Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Shap'ng Tsai (Mercs)
Card: SS #052b (Special Edition)
Points: 6
Link : Shui Xian
Ability: Captain, Ex-Patriot, Hostile: France. Once per turn, you can eliminate one of this ship's crew to give her an extra action.

This crew is a straight-up sac captain. France's other such crew, Capitaine Arathiel, costs one point less, but takes up a cargo space on the Shui Xian. So choose -- do you want to save a point or save a cargo space?

Interestingly, the original Shap'ng Tsai had the same abilities as the current one's rival, Eileen Brigid O'Brien -- a SAT and a bonus against the English. That original Shap was probably the best one. If this version cost the 5 points that he ought to cost, I'd have only good things to say about him. But he doesn't.

Gold crew rating: 2.3 / 5
Gun crew rating: 3.9 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.2 / 5
Value for points: 2.7 / 5
