This week is Jade Rebellion week, which l’m quite pleased about. I’ve just got myself a full set of SCS and am very much looking forward to start playing with the Jade.

I’ve never had the opportunity to try the Jade Rebellion. But they look pretty good, focused on fighting with a bit of boarding thrown in. A little weak on gold collecting and this ship is a good example.

I think it’s one of the better gold runners the Jade have, if they have any that is. She has the speed and a useful gold ability. A little small on the cargo side of things, but you need to get used to that with the Jade. I would probably just send her out as she is. You could put aboard an explorer to speed things up when you first arrive at that wild island. Then dump him later on to free up cargo space.

All in all, not a bad gold ship, not cheap but not bad value either. That’s take a look at the value.
