However, it is inevitable to engage in such warfare when necessary. Artillery such as cannons were redesigned to be lighter and more compact so they would consume less space. Before, cannons occupy much space in the ship thus, the goods that merchants can load on the ship are reduced. Ship rigging was also improved by adding up to 6 masts overall.
