Cadet-Captain Mike Name:    Executioner (Pirates)
Card:    RV #007 (Common)
Points:  8
Masts: 2
Cargo: 4
Moves: S+S
Guns : 2L,2L
Hit %: 133 (S), 133 (L)
Ability: Once per turn when this ship hits an enemy ship, also eliminate one crew from that ship.
 
Now here, we have the classic Pirate ship. The Executioner is reasonably fast, has killer cannons and an equally deadly ability, and deep cargo holds, all for a very low price. No question she's a shooter, but she can also pick up a doubloon or two while she's looking for trouble. A Captain is mandatory, a Helmsman would be a help, and a Musketeer or Firepot would be icing on the cake if you can afford them.
 
There are a surprising number of ships that are broadly similar to this one, so let's compare them. The Spaniard, La Reconquistador (OE), is cheaper but slower and has half the cargo. The American, USS Quigley, is also slower and has smaller cargo. The Englishman, HMS Disraeli, is similar to the Reconquistador but has worse cannons. The Pirate, Dolphin, has much worse cannons and smaller cargo, but costs less. The only ship in the Executioner's league is another Pirate, the Royal James, with more speed and the Schooner keyword, but smaller cargo and S-range cannons.
 
In plain English, if you're looking for an inexpensive secondary fighter, it's hard to do better than the Executioner. She has it all, and room for gold besides. They just don't make ships like this any more.
