Balanced Total BR - 325 Max Total BR - 1000
Min allowed ship - Lynx
Max allowed ship - Le Gros Ventre Refit
[h3]Deep Water (4th-5th Rates)[/h3]

Min allowed ship - Mortar Brig
Max allowed ship - Wapen von Hamburg

You can easily judge which ship you can take into a battle by looking at Port BR:
Port Battle ship limits are based on BR, not ship rank.

Additionally, Raider Port Battles and Port Battles against defending NPCs have been adjusted to reflect these changes.
You can easily judge which ship you can take into a battle by looking at Port BR:
- 325 BR - from Lynx to Le Gros Ventre Refit
- 1000 BR - from Lynx to Le Gros Ventre Refit
- 1450 BR - from Mortar Brig to Wapen von Hamburg
- 2975 BR - from Mortar Brig to Wapen von Hamburg
- 3300 BR - from Mortar Brig to Duke of Kent
- 6000 BR - from Mortar Brig to Duke of Kent
Port Battle ship limits are based on BR, not ship rank.
- For example, in Port Battles with a BR limit of 1450 or 2975, you can bring any ship with a BR lower than Wapen of Hamburg (even if it’s a 3rd rate ship) and higher than Mortar Brig
