Ok, having had a long hiatus from POTC (been rather illicitely moonlighting with Sid Meier's offspring) I installed the Build12.1 and earlier tonight the most recent Post Build12 mods.
My question is this: Is it possible to turn off the beginning at oxbay? I've read of one person's problems leaving oxbay later in the plot due to random encounters with ships, but this was the first sail, effectively the moment after the annoying Keira Knightly voiceover.
Having decided to start with a nice Brig1 whlilst remaining at level 1 I get sunk inside a minute when the Oxbay French Invasion scenario runs...I cannot see anyway at all to survive this. Even with the arcade sailing on the fact that all 3 french ships are given firing solutions the exact moment you appear on screen/in the water means that after 3 broadsides even a newly fixed ship is in pieces. I can hardly fight my way out when I don't even have time to raise my sails before I sink. Realistic maybe, but ending up in a dingy with 0 cash and the french ships shooting my lifeboat makes the game frankly unplayable.
