Traditionally the actual pirates got the large ship and a small ship in the
Lego scheme of things. The "Imperials" (Spanish or English inspired) got the
mid-size ship. Unfortunately the Armada blundered by at the height of parts-
skimping (the ship only has three men, not four). I certainly agree that the
Armada deserved a base equal to the El Dorado or Trading Post ones, and I
would have loved to see a huge treasure galleon, but alas, Lego brought
Pirates to an end (though the theme remains popular with other toy brands) and
the Armada was left sadly wanting.
