Ok. Have a randomly triggered event involving a NPC Armada of “Buccaneers” who’ve invaded the Sea of Thieves but they don’t like being called Pirates. They’re TOTALLY different. To them, Pirates are nothing more than smelly sea drunkards who lie and cheat and steal while a Buccaneer sails the oceans blue seeking adventure, fame, and coin!
...really they’re just uppity pirates who insult the code...
They can take up residence in skull forts and they can sail around in 2-3 manned Brigantines (4 cannons total/2 cannons per side) with reinforced hull for ramming and/or 1-2 manned Caravels that are FAST but with less maneuverability the faster they go. Give Caravels the same cannon set up as Sloops.
Both ship types should be available to the player once they Capture each type (ie: Killing all crew without sinking the ship and successfully sailing to an outpost to sell).
Brigantine=$50k
Caravel=$25k
Point is this: They’ve (potentially) invaded our seas and they’re stealing our rightfully stolen loot! Let’s sink and/or steal some Buc Boats, bombard some Buc Forts, and load up on Buc Loot!!
This could be fun I think.
