Ben started the topic What is the most underrated ship type in the game? in the forum Pirates CSG 3 years, 7 months ago
Just as the title says. You could choose something like 3 masted square rigged ships, but I have a feeling it’s more likely to be something that has a ship-type keyword like 3 masted submarines, or Sea Dragons, etc.
My vote would be flotillas, though krakens might be rising to challenge that.

I pretty much always assume everyone has the correct point total, maybe I’ll start checking/estimating more often haha. Usually it’s hard to tell, but in this case I’m pretty sure he didn’t even have any crew, so it’s kind of amazing he “got away” with it. XD

Woelf,
That makes sense. At some point I’ll playtest the rules I laid out and see if any modifications are optimal. I think it would depend on how dangerous the players want the environment to be. Thanks for commenting!

Because they can only shoot something that’s surrounded, the target will always be within range of every tentacle, and removing specific ones won’t alter its lines of fire any any meaningful way.
Interesting. I was thinking more if the kraken got cancelled, and could therefore shoot at ships it wasn’t surrounding.

Especially for those that remember the “supercollector” Dholub1 from Miniature Trading, feel free to send me any questions you’d like me to ask him. I hope to meet him in Tampa this weekend and we might do a podcast. 🙂

How much does the order of kraken tentacles matter when constructing them? Should it be clockwise from the bottom left corner, or having the middle cannons on the deckplate be the innermost tentacles?

Cool map!
It doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of incentive to cutting through to the lower rings, aside from trying to shortcut your way to an island or to shoot at someone else that’s already in there on the other side. Having a constant “pull” toward the center could help with that, like making each ship roll a 6 every turn, and on a roll of 1 or 2 it immediately moves that many rings inward. It’s probably easier to have that roll at the start of a turn, so the ships can still use their action to attempt to get back out, but you could keep it at the end (or after each action) to increase the risk/danger. Ships that didn’t (or couldn’t) take actions could get pulled in even faster, like 1-3, or just make it an automatic 1 without any roll.

After seeing the 100 point Dragon Fleet, and some minor discussion on Discord, I went and created this fleet.
Nice fleet!! I like the inclusion of so many canoes, and the idea of using the “any canoes” part of the English canoe ability text. I think one of the main issues will be that you must place all 20 canoes at the same wild island. If s…[Read more]

This ship sinks when her last mast is eliminated.
If that ability is cancelled, does the ship sink when the cancelling “resets”, or does it stay afloat as a derelict because at that point, the last mast has already been eliminated (and having it not be cancelled is not triggering the final mast to be eliminated again).
