Cadet-Captain Mike
Name: Cassandra (Pirates)
Card: CC #005 (Uncommon)
Points: 11
Masts: 4
Cargo: 6
Moves: S+S
Guns : 4S,4L,4L,4L
Hit %: 133 (S), 67 (L)
Ability: Once per turn, this ship may look at one
face-down cargo on any ship.
Yesterday's four-master was a fighter; this one is a
gold ship, as proven by that huge cargo rating and
those awful cannons. Her speed is okay, but a
Helmsman would get her really moving, and still
leave five cargo spaces free. An Explorer would also
speed up her depredations, and Gentleman Jocard
(extra cargo space) might also find himself welcome
on board. I've never seen her ability do anything
useful in the games I've played, but maybe I'm doing
it wrong.
You could also use her as a boarding ship. In that
case, I'd definitely add a Helmsman, and maybe a
Musketeer, so you can take two shots while you're
pinned.
Big gold ships have the advantage that it's a lot
harder to sink them than small ships. Cassandra has
everything a gold ship needs except blazing speed,
and her price tag is more than fair.
