Good stuff!
I managed to get a decent crew together for a galleon last night and we made over 20k in gold. There's definitely some fun to be had with a small group of you chasing down another galleon, running around the ship adjusting the sails for max speed and finally unloading the cannons into them.
Had a couple of memorable moments last night. Chasing down a galleon when the kraken appears so we stop the chase and try and get away from the kraken. The other ship tried to take advantage and ram us but we had one of our guys in the crows nest with an explosive barrel. In the panic of it all he jumped onto their ship, ran down into their cargo hold and blew up the barrel, sinking them and saving us!
Another time we were being chased by a galleon so we decided to drop anchor while we were going full tilt which results in a handbrake turn and us full broadsiding them with our cannons!
Great fun but not sure how long it will last.
