It doesn't work, I see the code,it will reduce 200 points England reputation,even finish hunting stolen ships quest will also increase highest bounty 10k. Even if England reputation is highest.

He meant hunting stolen ships after getting the 100k bounty. You can sneak into town and deliver the ship without docking in port.

Also a great way to earn doubloons early game.

If meaning after getting the 100k bounty about this,that indeed can reduce about some bounty,at least not need spend more doubloons to low English bounty with Fadey. Anyway if choose give colonel jump to sea,that must have to face this consequence, but honestly, Chimera this ship is not for me, because the others ship is already replace it, probably it's only use smuggling work. But anyway, this ship indeed is the strongest ship in rank 4.

The Chimera makes all class 4s and regular class 3s look like ♥♥♥♥ in comparison. It's meant to be the ship before FTJR.

If not choose Holy Mercy,it's indeed the most suitable ship before FTJR.

There's no need for the Holy Mercy pre-FTJR.

You're mostly trying to earn lots of money which is why a cheaper option like the Chimera is great. Also the fact that she can hold 300 men and allow you to smuggle at the same time is just awesome.

The Holy Mercy only starts being really useful from Hot Sun of Maracaibo onwards.

As I understand, some of other players think Chimera is very embarrass, because this ship is easily replaced by other ship which mean this ship is use it very short time. They won't say this ship is badly, just some embarrass. But anyway I think this ship is undoubtedly the strongest warship in rate 4.

Best ship for freeplay after the Dutch Gambit and before Flying the Jolly Roger, is "embarassing"?

Trust me. Its worth it. I went for the ship, and I just recently got finished working off that entire english bounty (stolen ships will wipe off 20k, fadey's service will wipe off 20k as well, giving money to priests will wipe off 2k, etc), and I think it was worth it.
The Chimera is an absolute monster. It easily defeated the Flying Dutchman by itself.

If is low difficulty, then are worth it for flagship after the Dutch Gambit and before Flying the Jolly Roger? Because in this case player level almost reach 20,even above.

On low difficulties, any ship is good enough as long as you have the skills. The enemy is simply too weak to do anything.

I'm speaking from the "impossible difficulty" point of view.

But since the Ship pack dlcs have been announced, Chimera this ship probably is useless even in Impossible difficulty. Of course,I just paraphrase the some of peoples opinion. They think Chimera is useless anyway,and the Long Shadows quest rewards are also useless. The side with England in the Dutch Gambit is totally unworthy it.

Why on earth would it be useless?
The best permanent cannoneer in the game, and the best 4th or 3rd rate in the game. Torero is just about the same as chimera, except its a much larger target to enemy cannon fire, and has slightly more crew. Frankly outside of boarding or trading, Chimera is superior to Torero.

Honestly whoever thinks the Chimera is ♥♥♥♥, doesn't know much about the game.

However, the Torero is better than the Chimera in raw stats but requires more money for upkeep, and they are quite similar so I would choose the Chimera over the Torero.

Also players on Very Hard and Impossible difficulty can only use ships of class 4 and below for smuggling, which is why the Chimera is pretty good for the middle game, especially when freeplaying between the Dutch Gambit and Flying the Jolly Roger.
