Tried it, hooked on it, love it...would like to see a dedicated forum here on pof just for ship pvp..with tips, events, crewing, boat names, etc.

I meet new privateers who have trouble getting crews, but seem enthusiastic about it...so I encourage experienced ship pvpers to take a turn gunning for these new svs sailors. Yeah, its a pain when they sink three times in a row, worse if they don't listen to well placed advice. But....some do and stay in game.

Try to keep the bounty playing in the game for others. It keeps interest and boats in the water. So don't port big bounties if you can help it. Don't poof or log out during a chase. Fight. Its really bad sportsmanship to do either of those things. It drives potential repeat players out of game.

Patience is key. If you got a short fuse, maybe not for you. I enjoy the competition, the sailing, and sure, the glory....but mostly the time spent with a good crew and friends.
