This is an awesome idea my friends and i have been making custom crew of eachother for a while

I sort them by nationality then ship type so I just look for the flags and ship type I want exp.pirate 3 last gunner I have a lot of those but now I only have to search through 20 ships and not 100+

*puts hands in pockets and anxiously looks around* I ALSO DONT KNOW IF THERE IS A 3RD PARTY…

I like the idea of using flat cardstock of the propper shape to represent sunken stuff that would especially be cool to be underneath a fogbank or mabye iceberg.

Those are some great shirts!

I love this idea, it reminds me a lot of mysterious islands but way better.

Yeah that musketeers is a man of many hats, I have a few oarsman explorers lol

I should have been more clear that by raking I mean pulling up to a ship in L or T position and targeting the stern.

I see where your coming from xerecs but there are lots of obvious balances to be made I cant remember names but there is alot of ships that have the exact same stats but one has a lower cost or a much more useful ability and the same cost.(the former is much more jarring to me than the latter)

Raking could give -1 to connon roll and deal 2 masts if you can shoot their stern, I think a crew with that ability would be nice and cheep or maybe just beef up the cannoneer

I HATE meta gaming and I feel like one of the best ways to avoid it is by nerfs and occasional buffs for example why not try costing musketeers at 2 and helmsman at 3?

Ever since my group saw the unique crew trevor(spacing on his full name) we decided to make musketeers 2 points not 3

This is one of my favorite ways to build fleets i also like to have everyone choose 1 ship then the next person does the same ect…

Sea dragons can be powerful but I haven’t gotten to use mine yet

I like that idea, this may be off topic a bit but my group has been developing an additional rule. I kinda ripped off carbon Charlie in that you can spend a gold coin when docking to repair an extra mast so that could be used in conjunction with your mercenary rule.(thematically its like hiring more builder or maybe just paying them to work overtime)

I love the treacherous waters idea!

And to Ben I would turn that into a fortress I dunno why or how it just screams fortress to me

Oh yeah for sure if I was better at making ships I would play a whole fleet of my own design lol

I totally agree that its a nice freebie

I just got my own Caesar in my recent order 😀

In a heartbeat I would trade nearly anything for a ten master, switchblade, kraken, bombardeir,turbine or hoist. My reason is that I don’t have a single ship with these designs. Im not so much a stat guy since I can play with whatever stats I want but i can’t change the shape of the models.
