So let me know your thoughts on the Phantom

I’m flattered that you remade one of my ships, but dude. 0.0 removing Eternal is probably wise, as well as bumping the cost up to around 26-30. The original version of the Phantom probably should have been around 20, and this version takes it up a notch and half$

Don’t get me wrong, I like this version,…[Read more]

I think what happens to the cargo should be specified to avoid confusion (also removed from play?).

I don’t think it confusing. If the ship is removed from play, so would the cargo, no questions about where it goes or anything.

I don’t think you need the part in parentheses.

I agree. Any ability that affects other ships (unless specified) a…[Read more]

And the points on Christopher seem accurate to me? Not sure what you’re asking here.

just tying to confirm the cost of the Demon keyword. Fear isn’t’ very good the way it is worded or the way that WK priced it. I’ve gotten away with it at 1 point a couple times, but I think its worth 2. Eternal had a couple fluctuations in point cost, but it’s a 2…[Read more]

I like the idea of the Alkahest, putting a twist on the copying ability. That said, I think it should be a couple points more, mainly because of the last line of text and the abilities of Demon.

I think the range of the Agramon’s range should be reduced to a single segment, either L or S. S+S sounds nice, but is tricky to measure, especially if…[Read more]

We’re building toward the finale, Report 16 is here!

If you like it the way it is, then keep it that way. If you want to you can make a more accurate representation of one using the actual name of an Acclamator II. I’ll help ya find one.

“JW Darkhurst”

While I understand your frustration at the Acclamator II’s name origin vs actual ship, what would you suggest that a “carrier” ship even do in this game? How would it/could it work? Since she’s an English ship, I feel that a purely attack-oriented gunship would best represent a class of star destroyer, in this instanc…

WOW!!!! That might be the most loaded ship ever to sail! The Santisima Trinidad has 20 total cannons, AND the Endeavour’s ability! O_O I think 15 extra cannons is the new record, if my English HMS Dreadnought from CG1 was the record holder at 10 extra and 15 total. So that’s up to 40 masts eliminated in one turn! (Just like 40 Blows to the Sku…

Went on a little hiatus, but now we back! Report 15 is now up!

I must say that the Acclamator II’s flavor text confuses me.  I would think of a “full crew” as perhaps 4 crew, or at least captain/helmsman/oarsman for 2 spaces.  Extra weaponry would be equipment or maybe specialists/etc, all of which are likely to take up cargo spaces.  It feels like the ship should have 5 or 6 total cargo spaces, which of…

I think Vendari put this on indefinite hiatus cause he couldn’t effectively run it. I think he posted about it on FB and on Discord. I’m still down for it if and when the ball gets rolling again.

I think he floated the idea of a “VASSAL League” or something along those lines.

You’ve done a TON!  I think you’re at 2 campaign game wins?  That alone is a huge investment of time and effort, not to mention strategic prowess.  All the custom sets, physical customs, custom islands, youtube channel, etc etc….

I suppose, though I’ve been outwitted several times in the games we’ve played. 😀

A thread like this one will be…[Read more]

“Captain Plunder”

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 to glean from your ocean of knowledge, pun…

I like the idea of the Abnegation, she’d be useful as pat of a battle group, not a stand-alone ship. That said, I think she could be a couple points more.

I have issue with the Acclamator II, if only because I know what she’s based off of, and it’s not a warship, but essentially a transport ship. I would have liked to see a larger cargo hold to…[Read more]

@Captain Plunder, firstly, welcome to the site! Secondly, if you really want to you can make you own terrain. Just cut out the shape you want (or trace the shape of an island you already have) color it in, and write what kind of terrain it is. I made several trade current terrain this way before I started using the islands from Spanish Main (SM)…[Read more]

The end approaches evermore, Report 14 is now up!

Maellartach seems priced ok to me, given what the keywords do. This is one of those ships where the speed bonus from Nephilim will need to be addressed. I would recommend reducing her speed to single segments, so that you’re not zooming around at S+S+Lx2.

Moonfire might be too quick.

Backing up to your previous post, I think that the Irondale…[Read more]

We’re approaching the endgame…. Report 13 is here!
