Serpent

"'The Serpent's junk-rigged sails make her easier to sail upwind.' - Shipwright Summary"

Summary
The Serpent is an Inyolan level eight ship with great cargo and armament, decent speed and durability, and great sailing. An excellent trader for routes that do not follow the wind.

The Serpent is very similar to the Kraken, the only other Junk-rigged ship in the game beside the Serpent and the newly added Taipan. In most player's opinion the Serpent is better suited for trading than combat or pirate raids.
