You've seen them pillaging around our Parks and in the movies - now meet real live Disney Pirates in person! Celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day with the Pirates of the Caribbean Online Game Masters! Meet Captain Walter, leader of the Marceline Guild, the Privateer Xavier Hench, Ruby Wynn - and a whole crew of rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves!

They'll be telling tales on the beach of Devil's Anvil from 10 AM - 1 PM Pacific Time, September 19, 20 and 21. Learn about upcoming curses hexing all Caribbean inhabitants, information on Quests, and tons of other news gathered in the Caribbean! Click here to view schedule.

GM FAQS:

What are GMs?

GMs or Game Masters are Pirates of the Caribbean Online staff that are playing the game as Pirates, just like you.

What do GMs do?

GMs offer you a chance to interact with Members of the Pirates of the Caribbean Online Crew. Host GMs host events and keep tabs on what's going on in the Caribbean, other GMs may take part in a storyline or other type of event. For the Talk Like A Pirate To A Pirate event our GMs will be sharing their favorite Pirate phrases and telling tales of curses to come.

Can I become a GM?

Currently, Disney staff are the only Pirates allowed to have the GM tag.

How do I meet a GM?

Look for the skull and flaming torch icon over the GM's head, walk up and say hello.

Can a GM help me with a problem?

They'll certainly try, but the best way to get a problem resolved is to contact our Customer Service or Live Chat for technical help.

Chris 09-19-2008 01:21 AM

There is a link to the scedule and i updated the 2nd post with the scedule.

PirateMarioJr 09-19-2008 01:22 AM

So they won't be on the test server?

Your Gladiator 09-19-2008 01:27 AM

yeah me to of my pirate account that was messed up by maintanance and cant get on it anymore!

yeah it would be cool rofl

Dr. Zeppers 09-19-2008 01:47 AM

Interesting. Sounds real cool.

But im wondering just how much any of these people will be able to:
A. Tell stories
B. Share phrases
C. Help someone or answer questions.

Because they are only (based on that schedule) going to be at any one given spot for 15 minutes, then off to a different server.

Seems like they should use fewer servers and longer times, but hey, will be attempting to find one O them Saturday mornin :)

monkeefriend 09-19-2008 01:47 AM

:skull: Ahoy Mates! Ortin` ta be interestin` an` sounds pretty cool. i ortin` ta be able t` make a couple o` times listed. Tales o` th` caribbean, wannions an` hexes woohoo! i bet some o` us can teach them a thin` or two about this game aye..lol Devil`s Anvil be th` place t` be if ye want t` meet these buccanneers i presume aye? wonder if we`ll meet them else `ere slayin` some navy or sinkin` ships on a crew? I be sure thar be lots o` questions bein` asked o` these GMs. lol :) Arrrrr

thanks t` gentleman o` fortune translator haha

plunder on, Grace Squidkidd :piratewheelgo2:

Edward Edgemenace 09-19-2008 06:40 AM

Doesn't sound like a very good use of their time. Nor mine...why would I want to hear them retell an essay like "Rise of the Privateer" in broken chat phrases?

Oh wait - seeing them struggle with the chat actually *would* make me laugh quite a bit. I wonder if they'll reschedule the event, when they figure out that 2/3rds of the attendees couldn't hear them ([+] chat only!) I can just see the Q/A session now:

Q: What level does the Harrow voodoo staff unlock at?
GM's A: <no response>
Q: You can't tell me the level?
GM's A: Sorry, I guess you didn't hear me. The numbers must not be getting through. The Harrow voodoo staff quest is unlocked at staff level won ive.
Q: I know you've probably won it already...but c'mon, what level?
GM's A: won hive
Q: Hive? Aren't those called guilds here? How would a guild win me a special staff?
GM's A: on live
Q: You are making less sense each time, dude. I can find the answer on live chat support?
GM's A: zero won to tree for hive sick even ate nan ---- won hive
Q: Oh! You are from Japan? OK, let's see if I can work out the Japanese grammar. A Japanese zero pilot won a trip to see a tree, but there was a hive in it and he ate it but got sick. The emperor rewarded him with another hive. Hmmm. But what does that have to do with the voodoo staff quest?
...

Rackat 09-19-2008 12:02 PM

Me: Good day, sir. Can you guys please fix the arrr floating NPC's?
GM: What floating NPC's?

