Bullet

"'Need to outrun those pesky pirates? No worries! The Bullet can get the job done with ease.' - Shipwright Summary"The Bullet ties for the fastest downwind speed (9) with the Taipan. Before the April 2020 update, the Bullet was no faster than other speed 8 ships and was considered no better than the Dart. However, its speed has now been fixed.

The bullet is a capable interceptor and transport ship, and is a promising trader for new players. It is an excellent budget option to the Taipan, as they have equal speed (downwind) and armament.

If you're in the middle of a battle and die, this is a great ship to use to get back into the fight.

A variant named the "Prize Bullet" was won by one individual under the user dumb_whale21 as the "ship survey prize". Similarly to how the "hook!" was won by another user. The prize bullet is made of Inyolan Oak, and came with an imperial Lysian Steel arnament, and with light red or peach sails. It has an enormous amount of health that far surpasses any ironclad, and gives huge rewards when sunk. After testing, it showed that 12 rounds fired from a 42 lb long gun which normally would of sunk a bullet, barely moved the health meter.

Trivia Edit

 * Named after a common projectile fired by most firearms (even to this day).
 * The Bullet's hull is identical to the Dart's hull, but in a recent update now for some reason the dart has a stronger hull...
 * Often confused with the Dart. The difference can be found in the Bullet's sails having more square-shaped sails whereas Dart's have triangular-shaped ones.
 * Having square-rigged sails, it is realistically faster than most other ships for its time.
 * Ideal for piracy, and is commonly used by pirates, given that it has low ideal cargo capacity, has great speed, and also has a bow chaser.
 * Good boarding, in the same way as a Lark. One can take advantage of this ship by using its long hull in order to block ships, in turn blocking and then boarding them.
