Shipwright says... A steam engine gives the Phoenix an advantage over the Badger.

The Phoenix is an improved version of the Otter and Badger, possessing both a steam engine and iron reinforced hull while keeping the same other performance statistics as its sister ships. The Phoenix's strong front-facing power and broadside armament, coupled with high health and good maneuverability make it one of the most well-rounded combat ships.

Trivia

• The Phoenix is consistently considered a "meta" combat ship, due to its extremely well-rounded statistics for a 4-gun broadside ship and lack of major weaknesses. As such, it is extremely common to see being used by Navies and Pirate crews alike.

• Players commonly refer to the Phoenix as a "Nix" to shorten the name down.

• The mortars on the bow of the ship can be replaced with light cannons.