The "Japanese Zero" thing? :shrug: I hope no one finds a way to be offended by that. Extending a clue to a linguistics feature isn't something a person rightly COULD take offense to. Or was there something there I said that wasn't intended? If so, I'm still missing it now.

Maximvs 09-19-2008 03:15 PM

I will not be surprised if on "that day, on those servers at those times" - the filter "magically" get turned off for those few minutes... :D

P1: "Will You Be My Friend?"
GM: "Hi, I'm one of the developers..."
P1: "PLEASE?"
GM: "Sorry, we do not play the game usually"
P1: "PLEASE BE MY FRIEND"
P1: "PLEASE BE MY FRIEND"
P1: "PLEASE BE MY FRIEND"
P1: "PLEASE BE MY FRIEND"
[GM Logs Off...]

P2: "Will You Be My Boy/Girl friend?"
GM: "Im afraid personal..."
P2: "PLEASE? You Look So Nice!"
GM: "Personal int..."
P2: "COMMMON!!!"
[Gm Logs Off...]

P3: "Why can I not say arr the ship?"
GM: "Pardon?"
P3: "You Know arr the ship?"
GM: "I'm sorry can you use another word?"
P3: "D"
P3: "R"
P3: "I"
P3 "V"
P3 "E"
P3: "or"
P3: "S"
P3: "T"
P3: "E"
P3: "E"

Maximvs 09-19-2008 04:27 PM

On a more serious note: :D

I don't know how they expect GM's to speak when you get 50-75-100 pirates on a small island and start talking - the Chat Window alreay has major drawbacks so unless theres gonna be a 'special tab' added just for GM Talk or Everyones Chat will be disabled on the island for that time frame they are talking - the chat window will be going so fast with all the different chatter you'll never see anything they say...

It should be interesting just how they plan to say all this stuff without interruptions, and in a big enough window they cover everything in 12 minutes (since each visit is 15 minutes long - they will ned a minute or two to set up on each server as they TP'ed around... gonna be interesting).

As a final thought - I think it would be better to get to a server 'ahead' of them - and wait for their arrivial... its the only way You'll ever even get close enough to see them (docking at the island to appear in a mad sea of pirates will be wild...)

Hres a final thought PS... I own a pretty kickin' computer but even at parties of 50 pirates I tend to lag a bit... whats the Lag gonna be like at these places??? That alone cold be a whole topic...

Theres my thoughts for the moment... :D

-----

Just to save a post for Edwards Question below: I figure that since each GM is only there for 15 minutes - you'll be lucky to get three words in edgewise before they TP - so P2 has to skip the foreplay and go right for the big question LOL! :D

Won't P2 start by saying "kin i ax u somthin?" or "ur cute" or did the protocol change?

Andrew 09-19-2008 04:34 PM

Sarah 09-19-2008 05:48 PM

I just want to see pics! Should be a mass of pirates there, and i want to know how well the dev's are dressed ;)

Take screenies if you go folks!

Captain NightWolf 09-19-2008 06:05 PM

Player to GM: can you take us on a cruise to Isle Tormenta?
GM: Sure mateys!
*everyone boards*
Player 1: Are we there yet?
Player 2: Are we there yet?
Player 3: Are we there yet?
Player 4: Are we there yet?
Player 5: Are we there yet?
Player 6: Are we there yet?
Player 7: Are we there yet?
Player 8: Are we there yet?
*GM runs and logs off*

:psmiley35:


Seriously though I would have to agree...15 minutes per server or location is just not enough time to truly meet and greet the masses and gather feedback...plus enter the equation of them becoming overwhelmed by the sheer amount of questions tossed their way at the same time while trying to answer said questions in the time period given...

If anything each GM should choose 1 server to call their own and just spend a day on it meeting and greeting the players...would be more productive and give better feedback me thinks...

Edward Edgemenace 09-19-2008 06:15 PM

Well, the GM I met arrived on Devil's Anvil as I was trying to glitch through the second rock-portal thing. (The other one goes into Barbossa's grotto.) Xavier greeted me as he came through it.

Bringing that scurvy pirate over to where other's were-a-waitin for him, he had some good little bit-o-jawin. But the scary part was the mystical clues he gave - something about a full moon or All Hallow's EVE - and a curse.

