10 Mast Ships?
Alright, I've looked far and wide, and I haven't seen a single picture or description of those alleged "10 mast ships (that somewhat childishly glow in the dark, then again, I AM a grown child throwing out massive amounts of money for toys)" included in those special "Plunder Packs", I've looked through about half of the pictures on the geek before I feared I might lose the will to live if I kept looking at even MORE of those ships I'll probably never own, I've tried google with god knows what ungodly requests, I'm finished...

Could someone, ANYONE give me a link to a good picture? Also, could you tell me if those ships are actually (realistically) playable?

Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately I don't know of any pics of the 10 masters, and mine is currently in storage, otherwise I would take some.

As far as playability, I have played against two different ones in multi-player games. They did hold their own. but definitely had targets painted on them. When crewed properly, they will be a force to reckon with, but I would only use them in a free-for-all, rather than in a gold-gathering game.

I have two different 10 mast ships, but have yet to open their packaging.

Hope this helps.

Ah, thanks, from your explanation I guess that they aren't completely overpowered, but do you know how many of those things exist?

And since you seem to know about crewing ships properly (Rather than me, a complete n00b regarding this game), could you give me some tips on how to generally make those particular ones stronger? Mind you, I haven't received mine yet, so perhaps it's obvious what works when you see them, though as I said, I'm not THAT familiar with the system, so any tips that help me stay competitive are appreciated ;)

Awesome, it actually has 10 cannons O_O

Thanks as well, that was the first picture I saw of one of those things, AAAAHHH now I need MINE! :D

I actually know who I'll bust with one of those things...

Though I seem to remember a few unbelievably strong 6 to 8 mast junks that (just a personal feeling) seem actually more powerful than that one (from my searches)...
