El Ladron was my first pirate ship, it will always be one of my favorites even though it’s not exactly a very playable ship. I love the flavor text it has, it really inspires light roleplaying within the setting.
I, for one, am very excited to try out the alternate game modes. I saw that there was a fleet made for a “rescue the VIP” game, and that got me thinking about how cool it would be if there was a sort of DnD-lite campaign with a narrative involved. The players would try to beat scenarios and the results would change the story going forward. Very interesting indeed!
