Masts: 3
Cargo: 3
Moves: S+S

Link : Ibrahan Ozat
Ability: Mercenary. After this ship resolves a shoot action, she may move as a free action.
 
The Meropis isn't like a lot of Merc ships, which make you ask, "What is this thing good for?" She actually has a role that she can play well.
 
That role is boarding. The reverse-Captain ability works best in this role -- shoot off the enemy's masts, then move to ram and board him when he's weakened. Or, if you're pinned from a previous ram, shoot his last masts off, then move away once he's a derelict. The linked crew gives an S-board, which enhances a boarding ship's flexibility and saves a cargo space due to the link. But her low mast count means she shouldn't pick on big ships, so her intended target is probably the enemy's two-masted gold runners. With a Helmsman on board, you can probably catch a few of these and steal their goodies.
 
Alternately, you can use Captain and Helmsman and use her as a fighter that can either move and shoot, or shoot and move. Her cannons aren't bad; she could do some harm this way. Either way, the Meropis gets something I don't give to Merc ships very often:  above-average marks for value.
 
Goldship rating: 1.0 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.0 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.5 / 5
Value for points: 3.2 / 5