Aye, a curse. Something about relics, too thar matey.

http://i476.photobucket.com/albums/r...9_11-48-17.jpg Dressed very normal, Sarah.

Sarah 09-19-2008 06:18 PM

Alright, just met one, and guess what, she had to use "creative chat" as well....ROFL! Got a few pics, post them in a few.

Sven Osymthe 09-19-2008 06:31 PM

Anyone besides me, amused that this is thread 8,000?

Tobias Blastpigge 09-19-2008 07:14 PM

Happy Birthday ya bilge rat! :laughks2:

Ya got a picture of me too :) Last pic I'm over yer left shoulder - you can frame it :00001927:

Well, there was talk of the curse of Davy Jones, on All Hallows Eve - in the moonlight. My guess is that we'll all turn skelly and be able to PVP anywhere - that will be FUN!

They were also sounding out a few ideas. Like pets and gangplanks and captain quarters on ships. At least one GM (Ruby) talked about pets a few times. So those were good clues as to what they're working on.

No answers on higher levels or new boss battles tho - that was most asked.

Captain Grizzly 09-19-2008 07:17 PM

Met GM Ben, didn't really seem to be there to answer questions. More like he was reading from a script. Let everyone know a new weapon would be coming and it would be available to all pirates who are the appropriate level. What level that is he didn't say.

Informed all present that on All Hallows Eve (Halloween), Jolly Roger will be terrorizing the Caribbean in search of relics. Those having said relics will be cursed and turned into the undead in the light of the full moon. So I guess we'll all be hunting relics on Halloween night.

He did ask for some feedback of what new weapons we would like to see and what types of ships, but any questions regarding the level cap or weapons cap went unanswered. Well actually pretty much all questions went unanswered.

Sven Osymthe 09-19-2008 07:27 PM

also while visiting the GM's, Edward Edgemenace learned how to dance in the water lol

Turning into skeletons would be cool.
PVP anywhere would be a horrendous nightmare and I would not participate in the least, I dont think many pirates would want this. Only the PVP type players, which in my experience only represent a small percentage of players.


I figured they would not be answering many questions at all. The amount of time they had barely warrants them saying something scripted.

Captain Walter was amazingly behind schedule, just getting TO abassa. The other GMs seemed to be sticking stricktly to the schedule. Found Captain Walter on the last island. I tried to ask him if it meant just looking like skeletons, or would it be actual PvP everywhere. He stayed in "role" so the answer is a little unclear, but seems to say that it is full-on-PvP. Captain Walter said something like "Undead don't know if ye are friend or foe."

Man, wouldn't it be nice to have a chat log?

Chris 09-19-2008 08:16 PM

This event should be interesting without a doubt.

Tobias Blastpigge 09-19-2008 08:31 PM

The Devil's Anvil

Aye - sorry to say Zeppers it really does look like skellys and pvp ('anything goes' - thanks Edward, that was good information).

It looks like a quest thing tho - you'd have to get artifacts. Probably dig up chests or kill undead to get them. So maybe not all bad :pirate6:

Im not too much in PvP myself, but I do love SvS. It might be a fun change of pace tho.

Dr. Zeppers 09-19-2008 08:34 PM

Guess ill have to boycott POTCO on Halloween :(

Tobias Blastpigge 09-19-2008 08:39 PM

Ach - party pooper :)

Just stay indoors at night. Or plunder. Or privateer. Or dress like a respectable, law abiding person and go from shop to shop asking fer candy... (well, maybe not that last one).

~XxBladeSkullxX~ 09-19-2008 08:56 PM

That sounds a lot like ToonTowns mod hunt. That was AWSOME. :buds: This may be really fun too.

All kidding aside, that is a good day of the year to be offline! Well, it might be only during the "game night-time" portions, when the moon is out. (The moon is always full in POTCO, right?) The PvP glitchers will gravitate to Tortuga/Abassa so it may be pretty much OK, everywhere else.

lol everyone, sorry, I was bluffing.

I just hope the halloween events isnt about PVP. I've already dropped my SvS quests (no interest). I've done all the new quests...

Doesn't the announcement say the 19th, 20th and 21st?

