When WizKids killed off the Jade Rebellion, they divvied up the ships among the surviving major factions. It seems that the Cursed have joined the "Big Five," making them the "Big Six," because they got some junks, too. But unlike the other hand-me-down junks, this one isn't a repeat from South China Seas, but a brand-new design.

Her speed is good for something this big; her cargo is acceptable. I gave her guns average ratings in spite of their low quality, just because there are so many of them. And if you aren't shooting at another Cursed target, her ability makes them all 3-rank, and her hit percentages jump to 300 at S range, and 100 at L range. Very, very few ships can boast better numbers than that, and don't forget the Junk ability that keeps her own masts from blocking her line of fire. This is one very nasty gunship. Give her El Fantasma (the new sac captain), some Oarsmen for sacrificing, and perhaps a Helmsman, and you're set to rule the seas.

There isn't much to dislike about the Divine Dragon. It would be nice to have more cargo or some 3-rank cannons, but you can't have everything.
Her price is more than fair. I give her almost-perfect marks.

Total rating: 4.5 / 5

     Recently my friend has gotten into the Pirates of the Spanish Main game, and he really seems to like the Cursed. If he was here, I'd ask him his opinion on this ship. He'd probably give me around a 3.5, because he likes the Cursed. If this was Pirate, I would give it a 3.5. But it isn't. So I won't.
     The first thing you see about this ship is the 6 masts and the pretty bad cannons. Then you notice the ability, and the cannons become about run-of-the-mill. The Junk keyword helps here, letting your masts shoot through each other. This ship needs a Captain and a helmsman. A good choice for the captain is El Fantasma, and then some unneccesarry 1-point crew just to use El Fantasma's ability.
     So lets see with the El Fantasma, about 3 Oarsmen/Explorers, and a Helmsman, this ship has average cannons, S+S+S speed, and a great extra action chance. However, that would run its price up to 26 points. It still might be worth it, but i wouldn't think so.
     Well, it's good to see that the Cursed actually have a ship in the new pack, I was afraid they'd just get monsters. However, it definitely could have been better, and I just can't give it any higher than average marks. This ship earns a 2.5 of 5.
