¶ 'Capricieux' Courier Frigate
¶ Combat Level
Combat Level: 40
¶ WARNING
The correct "Polars" and "Open Sea Speed" remain unavailable at this time.
¶ General
A stripped down Capricieux built for light combat and courier duties.
¶ Variants
Other variants of the Capricieux:
- 'Capricieux' Frigate
- 'Capricieux' Frigate (Civilian)
- 'Capricieux' Heavy Frigate
- 'Capricieux' Mastercraft Frigate
¶ Strategy and Use
A fairly good frigate for players who are late into getting a usable ship for the level 30 bracket, but doesn't compared well to mastercraft versions of Stralsunds' (For long-range punch), nor does it trump the 'Raa' Heavy Frigate (For in-close DPS and boarding action). The courier Capricieux has the same number of guns as the standard Capricieux, the two main differences being the poundage of the guns and the amount of armor.
¶ Tactics
Not as maneuverable as as 'Cerberus' Mastercraft Frigate, but with significantly more armor and hull integrity as well as a larger complement of smaller guns and on a separate topdeck and gundeck. This makes it adept at closing with the enemy and releasing quick, effective broadsides at short-medium range (between 150 and 300 yards). It also has a much larger crew than the 'Cerberus' complementing its short range strategy with the ability to board much more effectively.
Having respectable speed and maneuverability means it can get in close where the 'Stralsund' Mastercraft Frigate has less of an advantage, being significantly slower and having a much slower turn rate. But when it all comes down to it, unless you particularly enjoy boarding the enemy and defeating them in that fashion, you'd be better off choosing a 'Cerberus' MC or 'Stralsund' MC Frigate, depending on the situation and your preference.
