Ability: Crew of any nationality may use their
abilities on this ship.
Here we have a pretty good four-masted fighting
ship, forced to fight with the equivalent of a ball
and chain around her ankle. What a shame.
Her price is reasonable, her cannons are adequate,
her cargo is good, and her ability could prove very
interesting. A cheap SAT crew from the Pirates, for
instance, could enable her to do wonderful things.
But she'd have to do those wonderful things very
s-l-o-w-l-y. There's no question that she needs a
Helmsman along with a Captain. But why bother, when
the same 12 points could buy you Le Vengeance, with
a +1 versus the English, an extra cargo space, and
-- most critical -- S+L speed?
There's no way La Martinette can compete against a
ship like that, unless you don't own the other ship.
This could have been a good ship if she was just a
little faster. But she isn't.
