Cool link - thanks.

I've got to be honest - that looked da bomb!  :notworthy:

If they make a pirate open world RPG style game like Far Cry or Wildlands, then this could very possibly tickle me fancy

Piracy game.

     I'm always amazed to see people go to a lot of trouble to seemingly model sailing ships and then give them power steering not to mention
guns that would capsize them or crush the deck.  And why would they need a whole battery (and what pirate ever had a ship with more than 40 guns? -- none, not one -- these guys have 3-deckers with over 100 guns all over 24 pdrs) if one hit will completely disable the enemy?  Never mind that just carrying what they are that high up would be the end of your own ship long before you brought them to a rocky coast for which you should be hung just for approaching -- never mind being a pirate -- they should all be hung for endangering their ships.

It's a game - not a historical simulator  :P

Seriously though - it is a game.

At least they captured the historical accuracy of all the hot women pirate captains.  O0

Kind of interesting that this will be set in the Indian Ocean, but my head is thinking "Wait, does that mean this is a coastal game? Not many islands out there -- Ceylon, Socotra if that even counts as Indian Ocean..."
