This ship can no longer be crafted from the Shipwright.


Summary[]

"A huge ship with the highest cargo capacity in the game. The amount of cargo that can be carried more than makes up for its average speed." - Shipwright Summary

The Atlas is a level ten mercantile ship with a decent amount of health. The Atlas holds 18 Cargo, and is regarded as quite slow. the Atlas holds 10 heavy cannons total, and 2 light cannons on its stern. The Atlas has a counterpart used for combat, this being the Astraeus

Ship Characteristics[]

With an update adding limited variants to this ship, this indirectly nerfs the Atlas's firepower while increasing its cargo hold, essentially giving her similar statistics as the Camel.

The Atlas has two rear cannons, like the Astraeus or Prometheus; This makes it easy to bow lock, and although rewards for sinking had been nerfed, the ship's weaknesses in defense make it targeted a lot regardless.

Many long-time players strongly advise against using this ship for combat as it has a huge profile and poor agility. With a competent crew, it can ward off pirate boarders or ships looking for loot. The Atlas's sloped sides of the hull and generous deck space however, allow pirates to board the ship and go into the cargo hold with ease.

Variants[]

Sentinel[]

The Sentinel variant of the Atlas cost 600,000 Doubloons to upgrade at the Shipwright. It upgrades the Cargo capacity of the Atlas to 26. At the same time, it downgrades the Broadside Size from Size 3 to Size 2 (Heavies -> Mediums). The Stern guns remain along with the Swivel guns on the deck (the stern guns are Size 1).

Brawler[]

The Brawler variant of the Atlas, similar to the Sentinel, upgrades the cargo capacity to 26. Unlike the Sentinel variant, it allows the base size of the broadside (Size 3) to stay the same at the cost of losing the stern chasers.

Verdict: It is probably better to use the Sentinel variant of the Atlas as the Stern guns are very a vital part of the Atlas's defense. Additionally, the Medium Longs offer more range than the Heavies at the cost of only loosing 60 damage per shot.

Trivia[]

  • The Burkeland Navy formerly used an Atlas as a flagship, quite creatively named "BNS Atlas."
  • Named after the Greek Titan who was condemned to hold up the sky for all eternity.
  • It no longer has the highest cargo capacity, with that title going to the Ceres (and Demeter).
  • There is a wrecked Atlas at Hallengard. That, according to lore, belonged to the people who transported what would then become the Verner Expedition after their hometown, Balresk was raided and destroyed. Inside the Atlas is an inaccurate map of the larger world of Tradelands. The map includes lands such as Burkeland, Purshovia, Balresk, and many more.
  • Referred to by some players as a 'Fatlas', due to its large size and vulnerabilities.
  • This ship was frequently targeted by players coming from the newer Atlantis Event who thought they could hijack ships.
