Xerecs

I will probably take *a few* months off before I post new content and not just responses.

Don’t. 😀  I’ve purposely kept myself in the dark with the next set, so I’d like to see it sooner rather than later.

@xerecs/etc: Making your own custom ships could get a lot easier (and maybe even cheaper LONG term) with 3D printing!  You probably saw the recent posts at the FB group; makes me want to get a 3D printer of my own!  (I’ve already seen 2 recommendations there for printers under $300)

I would LOVE to try my hand at 3D printing ships, not only…[Read more]

(I use the plural form of Shipwright to indicate the ship carries them; this should avoid suggesting that the ship is a shipwright in its own right.)

So….. It DOES NOT have the shipwright ability?

Other than thhat little cofusion, I quite like these “Steam icebreakers”, they don’t seem too OP to me. I’d love to see a rough rendition of what one…[Read more]

I think I answered this on the FB group. But to reiterate:

Between me and my brothers (and for myself as well), we have some of all the expansions, though we don’t have much of SCS or FN. If I had to choose a favorite, I’d probably choose DJC, since the first packs and special boxes we ever got were from DJC. My least favorite might be BC,…[Read more]

I’m down for commentary and for playing.

Since I don’t see it already stated, I’ll ask: May our fleets be mixed? Or single faction?

So THAT’S what was up with Customs Organized. I tried like three times to make my post there, but it kept not showing up. I was wondering what was going on.

OOPS. 😀

Davy Jones was slain years ago, but peace did not come to the seas. Old rivalries and hatred continue to fester, and the Cursed never went away. Technology is progressing more and more with some ships now powered by steam and some plated in iron.

Have you felt it? A tremble in the water, a change in the winds, and more deadly and dangerous…[Read more]

About how rare was the Revenge from SM? Not the 11 point uncommon one, but the promotional one?

I am considering a few abilities at the moment.

• +1 to ram rolls
• +S to movement for the next move action after ramming an iceberg
• Gain a not-free move action after ramming an iceberg
• Gain a free move action after ramming an iceberg

Any thoughts on the keyword idea?

I like that fist option the best, since it would indicate the greater…[Read more]

Yay, another fog-hopper! It’s becoming one of my favorite abilities, after what I did with it in CG3, and my experiments elsewhere.

Skull reaper is kinda weird, but that’s cool, I could see him on a super boarding ship.

I miss customizing, you’re gonna pull me back into that, too…

Yes….. Join us….. 😀

It’s totally crazy how Customs have blown up. I’ve made thee full custom sets, and introduced a new one-off faction in the third one. Ben has made the most I think, which I find kind of funny, since I recall him not really being into custom ships (outside of…[Read more]

“El Cazador”

Constantinople is a bit too powerful as is, but I wanted to share how I had her recorded. I think that she might benefit from less cargo and a slightly lower cost. She is essentially a hoist.

I agree with less cargo, but not so much on the point drop, at least not drastically. I think 17 or 16 could work. Then again, Dromon gives her…[Read more]

I’m really glad a lot of the community and regulars are already registered here, because the spam has gotten bad the past day or two.

Spam bot attack of 2019? 😀

On a serious note, yikes. I hope you’re able to get things under control and handled.

Portugal was an important naval player from the age of exploration until . . . I forget the date, but it was after or toward the end of the Spanish-Portuguese union under the Habsburg monarchs.

Maybe the Anglo-Dutch wars? I’m not as familiar with naval history as some, but the English emerged as a major naval player after those wars, perhaps the…[Read more]

I’d love to see these factions expanded upon, quite a different take on Historical customs. Are more in the pipeline?

Some interesting lots are still up as well. Wish I had some extra cash……

You and me both for the Arabella. A couple other things I’m missing, even though they’re rare include La Victoire and Black Swan. Both Pirate five mast ships, and both have eluded me thus far. One day……. 😀

Hmmmm. This sounds cool and a neat idea, but thee HAS to be an even distribution of factions to seller locations. I mean, a 36 pack box should contain six packs for every faction, to make it evenly distributed, more or less. I’m just worried that things could trend toward SCS levels of rarity and scarcity very quickly, with a certain faction…[Read more]

I just think calling it Hidden Gold would be less confusing, especially because “Galleon” makes me think of ship type keywords like Galley

I agree with Ben, calling the ability by two different names would be confusing, like the Born Leader/SAT situation.

By the way, if you want to use a Custom ability/keyword that I’ve come up with, feel fre…[Read more]
