Coleoptera is another “jack-of­-all-trades-master-of-none” ship. She is one of the fastest submarines (submerged or not) but has only an average cargo hold. She has three guns none of which are particularly good (Are we seeing a trend to have all guns same rank in the Mysterious Islands set?) though they are L range. Even her abilities, +1 to hit against Mercenaries and the link to Captain Mission are not particularly good. Mercenaries being a one set faction and Captain Mission being a bit overpriced for his abilities. Though the Coleoptera is about the same point cost as a regular three masted ship she will come off better because of her Submarine ability. Using the Coleoptera as a harassing ship or an opportunistic gold runner is well within her abilities. Coleoptera garners 3/5 for multi-use role.
