The Defias Blog

This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak discusses the ‘Mercy’ Naval Frigate, which is one of the Naval Officer’s class-specific MoV ships.

This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak focuses on the ‘Cerberus’ Masterclass Frigate, a Level 34 Large Scout.

This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak focuses on the ‘Myrmidon’ Masterclass Frigate, a Level 46 Huge Warship. It is worth noting that the ‘Myrmidon’ is the basis for the ‘Cursed Blade’ Pirate Refit Frigate.

For the past two weeks, I’ve been republishing Garbad_the_Weak’s “Ship of the Week” column (with his consent, of course!) and the Awstats numbers suggest that they’ve been well-received despite lack of comment. Of course, there’s no telling how many readers I’ve gained from the PotBS community and how many readers I’ve retained from the EVE Community after the recent shift of focus (I lub u gais!!!).

Thanks again to Garbad_the_Weak for agreeing to have his articles reposted for the sake of drawing attention to the unique dynamics of Pirates of the Burning Seas’ robust ship combat/PvP system!

Continuing his ‘Ship of the Week’ reviews column, this week we look at Garbad’s treatment of the ‘Tigre’ Sleek, a L50 Huge Scout ship carrying 36 guns and a standard compliment of 335 crewmen.

Last week, we rehashed Garbad’s review of the "Garbad’s Ship of the Week - ‘Conquistador’ Sleek Frigate". This week the ‘Deliverance’ Heavy Frigate is under scrutiny as Garbad examines each of its strengths and weaknesses with an eye toward how best it can be employed in the various combat scenarios a captain is likely to find himself in on Pirates of the Burning Seas.

While not technically a part of the “Ship of the Week” article, I’ll also include a short discussion of the differences between Open Sea (OS) PvP and Port Battle (PB) PvP in which the Heavy Deliverance was used as an example.
