Oh, for the days when Pirate ships were good, fast, and cheap! The "fast" part has dried up for all the factions lately, but you can still find the other two here and there. Like here, on this ship.

 

The Devil's Pay lacks the speed that a really excellent gold ship needs, and her cargo holds are a bit small and cramped. But for only four points, you shouldn't expect another Golden Medusa. What you do get is a ship that can pay for itself quickly with gold. If you provide her with a Captain (no Helmsman, the crew cost would be too high), you can leave the crew home and run gold for half the game, then pick up the Captain and transform into a slow but accurate support fighter, and cause the enemy some trouble. Her negative ability won't hurt you much in either role, and that ability is probably why she costs so little.

 

This isn't a great ship, okay? But she's a pretty good little ship for a very, very low price, which makes her an above-average value. She isn't as fast as the Carrion Crow, and her pockets aren't as deep as the Paradox, but for four points, you're getting your money's worth and then some.
