Shipwright says... The Ptarmigan is a combat-modified version of the Grouse, with strengthened hull and added cannons. Available for a limited time.

The Ptarmigan is the combat counterpart of the Grouse trading ship. The armament of this ship consists of 6 Heavy Cannon slots, 4 Medium Cannon slots, and 2 Heavy Cannons located at the stern of the ship.

It's great armament and hull strength make up for it's loss of cargo capacity compared to the Grouse. The Ptarmigan is a decent support ship in combat, though it’s turning rate makes it a rather stiff vessel to helm in ship-to-ship battles.

It’s still decent cargo capacity of 10 ensures the crew doesn’t need to carry all the cargo home after a raid.
