Captain's log

20-gun sloops don't excist. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> 20-gun brigs do though. and are you sure it's a caravel MM and not a corvette? i've never seen a caravel MM before. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> still, glad you're enjoying it. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> now i've got my pirate corvette, i'm ready to rampage! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />

there is, however, one thing that happened which i left out because the game crashed. let it be enough to say that it crashed because there where so many corpses on the beach that the game couldn't handle it anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

Doh. Brain dead here. Trying to do too many things at once today!
 
well, it takes time to memorize the ships. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> nowadays i can recognise what ship i'm looking at from something like 800 yards away during daytime without using my spyglass.
 
"if there's one thing that needs changing it's giving officers a brain."

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> I agree on that one. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Just finished reading it ..sorry for delay, Morgan. Last time when i started to read i accidently pressed Mozilla Firefox program exit button and then i found out that i was disconnected from network (that happend 2 times) also. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" />
 
well, it IS getting a bit of a nuisance. it's more liable that the officers knock off a mast than that you lose one in battle. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

i apologise for the delay in posting a new entry. i've just been unable to find time for it. in any case, i haven't forgotten.
 
i'm beginning to wonder, am i the first to do a full circle of the archipelago using directsail only?
 
i might do another today, if there isn't too much homework for me to do. i've now made the longest voyage so far. should be interesting.

LOL. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> And i also LOLed when i saw the picture about a dingy and yer sailor over them "and no he's not going to sit on them". <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
And spitting on Claire from the galeon? No respect for the fairier gender? Eh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

And about AI (companions included) can be indeed idiotic sometimes (like collideing with a friend). <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Reading - well, actually more skimming - through the Captain´s Log, I got the impression that you can actually go from island to island <u>without</u> switching to the world map?
 
Yes, you can. Provided that you're using CouchcaptainCharles' DirectSail mod on Build 13 or are using any of the Build 14 Alpha game versions. The mod isn't perfect, but it DOES work and you encounter some fun stuff along the way. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
Edit: See <a href="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=31" target="_blank">here</a> for the download. Be sure to read the accompanying ReadMe file. Can be installed on top of Build 13 Final.
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" /> wow. I always thought that was one of the very few things that were absolutely impossible to do in the engine. I´m impressed, dead impressed (once again, as I was when I discovered the build the first time)
 
whao this is cool <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> so how much time does it take from say oxbay to redmond?
