@Robert: Going through your set now!  Here are my rough ideas/estimates on some point costs:
0 and The Fool: are these supposed to be simply negative game pieces? Why would anyone ever use them? Does The Fool’s negative ability apply to ALL of that player’s ships? If so, it is OP in a weird way.

I: 40 (why only 9 cannons?)
The Magician: 11

A strange find in my opinion for 2020… most of OE for $350.  For me, not quite worth it since most of the LE’s and the Zeus are missing.

Can a crew with the Sac ability successfully eliminate themselves to give their ship an extra action?

Beware of eBay listings that appear to sell 24 packs of MI, but you only receive 1 pack.

When I get done with this set could someone help me with point values?

Post it in the Custom Ships thread and you should be able to get some feedback.

@Ben, I sent you a picture of one of my Custom Sets in progress. If you may take a look at it yourself I would appreciate advice.

I hope to have time for it soon.

I prefer Google sheets, especially since it can be shared without viewers needing to download anything.

is there a good point formula I can use for balance?

Some things like that have been created by some folks this year but I prefer to go based on feel, though that’s a lot easier with a lot of playing experience.

You have self created ships?

Yeah it’s fun!  I think I’ve made at least 1600 total custom game pieces between Epic Seas and Age of Sail. (my two sets)

WordPress and postimages couldn’t handle the massive image files, but imgur allowed me to repost Custom Ships Organized Version as it appeared at Miniature Trading. 🙂  (except for the text being a little harder to read)
