A custom-built Lexington made with superior craftsmanship and materials. She has more guns, heavier guns and more armor than a standard Lexington.

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 auxiliary 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 (and later on 'Lexington' Mastercraft Brig). A bonus is that this vessel has stern chasers, unlike the 'Curieuse' Snow. 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 level 27 you can take down lone level 42 NPC's with just an emergency repair and a hull patch. The best way to use it is to go straight at the enemy ship forcing it to turn to its broad side and then blasting away with heavy or bronze round shot.

Variants

Other variants of the Lexington:

Capture: Locations and Missions

Location: Between Jacob's Clock and Golden Lake
They appear approximately every 1/2 hour.

'Locust' Corvette and variants

Distinguishing Characteristics

The Mastercraft Lexington is a bit faster when close hauling, features bigger guns, faster reload and more armor when compared to the 'Lexington' Brig.
