Function (Speculative):
Based on the name and materials, the La Forteresse I Blueprint likely allows you to craft a basic defensive upgrade for your ship in Skull and Bones. Here are two possible interpretations of its function:
1. Basic Ship Armor:
La Forteresse translates to "The Fortress," suggesting a focus on defense. This could be the initial tier of ship armor, providing:
Increased Durability: The teak planks, reinforced with nickel ingots, might offer additional protection against enemy cannon fire or collisions.
Improved Structure: The additional layer could strengthen the overall structure of your ship, making it more resilient to damage.
Limited Protection: Being the first tier, La Forteresse I might offer a modest improvement in defense. Higher tiers might provide stronger or more specialized armor.
2. Fortification for Specific Areas:
La Forteresse could also refer to fortifications for specific vulnerable areas of your ship. This might involve:
Gun Decks: Reinforcing the areas around your cannons with a combination of wood and metal for better protection against incoming fire.
Powder Magazine: Adding an extra layer of protection around the area where gunpowder is stored to minimize the risk of explosions from enemy fire.
Material Analysis:
Teak Plank: A strong and water-resistant wood commonly used in shipbuilding, offering a solid base for the armor.
Nickel Ingot: Nickel is a strong metal known for its resistance to corrosion. It could be used to create plates or fittings that reinforce the wooden base.
Fine Sisal: Strong fibers could be used for padding or filler material between the wooden planks and metal reinforcements, potentially improving shock absorption.
Benefits of La Forteresse I:
Increased survivability in battles by offering some protection from enemy attacks.
Improved ship integrity, allowing you to withstand more damage before succumbing to enemy fire.
