Attainability

The 'Hercules' Pirate Frigate requires 100k Db, 3 lineship structures, and other minor parts to create. The total cost if everything is made by the player is around 776,497 (varies depending on tax situations, loot drops etc). It would take about 2 months to make everything without external help, if all structure production is used to work solely on making this ship.

The average cost to make this ship if items are bought, based on general server prices, is 850-985k dubloons.

This ship must be certified before you can sail it. Certifying it can be done with 50 Battle Ensigns as a Pirate.

Distinguishing Characteristics

A captured and rebuilt pirate Hercules. She has a huge complement of guns, but they are lighter than the guns on a Mastercraft and Heavy Hercules; better close range damage, worse long-range. It has no offensive accuracy bonus, but does have a reload bonus of 16%.
