The '''Retaliator''' is a fast, large-crew combat ship which excels at putting out mass amounts of fire at long ranges and running at extreme wind angles due to its heavy broadside, high wind tilt, and fore-aft sails. Nevertheless, its slow turn makes it a ship ill-suited for use by itself and abusable by any ship with chasers which happens to sternlock it, so caution should be observed when helming this ship against a coordinated opponent.

The Retaliator is a fast, large-crew combat ship which excels at putting out mass amounts of fire at long ranges. However, its slow turn rate can cripple it in a close fight. The best user for one is where you get into a "line battle" where two ships go broadside to broadside which gives the Retaliator an advantage with the bigger broadside compared to most ships. Outside of that though, the Retaliator is rarely seen in comabat.
