Ability: Broadside Attack.
This was the Pirates' big ship in the South China
Seas release. It looks like a pretty typical five-masted
gunship -- all L-range cannons, above-average cargo
for lots of crew, speed on the slow side. Why choose
this ship over other big ships?
The Broadside Attack ability is a crusher (if it
hits). You might ask, "How often would a five-masted
ship want to inflict that much damage?"
In the SCS release, the answer was "more than you'd
think;" recall that the featured ships in SCS were
the six-masted junks. Also bear in mind that
Broadside works even if you've lost some masts. For
the Lady's Scorn, losing masts would be a blessing
in disguise. With those 4L cannons, your Broadside
has a dismal 33% chance of hitting; lose the 4L's
and it rises to 50%, although the damage you'll do
is reduced. You can add a world-hater crew to
improve your shooting, but that doesn't affect the
Broadside.
If you want a five-masted ship with Broadside, you
can do better. Almost all of them are either faster,
cheaper, have better cannons, or a combination of
the three. The Pirates' other five-masted ships all
have better cannons (except for the Stoneheart),
half are cheaper, and most have more useful
abilities. I'd give the Lady's Scorn average marks
if she cost a point or two less, but as she is,
she's a below-average value.
