Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Cassandra (Pirates)
Card: CC #005 (Uncommon)
Points: 11
Masts: 4
Cargo: 6
Moves: S+S
Guns : 4S,4L,4L,4L
Hit %: 133 (S), 67 (L)
Ability: Once per turn, this ship may look at one face-down cargo on any ship.

Yesterday's four-master was a fighter; this one is a gold ship, as proven by that huge cargo rating and those awful cannons. Her speed is okay, but a Helmsman would get her really moving, and still leave five cargo spaces free. An Explorer would also speed up her depredations, and Gentleman Jocard (extra cargo space) might also find himself welcome on board. I've never seen her ability do anything useful in the games I've played, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

You could also use her as a boarding ship. In that case, I'd definitely add a Helmsman, and maybe a Musketeer, so you can take two shots while you're pinned.

Big gold ships have the advantage that it's a lot harder to sink them than small ships. Cassandra has everything a gold ship needs except blazing speed, and her price tag is more than fair.

Goldship rating: 4.6 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 2.7 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.3 / 5
Value for points: 4.1 / 5
