Unkown to the EITC and Navy, their own Expedition Fleets were leaving a trail for Pirates to follow and thus led many a brave buccaneer to the exact location of the new island! Ha! Those fools ...

How wonderful these Fleets are. Quite magnificent.

We hit them fast and hard sinking many of their ships and looting their hulls of Royal Chests thus intensifying a Pirates' desire for riches.

They're not so tough to me and my crew.

This year was pretty intense, to a certain extent. Fleets, Invasions, Foulberto, Cursed Blades, Raven's Cove, all of it. It's been good going. Even Fishing was interesting. Repairing is debatable, Cannon Defense was just plain fun, Potion Mixing isn't fun, but the potions are.

I'll admit I was hoping for a little more, but to be honest, POTCO did well with the updates this year, despite a few dry weeks.

But I think I also found ANOTHER hint. I was just going through the phase files (phase_2), and I noticed a new image. It comes under GUI, and what can be made out of it are some new skull icons. It is titled gui_icons_infamy_palette_4alla_1.jpg
What do I know, something about being infamous?

One more thing - I found one of the skulls in this new GUI thing also along with the other 'Lookout' icons. A new feature in Lookout?

Infamy.... Like prestige mode in CoD? That would be amazing! Give all of your rep up for an icon and some other bonuses. Yet, I would still prefer higher level caps.

I've only played MW and MW2 Multiplayer, so I don't know what Prestige is... What is it? And for now we don't know what THIS is. The possibilities are many... (so how do we know if we even REQUIRE lvl cap raises for this?)

Haha. I mean the feature 'Lookout' that comes when you press L in the game. You know? To access PvP, Cards, Treasure Maps and Privateering?

There's no list of Pet skills, but Pets is mentioned as a skill. I think the list of skills was shown in an unformatted version in the Weapons List thread of SPM, by SPM.

MW and MW2 ha prestige mode in them it is pretty much giving up your high rank to get a different and higher looking symbol thing next to yuor name
