does anyone know if you lose all of your progress if you delete your pirate so you can make a new one?

As of approximately an hour ago, yes, you lose progress. I hadn't made much at all and wanted to see if that was the case. There is a warning that you will lose it, however.

@jarofpeachz yes you loose all of that! hey I play on pc and I see these green, red, blue lines on the sails and the ground. do you see this as well? pc is at highest detail setting and no matter the detail settings I always see it. just looks in normal.

@ducati899boy no idea
