Captain's Log
Command a single ship in a colonial-era sandbox where players compete to build fame and fortune on the high seas. Choose from different hulls with trade-offs in speed, durability and firepower, then upgrade rigging, weapons, cargo and crew to suit roles from privateer to merchant or man‑o‑war. Navigate and explore a shared map to find treasure, accept missions, trade for doubloons, and encounter other players and nation‑controlled vessels (Spain, Holland, France, England) as well as pirates and corsairs. Align with or oppose nations to gain perks or incur hostility, engage in ship‑to‑ship combat and boarding actions, and balance risk and reward to amass wealth and reputation.
