The '''Neptune''' is an extremely bulky ironclad, possessing a broadside of 3 medium guns, unique among ironclads. Unlike the [[Poseidon]] or [[Binglehopper]], the Neptune lacks any form of stern protection and thus is vulnerable to sternlocking. The front turret of the Neptune can be a wide variety of options which can be adapted depending on the needs at the time. A standard Poseidon Long Gun can be equipped if reliability and a fast turn speed is needed, though this is generally inadvisable compared to the three unique Neptune turrets. The Neptune Howitzer offers an extremely long range with high splash damage, allowing for long distance shots which can easily disarm ship broadsides and kill crewmembers, however it is lacking in raw damage. The Neptune Super Carronade sits on the precise opposite of the spectrum, having the least range of any turret but having the greatest damage of any cannon in the game while still retaining powerful splash damage like the Howitzer. The Super Carronade is also the easiest of the three turrets to disarm, which is compounded by the short range and should be kept in mine when in use. The Neptune Twin Long Guns offer a middle of the road approach, having a range and overall damage output between the Howitzer and Super Carronade, though it is also very taxing on the gunner's round shot supply and doesn't have as great splash damage as the other two Neptune turrets.

 

The '''Neptune''' is armed with a powerful turret and three relatively small cannons on each broadside. With a very high hull strength, it can absorb quite the beating before sinking. Although, it should be noted that unlike the Poseidon, the Neptune does not have any stern protection. Leaving it vulnerable to maneuverable ships. The Neptune offers mutiple playstyles for its captain with the ability to hold size 10 turrets. The Neptune's howitzer offers less damage compared to the other options but with greater range. The twin long gun turret offers the middle sporting good damage and range. The last one being the Neptune's super carronade offering the most damage out of any cannon in the game, but at the cost of range

Adding a Neptune Upgrade will add a tarp on the top of the Neptune that protects the vessel from mortars, which is very beneficial for this type of clad.
