Trader Brig have gun now ?

[sacapus]

Just attacked a trader brig and noticed it was fitted with guns, capped it and sent it to port.

At port I noticed his gun slot was empty.

 

What did he fire at me with ? A sling shot ?

It has 2  stern chasers ever since EA, idk about previous game versions though.

You wont find them in the tbrig you captured, that much is right. But when you break it, you sometimes get small carriages

Wow, after 600 hours of gameplay I never noticed, always attacking them from broadside, probably the first time I'm behind one, probably due to the new positioning after this patch. lol.

 

It took me by surprise, that was funny!

The trader AI is more focused on trying to run away from you so firing the guns resets the timer for escape.

Yep .. quick breakdown for the traders:

 

Trader Lynx: No guns

Trader Cutter: No guns

Trader Brig: 2 stern chasers .. but they magically disappear when you get it into port.

Trader Snow: 3 X 18 lb Carronades, that are still on the ship after you get it into port.

Gros Ventre:  10 X 9 lb Med or long cannons -- Guns are still there when captured/returned to port
