War Brig vs War Frigate.

[Crimson Rose]

I have a Copperhead V war brig. I've had a war frigate, and I wouldn't get one again.

I actually find the brig and frigate are about the same, although the brig has a definite advantage for my style of sailing.

My preference for the brig is for one main reason, which might or might not surprise you - the frigate is UGLY! I don't know where POTCO came up with the design, but it resembles no real ship that I've ever seen.

What I actually prefer is my fully-upgraded Storm Chaser War Sloop. I rigged it from the beginning for speed and maneuverability. It may not be able to take a lot of damage, but with good sailing maneuvers it is hard to hit!

So the war sloop is effective against NPC ships and for privateering. I only bring my brig out for serious materials runs. And, Tuefenhandel, since it was rigged for armour in the first place, the hold only carries 16 items.

For anyone who knows me, all my ships are named ... (Three guesses!) ... Crimson Rose. Look for me on Andaba if you want to take part in a mats run.
