Fox

The Fox is a common trading ship, popularized by its above average cargo capacity and steam engine. The Fox is a sidegrade of the Beaver, providing both a medium mortar and steam engine at the cost of a reduced cargo capacity. Mostly used for trading, it is great for outrunning pirates by going upwind with the steam engine to escape, also proving to be a versatile combat ship with a relatively fast turn speed and lack of blind spots.