Nautical Nattie 09-20-2008 12:04 PM

I managed to find Thatch Roberts and Captain Walter, one of them said hardly anything, kinda stood for two minutes in silence and whenever he was asked a question would mention the Halloween curse over and over. However the other one (lol i dont remember which was which anymore) got things done and said it would only be in moonlight that the curse is dangerous, so i assume if you stay away from moonlight or hide you can't get killed like pvp? As well as the curse can be broken. Also, he took a screeny of three of us holding siege charges :laughks2: and mentioned new weapons will arrive prior to the curse.

They were bombarded with friend requests and people throwing tantrums and getting their fingers stuck on the caps button hehe

Swash 09-20-2008 01:45 PM

Im gonna meet 1 today.

Mr.LoveLocket 09-20-2008 02:54 PM

Please check the 2nd post of the first page for all the times, dates and servers of all events.

Mr.LoveLocket 09-20-2008 03:30 PM

Oh ok thanks chris. Ehh i don't wanna meet them. Anyone got pictures though?

Nautical Nattie 09-20-2008 04:41 PM

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...19_20-4-15.jpg

It was Thatch that was interesting with what he said, Captain Walter didn't say very much at all. My friend said she met with Ruby Wynn and she was also very good. I'll try and meet the rest if i can :)

Chris 09-20-2008 04:46 PM

Walter was busy or more than likely held up by the lag.

Swash 09-20-2008 04:57 PM

Walter probably didnt talk much because he only answered questions that made sense. Or maybe hes Anti Social.

Chris 09-20-2008 05:10 PM

True this is madness im just not gonna even try to read then once he leaves go to the chat log and see what he said.

Exactly, i agree.

Chris 09-20-2008 05:27 PM

So this event was erm.. whats the word... fun? We finally did get to meet staff but they were surrounded by other players and i was lagging so bad i was like lagging to another time zone.

MacIronhawk 09-20-2008 06:44 PM

Eleven more minutes until a GM should show up where i'm at. If they don't then it seems disney is bad at scheduling things.

EDIT: Wow i've met two and got information for upcoming events. On Hallowen we'll all turn undead in a never ending PVP match.

Mr.LoveLocket 09-20-2008 07:23 PM

I met thatch he was nice :)

MacIronhawk 09-20-2008 07:29 PM

All the GMs are ignoring basic access member questions. I've seen them ask why isn't everything on pirates free.
No response.
I've asked about ship customization and one GM said it is in teh works. I even asked about weapons and one GM(ben) said that there were new higher level weapon quests coming soon!
but Ben made it sound like there were new quests and new weapons!

I even asked about that weapon of Jolly Rogers and he said taht was a good idea.
This events fun.

davy redflint 09-20-2008 07:36 PM

halloween thing sound fun, but i'll be at the ren-fest dress in all me pirate garb, havin a lot of fun. hope they do add more and raise noterity

Mr.LoveLocket 09-20-2008 09:07 PM

I only met 1. i was way to lazy to meet more

Swash 09-20-2008 09:08 PM

I Enjoyed meeting the devs Ruby was the nicest.

Oh wait - seeing them struggle with the chat actually *would* make me laugh quite a bit. I wonder if they'll reschedule the event, when they figure out that 2/3rds of the attendees couldn't hear them ([+] chat only!) I can just see the Q/A session now:

Q: What level does the Harrow voodoo staff unlock at?
GM's A: <no response>
Q: You can't tell me the level?
GM's A: Sorry, I guess you didn't hear me. The numbers must not be getting through. The Harrow voodoo staff quest is unlocked at staff level won ive.
Q: I know you've probably won it already...but c'mon, what level?
GM's A: won hive
Q: Hive? Aren't those called guilds here? How would a guild win me a special staff?
GM's A: on live
Q: You are making less sense each time, dude. I can find the answer on live chat support?
GM's A: zero won to tree for hive sick even ate nan ---- won hive
Q: Oh! You are from Japan? OK, let's see if I can work out the Japanese grammar. A Japanese zero pilot won a trip to see a tree, but there was a hive in it and he ate it but got sick. The emperor rewarded him with another hive. Hmmm. But what does that have to do with the voodoo staff quest?
...


LOL That was so funny! :laughks2:

Mr.LoveLocket 09-20-2008 10:05 PM

LOL nice edward!!

AdmiralSavvy 09-20-2008 10:05 PM

The GMs I met were rather informative but I'm confused about them implementing new guild ranks. Some say they won't, but some other GMs say they might, that's the only thing that makes me really wonder.

