'Otter' Skuda

Merchant ShipSmall hullLv 5

The Freetrader starting ship. The Otter is slow to gain speed and turn, but she can take a lot of punishment and sail fast downwind. This makes her a solid choice for small merchant convoys. Alone, it's too vulnerable to fast ships to deliver risky cargo. You should upgrade past a Skuda as soon as possible.
