    Need for speed underground

    I played it for a while, definitely one of the best racing games I've played for ages. I know what you mean about cheating there Keith, they seem to be able to take corners at breakneck speed. Also the damn traffic always seems to come across right in front of you when you're winning (in the...

    What Are Your Expectations For Pirates!?

    I'm expecting it to be an `open-ended`, `non-linear`, swashbuckling romp on the high seas. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" /> But I also have an inkling that there will...

    Joining the Brotherhood of Pirates

    Hey Quinn, I'm not 100% sure but I seem to recall someone else asking a similar question and the impression I got was the same conclusion you've come to. Definitely something to conisder for a future mod. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif"...

    I fired an officer and he attacked me.

    I think if you've ever killed an innocent (or even if your officers have) once you turn them loose, the officers hold a grudge. Perhaps their memory of such an incident isn't eternal, but I know if I shoot a bystander and then fire an officer, the officer has issues with me for some reason...

    And ultimately we want the winning wallpaper to be the best one possible, so no holding back! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

    The game

    Just for the record Schooner/apirateslife, I think Schooner is a kickass alias for use on a forum like this; I'd stick with it if I were you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

    swap ships in a convoy

    Same manual, just more practice (and hopefully a reliable memory). <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

    swap ships in a convoy

    Not exactly, it doesn't matter about the list order, when you enter a sea battle and you click on a ship to use, <i>that's</i> the ship you will lose if you lose the battle.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

    I enjoyed Knights of the Old Republic, but I doubt I will ever play it again.

    swap ships in a convoy

    If you lose a sea battle, the only ship you lose is the one you were using at the time (so if you lose when using the barque, you'll just lose the barque but keep all other ships). If you <i>do</i> lose you can usually chase down the pirates or whomever you lost to and try again (there is a...

    The game

    By the way, Schooner, don't feel bad about asking questions (I noticed your little ":oops:" on your last post. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink:" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />).

    Cat, that looks absolutely great, but as a desktop background... I can't find my icons! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_eek.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock:" border="0" alt="icon_eek.gif" />

    The game

    Hi Schooner, welcome to Pirates Ahoy! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> The game you're asking about is called "Pirates of the Caribbean" and it is a pseudo sequel to a...

    Davy Jones' Locker

    Someone else actually asked the same question a little while ago. Prior to that I found a cool little site with all sorts of naval terms and explanations and this is what they had to say about Davy Jones' locker: <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div...

    Can't use more of your ships in sea battles...

    Sam, if you've played Tortuga you'll find it's not too difficult to win when seriously out numbered and out gunned (as long as you've got a relatively fast ship). I expect PR2 will have similar (but hopefully more advanced) sea battle gameplay.

    How long will this little competition be running for? I'd like to make a contribution when I've got time to sit down and give it a go, but I'm kinda pressed for time a bit lately. I think it'd be good to keep it running for as long as entries keep pouring in.

    I am beginning a new game - Shall i start it with mods ?

    One thing to keep in mind, Lannister, is if you want to enjoy the game fully, don't rush out and try to beat all the main quests. Sail around, do your own thing, and you'll enjoy it all the more. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif"...

    Best Pirate Game?

    As long as it doesn't flop, I expect PotBS to be the best. If it ends up anything like PotC (except with 1000's of players) how can you compete with that? Of course if you're not up to paying a monthly subscription then it's automatically going to be out of the running for your personal...

    Can't use more of your ships in sea battles...

    Port Royale 1 and PotC both allow for the use of multiple ships in battles. The other ships in PotC seemed pretty useless in my experience, but I recall the original Port Royale sea battles were quite good; that's why I (and many others) were disappointed to hear that Tortuga (Pirate Hunter)...

    These are some cool designs people! Bilgemunky's is my favourite right now, simple but effective. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
