    So... you guys want to attack a USCM prisoner vessel? You'd get some nice booty, and I'd say the guy you free would be pretty motivated to join the pirates.

    Does said vessel agree to the raid? If so, when and where? This seems like a great raid.

    I mean the captain has hopes for this to become a faction at some point, so yeah, the vessel can always get bigger as we get more people

    speaking of that, have you guys worked on the big ship I posted? Soon as I get back home I'll work on it like cray cray, so if you made any change/expansion I wanna see where it's at pls

    If you are looking for any lady pirates Mishka is available.

    Mishka lost her Job at Starshine Cleaning and is looking for a new job. She was a hazardous waste clean up member. Basically getting rid of dead bodies. The company she worked for used the dead bodies to synthesize drugs from the carbon. So if you want a possibly infinite amount of drugs sign Mishka up. Might be able to peddle drugs to leaders of colonies to gain some influence.

    Also, it gives us a reason to be more murderous and bloody IC. Not sure if you guys like this idea.

    Approv'd by me, at least, Kuma!
    Drugs seem like a cool thing, so if the pirates start trading them, maybe it'll become popular.

    Sweet. I was making some guns. Maybe I should make a set to give out as standard issue guns to pirates.

    Pirates aren't really that organized for the most part I don't think they would have matching guns.

    "Unlike traditional Western societies of the time, many Caribbean pirate crews of European descent operated as limited democracies. Pirate communities were some of the first to instate a system of checks and balances similar to the one used by the present-day United States and many other countries. The first record of such a government aboard a pirate sloop dates to the 17th century.[44]

    Both the captain and the quartermaster were elected by the crew. They, in turn, appointed the ship's other officers. The captain of a pirate ship was often a fierce fighter in whom the men could place their trust, rather than a more traditional authority figure sanctioned by an elite. However, when not in battle, the quartermaster usually had the real authority. Many groups of pirates shared in whatever they seized. Pirates injured in battle thus might be afforded special compensation similar to medical or disability insurance.

    There are contemporary records that many pirates placed a portion of any captured money into a central fund that was used to compensate the injuries sustained by the crew. Lists show standardised payments of 600 pieces of eight ($156,000 in modern currency) for the loss of a leg down to 100 pieces ($26,800) for loss of an eye. Often all of these terms were agreed upon and written down by the pirates, but these articles could also be used as incriminating proof that they were outlaws." -Wikipedia

    They were pretty organized. If they had a gunsmith I'm sure they would use similar guns. I was just suggesting though.