I'm glad to see that they came up with this idea so that it would be semi easier to get the answers out of them. And I wouldn't go to Abassa for the GMs if I were you. Too many little kids demanding answers.

Wow!
New enemies with the green glow.
I can't wait to fight a glowing level 40 stump!

Oh POTCO please don't do what toontown did and make it a V2.0 enemy. Having to kill it twice!

HaveAMagicalDay 09-20-2008 11:30 PM

Did anybody ask yet when the next Story Chapter Quest will be out?

Like the Black Pearl quest was a Story Quest.

They said in a Current News page that they were working on it when they said the boss battle was back.

That was a while ago.

We do :D The launcher-[DATE].log file that the game launches with actualy records your chat as well as many other 'gmae related items' - so you COULD scan that file and find the chat that took place...

If I get time to review the logs again I'll confirm - but feel free to look in your POTCO directory (usually C:\Program Files\Disney\Disney Online\PiratesOnline ) to review the logs - remember - there full of 'game useless info' but the chat lines should be in there as well :)

*Just a edit note* Some chat is captured - some isn't :( It may be worth while to at least check it out as their chat may be captured :)

A lot of people asked this sadly none of the GM commented on this same thing happened when we asked when the next noto cap raise was again no comments.

I did get to see James Howe, twice. He did mention something about it being a good possibility of bringing Jolly back. He was great, very informative. See if u can catch up with him tomorrow. ;)

they made a mistake on the list of emotes, they forgot /time

You know that kicks you off right.

Davil 09-21-2008 04:30 AM

i know, but if they put in description " Suprise" it would be the best thing that ever happened on PoTCO next to the glitch filled SvS

Swash 09-21-2008 04:31 AM

But then people would find out and we couldnt trick em.

Davil 09-21-2008 04:34 AM

Thats why Chris told us about this so we, the smart ppl, can trick and control the weak minded. "Use the force Swash"

Chris 09-21-2008 04:40 AM

Lol yes to make people envy all POF'ers

Davil 09-21-2008 05:09 AM

thats why we aren't those ppl that ask " I NEED A GF/BF! etc. "

Yea i know! This one girl asked xavier if he could be her boyfriend. Needless to say that question didnt get an answer.

Hehe - keep in mind Max, that I found all the "/" keywords by searching the text of the phase files! Yes, I know that log exists, but only records *my* comments when I make a typo and backspace over it. I haven't seen any of my actual comments sent in there, nor anyone else's comments. :-(

It would be really neat to have a working chat log. (But someone would complain about it, I'm sure.)

whoah! i never knew someone would actually do that!

I didn't like this event much :00001927:

AdmiralSavvy 09-21-2008 02:33 PM

Well people like that are to be expected. Because this is a kids game....but....that doesn't mean we can't have some.....fun with this emote....*evil laugh*

Swash 09-21-2008 03:04 PM

The first 3 I met were swarmed by the crowd then the final 3 had medium to small audiences.

William 09-21-2008 07:13 PM

Today I met Ruby and Xavier, and I noticed that Ruby's schedule had changed, so all the ones who want to meet her check the list here.

I got screens of the dialogs, so I 'll try to post the most important info soon.

See ya.

Mr.LoveLocket 09-21-2008 08:15 PM

I keep talking to thatch he is also cool :)

Swash 09-21-2008 08:17 PM

Ruby was with another unknown GM Roberta Roberts.

Dr. Zeppers 09-21-2008 08:32 PM

Yes, Ruby showed up with Roberta once, but not later (at her last showing).

Ruby, Thatch, and James were the most friendly, however thats not really true, I think the others were just bombarded with too many pirates :)

I luckily caught these 3 at times before the crowd showed up each time and got in some kudos and a few questions ;)

Invited a few of them to visit POF. Ruby indicated she does visit :) so smile everyone and keep posting your ideas :)

William 09-21-2008 10:34 PM

OK, as I said before, I 'll post the info I got from the GMs today.

Here there is a summary of the dialogs.


Ruby Wynn


THE CURSE

Ruby:Are you all ready for the curse?
I'm very frightened, I must admit.
Jolly Roger wants to take over the entire Caribbean.
We cannot let that happen.

