Summary[]

"Pirates will think twice before attacking a fully-equipped Beaver." - Shipwright Summary

The Beaver is a level eight ship with high cargo, armament and durability and reasonable speed. A great trader, especially if it has a crew to defend it.

Characteristics[]

The Beaver is a popular trade ship thanks to its high cargo capacity, solid armament, and favorable speed. Thanks to its well-rounded capabilities, the Beaver is as effective at fending off would-be pirates as it is with transporting cargo, particularly thanks to its pair of stern cannons and fast downwind speed, able to keep pace with even fast pirate ships such as the Corsair. However, the speed is not enough to stay ahead of ships such as the Pheasant or Marauder, whose sails allow it to outrun the Beaver even at its fastest. The crosswind on the Beaver is also only decent at best, although this is only a minor drawback to what is otherwise an effective all-around ship.

The Beaver currently has three variants: Base (equipped by default) Sentinel, and Raider. All of these variants can be modified by accessing the Shipwright. The Sentinel variant replaces the heavy cannon broadside with mediums, and has an additional two light cannon mounts at the stern. The raider variant increases cargo capacity at the expense of the hold only being able to carry stolen cargo. The stern cannons are removed for bow cannon mounts, and all cannon sizes are reduced to lights.

Trivia[]

  • Named after the plump little mammal mostly found in the US and Canada. Well known for having buck teeth, timber felling and building dams. As these creatures swim and rarely attack, it gives the ship an appropriate name.
  • Received a remodel in 3rd May 2023 as well as a change in cannon armament due to the Ship Variants update.
  • The Fox is just a Beaver with an engine.
