clm1977 replied to the topic Would you ever trade a non-duplicate to get something you really wanted? in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 5 months ago
It all depends on which of the two items you want more. If I wanted the other item and valued it more then the item I had, it would be a no brainier.
It is no different then swapping old car parts or any other collectible really π

clm1977 replied to the topic Rules for Thought #25 – Ship-to-ship free explore in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 5 months ago
Are you exploring a derelict ship, boarding an enemy ship, or just transferring cargo between your ships? There should likely be little to explore on a friendly cargo transfer.

I am thinking of using a bamboo skewer on a future for the masts one although the mast tabs into it fine. I just think a skewer would look more like a mast and but almost unbreakable π

I will give it a try eventually, it was just a brainstorm I had on the way home. Those are interesting ships there, mast saccing? I have been working to clean out a space to put a full sized 6 or 7 foot table to make a nice sized playmat π
I will probably make myself a proxy 10 master if my experiments in cardboard ships turn out π

I went back and read that wreck/adrift and i would say yes it is similar, but his seems aligned and part of the players fleet from the start as opposed to a treasure to race/win/fight over.

Starting with the point cost of n/a is because it doesn’t start in any persons fleet so there would be no counting the points in build total. The derelict tag would function more akin to fort gold cost then build points, instead of buying it with gold you would have to salvage it with moves and time. It might actually get fought over while towing…[Read more]

I have not thought much about new custom ships until tonight as I drove home, I got to thinking about possible interesting mechanics that might be fun and came up with this, I tried not to over power it and gave it one faction specific ability. This ship literally starts unowned and without masts and must be towed to a home island to acquire…[Read more]

Cardstock is plenty sturdy at these sizes with the advantage that it doesn’t just break off a tab immediately.Β You need the dense stuff and not the more light cardboard I would assume. A creative person might even be able to modify building styles to take into account of the fact you can bend card stock more.
As for the collectible statement,…[Read more]

What about a way to DIY ships, I imagine some paper printed out and glued to a nice cardstock could make some nice sturdy ships. In fact cardstock would just not randomly break like the styrene… you could not however store it in a cup of water π

Oh, I have parts of DJC 135 super rare Mistwalker, I have the deckplate head and two loops. I am missing the water oval the tail and second card blank.
Either I am needing the tail and water oval of Mistwalker.. or I have the parts available for someone who might need some.

Ahh a parts thread
Biggest parts I am looking for at the moment is a set of empty deckplates for a djc SE boneyard.
And I have a small pile of beaters ships if someone wants them, they are all missing masts or parts here and there.

Hello there,
I recently got introduced to this game by finding a box of ships and cards sat on the top shelf of a local Goodwill. I found the first small storage tote a week back and dug into it sorting and recarding what I could so the mass of ships were not overbearing. It seemed to be primarily davys curse with some mysterious islands. A few…[Read more]
