Sorry for the lack of updates to the main page lately, between work and playing AOP2 a lot, I haven't had a lot of free time. Despite what other game sites are saying, this game is definitely worth playing! I will get my own review for the game up as soon as possible. Now on to the weekly report! There have been a couple of news story's this past week citing reports out of Russia that luxury cruise liners have been offering "Pirate Hunting" cruises. For the tidy sum of £3,500 (US$5,800) per day, they will take you out in the Gulf of Aden, cruising the most active pirate routes. The disturbing part is they will also issue passengers who can pay an an AK-47 machine gun for extra £5 a day, and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo!Here is an excerpt from an article in Sail-World : The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya. The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates. 'They are worse than the pirates,' said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. 'At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder.'  You can read the entire article HERE.
