Overview[edit]

Weak, and with generally sub-standard common stats, the Caravel is a second-rate TM.

Background[edit]

With its ability to quickly deploy and recover fighters, the advent of the Caravel has added to the aggression and organization of pirate raiding activity.

Physical Characteristics[edit]

The Caravel is a cross between a Teladi Pelican and Argon Magnetar, with the Pelican's outriggers mounted to the Magnetar's helmet-shaped bow.

Combat[edit]

Although the Caravel has a wide choice of weapons to choose from, its poor defenses, mediocre speed and low shield recharge rate make it very vulnerable in combat.

Equipment[edit]

Missiles

Availability[edit]

The Pirate Caravel is not sold and must be boarded to be added to the player's collection.

Suggested Roles[edit]

The Caravel is more of a showpiece than anything else; there's no task for which another TM fails to be both superior and easier to acquire.
