I'll create the game and send it off to Wumpus for fixing.

Ahh, nothing happened yet, cool. I was out of circulation over the ultra-long weekend because some clever cookie came to work on Maundy Thursday with some cold or similar and left me in bed all the nice weekend... GRRR...!

Once he's done I'll send the files to Ron & request a forum. While we're waiting for the game page to go up, I'll announce the initial Pirate tech levels, do some testbeds to check the starting ships & prices and finally announce the initial prices.
2400 Pirates' starting ships will be built and design/cash specs sent to pirates. Rules/How to purchase ships/Pirate techs etc posted in game forum.
2401 Ships are transfered.
2402 Starting cash is loaded.
2403 Pirates are go!
2404 First purchase orders arrive Laughing

There's no paticular reason to go this slowly; eg you could load the "starting cash" and transfer in the same turn.

Technically I can even make all of the pirate's starting equipment be ready and in their hands at whatever locations in 2400, but that's mainly a consideration that might be interesting for "next time", since it's a *lot* of work at the moment. Still, it's possible.

But perhaps there's a reason for the slightly slower start that is mentioned earlier in the thread that I haven't caught up with yet.

Quote:

To help encourage pirates, I'm also thinking of some bonus goals/other mentions I can hand out. biggest single haul, shortest lifespan , most G, biggest bribe, biggest buried treasure(dead pirates only). Other ideas welcome Smile

Many of these will need reporting, since I'm not about to go scouring through every game file looking for them. (and "1st HW raid" is not going to be awarded Laughing

)

And since we're talking about pirates here: Most heavy handed and most subtle? Smile

IE the pirate who is most succesful in battle and the pirate who most succesfully avoids even being seen or whatever. But... hmm... you'd need to quantify those factors. Still, thematically I think they'd be nice ideas Smile
