A versatile ship, her biggest advantage and disadvantages comes from her rigging. Packetboats sail similar to frigates, which means they run well with the wind but they aren't as strong against the wind like many similar-sized ships. It takes a skilled captain to fully utilize the Hermes against small and large targets.
