History

The Skuda is a small Baltic Sea trading vessel. Its simple design and rig allows for a reduced crew to sail her between ports.

Strategy and Use

This is the Freetrader starting ship. The Otter is slow to gain speed and turn, but she can take a lot of punishment and sail fast downwind. This makes her a solid choice for small merchant convoys. Alone it's too vulnerable to fast ships to deliver risky cargo. You should upgrade past a Skuda as soon as possible.

Tactics

Variants

Distinguishing Characteristics
