Raider

"'The raider is perfect for an aspiring Hallengard Warrior. Also good for ab workouts. Has no sails. Requires at least two rowers to row effectively.' - Shipwright Summary"The Raider is a level 5 ship that requires paddles to move. It can go quite fast when fully crewed with paddlers, and its light armament and high cargo make it ideal for quick raids or hard to hit trading, but not so great for heavy naval battles.

If fully crewed and paddled efficiently, it can out speed any ship, with no exceptions. She reaches a speed of eleven with a crew that is highly trained with paddles, however any poorly crewed ship from any enemy fraction can be caught and easily raided.

For most instances, its inefficient due to it requiring many rowers to go top speed and poor synchronization can result in turning more to one side. Most non-navy people can't recruit the amount of rowers required to use this boat effectively.

Although her role is pillaging, the Raider excels when properly manned and used for trading. A skilled crew of rowers and consistently outrun any would-be thieves, but is vulnerable to cannon fire and mortar shells if the enemy gets into range.

The ship is also favored by the Hallengard Navy for it's versatility.
