    Ships I am working on.

    This isn't quite as important as it would be in real life, but those two new cannon you added... it wouldn't be wise to add them. If fired, there wouldn't be enough space for recoil.

    Pirate Film Music

    Perhaps we should use it in a scene like so: DMC......................................................................HTC Lord Beckett and troops rowing ashore...............An anchor being drawn up out of the water, sails being set. Troops marching through streets of Port Royal....Seamen...

    Pirate Film Music

    Remember the opening scene in DMC? Beckett's troops rowing ashore, the mother pulling her child inside, the door shuts and Beckett rides down the length of his troops... that music was amazing, shame it wasn't in the soundtrack. We should use that, but later on when the EIC becomes something...

    Getting Interceptor into the game

    Aye. Maroon is very different from red. And yes, my schemes are about 1790 - 1815. The schemes were pretty close in the 1760s-1780s, but there were minor differences. For example, RN ships were still black/yellow in 1778, but it was a yellow hull with black whales and blue on the forecastle...

    [i]Ideas for a Master and Commander Quest[/i]

    Well, I like the idea, but there are details... The <i>Sophie</i> is a 14 gun quarterdecked brig/sloop... hardly the <i>Endeavour</i> model that came from VC. Are you talking about the <i>Interceptor</i> model perhaps? Master and Commander is the long and official rank that is almost always...

    Pirate Film Music

    I think the film should start with a lot of "proper" music, like the Beckett theme that uses the harpsichord (sp?) and all, something that sounds large and grand. But as the movie continues, it grows darker and more closely sounds like the EIC themes we here in DMC and AWE, giving the effect of...

    Hmmm.... I can see the blue, but why did they do it? The RN is black and yellow-ochre... Do what you will with them, but I personally think that we shouldn't use the blue/yellow... just doesn't seem real to me.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Community Prequel Script

    Yes... then we could have Sao Feng and the <i>Empress</i> cross paths with Jack then, to preserve the coolness of Singapore in AWE. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":))" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" /> And yes... apparently Jack has something...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Community Prequel Script

    Is there an opening for Jack to go running off to Singapore? If not... would there be a place to insert an excuse to go to there?

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Community Prequel Script

    That and I'm sort of telling Mr. Gibbs' story in my Norrington books... So two "must-haves"... Anamaria and Sao Feng! (I really expected some more from him in AWE, thought that as a Chinese pirate we'd see some intense Asian swordfights... but no. We must fix that.)

    Pirates of the Caribbean: Community Prequel Script

    We might want to be careful with barbossa in this prequel. If we do something like a tavern scene showing Jack hiring Barbossa at the end of the movie... it would look like a play on the final scene of DMC. We need to introduce the "good old boys" of the movies, like Barbossa, Gibbs, Pintel...

    Getting Interceptor into the game

    What is this blue and yellow everyone's talking about?! I don't see it. I've never seen a painting, read an account, or seen a model where the whole ship was painted blue rather than black (besides some of the light blue trimmings up top). Does anyone have a clear photo of this? I'd like to see it.

    Three New Islands on the Worldmap

    What about an American island, since we're focusing a bit on the Napoleonic stuff right now? Now i know we really didn't have stuff in the Caribbean, but if we're including Americans, we'd need to represent in some way? Aye? We could even share the island with the French to make it believeable.
