This is what I'd like to call "Noob's Luck", because last night, something very nice happened to me. So, I get home and play the game. Loaded a saved file. These were my stats at the time:

Name: Will Turner
Rank: An Apprentice
Skill: Skill at Fencing
Age: 27 yrs. old
Health: Fair
Career Start: 1660
Morale: Very Happy
Gold: 13,002
Flagship: Spanish War Galleon of 30 guns named 'Santissima Trinidad'
2nd ship: Spanish War Galleon of 32 guns
Total Crew: 192 pirates

On to the point... out of nowhere a French SOTL, named Preneuse, sails southeast of Tortuga. She was blue, looked rather long to me. I highlighted the vessel, and sure enough it said Ship of The Line. This happened at 11:14pm, not even late by my standards.

I was overjoyed, thinking I'd never see one of these for a long time. Now, England had been at war with France most of the game. I'm with the English, but the French never had a bounty on me. In fact, I was ranked a French Major (and an English Duke), and only attacked Spanish Galleons.

So yes, I engaged her. Mind you, I was a bit nervous. That thing makes turns that I feel betray historical accuracy. Her crew was only 15 short compared to mine. I dismasted her, that only, and won. The battle was slightly intense, cause my flagship took some bad blows to midship, aft, and some on the foc'sle (forecastle).

The time of the capture was 11:20pm. This SOTL was a bit dissapointing. She contains only 40 guns, but has a big crew capacity of 450 men. At 11:22pm, she became my new flagship. I decided to call her "The Valmy 2" in dedication to a four decker ship of line. You can google the Valmy or try wikipedia. She was huge.

So, that was my awesome night as a pirate. Smile

If Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks the universe into oblivion but no one is around to witness it, has it really been kicked into Oblivion?

Let's keep things on topic. Smile

Catching an SOTL is a rite of passage. Congratulations you are now officially a man.
