The extra ship is the pirate mothership. To reach it, collect the grafgold key hidden on every ship. The grafgold keys are usually found under crates and so on. Collecting a key keeps the pirates at bay for a further three minutes. A 5000 point bonus is given for completing a ship with grafgold key. Complete the final ship with every grafgold key to be beamed aboard the pirate mothership for a fight to the death.
