This version of the Flying Dutchman (there are three versions in the
game) is certainly the weakest of the lot. But even a weak five-master is not a foe to casually ignore, so let's take a closer look at her.
 
Just about all of her stats are what we'd call typical of a big ship.
Except for one: her low price tag. Only two five-masted ships can be had for less than eleven points, the Spanish Morning Star (worse cannons and a negative ability) and the Cursed Mourning Star (smaller cargo and slower). Her low cost makes her an ideal flagship for a Pirate combo fleet; even with Captain and Helmsman, you can still afford a small fighter with similar crew, with points left over for three or four cheap gold ships. Or you can add fighting crew and make her really dangerous; the OE Crimson Angel (world-hater and SAT) would be a fine candidate here.
 
This Flying Dutchman is not an outstanding ship, but she offers outstanding value for her point cost. If you're a Pirate looking for a good fighter that won't use up all your points, here she is.
