    Names of your ship(s)

    I have a ship of the line named "Sea Bitch", and Royal Sloop named the "Impatient Virgin" - I saw a `B-17` during WWII named that and always thought it was great. I also have another Royal Sloop called the "Elizabeth Galley" that I took from a series of books on the "Brethren of the Coast" by...

    Post Your High Scores HERE!

    Yeah, I sure wish you got a detailed look at your pirate scores on the Hall of Fame score. What good is being able click on your wife to see your wedding etc while you are playing the game if you can't see it from the Hall of Fame. Say you only managed to take Blackbeard down during one of...

    any other way to make crew happy?

    Yep - attack a town and let your guys get beat up and then retreat at the last minute. I just found the retreat button the other day... DUH! Manual... read the manual Toast!

    How and when to find your Ship of the Line REVEALED

    Not all New Warships are SOTLs. I wonder if I had let it reach the port it was going to, if they would have dispatched it as a Pirate Hunter the next time I attacked a ship near that town. Phew... it was hard enough to tackle that bear when I was ready for it, I'd hate to be chased <img...

    Sid...What did you do??????

    I guess it all boils down to what the goal of the remake was. I'm sure that the we are not the only ones to think of all these points. I'm sure there were meetings galore about game content and concepts in the game design phases. I can't imagine that any of the things you pointed out could...

    How and when to find your Ship of the Line REVEALED

    I have one that appeared in the 1620 era. It appeared as a new warship and was a French ship. I was beating the hell out of the French pretty hard at the time as I has reached French Duke. Funny, I had seen quite a few "New Warships" around, but taking them for Frigates, I let them go as I...

    Sid...What did you do??????

    I think it's very worthy of his name. As a beta tester, I don't remember there ever being any mention of a time crunch with regards to the firaxian language. I am pretty sure they intended it to be that way from the start. I like it. I don't remember time warp in the oringal commodore...

    I'm whooping on the Spanish but they are ignoring me?!

    Yeah, I like that idea Dusk. Start off working towards Spanish rank, then you have plenty of places to stop for repairs once you've turned traitor and are plundering the Spanish main.

    Are Site owners/Beta testers still in touch with the Dev's?

    I'll repost your post on the betaboard Hengist - but I don't know how frequently they are read by the devs... if at all.

    Sid...What did you do??????

    Hey Zignouille, It's a game dude. I hate the Spanish... and I always attack their towns and ships. I love to sack Panama! Doesn't mean I have any feelings towards the Spanish in real life. I'm not saying that my feelings towards the French are any different than your feelings are towards...

    era selection

    btw - the first career you start sends you to the 1660s by default - the next one you start will give you a choice

    Cant find the last fricken lost city

    Fortunatley, each lanmark is unique on that map each one is within visible range from the next. You'll know if you stumble across one. Go get some of your crew killed off and get them happy and start hiking!

    Read 'em and weep boys and girls, 2 Ships of the Line

    I finally got one. It was not sent as a pirate hunter. It was listed as "New Warship" and had a pesky Sloop of War as an escort. I attacked them both and that SOTL was darn near as quick and nimble as my Royal Sloop. Toughest sea battle I have had yet. I am playing in the 1620's at Rogue...

    Useless things?

    What I meant was not so much nationality so much as ships you are more likely to engage in combat with, depending on who you are at war with. Like a Trade Galleon gives you the burning embers, or a pirate hunter in a brig might give you the up the stairs and falling off the back... I notice...

    Useless things?

    Pistols DO have an effect. It determines your starting position. Meaning that if you fire off two pistols at your enemy (which you automatically do at the beginning of most sword fights) you actually start about 2 thrusts ahead of where you normally would. Your opponent is a few steps closer...

    how many crews should the flagship keep for best?

    Hehe - I do the opposite. I keep a maxed out Royal Sloop for combat and some other galleon type for storage and to carry extra bodies for town sacking <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0"...

    Anyway to speed up land battles?

    WOW! Yeah, I'd say that's WAY too slow. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

    Tracking down Famous Pirates...

    The gun starts you a few thrust movements farther than you would normally be, meaning you don't have to hit the enemy captain as many times. Framk - I think for us old players, this game had alot to live up to. I think it did a pretty good job personally, though there are things I would...

    Are naval battles supposed to be in slow motion?

    My battles tend to be faster when I am not in sight of land. I think if you can switch to your chase cam view and see land anywhere on the horizon, you are gonna have some slow down - or if you fight two ships. Add both of those to the equation and things can get sluggish. When I get a sloop...
