Here we have a little ship with a bad cannon, worse
cargo, and an ability you'll never use. She also has
a tiny price tag and scorching speed. What is she
good for?
My friend Paul the Pirate Prince likes to put an
Explorer on the Zephyr, and uses her to scout the
wild islands. His slower gold ships will know their
best destinations in advance, and any negative
unique treasures will wind up on the Zephyr, where
they'll do no harm. Another use for her would be as
a tiny but fast gold ship. Gentleman Jocard, who
gives an extra cargo space, will definitely find a
home here. Or consider Vlad the Iceblood, Tia Dalma,
or a Smokepot Spec. High speed and low cost can
always find a use, if you put some thought into it.
At the end of the day, this ship's cannon, cargo,
and ability don't matter. You're paying very little,
and getting a flexible little ship that's a superb
value. Such ships became more and more rare with
each new release of Pirates. No wonder my friend
Paul likes her.
