    What is your flagship's name?

    I just got this about a week ago, but so far, i like th find a royal sloop, deck it out with upgrades, and name it Warsprite. But once I tried a captured war galleon, and it was so slow I named it Ruptured Duck.

    What happened? I'm a Bloody Terror

    Thanks. The boys did get a little worked up in Oxbay, and they roughed up some French guards. Well, actually, they killed them. Killed several, before I could get them hustled into the tavern. I'm pretty sure I was at war with the French when I pillaged Oxbay, as I had just sunk the ships they...

    Are MOW's Overated?

    I captured one and transferred the crew of two frigates onto it, then I left the frigates docked at Conceicao and took the MOW to Oxbay, where we sunk the blockading battleship and frigates. Then I took the MOW back to Conceicao and docked it, and took my other two ships back. I'll leave the MOW...

    What happened? I'm a Bloody Terror

    I've been happily knocking around bumping off pirates for various governors, collecting acres and promotions, and talking pretty to several governors' daughters and nieces, and all of a sudden, I'm a Bloody Terror and a Dreaded Pirate. I haven't blown off a loan shark (never borrowed any money)...

    What ship do you think is the best

    I edit the build setting to start with a gunboat and minimal cargo. I did edit the gunboat's cargo capacity so I don't get that "you don't have the capacity" message from store owners quite so ofter, although I still get it more than half the time. This makes taking escorts relatively more...

    2nd Chance?

    I have played Xbox, unmodded PC and the build. Given a choice between unmodded PC and Xbox, I'll take the Xbox hands downs due to the better controls and being able to sit in the recliner and play. But put the build into the mix, and even sitting in the recliner begins to pall. Some of the...

    Character

    My kid likes to play as the guy in the tricorn hat and black uniform coat (Corsair1_1), so I hardcoded that as a start instead of the bathrobe (but I can't remember where right off hand). But when I start, I head straight to the tailor for the one that looks like Ewan Glover (will2), then I use...

    Musket volley

    Oooh -- that's way big! Kind of like playing while looking through a venetian blind. I had to put it back 'cause I was getting whupped on account of not being able to see my guy. Thanks. gonzo

    Musket volley

    Cool. I've been missing that message. I guess I'm going to have to start playing this with my glasses on so I can read that log. Thanks. gonzo

    Musket volley

    I hope this is an Ok forum for this question, and if not, my apologies. How does the muskey volley ability work? Is it supposed to show up on the Use Ability menu, or does it just happen when you board? Thanks. gonzo

    Favorite Ship Names

    I always name my main ship the Ruptured Duck and sometimes I call my second the Split Infinitive.

    What's your favorite ship?

    My favorite ship is the one I just stole, whatever it may be. But I'll admit to a certain fondness for that light frigate, and also for the xebec CT. That xebec kicks ass if you can capture on early. (I'm far too cheap to buy one. I'd rather spend the money at the blacksmith and on rum.)

    Poll WHAT TYPE OF SEA DOG ARE YOU?

    I picked the Irish Sea Dog, not so much for the whiskey, although that's a nice perk, but because I pretty much wander around where I please, raising a little hell here and there, just doin' what I wants.

    Funny number with build 12

    Thanks to all for the help, and special thanks to Catalina for that Malcom dialog code. I would have never found that. Although for now, I just hard-coded Corsair1_1 in place of that Animist bathrobe, I'll eventually identify the ones my sons and I want and will code them into that dialog. I'm...

    Funny number with build 12

    Thank you, Catalina. You were most helpful, so of course, I am going to impose on you for some more information. #1 -- Cargo quest bonus -- I think you're right about the effect of the extra cargo, because I had it happen again, although not to as great an extent. #2 -- Way too much starting...

    Funny number with build 12

    I got some funny numbers in a couple of incidents, and I thought I'd pass them on in case anyone would like to either explain or comment on them. Funny number incident #1 -- I was sailing a war schooner and schnyava out of Conceicao with a 23,000 cargo drag for Douwesan. When I sailed to the...

    Mission in Oxbay, ship in Redmond?

    I'm playing the unmodified PC version as well as the Xbox version, and it does this every time. I'm guessing you followed the main quest early, captured the Oiseau, then went on the escort/Tobias quest, so that second ship is the Oiseau, which doesn't stand up at all well to frigates...

    Liberated Oxbay all alone.

    Thanks to all for the info. Installing the build has been on my list of things to do for some time, but I wanted to beat it once on the PC using the plain vanilla version. (I have beat it once on the Xbox before buying the PC version.) But I keep starting over because once I get the Mephisto and...
