Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Cazador del Pirata (Spain)
Card: SM #SS-008 (Uncommon)
Points: 11

Masts: 3
Cargo: 6
Moves: L
Guns : 3L, 3L, 3L
Hit %: 150 (S), 150 (L)
Ability: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against Pirate ships.

The "Pirate Hunter" is well-armed against Pirates, with three L-range cannons that are 2-rank against her natural enemy. Or is she? There are at least five Pirate ships that can't be hit by L cannons, and three of them came out in the same release as this ship. Pirates like the Snipe and Batavian Bat can thumb their noses at this ship and go their merry way. Against other Pirates, she's a threat, but against other factions, she doesn't bring much to the party.

As another option, you could put a Helmsman on the Cazador and use her for gold. Her cargo holds are huge; she can easily clean out several wild islands in one cruise.

Whether you fight her or chase doubloons with her, the main problem is her point cost. For the same price, you could get a fighter like El Monte Cristo, with three 2-rank cannons (two of them L-range) that get
+1 against Pirates, and anything else that isn't Spanish. For gold, 11
points will buy El Alquimista, with higher speed and a +2 on one coin per turn. If you've got her, she may do good things for you, but if you're looking through your older ships for another La Resolucion, keep looking.

Goldship rating: 3.2 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 2.8 / 5
Boarding rating: 2.7 / 5
Overall value: 3.1 / 5
