classes of ships:
class 6:
Tartan
Originally, tartans were used for fishing and trade. But later, armed with light cannons, they began to be used for patrolling coastal waters.
Barkas
A fishing boat is not the best boat for a captain who shines in high society. But if the evil rock deprived your favorite ship, this dull boat is quite suitable for a modest and quick journey between the islands.
Class 5
Barque
Bark is ideally suited for long voyages. Possessing a capacious hold and sufficient firepower, the bark is considered one of the best ships in its class. However, the full contours of the hull do not allow it to develop high speed and quickly maneuver, so the bark loses its running qualities to lighter vessels.
Sloop
Possessing good speed and maneuverability, and carrying on board a solid for its size armament, the sloop is a highly effective patrol ship, suitable for reconnaissance purposes.
Lugger
A small high-speed sailer, which many sailors, especially smugglers, appreciate for its speed and maneuverability. Despite the small size, lugery have good seaworthiness and can make long voyages.
Courier Lugger
The ship is specially built for the needs of messenger service. Amazing driving performance, a sturdy hull and rather powerful armament - guarantee reliable delivery of important dispatches and small valuable cargoes.
class 4
Trading schooner
Good running qualities of the schooner, coupled with a capacious hold and, at the same time, small draft, made it one of the most attractive merchant ships for middle-size merchants, who can not afford to buy flutes.
The military schooner
Sailors in the New World first appreciated the schooners and began to use them for military purposes. Well armed, fast and maneuverable, a military schooner is a serious threat to any merchant ship.
Barquentine
The appearance of barkentin was caused by the desire to simplify the management of a merchant ship by an inexperienced crew. As a result, straight sails on the mainmast of the barque were replaced by slanting. Thanks to mixed sailing armament, barkentin can confidently walk both full and sharp courses.
Brigantine
The legendary type of sailing ships. Fast and maneuverable, like a swallow, a brigantine is especially appreciated by pirates and adventurers of all stripes.
Brig
Brigs are widely used in the navy for intelligence purposes. High speed and maneuverability make the brig one of the most harmonious vessels. However, direct sailing armaments somewhat restricts its capabilities in the course of backwashing.
Snyava (SNOW)
Snyava, along with the brigantine, became the progenitor of the brig. Virtually in no way inferior to military brigs, having similar speed and reliability, schnyavs are valued by both traders and smugglers. These ships are so popular that you will surely meet them in any busy port of both northern Europe and the Archipelago.
Flute
The flute is good as a merchant ship, since it is difficult to find a flute in its class because of the size of the hold and the strength of the opponent's body. However, for the sake of maximum capacity, the number of guns on it is small, so it is unreasonable to use it for military purposes.
class 3
Caravel
The characteristic sailing rig of the caravel makes it easy to identify this ship from a great distance. The obsolete design makes the driving qualities of the caravel very mediocre, which does not allow it to compete on an equal footing with modern vessels, despite a sufficient number of guns.
Pinnace
Along with the flute, the pinas was widely used as a merchant ship. It is large enough and strong for long sea voyages, and the capacity of its hold allows transportation of a large amount of cargo. Due to the sharp contours of the nose, even with such a heavy body, the pinus develops a decent speed.
Karakka
Heavy tower-like superstructures on the nose and stern significantly worsen the seaworthiness of the Karakka. A few of its merits are, perhaps, only a sturdy hull and a capacious hold.
Galleon
Galleon was created in the beginning of the 16th century on the basis of the Karakka and from the very beginning it was designed as a battle ship. By the middle of the 17th century, the galleon reached its peak in its development and passed the baton to more perfect courts, but has not yet stepped down from the stage and continues to serve the sailors by faith and truth.
Corvette
Corvettes are designed for reconnaissance, messenger service and cruising operations. Possessing good speed and maneuverability, the corvette is able to catch up with lighter vessels and successfully evade the battle with heavier ones.
Xebec
The most famous type of Mediterranean ship. Thanks to the narrow body and the large Latin sails on all masts, the shebek develops a very high speed in the backwind, but with a tailwind it does not go so confidently. For speed and good maneuverability shebeki are very loved by fearless corsairs, ready to accept the inevitable risk.
Polakr
The closest relative is Shebeki. In contrast, it carries direct sails on the mainmast, which allows him to walk confidently with the tailwind. But this complication of rigging somewhat reduces its maneuverability, worsens the course in the backwind and significantly increases the requirements for the crew's skills and the coherence of his work.
class 2
Navio
Only a wealthy trader can afford to own such a ship. A large solid body, a capacious hold and advanced sailing arms give this vessel the opportunity to make the longest flights, and not less than three dozen large guns provide it with reliable protection against pirates and privateers
East India merchant ship
The ship embodied the best qualities of flutes and pinnaces. They are used for long voyages as part of guarded convoys. However, some of them are large and so well armed that they can venture on a single voyage.
Heavy Galleon
This is a powerful military ship, designed to protect caravans and the self-carriage of particularly valuable cargoes. It has not the best driving qualities, but large caliber guns, rugged body and a large team provide reliable protection for any cargo.
Frigate
High frigates and high firepower frigates are intended for long-range reconnaissance, convoying transports and combat operations in conjunction with ships and other vessels, as well as for cruising on enemy communications to capture or destroy its merchant ships.
Heavy frigate
They were specially created to guard large convoys. Very little inferior to the firepower and strength of the hull to ships of the 4th rank, they outperform them in their driving qualities, which makes these frigates a formidable weapon in the hands of an experienced captain.
Class 1
Warship
A ship of the 4th rank can not compete in firepower with its older brethren, so putting them in the battle line is not reasonable. Their best destination is guarding convoys, because due to their speed and maneuverability they perform this task most effectively.
Battleship
The ships of this type were built in the time of Cardinal Richelieu and by our time are structurally outdated. But they possess good driving qualities and at the same time are able to carry the heaviest guns, therefore they represent a formidable force.
Battleship
The ship of the third rank is a very numerous and most balanced in combat qualities ships destined for battle in the line. They have enough firepower to challenge even 100-cannon leviathans. At the same time, they significantly exceed them in speed and maneuverability.
Battleship
A ship of the second rank is the basis of the sea power of any power. Together with ships of the 3rd rank, they constitute a fleet that combines force with maneuver. And in the absence of ships of the 1st rank in the squadron, some of them act as flagships.
Battleship
A ship of the 1st rank is a real floating fortress. Thanks to the terrible firepower, he can send several exact volleys to the bottom of any opponent. But even the great maritime powers do not have a large number of such ships, and they are used as flagships in general sea battles.
