Unlike the other one-off factions, the Corsairs have
a dirt-cheap ship, the Dervish. Such ships usually
aren't good for much, but they cost so little that
they pay for themselves almost without trying. This
little ship gives you a lot for your four points.
Her speed is bad, and her cannons are worse. But her
cargo is good, and she has two masts, which makes
her a little harder to sink than most super-cheap
ships. Send her to nearby wild islands for gold,
while your fast ships go for more remote islands.
She'll take forever to get there, and even longer to
get home, but even if all the treasure she finds is
one-gold coins, that still pays back her cost in one
trip. If you're building your fleet and have four
points left over, give the Dervish a whirl. (Sorry.)
