The '''Goose''' is a large, fairly early trade ship known for its competent cargo capacity while still being decently well armed. The stern gun is especially useful for firing at chasing pirates, and the height of the two top deck cannons give it a range not to be dismissed. Despite these factors, the Goose is a fairly large target compared to other ships at its level and fairly slow, so care should be taken when engaging in combat or in servers with high pirate populations.

* The Goose possesses three similar Fluyt variants: the [[Steam Goose]] with an engine and mortar, the [[esooG]] that is a reversed version of it, and the [[Widgeon]] which trades cargo capacity and the rear chaser for bow chasers, more health, and a better overall cannon layout.

The Goose is a common trade ship favoured by many newer players. It offers an amazing 14 cargo capacity, second only to the atlas. When considering its impressive size, inexpensive construction requirements and multiple decks it is a very tempting vessel for aspiring traders. However, the Goose is noticeably slower and less manurable than similar level mercantile vessels, such as the Beaver. While the singular size four stern cannon offers excellent range to fend off pursuing vessels it lacks the power to dissuade most pirates. The Goose has an unnecessarily high profile and while impressive makes it an extremely easy target for even the most inexperienced crews. These drawbacks mean the goose is wildly considered obsolete and ineffective for the modern cargo system that rewards higher risks.
