Summary[]
"The Poseidon's all-iron hull makes it extremely tough. Press E to toggle steam engine on and off. Requires coal to run. *HAS NO SAILS*" - Shipwright Summary
The Poseidon is an ironclad ship offering high health alongside fast-turning, powerful guns. This warship is built and often used by the Purshovian Federation in roleplay battles.
Characteristics[]
The turrets offer great protection from fire for the crew, however the limited viewing window can make spotting targets challenging. Despite having a 7 speed engine, the overall speed of the ship remains quite slow, paired with a very slow turning speed. The Poseidon is able to independently function better than a Neptune due to the lack of a rear blind spot as well as needing only 3 crew to man, allowing multiple to be used for the same crew cost. The Poseidon provides a far healthier yet slower alternative of a 3 crew ship to the Stiletto, which also functions as an effective independent or support ship, and the increased speed and wind tilt over a Binglehopper allows it to more effectively provide support to fleets.
Four types of turrets can be currently fitted onto the Poseidon's hardpoints: Poseidon Long Guns, Demeter Long Guns, Ares Long Guns, and Marochev Turrets. The bow turrets have the ability to use Slowing Shot. Her sail variant is an upgrade that adds usable sails allowing her to move without relying on her engine. This ship modification costs an additional 500,000 doubloons and can be bought from the Shipwright. The Poseidon Upgrade figurehead adds cover around the helm, providing ample cover from incoming round shots.
