The Goose's wide hull allows her to carry an abundance of cargo while still being decently armed." - Shipwright Summary
The Goose is a level 7 merchant vessel unlocked along with the marauder, its warship variant the Widgeon, and its steamship variant, the Steam Goose.
The ship is square rigged with one aft lateen-sail placed on the aft-castle and possess a forward square sail on an angled mast that's pointed forwards.The sails provide a slow speed of 6.
The goose is armed with 8 size 6 cannons(4 per side) and possesses a size 4 stern-gun making the goose fairly well-armed for a merchant ship.
The Gooses broadside spans across the entire side of the ship minimizing the blind-spots on the ship combined with the stern-gun it allows the goose to defend itself from most directions. Its health is decent for its broadside profile due to the fact the ship is incredibly narrow and very tall, though this makes it difficult for pirates to board. On the contrary, it's huge hull makes it a some-what easy target to be sunk by well-armed enemies, so then the pirates will pick up your load of cargo once your ship is sunk.
Though it has it's downsides like many ships, with a skilled crew and an smart captain,the Goose can be a great ship.
Trivia[]
- Named after the plump, long-necked waterfowl of the same name, rightfully so, given this ship has a huge "plump" hull.
- Goose is a term that specifically applies to the female, a Gander is a male and babies regardless of gender are Goslings.
- Some consider this ship to be a waste of materials, even though it is statistically the third highest cargo capacity ship in the game, behind the Atlas/Beaver and the Mastiff.
- It is considered to be too tall for some players, making it hard to get on the ship or shoot cannonballs from the deck, but this results in a farther shooting range because of its height.
- There is a steam variant of the Goose, called the Steam Goose, and a combat variant called the Widgeon, which trades its stern gun and 5 cargo storage for two light cannons on the bow of the ship.
- The Goose is a fluyt, a 17th century Dutch trading ship.
