The Cog is a transport ship. The smallest and cheapest ship class on the server, the Cog is recommended for starting off or when bigger ships are unnecessary.
While the Cog is effectively defenseless - only being able to carry an ornamental Small Cannon - it is hidden from /craftlist
, making it difficult to track down and destroy.
The Cog uses the Naval Direct Control mode. Direct Control mode (/dc
) is superior to manual movement during combat.
This means it will always cruise in the direction of its "front". If you try to cruise sideways, the craft will move diagonally in that direction instead.
The "front" of a Cog is determined in two ways.
