Today we have a very rare ship. Not so much rare from a collectors point of view. But rare from the point of view that she’s a useable Cursed ship. I know, am totally astonished at this fact as well. I would guess that any Cursed player would step over the body of their own grandmother to get this ship. I for one, couldn’t wait to get my greedy little pirate mitts on it. With good reason too, she’s a good addition to any fleet.
 
With do anything stats, you can use her for standard gold collecting and/or supporting your gunships. You’ve got the speed to chase enemy gold runners, board and maybe steal a coin.  The can’t be pinned ability could come in handy if the target ship still has masts. The turbine will prevent dereliction and she’ll keep her base move.
 
As for crew, the usual generic crew could be considered. Captain, helmsman or explorer. A fire shot or equipment could be used to take advantage of those rank two guns. Musketeer will provide a cannon and a little surprise if she does lose her masts. Eternal crew such as El Fantasma RF would be good. Also you’ll get Fear and a chance of the same action twice. Since any enemy will be aware of the turbine keyword and be out to sink her. A good ship at a bargain price and you can’t say that about many Cursed ships.
