A light, 20 gun frigate (not counting swivels) that mixes several of the strengths of warships and scouts.

Variants

Other variants of the Postillionen:

Strategy and Use

The Postillionen is a favored ship by many Captains at level 20. You can take on NPC frigates up to level 45 , but make sure you have plenty of combat and repair skills. A courageous captain can take on the Raa Mastercrafts, Myrmidons,and other frigates found sailing in the open sea.

Tactics

Compared to other ships at this level, it is slower and less maneuverable. Make sure you have the wind advantage (also known as the weather-gauge) to allow yourself maximum maneuverability which allows you to use both sides of your ship to wear down one of their sides and have repair consumables ready.

Be wary of groups of lower level fast nimble ships, it's hard to keep the heavy guns on one ship long enough to sink them and they will sail behind you, shooting through your relatively light stern armor.
