I can not lie, that I have desired to know this of certain ships that I have attacked. I am assuming there are some that would like to know some of my ship set ups as well.

However, I must (-1) this card as there needs to be some element of surprise in attacks. Ship Traits did change the mechanics of battle when they came out. This change was not huge or drastic, but it added an element of chance that was lacking.

Is the fleet with 3 prize ships guarded by 1 or 2 ships with Levi Protection? Will my Call Leviathan trait activate and turn the tide of this battle? Is Fireship worth the extra damage?

These items and more need to remain a secret to the owner of the ships.

If you want to (vaguely) know the set of someone's ship, attack it with similar ships. Cast a spy, and set up a fleet that is identical and hit it. Looks that battle report. See if Call Levi or Fireship was used. Dig deep on that report and it will tell you what you seek (for the most part).

Why do you need this?

Attribute Count can be somewhat guessed & ship traits of a ship can be found out very easily. Attribute distribution everyone has their own style; why would you want to copy someone!

Say it aint so!
