Ability: After looking at treasure on a wild island, you can trade any one treasure from that island for a random treasure on any other wild island. This ship must load the traded treasure.

We've looked at four 9-point ships this week, and this is the cream of the crop. High speed and a good gold-ship ability make the Ranger a fine choice for bringing home pieces of eight. Cargo is a bit low, but that's not as big a handicap as it would be on most ships because you don't need any crew. An Explorer might be worthwhile if your enemies use super-fast gold ships - you can get to a wild island just after the enemy does, swap out one cruddy coin, and then grab the good ones while the enemy is still lowering his anchor. Otherwise, leave her cargo empty for treasure.

You could use her for fighting or boarding, but she's not too hot at those roles, and it would be a waste of a good gold ship. With one more cargo, or with a slightly lower point cost, the Ranger would get a perfect score on value. As she is, she's not far off the mark.

Gold ship rating: 3.9 / 5
Gunship rating: 2.1 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 2.4 / 5
Overall value: 4.8 / 5
