"The Starling is a fast maneuverable ship with modest armament and cargo carrying capacity." -Shipwright Summary
The Starling is a level 3 ship that is a well balanced, low-level ship that will perform, but not exceed, in any task. It is very good for trading at low levels, and is able to defend itself.
As a flyboat, it works great for lower merchants and pirates alike. It's good for stealing cargo and preventing cargo from being caught. Even though it has more health than the Lark, its large hull makes her easier to hit and thus more likely to be sunk. Nonetheless, it is small, so the only real problem is the threat of boarding parties. The lateen sails allow her to go perpendicular to the wind and maintain full speed; no ship other than a Marauder is able to catch a properly helmed Starling. It is also one of the easiest ships to maneuver, despite its short delay for turning.
Trivia[]
- Named after the common medium-sized bird found in Europe.
- Due to its lateen sails and shorter length, it is more maneuverable than the Dart. This combined with its decent armament makes it viable in combat with similar tier vessels.
- Often overlooked because of its small cannons and low health, but is better than most mid-level ships in every other way.
- The Starling is a Caravel, a type of ship originating from the 15th century from Portugal.
- The Startling is one of three ships (Marauder and Lark) with lateen sails, allowing it to maintain full speed while going perpendicular with the wind.
