    Too late. You already had me at "Welcome back to the Nerdcastle". I love this game so much. The basic corvettes are usable if you know how to hit and run with them, but the real game takes off when you get your first shield generator.

    The command abilites of your flagship are not all passives, they use moral (or other consumables meters) to power the abilities and you can actively use them in combat not just switch between passives, you can also add a full NPC crew to the rest of your ships as well to buff them, later on you can manage MANY fleets at once with the remote command system to build a trading/hauling or production empire if you like.

    It's a shame you don't get to fight the captain of the boarded ship like it was in Sid's original Pirates. The enemy captain strength and confidence was dependent on how much crew was left when you boarded. As was your captain. The more crew the longer the fight before you or either the enemy captain would kneel and surrender. And it also depended on well you fought as well.

      Be prepare is very slow, one tip, as soon you have the money, upgrade the weapons of your starter ship, I got lucky and got very well armed pirate ship, but in my first "boss battle" I needed to upgrade the weapons of my second ship, you need to do some math to learn how damage they cause, money is the name of the game, more money you have, better ships you can buy and modified, but it really slow, even with speeding buttons, travel to one point of the map to another take an hour, because ships consume fuel, and you need fuel to the cruise speed, and need other resources when you are in combat, so you need to stop to refuel, repair or hire more crew.
