SAILING Sailing
These parameters determine how your ship sails.

Max Speed: Maximum Speed
How fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed.
Acceleration: Acceleration
Determines how fast the ship gains speed.
Deceleration: Deceleration
Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly.
Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate
The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed.
Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate
The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at a speed of at least 4 knots.
Turning Accel: Max Turning Acceleration
This shows how fast a ship accelerates into a turn. The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate.
Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration
Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better.
Best Point: Best Point
The wind angle at which the ship can attain its maximum speed. The wind comes from angle 0^o, and angle 180^o is running with the wind at your back.

SHIP

Capacity: Capacity
How many units of cargo the ship can hold.
O.S. Visibility: Open Sea Visibility
How far away other ships will spot you on the open sea.
O.S. Spotting: Open Sea Spotting
Increases your spotting range, allowing you to detect ships beyond their O.S. Visibility.
Crew: Crew
The maximum number of crew on your ship. Shows the fighting strength of your crew.
Target Tracking: Target Tracking
Reduces the accuracy penalties you suffer due to your movement and your target's movement. Improves your chance to hit fast moving ships.

DURABILITY: Durability
The number of ships you have left. Decreases by 1 whenever the ship is defeated in combat (with the exception of skirmish).
INSURANCE VALUE: Insurance Value
Amount of doubloons you will receive for this ship if she is sunk or scuttled.

HEALTH Health
The ship's Health stats show how much damage it can sustain.

Hull: Hull (Structure)
The internal structure of your ship. When your structure runs out, your ship sinks.
Port: Port (Left)
The ship's port armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull.
Stbd: Starboard (Right)
The ship's starboard armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull.
Bow: Bow (Front)
The ship's bow armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull.
Stern: Stern (Rear)
The ship's stern armor. Armor facings protect the ship's hull.
Sails: Sails & Masts
Shows how much damage the ship's sails and masts can sustain. Ships lose speed as they take sail damage.

Integ. Integrity
The ship's Integrity stats show how much damage it can sustain.

BATTERIES Batteries The guns on your ship are divided into batteries. Guns within a single battery are identical and are controlled as a group.	Type Quantity & Weight This shows number and size of the guns in the battery. Heavier guns do more damage, have longer range and penetrate armor better. Lighter guns reload faster and are better at dealing sustained damage against unarmored targets.		Reload Reload The time it takes to reload the entire battery of guns, in seconds.	Damage Maximum Damage This shows how much damage each cannon can do at minimum range using heavy round shot. Damage gradually decreases as your target gets farther away.	Range Maximum Range This shows how far the cannons can fire heavy round shot. Other ammo types modify this range.	Acc Accuracy This shows the cannon's percentage chance to hit a standard target at 200 or 400 yards away. The chance to hit is increased based on target size, and decreases based on movement.	200 / 400 Accuracy This shows the cannon's percentage chance to hit a standard target at 200 or 400 yards away. The chance to hit is increased based on target size, and decreases based on movement.
Swivels: Swivel guns fire anti-personnel shot, spraying enemy decks with a lethal cloud of musket-balls.	6x	1/2lb	8.0s	7.0	100y		-- / --

Strategy and Use

The 'Defiant' Stripped Frigate is the best large cargo ship available to non-freetrader characters. Its above average crew size and large cargo hold can make it a cheap but vulnerable commerce raider for attacking large, lightly armed merchants.

Tactics

The 'Defiant' Stripped Frigate is unarmed except for swivel guns. If engaged, it must either quickly board its opponent or attempt to run from battle. In general, the 'Defiant' Stripped should avoid combat.

Distinguishing Characteristics

The 'Defiant' Stripped Frigate is the largest capacity ship available to non-freetrader players.

-Akella based the 'Defiant' on a kit model of ''HMS Unicorn'' (28 guns). While the kit claims to represent a frigate built by Fredrik Henrik af Chapman and launched in 1700, several facts make that impossible, not the least of which are that Chapman was not born until 1721 and the first frigate bearing the name Unicorn did not enter service until 1748. It is this ''HMS Unicorn'' that the in game and Corel models actually represent.

-''HMS Unicorn'' was a 28-gun, Sixth Rate frigate of the Royal Navy. Originally ordered as a 24 gun ship to the draft of the French privateer ''Tyger''. The third vessel of the Royal Navy to bear the name, the ''Unicorn'', as well as the ''Lyme'' which was a near-sister, were the first true frigates built for the Royal Navy. They were actually completed with 28 guns including the four smaller weapons on the quarterdeck, but the latter were not included in the ship's official establishment until 22 September 1756. The two ships differed in detail, the ''Unicorn'' having a beakhead bow, a unicorn figurehead , two-light quarter galleries and only five pairs of quarterdeck gunports, while the Lyme had a round bow, a lion figurehead, three-light quarter galleries and six pairs of quarterdeck gunports.

-The ''Unicorn'' was first commissioned in March 1749 under Captain Molyneaux Shuldham, under whose command she spent her first commission in the Mediterranean until returning home to pay off at Deptford in June 1752. After repairs, she was recommissioned in January 1753 under Captain Matthew Buckle, and sailed for the Mediterranean again in April 1753. In February 1756 command passed to Captain James Galbraith, then in that September to Captain John Rawling. After active and continuous service during the Seven Years War, she finally paid off in late 1763, and was broken up in 1771.
