    Major breakthrough with Akella

    Something else you guys need to consider is that Pirate Simulator is apparently due in about a year and is being made with modding in mind. From what I've seen it would provide a better platform than the Akella games.

    US Warship Fires on Pirates!

    Agreed. These days money is shifted by wire or satelite which means you're left to looting a cargo ship carrying widescreen tvs or stereos. I'm sure decent money could be and is being made, but the expenses of the operation and greater exposure due to modern technology means it's a better option...

    Firedrill?

    I've found that occasionally it's better to not maneuver the ship as doing so can create more damage than just letting it be.

    Stuck in Quest: Relations

    I've always changed the flag far outside the island area so it's not a problem of changing it too late. My wealth in this game is poor and reputation pretty standard. I think it's just a bug with the relations or failure to adjust relations based on the flag.

    Stuck in Quest: Relations

    I've got the right island and I used the flag correctly. I'm still a nobody so that isn't affecting it. The problem is the enemy always recognises me. I have the same problem with the French being hostile while I fly a French flag. <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div...

    Firedrill?

    For storms I've found lowering the sails helps sail damage. I'm also pretty certain that the force of the impact on the wave affects the damage of the hull and that sitting dead in the water in the direction the waves are moving is the best way to combat it.

    Stuck in Quest: Relations

    I started a new game on Build 14 and am up to the quest where you have to go to the pirate island to track down Rheims. The problem is that I have hostile relations with the pirates (even when flying the Jolly Roger) and there are no alternative places to moor apart from the port and since I'm...
