  1. Don't use Indiaman at dangerous routes at European prime time. Much safer is using 4 Trader Lynxes. Those have their best speed upwind and can escape all square rigged ships. Only Requin, Lynxes, Privateers and Princes you have to fear then. Bad thing is you can only transport 2000 cargo then. But 16000 cargo in 4 Fir Fir Indiaman probably undercrewed and without cannons is extremely high risk and will lead to a lot of loss. When you have enough crew for 3 Indiaman, don't craft them in Fir Fir. Use Teak Sabicu or something similar strong. You will lose some speed, but even a fir fir Indiaman is a slow ship, which can be catched by everybody. Put cannons on all Indiaman and take a Trinco, Wasa or Redoutable as main ship. Then it is almost impossible for a single frigate to attack you successfully. The firepower will destroy it before it is able to sink one of your traders. Of course a ganker squadron will kill you anyway. Best way to avoid attacks while trading is to avoid hunters. Stay outside main trading routes. Trade in the morning. Do the dangerous part of your travel with trader lynxes and sail your cargo into the next port which is outside of the busy area. Get out on the high sea far away from every coast as fast as possible. Coastal waters are dangerous waters. And nver forget. There is no trading with zero risk. So don't put your whole fortune in one fleet. You can lose everything then in a few minutes.
  2. Was in that battle as well, and F11 the disconnect.
  3. What will the advantage of an obusier will be, if you compare it with a carronade?
