I completely agree with the Galleon being slow and a huge target. Can somebody explain to me, how a Galleon was a Spanish merchant ship for transporting gold from South America to Spain? It was made to be big so that it could hold a lot of gold at a time and didn't always have the full cannons it could, because it was probably too weighed down from the gold. But how did a ship that was plundered by pirates, turn into a pirate vessel? And I do see more of a ship pirates used on the Brig.
