two schooners and a frigate

With a buddy versus a US coastal guard Frigate. Tagged us a few times. We decided to end the chain of events​

 
Taking the Blackbeard Snake for a crew shakedown and, hoping for prey, came upon a Les Gros Ventre.
 
You remember that loading screen quote "Don't get cocky..." ?! Yes, no I do.
 
Came upon a trader which happened to be a hard toiling fisherman.
 
Title says everything. In a  flotilla of 1 cruiser and 2 brigs engaging a player trader with a NPC fleet.
It is impossible to see own death by explosion. Was a good fight with nothing short of spectacular end.
 
If there's something worth is using the lynx to chase a lynx. It is an exercise on precision rather than brute force and requires finesse. Alas the prey escaped.
 
It is not that rewarding to nail fishermen. But hey... there's no way to know what they carry until inspection.​
 
The US coastal guard is more alive nowadays with the influx of new players. Got interdicted by one of the new recruits. A nice little battle.
 
And yet again intercepted by the US coastal guard
 
This one was a strange situation. We were hunting for trade, using a privateer and a Blackbeard Snake when we came upon a Essex which ran away hiding inside a battle with a cutter... we went to check what that was all about...
 
A normal trade hunt which actually goes in an unexpected way. The captain sacrificed a Officer life ( supposedly if he has one ) and all the crew... and all for what !? A bottle !?...
 
After making my way back to Bonacca to reopen the haven there immediately when to check how the area is developing after being conquered back by the Brits. Came upon a trader and had to indulge myself to it after a trip that was all time under a violent squall...
 
Fishing - the act of playing NA without playing NA.
AKF Fishing - the act of asking for it !!!
A snappy salute to the LGV captain Jack the Just. Great spirit and kept his cool while knowing the escape window was open all the time :)
 
Was getting ready to return to port and give it more time for trade route to increase traffic when I came upon prey.
Was a good contest, I messed up a lot of position and wind but the good ol'Pickle hangs tough and the crew takes the day and the prize.
 
I do not make use of Fishing. It takes away OW speed and I have no need. Instead of spending 6 hours doing it I take half an hour and have the same result.Thank you for all the time you spent AFK fishing. Stupendous cargo.
 
One of the most fun combat situation in a while.
A friend in a trader LGV ( see previous vídeo to see where the LGV came from), with a non-NPC escort ( me! ) gets intercepted by a raider US Frigate. Fun, epic, hillarious and spectacular show of gallantry ( not! ) from the opponent in chat.

It has been a while since I was in Jamaica so one of these days went there to see how the trade routes are these days. Immediately located a victim and proceeded with the piracy act. A player in a cruiser was actually escorting the trader. Good to see this kind of interaction between us players rather than the NPC fleets.

 

 

 

Took a day off the normal and absolutely acceptable pirate activities of robbing the rich to give to the poor pirate that I am - read: capture traders cargo - to go and have a bit of good ol'brawling around home waters. A Swedish squadron was engaged and I must compliment them as they always fight great. Good good fun and positive spirits.​

 

 

 
 
A ton of bad advice from the "community" result in bad spots. An afk target... but that's not the only error...
Do not undercrew your ship. Go AFK in a port. Do not use fleets... especially undercrewed
Do not believe anyone telling you to rush through ranks, power grind or anything similar. It is all bad advice.
