This ship can no longer be crafted from the Shipwright.

Summary[]

"The Astraeus's massive guns will make any enemy think twice before attacking." - Shipwright Summary

Named after the greek god of dusk and winds, the Astraeus is a level ten ship known for her giant broadside, decent hull strength, and poor maneuverability.

Ship Characteristics[]

A great use for the Astraeus is as a flagship. Her unholy armament and high health pool mean that with minimal support from allies it can devastate anyone foolish enough to get in its way, though this ship can be countered by ships of greater speed such as the Marauder or Stiletto. The Astraeus does have one trick up its sleeves, stern cannons.

The Astraeus performs well with its massive armament which will scare almost anyone away. Due to its size and mobility, it is not a great chaser ship and is better used to defend and attack land targets. It does best as part of an escort with smaller, more nimble ships such as the Phoenix, Tyrant and Stiletto, similar to how modern aircraft carriers function in fleets of escorting ships. A good crew will quickly nullify any attacking force and provide great value when attacking land based targets. Despite its weaknesses, it is a formidable foe that is not to be underestimated.

Countering the Astraeus is not difficult for experienced pirates though, most likely using the Stiletto, Marauder, or Phoenix. The Astraeus's mediocre turning speed and rear cannons makes it likely to be stern locked, unless viable support is nearby or if the rear guns remain intact. Even if the rear guns remain intact they don't cause much damage, however, the higher elevation makes it easier to disarm an opponent's cannons.

Trivia[]

  • Unknown to many, the Astraeus was originally constructed by Verdantine, not Burkeland, as stated by Nahr in 2015. The new model added in October 2020 is however almost certainly Burkish.
  • The possessive of Astraeus is Astraeus', not 'Astraeus's', so that means there is a typo in the Shipwright.
  • Often referred to by players as an "Astra".
  • Ironically the open deck is a feature in cargo ships, making it easier to load cargo and carry more. Considering the Atlas has a closed deck the two models should be swapped. The open deck of the Astraeus makes the gunners way more vulnerable to boarders than the Atlas' gunners, who have a roof over their heads. Yet the open deck has its advantages, the gunners could get to the cannons quicker if they are not already on, this also goes with not needing the narrow staircase as the Atlas.
  • The bow mortars of the ship are not to be messed with. It has great range and can deal a lot of damage to ships and fortifications as seen during the siege of St. Christopher Fort.
