Keyword: Mercenary
Ability: After looking at treasure on a wild island,
you may trade any one treasure from that island for
a random treasure on any other wild island. This
ship must load the traded treasure.
This ship puzzles me. Her ability is meant for gold
running, but Mercenaries don't run gold. Her speed
is too low for gold, too. Add a Helmsman and you're
down to 2 cargo free for treasures, which is pretty
poor, even if you can reject a coin you don't like.
As a fighter, the Hare's Luck is a better fit, with
two good cannons for a low price. She still needs
the Helmsman; add a Captain and you've got a nice
secondary fighter. But the point cost of her
ability, whatever that cost may be, is wasted if she
fights.
So what should you do with this ship? Fight her. If
a lull in the action gives you time to grab a
treasure, do it, and use her ability if you can. But
2-rank cannons shouldn't be wasted on a gold ship,
especially one that can't take its own gold home. I
give this ship slightly above-average marks for
being a slightly above-average gunship.

Hare’s Luck
If a rabbit’s foot were
lucky wouldn’t the rabbit still have it? The Hare’s
Luck is little fighter with strange combination of
ability and guns. The Hare’s Luck is not a fast ship
but does have an ability to deny some good gold to
your opponent. She also has a pair of 2L cannons for
a nice little punch. Perhaps you can use the Hare’s
Luck to stop by an island and swap some treasure on
the way to a fight (I don’t like to go into a fight
with gold in the holds). With two masts she won’t
last long in a duel and so can be considered only a
support ship at best. Her speed is a detriment. The
cargo hold is about average for her size especially
considering that you need a helmsman to keep up with
your main gunship (which needs to be at least S+S).
This confused but cute little ship gets a 2/5 for
her lack of a defined role.
