull and occasional peppercorn to clear deck, bonus points for firebomb. Chances are after killing 1-2 crew last one panics and board ends the deal. This applies for sloops and brigs. Galleon is different beast since 4 men crew is hard to deal with considering firepower advantage. Best way to deal with it is resource bleedout cia hit and run or sneaky keg nuke. Best placement is middle mast middle deck.

When im not on my sloop, im usually the Flex, i combine the fixing and the firing whenever i can

I'm still fairly new to the game but I'm starting to feel that being up on the crownest with a sniper is pretty effective, usually nobody looks up for the 4th guy if you already see three, so you can line them up pretty easily (ammo crates and grenades help a lot) or drop on to their ship with a bomb or else in like 2 seconds.

When I was first playing with others I was the bilge and when I became more experienced I was able to be the helmsman. My best game as a helmsman was when I was on a brig and took down 11 enemy ships and best game as a bulge was on a gallon with two cannoners and we took down three flame hearts. We stacked.

When I still played with a friend I took care of the ship and he did the swashbuckling. Worked well, too rusty now though.

Helmsman, cannoneer and navigation are my roles usually, seems I know how to sail a ship better than my crew I usually asked to sail when in a naval fight

in most open crews this is exactly how we're set up and it's pretty fluent combat most of the time, with my own friends on the other hand, you will never see a single of them do their jobs right without blaming somebody else

I have a unique role of ship mother, basically flex but you do all the work and cook the food to keep the kids(crew) alive

My group expands on the roles. We have a quartermaster that repairs, buckets, and sorts all the resources out of combat. Our lookout keeps an eye out in the crows nest and supports others when needed. Helmsman steers the ship and snipes when possible. And the Captain shoots the cannons and boards when we are close to the enemy ship. Me, the captain of our crew, loves to board the enemy and face their own captain one on one.

Cannons, I've always been good with weapons with similar ballistics in games. Bows, grenade launchers, etc. And I'm usually the first to remember that the best way to stop your ship from taking damage is to force the enemy ship to stop shooting.

I’m the main cannon guy and I’m the helper with getting out water and help bording up the ship when we are like just about to sink

I tend to be the flex/lookout due to being good with the sniper and tend to help whenever needed.

I am almost always the helmsman but also a bit of a flex since if i can get us into a good spin with the other ship for a couple seconds i can run down and bail or repair if needed

Generally I only play solo or duo sloop, so when I duo i'm generally the main cannon. But I also do repairs a lot. Generally me and my bro got insane synch so we can literally rotate between steering, shooting, and repairing, fluidly.

We have two people on our crew, My friend, the captain, is the main cannon i am expected to steer, repair and board at the same time

“What role are you” One man Galleon: yes.

Ye be lookin at a helm, through and through

I'm the helmsman for my crew. They need a reliable captain of the ship who can maneuver defensively and strategically. I do my best to allow them to maximize their responsibilities

We run a crew of 3 to 4 usually and we've never done anything like this. We have a more symbiotic way of working on the ship, just naturally switching jobs as needed, by the time the PlayStation beta was over we could do it half the time without even calling out orders to each other and so far it's gone near perfect for every engagement with had regardless of the type of enemy

Instead of a Flex we have a “Boarder” that’s sole purpose is to do nothing until there’s a ship. Then they board the ship and use tnt to blow it up or do something cool

I was always stuck on Bilge. Never got to pvp, never got to shoot a cannon and never got to steer. I'm better at it now cuz I'm with a new group. But still I don't have enough experience. Which doesn't help the fact that Hourglass is only ever played by skilled players now, so I never get to learn anything for pvp outside of the fact that if they have the Ghost sails, it usually means I lose.

Im everything, i just started playing and im literally playing tutorial while watching this video.

I’m definitely a flex guy: not cracked at anything but has the skills to be decent at everthing

Not a solo slooper but i do repairs helm and cannons if needed i am also the one goes to board if possible

Helmsman, although on a sloop its a case of whatever is needed.

When it comes to ship combat I tend to not do any of these and just wildly jump on the enemy ship and throw knives at people until either I die horribly or i kill someone and die slightly less horribly.

My friends are jumping around being useless and usually playing the banjo while I carry

This is good for newer crews but once you get experienced and better youll start to just know when the right time to do a certain task is

I'm a flex, usually on lookout and being a shanty bard but I'll do my best to take care of any repairs or combat. Sometimes my buddy who is usually our helmsman (Captain) can be busy helping out the island digging or scrounging around so I he trusts me to take charge of the helm to move it or travel for him if he's tired or busy being at the helm on our Galleon of misfits 😂

I play the role of distraction. Just yells random stuff at the enemy which most of the time means they crash into a rock

i love flexing to whatever needs the most help at any point. if i notice someone struggling especially hard it feels really great to get them back on their feet

We have a duo sloop and we switch roles. Usually helm/bilge and cannons/flex

“What role are you” Solo galleon:😵‍💫

I tend to be a helm. I'm not the best at it, but I'm learning! On bigger ships though, especially with better helmsmen then me, I tend to be bilge or flex. But most often, I'm helming

I typically take up the helm during fight, but my cannon aim is strong enough that I man the cannons when the cannoneer is busy

I do helm an Canons but I also help the bilge or anything else whenever I can

I usually assign a helmsmam, repairs and sails. Then theres me, chilling in my captains quarters. Yes I do help if required

my friends and i just started but we sort of just rotate between the roles and do whatever we feel like at the time. I’m pretty ass at steering so i usually try to be cannon or flex

Mix between helmsmen and flex though usually I’m snips and bucket prisma fly only help our bucketier if he needs help if we take to much damage.

Dude im navigator, main cannon, bilge crows nest & also hijacker sometimes

The flex is actually the one who boards while the mc keeps the pressure with cannon fire

Flex. I absolutely do everything when needed. Mainly because I'm the one wgo bought this galleon, my hemer is busy with driving whole time, my canoneer is a trashtalker and my repairman is too blind to see holes and sometimes busy puting a pride flag thinking it's a top tier joke. But I value them as I have no other team

I mainly solo reaper sloop but if I’m ever on a team I flex because I can’t just do one role I like to do everything especially boarding, I held a brig up one time while my galleon team peppered them

I am the: my whole crew does every task chaotically cuz you know good idea 💀

I haven’t gotten the chance yet to play this lovely game, but I think I’d be a helmsman

The flex spot could also be the ship boarder instead if the team wants to play aggressive

When I'm not by myself, I'm a cannoneer. I'm turning into a crack shot with them, able to unload a full stock of cannon balls into a single target.

Primary Helm here. Full support for my cannoneers, the true heroes.

Im cannon main and my friend is helmsman. We sloop but sometimes his brother gets on and usually plays flex without knowing.

“Which one are you??” Me: (a solo slooper) “yes”

i’m usually bilge or flex in bigger crews. Sloops i’m helmsman and bilge when needed

After my years of solo slooping, I can'r help but do everything. So I guess that makes me a flex

with my friends im sort of helm flex, I tend to not use the cannons much because everyone else is obsessed with them

The navigator I tell the Hillsman where to go by looking at the map

Bro just explained the plan I try to put in place for battle but am ignored on.

I'm helm because if I'm on cannons, my crew is terrible at giving us angle. They do need to be more understanding though that I can't turn the ship on a dime if they're not helping with sails. Bigger the ship, the more time it takes the sucker to turn!

I'm usually helmsman, but occasionally our main cannon and i trade spots
