Combat Level: 35
¶ WARNING
The correct "Polars" and "Open Sea Speed" remain unavailable at this time.
¶ History
Trade between the East Indies (i.e. India, Ceylon, all the way to the Far East) and Europe demanded ships that were able sail long distances, carry large cargoes to maximize profitability and enough cannons to defend themselves from attack by pirates. The 'Mignone' East Indiaman is a classic example of such a ship. Broad of beam and with a deep draft this vessel can carry a huge cargo. Frigate rigged she is an efficient sailer though not outstanding. However she is armed like a frigate so she is a formidable foe when challenged by a lone pirate.
¶ Strategy and Use
Few merchant ships are meant to sail through dangerous waters alone. Even the East Indiamen, during times of extreme danger, formed convoys and were escorted by men-o-war. When hauling goods between most ports the East Indiaman is able to handle any encounters at sea. However, when ports are in contention it should be part of a group.
¶ Tactics
The 'Mignone' should stay close to its escorts and fight like a frigate rather than bolt. Care must be taken to avoid crew loss and boarding. As a broadside ship it is well-matched against frigates of the high 30's and low 40's. High turning acceleration allows her to change course at will, preventing lone enemies from raking the bow or stern. It has respectable broadside armor integrity, but requires DR upgrades to be most effective in a line of battle. It is not worth the expense to attempt to make the ship able to outrun attackers, so you'd be much better served improving it's armor and integrity to allow it to put its guns to good use without undue risk.
Outside of battle, it is extremely handy for convenient and safe hauling due to its favorable OS wind angles and decent OS speed.
¶ Variants
Other variants of the Mignone:
- 'Mignone' Indiaman (Civilian)
- 'Mignone' Mastercraft Indiaman
- 'Mignone' Privateer Indiaman
- 'Mignone' Stripped Indiaman

| SAILING Sailing These parameters determine how your ship sails. Max Speed: Maximum Speed SHIPHow fast your ship can move in battles. Improving battle speed does not improve Open Sea speed. Acceleration: Acceleration Determines how fast the ship gains speed. Deceleration: Deceleration Determines how fast the ship loses speed. Lower values are better if you want to maintain speed, higher values are better if you want to stop quickly. Turning (Fast): Fast Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at maximum speed. Turning (Slow): Slow Turn Rate The Ship's turn rate in degrees per second. This is how fast the ship turns if it is moving at a speed of at least 4 knots. Turning Accel: Max Turning Acceleration This shows how fast a ship accelerates into a turn. The higher the value, the faster the ship reaches its maximum turn rate. Turning Decel: Min Turning Deceleration Ships gradually suffer less deceleration as they turn. This shows a minimum amount of deceleration a ship has when turning. Lower numbers (relative to other acceleration stats) are better. Best Point: Best Point The wind angle at which the ship can attain its maximum speed. The wind comes from angle 0o, and angle 180o is running with the wind at your back. Capacity: Capacity How many units of cargo the ship can hold. O.S. Visibility: Open Sea Visibility How far away other ships will spot you on the open sea. O.S. Spotting: Open Sea Spotting Increases your spotting range, allowing you to detect ships beyond their O.S. Visibility. Crew: Crew The maximum number of crew on your ship. Shows the fighting strength of your crew. Target Tracking: Target Tracking Reduces the accuracy penalties you suffer due to your movement and your target's movement. Improves your chance to hit fast moving ships. |
