Beginner's Guide to Battle Pirates Part 3

        What to build on a ship and campaigns

Now here is one of the most important aspects towards this game, building ships. 

https://www.dahippo.com/bp/ship/ is a great online ship builder, also on mobile 

Gunboats and Campaign 

Campaign are a type of mission where you have to destroy a set number of targets in a set time limit. The first campaign that is open is called "down the barrel". I am gonna build a few dozen gunboats using this build below to complete it.

Now that I have the gunboats, I'm gonna open up the campaign and attack. To do so, open the campaign icon and click on "down the barrel". Hit activate, then go to your dock and launch your fleet outside. There should be a tower next to your base.

Now just click on the tower and hit attack. The first attack has three ships, but they dont have any weapons on them. The second attack has three ships, this time with mortars. The best strategy is to keep your ships moving to avoid the mortar fire. 

See the lines going across the screen? Those lines indicate where my ships are heading, just click on the screen to change where. 

The third one has four ships, all with mortars again. I found it best to try and keep my ships as close as possible to the enemy ships, as their mortars can't fire back on themselves. 

Finishing this campaign will score you the D30-N, a Drac version of the Thud cannon. 

With better damage, and accuracy the D30-N provides a good alternative to the Thud cannon. 

You can replay this campaign two more times to get the D1-C armor and the Battle Barge A 

The Battle Barge A is an upgraded version to the Battle Barge, with bonus to cargo, armor and speed. D1-C armor provides ballistic defense to the ship.
