Compare Le Triton to the last three ships I reviewed, and you can see the difference a little extra speed makes. Her stats aren't that different from the others, but the fact that she can get out of her own way without a Helmsman makes all the difference in her ratings.

Her guns aren't quite up to snuff for fighting, so I'd use her for gathering gold. She needs no crew at all for this, and she's got plenty of room for pieces of eight. The "cannot be pinned" ability is mostly useful for boarding ships, and there's nothing stopping you from stealing some enemy treasure that way. But I wouldn't plan my tactics around boarding; I'd run for the gold, and board if the opportunity arises, rather than chase an enemy ship halfway across the map in hopes of ramming her.

France got some fine gold ships in their first two releases. Le Triton is one of them. She gives a lot of value for her point cost. If you've got her, and you don't have any of the cheaper French gold ships like Le Bon Marin, Le Pique, or L'Intrepide, then by all means use her.

Goldship rating: 4.1 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.3 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.5 / 5
Value for points: 3.8 / 5
