First Rates are the kings of the seas. No ship can compare to their sheer firepower and ability to take punishment. The poor maneuverability makes First Rates extremely vulnerable and they should never be sailed without an escort.

History

Strategy and Use

Tactics

Having extremely poor acceleration and turning statistics, the 'Invincible' First rate is best used in a line battle. The only truly useable tactic for a ship of this size is simply sailing parallel to it's opponent and slugging it out.

However, in a larger group of ships, much more creative strategies arise. If faster ships of a friendly battle group can herd an enemy ship under the guns of this ship, the results will almost surely be catastrophic for said enemy, even more so if the 'Invincible' is capable of getting in a raking broadside.

Comparable Ships

Attainability

The 'Invincible' First Rate requires 3.2 million Db, 20 lineship structures, and other minor parts to create. The total cost if everything is made by the player is around 10,110,688 (varies depending on tax situations, loot drops etc). It would take about 5 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 13 million to 14 million Db.

This ship must be certified before you can sail it. Certifying it can be done with 80 Royal Commendations as a Naval Officer.
