perfect shoot action

That needs to be defined every time it’s mentioned in ability text.

Toa Stone is blatantly OP.

Jaconan Backus
Faction Affiliation: Viking
Rarity: C
Type: Crew
Point Value: 4
Ability: All of this ship’s cannons have L range.

Flavor text: Born in France, Jaconan has joined the Vikings after a career with the French and as a…[Read more]

Yeah, Zesk seems like a OP concept.  It’s possible for a 1 master to beat a 5 master in a boarding party, so abilities like that upset the power balance too much and make one die roll potentially far too important.  Plus, the Massacre ability used to be 7 (Diabolito, RotF Blackheart, etc), and even though that’s too high, Zesk’s cost of 8 is l…[Read more]

Can the S-Explorer ability (Once per turn, if this ship is within S of an island, you can mark the island as explored without docking at it. The island becomes unexplored in regards to all other players.) be used by one ship on the same turn that it docks at the island?

For example, a ship moves to within S of a wild island, marks it explored…[Read more]

Well, since you asked, I would like to hear a discussion on various historical ships represented in the game. Perhaps comparing/contrasting their role and setup in the game as opposed to reality. Why some persons or ships never made it into the game. For example, why no HMS Victory or Lord Nelson? Why is the Philadelphia a 2-masted blockade runner…

You make a good point about Tuma; I think 6 points is right though.

Qwayla Montros
Faction Affiliation: French
Rarity: C
Type: Crew
Point Value: 5
Ability: Marine. This crew has an additional 3L cannon that can be used like her 2S cannon, but eliminates crew instead of masts.

Flavor text: One of the few female marines currently employed, Montros…[Read more]

@Pirateaj14, Jean Lafitte, Brettb45: Welcome!  Very happy to have you aboard my new ship here.  XD  I look forward to many intriguing discussions over the years and continuing the Pirates tradition.

I don’t understand those point costs.   Tuma’s regular abilities do come to 7, but that somewhat severe negative ability could certainly be a good reason for a -1.  I think 6 points would be good.  Flavor text is funny in a weirdly brutal way.  XD

Skrall is OP and possibly even broken.  Not only can they use the ability on almost any ship in th…[Read more]

@Woelf: Thanks!  As of now I don’t think there’s a way to quote someone’s post with a button – it’s something I plan to look into.  I had a preview feature installed but it got messy and glitchy, so I deleted that and added code to enable the current Visual editor, which works decently as a preview since you can see what your post will look like a…[Read more]

Oliver Stone
Faction Affiliation: American
Rarity: C
Type: Crew
Point Value: 4
Ability: Helmsman. Shipwright.

Flavor text: Seemingly never satisfied with his impressive handiwork, Oliver Stone is exactly what Preble has been looking for – smart, hard working, and never ready to stop improving the ship he’s assigned to.

Historical Custom of the…[Read more]

@Xerecs: I like the Roxtus fort.  Makeza seems an interesting set of ideas for the assassin concept.  Roodaka seems powerful but a bit strange.  I wouldn’t want to keep track of that ability occurring multiple times… how does it work?  I imagined it like some kind of liquid that gets poured into where the mast is and hardening to prevent any fut…[Read more]

Got another one.  Fruit says “Fruit takes up 2 cargo spaces and cannot be unloaded.”

The Pirate Code says:

-UTs may be transferred between ships like standard treasure (via an explore action), and may be transferred by abilities and effects that steal, take, or trade treasure, unless an ability specifically prevents them from being unloaded or…
