Not much to do now, but as I said I think this increase the chance that Lego are making one and do not want any competition

BrickLink are having a survey so there is an opportunity to provide feedback:

There is a complete lack of Pirate themed ideas on the BrickLink Designer Program 2021 Invitational webpage:

Meanwhile, other classic themes including Castle, Town and Space are represented, despite Pirates making it into the top 4 in the recent Vote for the 90th Anniversary LEGO set poll.

So my need is better Pirate themed representation in initiatives like these.

I am so curious on what’s next with the pirates, I am personally working on my forever pirates project now, I loved the idea of modular sets combining back in 2015 and just plan to work on more imperial forts, modifying the creator pirate ship with pre built parts, etc, but would buy them all in a heartbeat, castle and pirates does that for me
