In all respects spare for build cost, the Fox is an upgraded [[Beaver]] which provides the use of both a Medium Mortar and steam engine. The ability to go upwind with the engine—alongside the longer-range capability of the Mortar makes the fox an excellent trade ship that can still be used in combat to great effect. Mostly used in trade, it is great for outrunning pirates by going upwind with your steam engine to escape your foes. It is recommended that the only combat this ship should be is to ward off pirates trying to take the users' cargo.
