    Firedrill?

    I think that would be true. What I'd need to do is cobble together a fairly clear draft and it'll be short as possible. My goal will be that the most important things should fit in easy to read type on a single page of printed paper with plenty of spacing! Don't want to intimidate other...

    Sailing under new skies

    That'd be incredible. Look forward to seeing that!

    Ships I am working on.

    Really nice work. Wow, I'm in awe of the models you guys create. The variety of ships in this game is wonderful and really makes it come alive.

    dine with the captain

    The more I think about it the more I think simple is best. Either things are working fine (at least on the surface) or things have just gone to hell. But there'd be an intermediate point before everything goes to hell where a First Mate could warn you about trouble. A captain would generally...

    Firedrill?

    Alright, I'll think about writing up - I don't know about the ultimate Read Me document, but certainly an orientation to help new players like me learn the ropes and, ah, find our sea-legs at least. But first I really need to play alot more and see what else crops up! My existing threads can...

    dine with the captain

    How fast loyalty drops is something that would have to be tweaked and I agree, the idea of randomly rebelling officers was a quick idea that might not be fair or practical in practice. People would need to play and see how they felt about the rate of loyalty changing. But one thing I'm...

    dine with the captain

    What I can do, and do know, inside and out is roleplaying and roleplaying systems both tabletop and computer. So I'd be happy to offer suggestions with the caveat it would just be that. Someone with a more practical head on their shoulders and a better knowledge of the scripting in the game...

    Light Caravel! That was it. A beautiful vessel.

    dine with the captain

    *laughs* Hey, the way I see it a Pirate game without a potentially treacherous crew is hardly a Pirate game right? And I think the idea of sitting around with one's officers is driven by a desire to roleplay on some level. We have these great NPC models and it's always fun seeing them doing...

    dine with the captain

    I know this would probably be nuts and/or impossible but I wonder if there might not be a way for officers on a ship to foment trouble or quarrel amongst themselves. Maybe two of them don't get along (personality could be based on reputation with officers who have similar reputations (Hero...

    Captain's log

    I think you should charge your crew for getting to enjoy such a fun adventure! *nods*

    Captain's log

    Great read, Morgan. I'm wondering if I can sail real time like that in regular Mod Build 13 or do I need another mod enabled? Also I really like Virtual Sailor's idea about an editable in-game logbook. I wonder if there's any way we could do that (and in a perfect world each entry would...

    Questions?

    Just started poking around in the PoTBS information and stumbled across this: <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Sophisticated Missions Our mission system gives you a starring role in your own epic. Each player accumulates a personal supporting...

    Firedrill?

    Storm Helmsman - that's the skill I was talking about. It makes a huge difference! Maybe too much of one. I don't really worry about storms that much now. In fact, there's a temptation to sail into them just to vacuum up all those free experience points for my crew. Also, sometimes I don't...

    Who Will You Be

    If I end up playing I'd probably be tempted to go Spanish Adventurer or maybe navy. Simply because they have the most awesome names and naming conventions. That said, a bunch of my mates are forming a pirate roleplay/PvP guild and I can be a Spanish pirate too. That said it'll take wild...

    Firedrill?

    In my limited experience that seems to bear out. I tried steering into the wind as I remembered that much from "Perfect Storm" at least. No real effect that I could tell. I guess you buy the skill to reduce damage if it's really a problem. Right now I've got a couple "prize" captains (low...

    A Merry Read an Bonney - Reading Suggestions

    Found another good book for people who might like roleplaying as, or just talking like, pirates: <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Introduction to <i>The Pirate Primer</i> by George Choundas Table of Contents: Part I: What To Say Chapter 1...

    Firedrill?

    Just to be absolutely certain I waded back through my manual and reviewed the "readme" files in the game's folder. There's nothing about "C" for health potions (or firedrills for that matter) or "T" for looting corpses! Hmm. Seems to me that a possible menu option to help out other newbies...

    Firedrill?

    You can loot corpses? Who knew? I tried once by hitting the action key and the only option I got was the "talk" to them. "Who do you think you are, Hamlet?" <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Well, good...

    Firedrill?

    I don't quite get how firedrills work. I've taken down my sails and tried to reload my cannons but I'm very unclear if that's what ejecting the cartridges means. How do you get the fires to stop?! I do have the basic ship defense skill. Secondly, I think I saw somewhere that one could...
