Wow, it’s been three years already? Doesn’t feel like it.

Ooh, favorite custom I’ve made….. That’s a tough one, especially if I have to choose just ONE.

For now…… I’m going to say the Carnage.

You can find her in the LE section of Return of Davy Jones in the Customs Database, but I’ll list her here.

Hidden Gold: This ship has 2 additional cargo spaces that may only be taken with…[Read more]

These look a bit under-priced….. Does Cog have any serious negative abilities to warrant such low point costs?

To be fair, I’m guilty of undervaluing cargo as well, but anytime you get as much cargo as the ship costs, or more, that ship is going to be very good.

The way I imagine Conseil working is that he encourages you to use the other named Mercenaries and their linked ships. So for example you put Conseil and Nikos Chelios on the Fathom.

From the Master Keyword list:

Dories
When her linked crew is aboard, this ship can unload cargo at your home island if she’s within S of it.

This could d…[Read more]

What ship does Conseil link to? Dories kind of requires a link to function.

Delahaye’s ability  is intriguing, but doesn’t seem to make sense. How can the ship be on an island without being docked at it? I’m assuming that you meant when this CREW as opposed to this SHIP?

Would the ability of The Kraken and Kray-Kin be considered a direct ability affect or an indirect ability affect, when in the same game as Holy Water/ Davy Jones Heart?

In other words, would the heart/water protect the ship it is on from their abilities? I’m led to believe that it can, but would like some clarification.

Can you play events against ships that are lost inside of a fog bank?

Could you possibly do a video of your custom stuff on youtube?

I’ve wanted to do a video about the custom stuff I’ve made, but haven’t gotten decent footage for it yet.

I have made a tutorial about my general process for making the islands I make. However, I’m thinking of re-making it, since the first video has issues.

My thoughts on the Hercule:

Amiral Louis Cartier (+1 to boards, Extra Action, 7 pts.), Guy La Plante (FS), Mdm Josephine Godiva, helmsman, oarsman.

Interesting, I almost mistook that as the existing ability to  move S after loading treasure. This could be even more interesting if you changed treasure to cargo, and didn’t specify that it had to be the last one from an island.

Hmmmm. If the ships are touching already, then they wouldn’t need the keyword, as they could just explore one another and use the transfer rules to move cargo around. I like the idea of the Cog not requiring contact as previously mentioned, but it could also be exploited that way. Perhaps this could work as the Cog ability:

Once per turn, one…[Read more]

Nice action! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of using the Explosives UT intentionally on yourself…..

How does Homemade Flag interact with ships that have Extended Range? The code ruling is unclear to me.

Haha, thanks for watching!

Almost all of the 3D islands I made myself with rigid insulation foam. The ones I didn’t make are the two that make up the Split Island. Those came randomly in an eBay lot I won a few years back.

Heh, just you wait, you haven’t seen nothing yet. 😀

Yikes, took a wee bit of a break. As recompense, have three helpings! Reports 7, 8, and 9 are now up!

Given the above, and assuming it has the Cog keyword, I’d say that’s a 9-10 point ship, but could possibly be less, given some of the ships the Pirates got such as the Paradox.

Would these new keyword/ship types be specific to a new faction, like the Dutch, Portuguese, or some other faction? If they are, you could make that one of their “defining…[Read more]
