I started playing a new game and St. Martin's and Eustatius were both Wealthy so I beat up on them hard and nothing was coming out as a New Warship (another game that started out with both wealthy pumped out a few New Warships but none of them were SOLs) so I got tired and set off towards Santiago to visit the Baron. On a tip from a waitress I headed south to intercept a plump merchant ship with lots of gold on her when a New Warship sailed up in my view. Turns out it was a SOL! Must have come from Curacao which was also wealthy. I still had my starter sloop so dodging the hail of cannon balls was easy (but man did it look scary coming at me) and I boarded her and threw the old Captain off the ship and took my prize Smile

Cool!
I'm glad you were able to do it!

It seems to me that they usually come from elsewhere when you're working the lesser Antilles.

Barbados, Port Royal, Curacao, one of the French settlements on Hispanola.


Are you using the Lady Pirate mod?
