The '''Astraeus''' is a level 10 ship with a fairly high cargo capacity, formidable armament, and a strong hull.  It's size and low speed make it an easy target for enemies, however, if not sufficiently manned. The Astraeus' main usage in combat is its two mortars, you can often see the ship hanging back and raining mortar fire down on the opponents, much like the [[Phoenix]].

With its broadside, the Astraeus can shred most ships that come its way, the only thing that hinders the ship is the turning rate of the vessel. The slowness allows the ship to be easily stern and bow-locked, although stern-locking isn't much of a viable option thanks to the stern guns.

The Astraeus is a level 10 ship with high cargo, incredible armament, the third highest hull strength in the game, and a low speed.

A great use for the Astraeus is as a flagship. Her unholy armament and high health pool mean that with minimal support from allies it can devastate anyone foolish enough to get in its way, though this ship can be countered by ships of greater speed such as the Marauder or Stiletto

Countering the Astraeus is not difficult for experienced pirates, most likely using the Stiletto, Marauder and Phoenix ships. The Astraeus's mediocre turning speed and rear cannons makes it likely to be sternlocked, unless viable support is nearby or if the rear guns remain intact.


Trivia

  • One could assume that the Astraeus is named after the greek Titan god of dusk.
  • Similar to the Atlas and Prometheus, the Astraeus has a captain's quarters with a large Map inside.
  • Players often shorten the name of the Astraeus to "Astra."
