I am on now but I seem to have issues..................

That's pretty funny. Are you still on? Where are you?

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

I just wanted to let you all know that I survived the Hurricane. We actually did very well, only minor tree damage and leaves all over. I was so lucky to not loose power. About half the houses in the area are without power.

 

[Cardinal]

That's great news, Cajun. Are all of your neighbors and family members okay?

Glad to know all is well. Now just watch out for Ike! I think that little stinker might go into the gulf again. Sigh.........it is that type of weather that makes me not miss living in Houston.

I am Sven Hullwrecker and I'm usually sailing around on my ships (The Riptide Raider, light sloop and the Ravager Raven, that other ship that you can get with basic access) or training my new voodoo doll in Cuba (I named him Freddy).

I was just on pirates working on a quest. I need to sink a skeleton ship . I don't belong to a crew or guild of any kind and i wanted to find someone to join? Wish i knew a vmk friend on pirates

 

[threeboysmom]

Ah, well I'm back from Wisconsin after depositing my son off at college. All I can say was, wow, that was HARD! I thought I could be strong and hold myself together. Ha! Who was I fooling?

BUT... I have three new CLOTHING quests to look forward to on Pirates! Woot! That sure cheers me up!

Sorry, Cruise, for not meeting up with you. My STUPID cell died on me on our trip back (and I had no charger). Unfortunately, your number was saved on my cell... I wouldn't have been good company anyways... I cried through Wisconsin... through Illinois... through Indiana... through Ohio.... I cried myself through hundreds of miles of corn fields! Holy cow! CORN everywhere as far as the eye could see!

Funny... on our way out, everytime we'd go over the littlest of hills out west, my son would cry out "MOUNTAIN!!!" OK, so you had to be there

Pic of my very handsome son and his very proud mom I have this set as my wallpaper now. I want to cry again everytime I start up my computer. I'm a glutton for punishment

Skellies can be tough for a single person, but they are doable if you know the tricks.

First of all Phantoms are the least powerful and they have a trait that makes them easier to sink than some of the other skellies. This trait is that once you hit them they will sail straight toward you until they get within broadside range. There are 2 ways to take them down with the least threat (of course this works best if you have a better ship than a light sloop and particularly well if you have lightning cannon shot).

1) Find a Phantom that sails near an island. There is usually one just off Port Royal if you sail to the right after launching there. Get close enough to the island so that you can dock immediately if need be. Turn your ship broadside, release the helm, and take a cannon. Hit the Phantom's SAILS at the furthest away you can. As it comes toward you keep hitting its SAILS. As you take down its sails it will slow down and give you more time to fire on it before it gets to close. Once you take down its sails it can not move and will be a sitting target. If it gets within broadside range QUICKLY release the cannon, take the helm, hit it with one broadside. and then dock. Once you dock launch again quickly and you should find it in a weaken state ready to take on again. You also can try the tip in the second way below instead of docking but this takes a little more sailing ability.

2) The trait that Phantoms always comes straight toward you makes this second way possible (even though more difficult) and a bit more rewarding (to me at least). You have to start by finding a Phantom in an area that does not have a lot of other enemy ships. You can either start by hitting it with cannons again to draw it toward you or approach its front quickly using (Full Sail" or "Ramming Speed". Once it is within broadside range, hit it with a broadside and then sail away from its front. It will follow you but you should be able to out run it. Once you get outside broadside range, turn your boat broadside to its front, fire broadsides on it, run to outside broadside range, and repeat.

If all you have is a sloop (of any kind, but easiest with the smaller ones) there is another way that is more difficult to take down any enemy galleon or frigate. That is to get as close as you can to its back and continue hitting it with broadsides. Getting close to its back can be difficult at times, but usually using "Full Sail" or "Ramming Speed" works well when coming from the back or sometimes passing close by a ship going the opposite direction. Then all you have to do is hit the back with a broadside, sail to put your ship in position for your other broadsides, and keep repeating. If you want to try this I would suggest practicing with Bulwarks, Panthers, or Corvettes before going after anything else.

Or..... you could just follow my method which is a whole lot simpler than that explanation! Three easy steps:

1) Find Corianders Toy in game
2) Jump aboard his ship
3) Chat while he shoots

Yay! A skellie!

Well with one crewmember aboard (yes, even Pink ) and a frigate (of any kind) it is much easier. Find a Phantom in a relatively empty area. Have the crew member man a front cannon. Get within cannon shot range of the skelly and the crewmember starts hitting the skellies sails. As the skelly gets closer just use the down arrow key to back away from it. Once the skellies sails are down you can turn your broadside to the skelly and have your way with it.

I still like my way better!!
