I guess it's not helpful, but I think the color really pops on that black background. So I prefer the first.
The second is much more piratical looking. Perhaps some color, such as the plume, and some brass for the sword hilts? |

I prefer the second one. The first one looks too much like a modern biker jacket with the flames etc. _________________ It is much better to be armed with a sword that has two edges than with an estoc [...], which is nothing more than a stick with a point.

Thanks to all that have replied so far. I guess that's what makes modding for a pirate game so hard. Either you go the proper route and keep it as though your really back in the 1600's or you put a modern twist like naked women or bikini girls. Maybe MC colors or Heavy metal art on the jackets. I am working on a Caribbean project after moving on from the East Indies and trying to get a feel of what others might want the game to be like. Modern twist mixed with old school or strictly old school? I have ideas like turning the trade items Sugar, Luxuries, goods, etc into illegal drugs. There is no end to what could be done but as I said before I'm just getting a feel of what is wanted in the game. By the way I like both jackets. I think the second one is better suited for old school pirate game. It looks good and the second one I like too. It's a skeleton ripping out of the uniform from what looks like Hell fire inside. Certainly not going to see that on a dude back in the 1600's but it sure looks good. |

I guess I have to admit that I pretty much like it all. Any little twist keeps the game fresh. |

Henry Morgan has a nice harem.
Regarding "I have ideas like turning the trade items Sugar, Luxuries, goods, etc into illegal drugs." I suggest tobacco, rum, and either cacao or coffee. |

Well I believe I've used tobacco and rum in the East Indies and may use those again. I thought of everything including drugs knock off Rolex watches or just about everything a bad boy might be involved in. Seems down the middle and not getting to wild may be the way to go. |

Probably so. I wouldn't want o play Grand Theft Sailboat.
The distraction of nudes in the ballrooms does increase the difficulty. I appreciate that. Your various jackets are works of art in and of themselves.
Have you made many sails? |

Thanks Fleet and Rusty. I don't expect people to agree with all my craziness so your feedback is certainly most welcome. After all if I expect people to want to play it then I need to get a feel of what's cool or not. I was simply thinking it would be funny to hear the bartender say the best play to sell the pecription pain pills your hauling is right here in Hell but that would indeed take away the realistic time era of the game for sure. Sure I've made tons of sails but most of them died on my last computer but certainly will be making more. What's cool for sails? Advertising logos like Burger King, coat of arms, naked women or what? My favorite one I made before was the she devil. It really stood out. |

If I was to replace both the male and female ballroom dancers with naked women would that be going overboard or did I hit this one dead on. It would make dancing harder for a while anyway. |

I had a nude of a certain plus sized model as a sail emblem (removed it when kids wanted to play Pirates on my computer), now I can't find the mod.
Replacing the male and female ballroom danced with naked women sounds good to me. If you decide to make such a mod available, please include "not safe for work" in any announcement post.
Very respectfully,

Did you make the mod yourself or did you get it from someone. If you know the image source it shouldn't be hard to remake. I'm leaning keeping my Carribean mod more period correct without alot of modern stuff since I'm getting a feel that's probably not going to work for must folks. One exception I think is the women. I think when it comes to them people don't mind going more modren. Keep the game with a Pirate feel to it with lots of women could be the way to go. I certainly plan on making those dancers. That and the ballroom pics will increase the difficulty.. |
