Corsair Cove Captains Guide
Captains connect the settlement's people to its fleet. Evaluate each captain against the ship and task shown in your current game version rather than searching for one universal tier list.
Read the current captain details
Captain effects and availability can be balance-sensitive. Use the in-game description as the source of truth for exact bonuses, conditions and unlock state.
Assign for the next objective
The useful question is not only which captain is strongest, but which assignment supports the next voyage or fleet role. Compare the objective, ship and settlement cost together.
Avoid unsupported tier lists
A tier list without a named patch, test method and objective can be misleading. This site will add detailed captain records only when their source and version can be retained.
