Attainability

The 'Hercules' Sleek Frigate requires 500 Db, 1 lineship structure, and other minor parts to create. The total cost if everything is made by the player is around 388,861 (varies depending on tax situations, loot drops etc). It would take about 1 month to make everything without any 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 500k to 550k Db.

This ship must be certified before you can sail it. Certifying it can be done with 10 Royal Encomiums or 15 Magistrate's Commendations for Excellence as a Privateer, and 10 Battle Ensigns or 15 Magistrate's Commendations for Excellence as a Pirate.

Note: According to the 1.3 patch notes on testbed, this ship will see a slight reduction in cost. The reduction will be around 20k to the "if everything is made by the player" cost.

Distinguishing Characteristics

A Hercules that's been rebuilt to be quicker and faster, but it has lighter guns. It has no reload or offensive bonus.
