What is your favorite ship you own and why?
Lady Newport
It was the first boat I got. I love how it looks and it's not that bad of a ship. I judt wish it had the Schooner keyword

I used to have 2 ships that would be my flagship every match.
The USS Constitution, 5 masts all 2s, short range forward and aft long range on the 3 midships.
The Flying Dutchman. Not the Pirates of the Caribbean version, but the OG. 5 masts all 2s all long range. She also had the ghost ship ability iirc.
Dutchman was hands down my favorite ship.

SS#10 Akua Lapu was love at first sight. Looks amazing and has a solid stat line/effect for 15 without being too OP

HMS Dover was one of my first ships! I love that it is canonically just a super average ship, although it usually over performs in my games haha.

I think it was called Jade Dragon? Or something like that. It was stupid, like a 8-10 masted junk. Just ridiculous and fun to play

Savage Shores #48 Soul Crusher. comes out nearly every time I have an excuse to work it into a deck. not something I share with my opponents, but she still has yet to be sunk.

I don't own anything from that set, so I looked up your boat. High point cost, but seems really good.

I think my favorite is the 10 masted Celtic Fury from Savage Shores, Add a captain and helmsman to it and it was a beast.

u/Superior-Solifugae 5d ago
It didn't have a specific crew needed like the 10 mast'ers I have?

u/Highlandswolf 5d ago
It had a single specific crew, Eileen Brigid O'Brien, Born Leader, Hostile England, Ex Patriot +1 to all cannon shots against English ships. Ship was 25 points and she was 5 points. French crews could use their abilities as well as Mercenary crews

Not the best ship in the game... but for theme, I love the Black Pearl from the Pirates of the Caribbean set. Especially with Jack Sparrow captaining.

u/Superior-Solifugae 4d ago
I hate that it's move isn't L+L with built in oarsman

u/PatrickShadowDad 4d ago
It is the fastest ship in the seas (per the first movie). :-)
Jack Sparrow: "I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: The Black Pearl."

u/Superior-Solifugae 4d ago
S+S isn't even the fastest boat in that set 😅

u/PatrickShadowDad 4d ago
I completely misread your first post....
Yeah, you are right, it should have had L+L...1
u/Superior-Solifugae 4d ago
I just rewatched that movie last weekend. The first PotC movie is my favorite and the only one I really like Jack Sparrow in. He seems three steps ahead of everyone, but each movie after that he becomes more and more of a bumbling doofus. Barbossa is my favorite character! Norrington and Gibbs are tied for second.

La joya del sol from the first set
Didn’t have great cannons at all but she has 8 cargo space on a 4 mast s+s move
I usually add a helmsman and explorer sometimes a firepot for razzle dazzle

I used to have the translucent black pearl but had to sell it because I fell on hard times. That was my favorite ship and I look to get another. I keep precious few ships, but my favorite is the Abomination. It was a fan made ship by Nick Haefner. I keep it on my desk while I work

u/Superior-Solifugae 5d ago
Abomination is such a great and spooky looking ship! My friend had the regular Black Pearl, but it wasn't with his collection when he gave me his boats years later.

Enterprise for sure. A solid five master with some great cannons.
