Black Sails

Brave souls birth captains. The sea births legends.

Board other captains in real time. Between fights, run the ship: provisions, iron, beasts, and heirs who keep it working.

The life

Fight, then make it pay

Three loops. Board on the main deck. Send pirates out on a voyage. Keep the ship staffed so the haul has somewhere to go.

The crew

You hire pirates, not one hero. Six origins, from the Caribbean to the Baltic, and each favors a different stat. They fight on the deck and sail when you send a voyage.

Two pirate flags: a silver viper and a bloodied skull under crossed axes

Boarding

Live PvP on the main deck. Six weapon styles, a skill grid, and an Elo rating. The winner takes doubloons and trophy gear.

The voyage

Grapple a prize, strip a wreck, bombard a fort, or hunt a beast. Heirs train in the chart room, then work the galley, the hold, or the beast hold while you are out.

The ship

Nine places. Each one does a job.

They open as your captain rank grows. You fight on the deck. The rest of the ship turns a win into provisions, iron, gear, and people who keep working.

  1. Main Deck boarding fights and pirate training
  2. Cabin consorts, heirs, and rest
  3. Chart Room heirs train here, then graduate to a job
  4. Galley provisions from prize ships
  5. Hold iron from wrecks
  6. Armory reforge trophy gear
  7. Beast Hold lure, catch, and keep beasts
  8. Sick Bay treat injuries from a lost fight
  9. Port Market trade trophy gear with other captains

The coats from the fight

Same models you hire. A cutlass, a boarding axe, twin blades.
