All right, a jackal isn't a fox. But they're close enough that the Jackal's Teeth can round out our week of fox-themed ships.

Like most Corsairs, this one is fast and has decent cargo. She makes a good gold ship if you don't mind overpaying - you could buy the Griffin instead, and get the same speed and cargo for less than half the cost.
Her guns are on the mediocre side, which is also a common Corsair trait. But her cannons aren't meant to sink or derelict the enemy, but to soften him up for boarding. Four masts, a boarding bonus, plenty of speed and cargo, and the Galley keyword tell you that this ship is made for looting ships at sea.

The only problem here is that boarding is a hard way to make a living.
Assuming you win the boarding action, the enemy chooses whether to lose a crew or a treasure, and any treasures he throws your way will be the worst he's got. You can ram and board again and hope for something better, if the enemy doesn't get home first, and if his gunship doesn't chase you away.

So give the Jackal's Teeth a Captain and send her out in search of enemy gold ships. She can hold her own against small fighters if she has to.
You'll still have three empty cargo to fill with stolen goods, and you'll have the satisfaction that every good pirate gets from taking someone else's gold. Unlike most ships with boarding bonuses, this one has what it takes to make the most of it.

Gold ship rating: 3.7 / 5
