Hi Sailors.

One question, If I´m playing like naval officer, How I get better ships, I must Buy it? or the Admirality will give me a new ship?

That one.
When you gain a promotion, you'll get a new ship.
Maybe an extra officer and/or a sword too.

Also when you become a Commodore you will be able to switch ships and use Prize ships as your own.

Only prize ship? Not from the dockyards?

At rank Commodore or higher, you should slso be able to buy ships. Whether the dockyard has anything you like is another matter. You might be allowed to buy a frigate but only the largest dockyards will have one, and even they won't always have one in stock.

And don't forget that your own ship may be replaced at your next promotion.

For Britain, probably Port Royale or Kingston - same place, different name depending on period.
