Large Fluyt

Not as common as the smaller Fluyt, the Large Fluyt can accommodate more crew, more guns and can carry more cargo. Despite this the Large Fluyt is in some ways worse than its smaller counterpart.

The Large Fluyt has all the same faults as the Fluyt. It is slow, sluggish and although it has more guns and crew than a Fluyt they are still somewhat lacking. In terms of firepower the Large Fluyt only has the same number of guns as a Coastal Barque but not only is it slower than a Coastal Barque it also cannot sail on a close-reach or navigate rivers.

The Large Fluyt does not even have the Fluyt's saving grace of being cheap and easily available, this design is not all that easy to come by and is somewhat overpriced, being only marginally cheaper than a Barque.

It is difficult to say why anyone would willingly saddle themselves with this vessel, however because they can at a distance be mistaken for an Altranic Trade Ship the Altranic Guild often use them as decoys and send them out loaded with worthless garbage to distract pirates from their genuine merchant ships.
