“The SoS is a pure gunship”

I completely disagree.  I think she immediately becomes one of the best hybrids in the entire Cursed fleet, though mostly because they don’t have that many of those.  Having her be from one of the imperial nations was my flavor excuse of making this good of a Cursed ship that wouldn’t normally be Cursed.  XD

The SoS is a pure gunship, one level of something you’d see from the English, or French. Lots of cargo and good speed, a little on the expensive side, but that’s fine. This is worth every one of those 18 points.

The JC is one of the few sips where there is a difference between the Unlimited version and the regular version. I think the UL version is the one with the extra text. However according to the code:

The complete ability text for…….should read: “Schooner. Broadsides Attack.” Certain printings included additional text in the ability box that sho…

I feel that BA shouldn’t have been put on crew, and should have been limited to a ship only keyword. As for it’s mechanics, I wouldn’t change much, but I would (unless it’s been done already) explain what the ‘no other abilities’ would cover. I know that you can’t couple a WH or a re-roller crew with a Broadsides Attack, but you can use it in…[Read more]

I suspect a temporary server issue or some other hosting problem on their end. I’m assuming they’ve fixed whatever problem they had, since I can access the site and it seems to be operating as normal.

This happened at least once before, before the new owners took over, the site went down for a few days. When I tied to access it then I got a…[Read more]

Put Don Osvaldo Guillen on his linked ship, the Santo Columbo. They both have the same ability, so it’s pointless to do it.

As for high impracticality? Try and get all of the WK doctor crew into one fleet. 😀

I think I did once. At the time we had an un-punched Dauphin Royal form CC. I thought one of my brothers already had it, so I traded it, though I can’t recall now for what. It wasn’t until afterwards that I realized none of us had a complete Dauphin, and I was kicking myself for a while. However just last year I think, I was able to score a…[Read more]

“I have mixed feelings about the Combustion and the Flame Fiend because I actually have a similar-ish ship in the set following Seas of Doom”

Huzzah, another set!  XD

I’m eagerly awaiting the next one, since I’ve made a point to NOT look over JW’s shoulder o at his doc for it, since I want to be surprised. 😀

Reading the ability again, I…

I agree with your assessment that the Shrieking and the Heir would be best served in a battle group or formation. On their own I think they would be hard pressed to do any major damage to a ship before being overwhelmed, especially if they were caught by a small formation by themselves.

Of the two, I feel that the Shrieking has a higher upside,…[Read more]

Darren would be interesting to pair with a HI raider that had good to semi decent cannons. That or an escort ship for a raider, since cargo is so valued on those ships.

Jerrison is also interesting, if only for his link. There are a few very good American twos and thees.

Given the minimal cargo space, I don’t think that the Ascent will ever have treasure on her. I suppose there’s a possibility of a UT or two finding their way on board, which would count as a treasure, but again I don’t think the odds of that happening are high.

I’d probably put a captain and helmsman, with an oarsman on her, nice little support…[Read more]

Ooohh. I like those Cursed. 😀 The Combustion seems like a good gunship, even without her extra flame abilities. I’d love to find a way to get an eternal crew on her, to keep her coming back for more, even if she’s scuttled.

Flame Fiend is very cool, though I’m not sue I’d put him on his linked ship. S-Board and boarding in general are useful…[Read more]

These seem interesting, if only for the potential combinations. The Archfiend opens up all kinds of possibilities with his Jonah ability, and with 7 cargo on the Courtship, there’s enough room for all kinds of crazy possibilities.

I think I like Arella Harkins more than Barry. 😀 Her combination of abilities has more interesting potential for boarding related tactics. Whether its crew elimination, gold capture or other stuff like Nemo. Hmmm. I guess she would make a good combination with her linked crew, provided you can get them on a quick enough ship with some ample cargo…[Read more]

“Nice to see that the bored looking dude has made a comeback to something more interesting.”

What do you mean by that?

I mean that his artwork for OE makes him looked bored, in my opinion.

I just think a ship that can teleport is dumb and I can’t endorse it in any way regardless of the circumstances.

Fair points. Just a little too f…[Read more]

Oooh. I really like this pair. A nice gunship and a good utility crew for the Cursed. Nice to see that the bored looking dude has made a comeback to something more interesting. 😀

Anywho, the DP looks like a major headache to deal with, especially when a canceller finds it’s way onboard. This is one ship I’d LOVE to use.

Not a good idea,…

I really like the Stormrage, mainly because I love that ability, though I’ve never been able to pull it off on a large scale. The defensive abilities you’ve built into her will make her difficult to deal with, but her only being three masts is good, since it means that ramming becomes a more viable way of stopping her, along with all S range…[Read more]
