The Carrack is a wide, tall, curvy Small Ship. It has 5 cannons per side, with 1 normal swivel per side at the center of the ship. Unusually among small ships, Carrack has a crow's nest on its central mast, and takes the longest to sink of any small ship, with incredible durability. This is balanced by its very slow movement speed and turn rate. Carrack's nose is pointed high, which means it will not break in a ram, but will also not be able to damage the enemy ship via ramming.
Carracks are best used either with Chain Shot and Bar Shot to slow down enemies enough that they can Grapple them, used as a tank to soak up damage for their allied ships, or used as a training ship for new captains who tend to sink a lot. In a straight side-by-side fight Carrack can beat any Small Ship, but its large undefended zones at the front and rear can leave it helpless. Due to the very slow max speed and lack of ramming ability, Carracks do not suit a ramming-and-boarding playstyle, and due to the slow turn rate, they cannot compete in normal broadside fight, thus necessitating Special Shot volleys to make up for this disadvantage.
