The damaged cutter can be repaired with a Spanner. +### The Cutter is a great way to transport a lot of goods over a very long distance as it is also relatively fast, and has a great defence having over 100 total Health! however the base cutter does not boast impressive offensive capabilities as it is unarmed, it is purely a merchant ship + +## The Weaponised Cutter +*** + +weaponised cutter + +### The Weaponised Cutter is an intimidating war ship, it boasts the impressive inventory of the Cutter mixed with 2 cannons and a mortar, it is a swift ship sharing the same speed as the Cutter! +To use the cannons you press G for left cannons, J for right cannons and H to fire the mortar, the mortar has a higher vertical fire angle so it can travel longer distances! the side cannons do not grief terrain but the mortar is explosive and can destroy terrain +### The Weaponised Cutter is perfect if your server has choppy waters! it has a great defence having more combined health that the normal Cutter while also being Weaponised! It will one shot the raft and 2 shot the swashbucklers, a ship fit for a pirate king! + +## The Corvette +*** + +Not Yet Available in game + +`The information stated here is as if the ship was complete, the corvette is incomplete and not yet available in survival, it lacks the features stated here and is summoned with the command "/summon hpm:corvette_steamship"` +### The Corvette is the largest ship in swashbucklers as it is an impressive 17 blocks long and 21 blocks tall! It is a merchant ship similar to the cutter and is therefore not weaponised, however it does have 3 Storage compartments and 3 player seats! the ship is the same speed as the normal swashbuckler and is the tankiest ship in the mod, it has 2 damage stages and a half sunken state before it fully sinks, that makes for a grand total of nearly 500 health! it is incredibly hard to defeat, but at the expense of weaponry. +### The Corvette trumps every other ship in size and storage, however it is a steamship meaning it will need to be fuelled by coal +
