do we start with a canoe? ^_^ lovely... like the idea, gettin a better ship if you are more experienced, seems like ''the pirate way'' :-)

It really does seem the pirate way. I mean you can't expect to start out on one of the big ones right off the bat. You have to make a name for yourself, and pillage a lot to earn that next big ride *grin*

Anyone know what you actually start with? Do you have to quest for a starter ship or do you have to hire on as a shiphand first?
Kind of curious how you get the character started.

Ok I did some searching, and I didn't come up with a 100% answer, but I found a bit of info on ships.
| QUOTE | So how do you get a new ship? It's our goal, eventually, to have player-operated shipyards. Until we can spend the time on that system, we've implemented a Ship Deed system, where you can purchase a deed that, when used, adds a ship to your dock.
Let's back up and talk about docks for a moment. Every character has a number of berths in a dock available; each berth holds one ship (of any size). The number of berths available can be expanded, but there's a fairly small cap on total berths any character can ever have.
The dock is an abstract concept; that is, berths are not necessarily tied to any specific port. Not every port will provide access to the dock, but if you berth a ship in St. John's, you'll have access to it in Port Royale.
So back to Ship Deeds. When you use a ship deed, it adds the specified ship to an empty berth in your dock; obviously, if you have no empty berths, you can't use the deed, and will need to sell one of your ships off before you can acquire the new ship.
Before you can purchase a Deed, though, you must be certified to captain that type of ship; you gain these certifications as you reach higher ranks. Without the certification, you can't command the ship, no matter how you acquire it. This is relevant to pirates, but I'll get to that in a minute.
Each career has a list of valid ships. 'Valid' is perhaps the wrong word, though it made sense in the context of the design; a better word might be 'automatic'. When you sink while sailing a valid ship, you reappear (as we've described) in the nearest friendly port in the same ship. However, if you're sunk while sailing a ship that's not valid, you lose that ship, all its cargo, and all its outfitting. When you return to the nearest friendly port, you're put back in the most recently berthed valid ship you own.
The validity system was originally intended to allow pirates to captain any ship they were able to seize, and for which they were high enough rank to have the certification. A pirate doesn't have the 64-gun ship of the line on his list of valid ships. He can captain it, but as soon as he's sunk, that ship is gone forever, and if he wants another one, he'll need to go out and capture it, and he'll have to do that in a smaller, less powerful ship. |
From the Dev log Ships, Ship Capture, and Ship Loss.

Awww and here I was hoping that I could start out being a nooby pirate with a pigeon as a parrot, a few branches as my wooden leg and a log as my ship, oh well still sounds like its going to be an interesting game.

Yeah, parrot poo on your shoulder is so much more aromatic than pidgeon poo.

I found a month old interview with one of the game designers that mentions that "...a new player, starts in a relatively small schooner."

I think its starts out like a log flumes! Just give me a trusty piece of wood, I will cut an opening and use my shirt for sails.
Getting a bigger ship should be easy since any other ship that would spot me think I am some sort of drift wood. Then like a trojan horse I climb out at night and slaughter the crew. Then hoist my jolly roger in a show of victory. That should help me get my 1st ship.
btw...jolly roger is a flag and not what some may think it was referring to. sickos.

Hmmm...seems my plan has a ginarmous huge hole. Wait...I will just time travel to the past and tell myself not to kill the crew but enslave them and make them row the boat to shore. Then I will slaughter them. Then I will find my own sea worthy crew. Wow thats even more diabolical.
