UPS 5 “Enhanced”
70 (75) Point Fleet

The idea for this fleet came to me when a game for the 10th anniversary of the Facebook group was discussed. Xerecs led the setup process, with a build total of 70 […]

At face value I’d rate this a 5/5. UPS 5 was a powerhouse in the tournament, and it only lost to the eventual winner IIRC.
You might run into a snag if you go up against someone who
A) Uses events to attack your ships, Mermaids, Becalmed, etc.
B) The fleet comes up against a mostly gunship based fleet, something built around the HMS Grand Temple or San Cristobal.

I’m wondering if a single ship fleet built around one of the other ten mast ships would be any good against this one.

  @Xerecs: Indeed, events always pose an issue. (which is of course why I like to ban them)
  That would be an interesting counter – a fully loaded 10 master could pose problems if they used it with their own Hidden Cove and Sac. However, Tia Dalma would help a bit against that contingency, and having two quick-acting “CJS ships” would increase the chances of having one survive long enough to teleport home an entire island of coins.
  Now I’m thinking of other potential UPS combinations, like putting CJS on the OE Deliverance or Roanoke in a 40 point game….

The Cursed are easily the worst of the “Big 6” major factions. Though I do think Davy Jones can be viable in 40 point games. Thanks for commenting!
