Civilian ship deeds used to be sold by the Civilian Ship Deed Trader, until the vendor was removed.

A merchant-flavored warship, the Lexington is good at filling both combat and transportation roles. Her warship handling characteristics make her difficult to sail.

Strategy and Use

The 'Lexington' brig is a brig-of-war, heavily armed for its class of ships and capable of convoy escort duty, troop transport, blockade enforcement, conveying dignitaries or other duties. It would not stand in the line of battle but serve as an auxilary vessel to the fleet.

Tactics

The 'Lexington' brig has good all round performance for its level. Players who want a ship which can both haul cargo and be used for missions are well advised to choose the 'Lexington' brig. A bonus is that this vessel has stern chasers, unlike the 'Curieuse' Snow brig. if armed and armored correctly, in the hands of a expert sailor this ship can be a hard nut to crack. Even if you are lvl 27 you can take down lvl 42 npc's with just a emergency repair and a hull patch. even throw it only has 8 guns per side its reloading rate is quite fast so u can get more shots out. the best way to use it is to go stright at the enemy ship forceing it to turn to its broad side and then blasting away with heavy or bronze cannon balls.

Variants

'Locust' Corvette

Distinguishing Characteristics

Great all around ship for the level. 6 swivel guns make dropping enemy crew a breeze, and you have stern chasers to make kiting ships or escaping from ships much easier.
