Serpent

The Serpent is a level 8 ship capable of a variety of roles, as it has a heavy armament, decent speed, and fair cargo capacity. Boarding a Serpent may prove difficult for some players to get on, as it has high and flat sides that can be accessed from the water by use of a ladder on the side of the hull. Serpents struggle with somewhat poor maneuverability, thus they may have trouble fighting smaller, more maneuverable foes. However, the high walls raise the cannons off the water enough to give it a sizable range in combat.
