Bombardier3

A ship with this keyword printed on its deckplate card has a special bombardier cannon that has a printed rank but is not associated with a mast. The special cannon cannot be eliminated, cannot be targeted by enemy effects, and cannot be assigned equipment. If the cannon roll for the special cannon is a 1 it jams and cannot be used again until the ship is given a repair action specifically to fix it. After placing ships at your home island but before the game begins, choose whether the special cannon will be an artillery cannon (use the artillery piece) or a flamestrike cannon (use the flame piece). This choice cannot be changed after the game has begun. The artillery cannon has the Extended Range keyword. The flamestrike cannon has a range of S (you may measure using the S-length flame piece); when it hits, replace one of the target's masts with a fire mast.

Firepot Specialist2

Once per turn when this ship is given a shoot action, one of her cannons may shoot a firepot at a target within S of her. Declare which cannon will shoot the firepot before rolling the d6. If it hits, the ship's controller replaces one of her masts with a fire mast. At the beginning of every turn, roll a d6 for each fire mast. On a 6 remove the fire mast; on a 1-3 the ship's controller replaces another of her masts with a fire mast. When a ship has only fire masts, she must be scuttled on her next turn. When a ship docks at her home island or at a fort, remove all fire masts as a free action.
