    Master Caution

    My real world affairs are no longer for anyone on this site to know - so long as some moron thinks my Build related feedback in the Build forums is a farce and decides to make fun of it instead. Not the first time, and definitely not the last, which is why I'm soon giving Pieter instructions to...

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    It would be interesting to take your after action reviews to note what was broken and where, and get the persons with coding ability to work on those issues real time, but unfortunately with the current development ethos (or lack thereof), that's never going to happen until May. It's a pity...

    Some Bad News on My Part

    Which brings us to the points Pieter and I discussed back in late December - Pieter's temporary absence is an impetus for the rest of you/us to generate greater, not lesser, achievements. Time may be an issue for most of us but motivation does tend to overrule that shortcoming. If we all wish...

    Patch?

    Soon. It's not February 28 yet, or whatever is the end of the month.

    Build 14 Beta 1 Feedback

    Historical East Indiamen weren't prized for their speed, sailability or durability either... But they had plenty of firepower and that got somewhere!

    Why the hype??

    Thats the holier-than-thou lack of diplomacy that caused me to stop contributing to development in a heartbeat. Thanks for reminding me of such. Steven's points are completely valid, this is a dated game engine and no amount of love and attention can cure some of its major flaws, but, as the...

    Question of the day

    A full ship rig also includes jibs and/or stays flown as specified by sail-plan or need (assist with upwind sailing / tacking?), with a fore-and-aft spanker on the mizzen (for maneuverability?) Some qns of my own: I've recently got a nice explanation of the difference between a Snow and a...

    Jack Aubrey's first own ship, the HMS Sophie

    Good info; I always wondered what was the difference between the a snow and a brig.

    Chinese location and ship discussion

    People in the East Indies must have once found it wierd to observe Spanish and Portuguese ships hovering off their coasts. Chinese ships have operated within the same theatre on a regular basis. I believe shutting down my discussion before it even starts is an act of bad faith.

    I may be in Port-au-Prince for the next few weeks.

    Nothing ever is pretty - not even peacetime with all luxuries at our fingertips. It's the understanding and appreciation for all basic needs that draw my heart to disaster relief efforts. By the way, by the time you return, do not be surprised if I decide to make a move to another web...

    Chinese location and ship discussion

    Current wants are irrelevant when the objective is discussion of possible future needs.

    Chinese location and ship discussion

    No news on the junk, so let's add some (possibly near) future discussion: Far Eastern Pirates expansion? In the 15th century onwards there were some incredible naval battles between Korea and Japan. Korea fielded large, durable, slab-sided shallow-draft ships called panokseons heavily armed...

    I may be in Port-au-Prince for the next few weeks.

    Y'know if things worked out better in this part of the world I'd be the first to volunteer for nonprofit disaster relief ops. But unfortunately I'll have to live with conveying hope on msn and some online games my girls frequent. Put a few smiles on those Hispanic lasses for me :3

    "Where is Pieter?"

    Since we're on the subject of stalking Pieter, we should put the Maasdam into the Build mod as an easter egg :P
