The main problem i am finding is cost. so if i do start battling, it would probably be with a used ship. BUT.... I do not know what to do! how do i buy a used ship?! and how much do used ships usually cost? I would love to know.
That’s how a lot of ppl start. Get with your local the nearest club. Guys usually have a few ships laying around they may be willing to sell or loan to new member.
Start battling with a loaner boat (usually a transport). Then ask local club members about ships. My current profile pic is the Kitakami, the ship I bought in good condition for $60. Get in contact with your club and battle, then worry about a ship. P.S. you also might be able to get one from the buy, sell and trade portion of this website.
It’s going to take $500-$1,500 to build a good ship if you start with nothing. The more guns the ship gets the more it costs. The worst thing to do is go cheap. If you go cheap you will battle less and less fun because things will not work.
