Overall strategy[]
The Fluyt can best be described as a poor man's Frigate, and is a medium-class warship unique to the Dutch. Although it is substantially inferior compared to the French-designed Frigate as per regards to firepower and speed, it is still a very useful vessel to use especially in the beginning of the game, due to its cheaper cost, and the fact that it's not as technologically complex as the frigate class.
The only problem with the Fluyt hence is that it also takes more damage from Fire Vessels and other anti-capital ship units, so you should always escort them with your Yachts. Use the cheaper cost of Fluyts to amass naval superiority along with Yachts in an auxiliary, and then you will be able to control the seas using them.
