Summary[]
"The Widgeon is a modification of the Goose designed to pack a bigger punch." - Shipwright Summary
Similar in appearance to the Goose, the Widgeon is a level seven ship with high health. It trades its stern chaser and some cargo capacity for two bow chasers and a more ergonomic cannon layout, but retains the low speed.
Although it's a combat ship, the Widgeon is unpopular and is referred to as a pseudo combat ship like the Marlin, most likely due to its slow speed but decent turn speed and massive size.
Nevertheless, it can be a powerful unit if well-manned by a good captain and crew. The ship also features two bow guns, adding it to the list of ships with a chaser. Those ships include the Raider, Orca, Marauder, etc.
In summary, the Widgeon is an attempt to turn the Goose into a combat ship. Although lacking in speed and armament, its maneuverability comes in handy for many situations.
