I am a newbie casual, but I became interested. What demands, what salary and is the moonshine really that good?
I am a gunner-hopeful, but can spot as an engineer, too.

Oh gods, I've been saving the other one for an offer of a lifetime, so it is not gonna go cheaply.
But yeah, I'll trade you the moonshine for a Claw. ^^

I can announce that the latest booster pack lets me have a full Galleon-poster with Hwacha loadout and gatling/artemis light guns! (If you are into the posters that are more expensive but have slots for "arming" them with weapon- and crew cards).

A little thing that i've been practicing, is hitting the hull, starting the repair CD then chem spraying the shit out of it, it puts the fire out without starting a cooldown

This often makes the difference between death and survival. When I see somebody extinguishing without fixing, all I can do is stare in horror.

Thank you for the tip and shame of not noticing it already. xD

How did I forget limited edition. My bad, then. *faceslap*

Yeah, Spaceman is quite rare, but I have two of them from one VERY lucky booster pack. *pride*
Want to change the moonshine to a Phoenix Claw or do you have any wants?

I have a buffed hull active card I'd be willing to trade for a Keon, I also have 6 howitzers to trade for a Spaceman.

Well, is the hull card holographic? If not, then there's no chance that trade is fair to the other one.

Anybody know the new Fjord booster? Does it have any good ones?

I have two Buffed Hwachas I could trade for three Buffed Echidna Flaks.
Anybody switch a Sgt. Spoon for Admiral Zill so I'd get a Golden Crew?

My first nickname I used for internet gaming was *DUN DUN DUUUUUN* Mill Wilkinson.
It was a random name I generated using Neverwinter Nights' Aurora toolset for an NPC. Then I needed a name for Urban Dead, and tah-da, the name came up again, and has been used ever since. ^^

Some folks you've met, Roderve. I've never had that problem, although I never play pilot.
Once I met a captain who asked whether I preferred sniper or gatling, which was very nice.
I would be last to sneak-peek other people's loadouts and comment on them, that is just plain rude IMO. Only when we have a group that has been pre-negotiated would I see the checking of loadouts as an acceptable procedure. Being rude helps no one. It is captain who decides the ship, tells us how he is going to run it and what is the strategy overall.

You DO NOT slap your trout around thinking you know better than the other guy, sheesh.

Chrinus speaks the truth.

I usually put good captains to the friends list so I have the possibility to fly under them in the future, too. And when I fail under them I feel more guilty than I usually do in other games. It is surprising how well a good captain creates loyalty, even in a computer-game.

Good question, but I think the pirates considered the ones having two patches greedy. There weren't too many patches around, you know.
