    I have a schooner at the moment and 140k in cash - i would like to get a better ship but all the ones i capture or can purchase are less gunned and slower, although with more cargo and crew .. at the moment i prefer the mobility of the schooner as i can almost always get away from pursuers ...

    k - so that will have to wait a little while. Next question .. is there some sort of timetable for the game, in that does the enemy ship size and capability increase over time - as i seem to be constantly running into groups of 3-4 enemy ships all outclassing my one little schooner. Or is it...

    Noob Question

    the more i read up on this the more it seems beyond me, but im thinking that there must be a place to start, something small, easy and hard to screw up... maybe what language is the code anyhow ? does one add new code or just fiddle with existing code? what decompiles and recompiles the...