NEW CLOTHES, SHIPS AND WEAPONS

Pirate:Is there going to be new clothes?
Ruby: Aye - there should be a new shipment shortly.

Pirate: Will there ever be guild team up abilities?
Ruby: Aye, many plans for Guilds in the works.
[...]
Pirate: Ruby, will there ever be guild wars?
Ruby: Guild Wars?
I have heard rumors of something of the sort.

GLITCHES AND SCRIPT ERRORS

Pirate: Do you know all of the glitches?
Ruby: Aye, I know there be some pirates having problems.
We are working hard to fix this.
Doing all we can...
[...]
Pirate: Are the rumors about the major script errors true to?
I heared there was a virus.
Ruby: No, no virus.

WEATHER

Pirate: Have the designers ever considered having a hurricane roll through the caribbean?
Ruby: I think the weather may be changin' here soon.
There may be some good storms a brewin'.

Pirate: Will there be Davy Jones and Kracken quests?
Ruby: Aye... those beasts not be far behind.

Pirate: When will we be able to battle the kracken?
Ruby: You will be able to battle the kracken soon enough.
Pirate: Will there be other sea monsters?

One day we may be unfortunate enough to come in contact with them.
Those wretched beasts.
They are an evil bunch.
With the likes of Jolly Roger and his undead army.

Xavier Hench


THE CURSE

Look to the stars... Jolly will make his presence felt in many ways on All Hallow's Eve.
[...]
Pirate: You mean you can shoot navies with a gun?
Xavier: Navies won't be effected by the curse. Jolly only has intentions to destroy Pirates.


NEW ENEMIES AND BOSSES

Xavier: Jolly is sending new enemies to attempt to destroy our pirate way of life.
These new enemies will be larger, stronger than anything you or I have seen before.
They carry a misterius green glow so dont attempt to defeat one alone.
[...]
Xavier: Remember to take a crew, friends or guild to fight the new bosses.
There are no easy push overs.
I can tell you a tale of one... his name is Simon Butcher...
He is the leader of a horde of Undead Pirates... beware... he has higher powers than anything we 've seen in the Caribbean yet.
Keep your ears to the wind... we will be announcing more details shortly...

PIRATE MASTERS

Xavier: Notoriety Cap is constantly being explored... keep your ear to the winds mates for more news on that front.
[...]
Pirate: Xavier, can you give us "Pirate Masters" any hope for the future?
Xavier: I can Pirate.
We are always exploring the Caribbean and may turn up some quests... really really really really soon.
[...]
Pirate: What about life after level 40?
Xavier: Life after 40 will still be going strong.
We are expanding in many ways outside of just quests...

NEW WEAPONS

Xavier: Our blacksmiths' are working hard to get you new weapons to fight Jolly's newminions.

THE KRACKEN

Pirate: Will there be sea monsters?
Pirate: What about the Kracken?
The Kracken is a misterius beast... he keeps breaking our fishing nets but the moment we can get our hands on him... so will you!



Hope you find this info usefull.

See ya.:piratewheelgo2:

Maximvs 09-21-2008 10:40 PM

Very nice review William (and a 'click' on the rep button for this :) ) - it was unfortunate this weekend was Soccer tryouts... I really wanted to see it firsthand and keep those reports coming everyone :D

Chris 09-21-2008 10:57 PM

Wow thanks for all that info very interesting indeed.

Nautical Nattie 09-22-2008 03:25 PM

oooh! Nice one William, very interesting. Love the thing about the skill points!

Yes i agree i like the skill point re-distribution i made some poor choices when it comes to voodoo doll.

Mines all in the sailing, i might as well fire bubbles out my broadsides with the way i've upgraded those. Though if there is a feature to change skill points, there may be the added problem of how often you can do it or how difficult it really will be (as you will get people changing skill points for SvS, then changing them back etc)

William 09-23-2008 11:51 PM

Thanks for your comments, I'm glad to hear that you found this info interesting.

See ya.

See ya.:piratewheelgo2:

Simply, I'm not sure what to think..
I'm tired of all these new cutlasses and staffs, whether new weapons means that or not, I don't even know if ship customization will even be worth it in Ship PvP, just leaves room for people to get booted. After all, the lag is already bad for SvS, we're gonna have to wait 5 minutes to see the turnout of a single broadside with ship customization.
