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.

Trivia[]

  • Named after the Greek god of the seas (and appropriately earthquakes and storms).  
  • The Neptune and Poseidon are named after the same God, although one has the Greek name and the other has the Roman name.
  • Nahr nerfed the Poseidon in late 2016 from 24,000 HP to 18,000 HP after it was spammed.
  • The Poseidon received an update to her model on 15 October 2020.
  • Similar to the Mercury in terms of speed and HP but different in terms of the Poseidon's turrets against the Mercury's long guns.
  • The Poseidon was able to mount mortars in place of turrets before an update disallowed you from doing so.
  • This ship is often used defensively when pirates are raiding ports, typically see better success in numbers.
