Would that seriously affect the point cost?

Without seeing the other ship/abilities I have no idea.

For the Serenata, I was saying that the ability should only affect stuff within S.  The speed of the ship is fine, it’s the ability that makes the original OP.  If you leave everything else the same and do “One friendly ship within S of this ship g…[Read more]

I don’t think people will learn to associate the letters “PTSD” with your custom set.  I would use “SoD” for Seas of Doom, or PotSoD.

El Resuelto’s second ability seems pointless when the first sinking gives her rank-1 cannons for (presumably) the rest of the game.

Friendly ships within L of this ship get +S to their base move.

This is simply…[Read more]

Would you consider a ‘fleets’ section like MT, or would that be difficult to implement; or just isn’t high on the priority list?

Just like a trading system, that would come after a database and as a result of one.  A searchable database would be key in making a fleets section, but therefore it’s unlikely to happen yet.  In the meantime I plan to…[Read more]

I think though, that putting the scans out thee would have to be fee, otherwise you’d have creators competing with whoever was selling the blank packs.

Perhaps, but demand for blank cards wouldn’t have to diminish due to custom creators.

you could have custom designed ships become part of the official game

Indeed, but I see this as an “anything g…[Read more]

I’m seeing some decent lots that might be worth a look.

Couple faction lots: https://goo.gl/GVC3PE

Punched Pirate lot, says 94 ships for $60: https://goo.gl/Wh6UBJ

BIG but expensive lot: https://goo.gl/ntjEpa

-I would ask the seller if the Celtic Fury has all cards.  (also can’t tell if it’s a full SS SR pack, could be just the Honu Iki)

The custom  potential would be though the roof, not only with artwork, but with cannon ranks and whatnot. It’s too bad something like this didn’t exist, would have made my day a lot easier.

I just thought of something with cannon ranks and other similar things – sticker sheets in each pack or box for things that are extremely common.  For examp…[Read more]

I would like to see a “generic” sailing/warship art for the cards and then the player would fill in the name, cannons, cargo, speed, & ability(s). Add up all the factors and there is your point value.

That makes sense too, and reminds me of VASSAL.  There you simply have a generic ship template and fill out the stats for each.

I could see a blend…[Read more]

The automatic/mandatory unloading as home has brought up a few issues over the years (mostly when interacting with a few key abilities), so I’d rather that rule get scrapped entirely.  Make unloading require an actual [explore?] action instead, or at least make it something that has to be actively triggered by a player beyond just ar…
