I said nice things about yesterday's ship. I'd like to say nice things about this ship, but I'd be telling a lie. And if I obeyed the saying, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all," then this review would already be over.

 

The Sabre could be a good gold ship, with decent cargo for a reasonable price, except she's way too slow. She could also make her way as a support fighter, with two good cannons, but they're both S-range, which limits her options.  Her ability gives her an edge over other 2-masters if she rams and boards them, but that will cost you two points and a cargo space for a Helmsman. France can do better than that; I couldn't even list all the gold ships that fly the Tricolor and give more cargo and speed for fewer points, or the French fighters that give more bang for the buck.

 

This ship is exactly the same as a Frozen North ship, La Belois, and is very similar to an Ocean's Edge ship, La Moulin Rouge. I have to ask, "Is this ship so amazing that France needed three of them?" The truth is, France doesn't need any of them.

 

Goldship rating: 2.6 / 5

Boarding rating: 2.6 / 5

Value for points: 2.7 / 5
