Thank you Schiavonna, Mot and Captain Qbert for your introductory posts and your interest in what we are doing here.

WELCOME TO THE REEF MATES!

Schiavonna has already provided a lot of good input/opinions and we always look forward to more.

Captain Qbert, Thanks for the additional input to Vincent’s excellent post. We will certainly take you…[Read more]

EDIT: I moved this over to the Introductions and Off-topic forum but I wanted it to have its own new status separately from the main thread. Still not getting the hang all of the clunky word press tools.

I have been to the show at Treasure Island in Las Vegas twice. The first time was years ago when they first opened the place. It was…[Read more]

Tulkas, it was a question I had myself a few years ago so I tested it out.

The answer is no. Once you reach 100 points – that’s all you get, so you can drop, sell, or stash the extra stuff into your ship’s chest. I always get rid of all of the extra unnecessary books and items once I get to 100 – unless its just really cool stuff I like, such as…[Read more]

WOW! Vincent WOW!,

I have thoroughly read your “novel” and I am impressed with both the dedication to get the ideas out there and several that we had not thought about before. This is awesome! Thank you bud! We will definitely do some of the things you suggest.

FIRST OFF though: Let me express my thanks by telling you that with your long…[Read more]

You’re welcome Madz,

So take a look at the different versions of the Black Pearl you see. Most of them are textured completely differently. I left I think only one dark version in the game and it will appear randomly. So that ship is called Armed English Merchantman in the game because that’s what she looks like.

I prefer my more realistic…[Read more]

Look at what I just stumbled across. I have never even heard of this before.

Has anyone played this?

Can someone tell me if its any good?

This looks fun and pretty cool as well.

It’s cheap as heck! I am too busy to give it a try right now with all of the stuff I am working on with our own game, but maybe I will download it for later.…[Read more]

So for those modelers who want to submit Pirates of the Burning Sea ships I wanted to provide the exact contract verbiage as given to me by a dev a long while back and also quoted to me by one of the original modelers.

PERMISSION AND COPYRIGHT:

Here is the deal with PotBS ships:

FLS agreed to create a content creation program for shipmodels,…[Read more]

AGREED!

I am looking forward to seeing more of that model! From the pictures you showed me I think she will be an absolute beauty.

So to your question:

Good question with regards to submitting models for the contest and I just wrote a more thorough response via PM. My thoughts are that paragraph 6 of the modeling rules define part of the…[Read more]

Sorry guys, this has been a problem I’ve been meaning to fix forever. I can tell you with confidence that it at one time was a much larger problem than it is now – and that there are only a hand full of ships left that have this issue. I would guess less than 10.

I would also bet that because Jeffrey has adopted this to his to-do-list, it will…[Read more]

So I am very excited to report an update. The talented modeler Yo Ho Ho has indeed given us his ships for the game!

I encouraged him to enter these into the modeling contest and hope he will.…[Read more]

So just to follow up, this is a topic on the ships we need in the game. If you would like to talk about any of these or have good examples or pictures or information you would like to contribute on this subject – feel free to comment.

The only forum rule I will impose on this is NO FANTASY SHIP discussion – unless its to make fun of them. I won’t…[Read more]

The answer to your last comment is: YES you are correct!

The answer to your first question is: No you didn’t do or say anything wrong. I PM’d you just as you were posting this but will reiterate here – I think it best not to even post there any longer. Simply PM the people you need to communicate with. Best to let him eat static. This will bother…[Read more]

I am actually thinking of making this even more realistic. With the exception of pirate ports, you will have to go to see the port controller first before proceeding to the merchant. In our future cities I think we will have more than one merchant as well. In Spanish cities there will be no option BUT to proceed to the port controller FIRST. In…[Read more]

Sorry, I have to go on a short trip and will be back by Thursday. I have been working on new stories and announcements for a site update/refresh since May but they are not all finished yet. I am about 98 or 99 percent done so I would say to watch for a complete site refresh with new stuff by Friday or Saturday at the latest.

We have incredible…[Read more]
