    Ship Speed

    I believe the game does an autosave just before every battle. During beta alot of people used this feature to get out of a bad situation. Greg.

    Ship Speed

    The game does get very additive. Sitting in Madagascar is a prime location for snapping up shipping. Pirate Bay sounds like a good campaign for those who are not interested in the economy game. Although you can achieve nearly the same result by taking 'Good Hope' then station about three...

    Ship Speed

    Hello Skull, The wind does vary from battle to battle in the campaign, rarely during the battle. I used to play easy campaign with realistic battle. Sorry just not into the trading think that much. I can remember only one instance were the wind changed velocity during a campaign battle. It...

    Ship Speed

    That sounds interesting. Changing the speed was an issue of the beta. What affect does it have sailing upwind? The devs made a change during the beta which got the frigate speed up-to 3 and 4 knots. But they also tended to sail upwind alot more than I would have expected. Haven't gotten the...

    EIC Pre Order Bonus

    EIC Pre Order Bonus

    Wait till you get a hold of a Frigate. Take Good Hope and station a squadron of a couple Frigates. Save the best ditch the rest. Great Fun. Bleed the other nations dry in short time. Greg.

    EIC Pre Order Bonus

    I would say the game is definitely worth it. I did not think I would get into trading side of the game but it becomes very addictive. I doubt I will be buying it soon because the missus is still a-little pissed about the amount of time I spent 'Testing' the game. I never did get to complete a...

    East India Company, Beta

    I do not have the open beta, and have deleted the previous per the agreement. Mine would not have done you any good. Running the beta requires you to log into the Nitro server. Greg.

    East India Company, Beta

    They may be trying to get a wider audience response. Nitro was solidifying minimum requirements. The last beta build was very playable. The game was very solid through out entire process. Only one or two crashing issues on a couple system during early stages. They were addressed promptly...

    Do Cutters have 1 or 2 masts ?

    Uploaded scans of the internal layout of the ship and Photos of a Model of the Cutter Hawke. The model dates to 1777. The photos show the full sail-plan, though I doubt they ever carried all that sail aloft at one time. There a couple photos of paintings in the book from the same time period...

    Do Cutters have 1 or 2 masts ?

    Files are in POTC files/bumpkin/cutter. Sorry did not get a got copy of the topsail. I will scan one of the photos for a better description. The hull is in two parts. Sorry do not have any tools other than paint. Greg.

    Do Cutters have 1 or 2 masts ?

    From the plans in the book. The topsail should would be better classified a topgallent and be a bit smaller and higher on the mast. The plans show a topsail with a upside down U shape. The top of the U just clears the forestays. The topsail overlaps the course which is mounted just above the...

    Do Cutters have 1 or 2 masts ?

    How does one go about uploading the files. I have the Cutter scanned, and one of the Blanford. It does seem that Cutters can rig and auxiliary mizzen mast with a single lug sail. Though only when they have storm gaff sail and driver boom rigged. Greg.

    Do Cutters have 1 or 2 masts ?

    I agree the mast should be abit farther forward. Cutters carried proportionally more sail than ships of similar size. There is book on cutters "Anatomy of the Ship: The Naval Cutter Alert 1777" by Peter Goodwin ISBN 0851779689 originally published by Conway Marine press and republish the Naval...

    "Sir! It's the Enterprise!"

    She does look sweet. I have got an old book named "Prebble's Boys". It follows the careers of a number officers who served under Commodore Prebble's command/tutelage during the early days of the USS Constitution and the first Barbary Pirate campaign. The Enterprise is listed a couple times...
