Swashbucklers

Since Akella's pirate games are geared towards fantasy rather than historical fact, I guess we're going to have to put up with the lack of realism. They haven't made many changes in the towns guards...
For instance, it would be great to be able to control a portion of your party as in "Operation Flashpoint" (a dozen individuals/vehicles). Also, the lack of keys to control sword strokes or even moving left or right is amazing.
I'd like to see a real naval warfare/trading simulation that mimics the era, with swivels, muskets, pikes, halberds, blunderbusses, muskets, etc. Heck, is it too much to ask for limiting the coverage of your deck guns to just port and starboard (instead of "aiming" a whole broadside at a target 45 degrees off your bow?).
Personally, I'd like to see a mission creator, multiplayer, and the ability to crawl, kneel, and stand, and to freely roam around an island...
Anyway, perhaps in the future someone will create a first person sailing naval sim that is more realistic. More emphasis needs to be on gameplay stability and less on graphics.

Yours, Mike

This waiting is killing me!

I'm slowly getting a bit bored with PotC on the xbox - without the mods it really is just a `half-game` to what it should have been <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p2" border="0" alt="pirate3.gif" />: Seadogs2 will probably be the catalyst to me upgrading my current PC(a P166!!) <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="8)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
 
Oh, Cdre. Will be praying to the Modding Gods that they make Swashbucklers on PC and moddable! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_praise.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="icon_praise.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate_plain.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p3" border="0" alt="pirate_plain.gif" />
