Captain Plunder

My apologies, I am late to the game…

Ahoy Mateys!

Will someone please enlighten me what the crew, treasure, and equipment do in the game? Aren’t they just chits you place on islands and ships after they are punched out from their deck plates? I would assume their deck plates have the affect of the punched out chits? How does one keep track of it all?

I got the STLs from Vu1k4n’s Thingiverse page. I think I saw you in the comments section of that page.

I saw some of your YouTube videos where you used an Ender 3 to 3D print the ships and a Cameo 4 to print the decals. That is amazing and I envy you Brother! I think I might get a Cameo 4 and some Styrene and try to cut out thd ships that way. I don’t know if you tried that first before 3D printing?

Hi Ben,

I went to the store link to try and find the decals but was unable to locate them. I have STLs for all of the ships but don’t know if they are already scaled to the ships in the game. How do you 3D print PLA? I only know of FDM. Would it not be easier to use a Cricket Cutter instead?

Hi All,

I am not new to this forum but have been out of pocket for a while. I’m back now and it seems that a lot of work has been done to keep this game alive and sailing the high seas! I recently found some STL files for printing all the ships, sea monsters, forts, etc…now if we can just get someone to handle decals? If I had the expertise I…[Read more]

Ahoy Matt!

I agree, it will take some work trying to homebrew the ships for Pirates. I may end up 3D printing my own ships when it is all said and done (with some pre-painted, de-constructing aspect per Ben’s request). When you really think about it, the possibilities are endless. I am still interested in collecting all cards and ships from all…[Read more]

Ahoy Ben!!!

You arr!!! doin a great job of continuing Pirates: CSG here!!! Pardon my frustration and venting. I have noticed that limited time and resources is a big issue with this game. CCG’s like Star Trek are easy compared to Pirates because for the most part they are just cards to represent personnel and ships. Pirates takes a little more…[Read more]

Ahoy Ben!

Pre-painted mini pirate ships that can be deconstructed you say someday, now that would be amazing!?! I would like to add custom bowsprits, etc…?

Ahoy Ben!

Bloodyriz is the scurvy dog’s name. I downloaded his PSD files from Boardgame Geek that are templates for just about everything Pirates CSG. He has templates for 1 and 2 mast ships and 2 segment subs. I wish he had made templates for 3 to 5 mast ships. Now that would have been real nice. I should pm him on BGG and see if will do it.

Ahoy Ben!

Amen, Brother. No assembly required! You would have to print hulls and masts separate though. Oh and you would have to paint the ships too, unless you use brown black plastic for the hulls and white plastic for the masts. That could be a work around to painting just touches of details. Who knows what the future holds!?!

P.S. Thanks!

Ahoy mateys,

I figured it!!! In order to replace an image you open File then Open & Place. My brain is in a pretzel now!!!

Ahoy Xerecs!

Thank you for your thorough reply. I do not know that much about 3-D printing either but I would assume that is the best way to have a tangible piece in your hands. It is an investment to buy one and I do not mind the grass roots approach that WizKids, Topps, and NECA took to make the ships constructible. I am hoping one day to have…[Read more]

Ahoy Xerecs!

Thanks for welcoming me to the site. I am enjoying the friendly atmosphere Ben and crew facilitate here.  Making my own terrain is a great idea and I hope to upgrade to foam islands when I have played for a while. I like the idea of perspective and filling the table out more. I found a trade current in Vassal and plan on using the…[Read more]

Ahoy Xerecs!

What Ben said about posting images in the forum 😉 In reference to homegrown ships, a few questions:

1. How do you do it?

2. What material do you print it out on?

3. How do you get them to print even on both sides say like for masts and such?

I am all about making my own custom ships, crew, and all elements in Pirates. I am here…[Read more]

Ahoy mateys!

I am re-organizing the Master Spreadsheet by factions and if anyone is interested in wanting it when I am done, please let me know where to upload it. I am an Excel freak. I love data and spreadsheets!
