Yeah hi, chasing definite, whole and truthful answers on the difference between 'Planking' and 'Build Strength' when building or buying a ship. Some actual numbers would be fantastic if possible.
So I've researched and apparently one source says that Planking increases the size (thickness) of the armor and decreases the amount and severity of leaks while another states that it only provides leak protection. (my personal research finds the latter to be true) Where as 'Build Strength' provides increased "Structure HP" (there is a difference - one gives a figure of eg. Santisima, Structure - 11400 next it is Armour - 75) only and does not increase the armor thickness in anyway but at a cost to speed.
I'm looking for answers because I want my ship to be strong no matter the cost and if Planking does provide Armor Thickness rather then Structure HP at an equal cost to Build Strength then I personally would choose Armor over HP.
Please Respond to this.
