Produced by 'Couronne' Galleon (recipe) Information based on version 1.10.30.0 |
A massive galleon with a heavy arsenal of chasers and more cargo capacity than any other ship. Her broadside doesn't compete with line ships, but the chasers give her versatility. The Couronne is powerful, slow and hard to maneuver.
(This is the text as quoted in-game on the deed for a 'Couronne' Galleon. It should be noted, however, that the 'San Mateo' Trader's Galleon actually has more cargo capacity.)
History
The original, "La Couronne," was built by France in 1636 and decommissioned in 1645[1].
Strategy and Use
The Couronne is an old ship-of-the line downgraded to a heavy transport ship with half her complement of guns and men removed to make room for cargo. Despite that fact she is still a formidable ship and able to stand in the line of battle. For wealthy Freetraders the Couronne is their best ship for Port Battles until the improved 'Couronne' Mastercraft Galleon comes out in version 1.6.
Tactics
Slow acceleration and poor turning means that this ship, like other ships of the line, should be deployed in a close, well disciplined formation. Stay at extreme range (20 lbrs. have a base range of 625 yards) and pound the enemy line of battle with focused fire from the line. Avoid falling out of formation as this leaves the galleon vulnerable to being demasted and then sunk.

Attainability
The 'Couronne' Galleon requires 200k Db, 8 lineship structure3, and other minor parts to create. The total cost if everything is made by the player is around 2,865,224 (varies depending on tax situations, loot drops etc). It would take about 8 months to make everything without any external help, if all structure production is used to work solely on making this ship.
The average cost to make this ship if items are bought, based on general server prices, is 3.75 million to 4.25 million Db.
This ship must be certified before you can sail it. Certifying it can be done with 30 Royal Encomiums or 15 Magistrate's Commendations for Excellence as a Freetrader. The insurance value is 610,403.
