¶ 'Terror' Pirate Second Rate
The Terror is a Pirate Second Rate Ship of the Line available for the Buccaneer and Cutthroat class. Pirates have refitted her with an additional 102 guns giving the ship greater fire power combined with the superior maneuverability of the Second Rate.
Second Rate are the queens of the seas. They aren't as powerful as First Rates, but their superior maneuverability makes them less vulnerable to fast predators.
The 'Terror' is worth an investment for Pirates who are looking for the most Firepower, being used for PvE and/or as Port Battle ship.
¶ Additional information
