It probs has nothing to do with you wanting to help out a poor dehydrated Sarah of course, right eighth humanitarian?

Lovely!
Weeellll. No, that's not what a SANE captain would like to see, anyway! Running a three decker in this kind of sea under full sails and studding sails? The captain of that ship has got to be totally insane! He's gonna lose a mast or capsize (and lose the whole rigging) if the wind jumps or changes direction too quick.Yeah....that's not what you want to see as the SP for sure
As for the Scarlet Pirate and her lovely dinky little corvette, being chased by that kind of monster would definitely not be fun....
Dolphins already left and thanked us for the fish.Crap, I can't find dolphins! I'll settle for pegasi/unicorn hybrids then.

But aye. HMS Neptune would rather make mincemeat out of the poor SP's little ship. Collingwood and the Neptune are the -big- bads as far as the SP is concerned (or indeed the player is concerned).

Wow! You don't pull punches when it comes to the poor SP's opponents. Lord Collingwood was rightly famous for the training of his crew, and they were feared for their rates of fire and the accuracy of their gunnery.
Definitely an end game boss fight.
My advice if you spot Neptune on the horizon : sail away!
Could we add Robert Surcouf as a main antagonist?
British officer: “You French fight for money, while we British fight for honor.”
Robert Surcouf: “Sir, a man fights for what he lacks the most.”

Comes from years of naval wargaming, tbh. It's amazing how many facts you can store in the deepest recesses of your memory when you're actually playing a game!
To get back on topic, you realize of course that no pirate worth his or her salt would ever go toe to toe with a man-o-war? The potential rewards from such a fight would never offset the losses you would have to take. So, of course pirates would have to resort to sneaky and underhanded methods when dealing with this kind of threat... I'm thinking fireships around 3am when the big bad is anchored in a "safe" harbour...

Oh aye a straight up fight would be mad for her/you. Still sketching out at the mo but defo more a case of sneakiness than straight up shoot it out. Well with Collingwood at least.*bows deeply to the lady, brushing the deck with the feathers of his wide-brimmed hat*

With other ships, fighting and plunder are more of an option. Whether that's you as the aggressor or the defender...

It wasn't the champagne I complained about it was the fact people could smell it on me for days afterwards.
I got accused of being an alcoholic because of that smell.
Nothing at all to do with the Bacardi i'd been drinking.
