DeathCap

Chapter 2: Press Gang Previous Chapters Chapter 1 Short on crew, acting lieutenant Palmer patrols the coastline off Wullham, scouring for unwilling hands to press. Spying a local fisherman, Palmer assembles a press gang and orders them ashore.

Get the bugger!" Press Gang by DeathCap, on Flickr The fisherman receives a massive blow from maintopman Davies. He falls with a thud and Davies prepares to deliver another blow with his club. "Belay that damn your eyes!" Mr. Jones orders. Press Gang by DeathCap, on Flickr His still body is passed into the boat and conveyed back to HMS Piper, to Palmer's delight.

When he wakes up, read him the articles of war and add him to the ship's books. For now, get us back under sail. "aye aye sir" Untitled by DeathCap, on Flickr Stay tuned for Chapter 3 where we will see how this unfortunate fisherman reacts to being pressed by the Royal Navy.

Nice. How did you do the plumes on the shakoes?

Thankee both of you I think I will sign up for the MRCA. Which port should I start in since this is my first time? Also, how do I view my ship licenses? I forgot what stats I put down.

Thankee Ayrlego. Would I get money for this free build? Also, would this vessel be of any use in a military capacity for Corrington?

Thankee NOD Palmer is still a youngster. We'll see if he can earn the crew's respect.

In a gross display of nepotism, Commander Palmer promotes his 14-year-old nephew, Thomas Palmer, to acting lieutenant. Young Palmer's rank and influence allow him to take command of HMS Piper, a freshly built 4-gun cutter. "Good luck Captain Palmer!" Shouts his uncle. The two ships depart and Young Palmer starts an adventure of his own. Untitled by DeathCap Lego, on Flickr Palmer's orders are to deliver dispatches and to engage enemy vessels of inferior size. With that said, his voyage is largely mundane for now...

"Don't drop anything!" able seaman Davies hissed. "I served with his uncle before, he's a flogging captain. If he's anything like his uncle he'll give ya two dozen for dropping his dunnage!"

Greetings Gentlemen, How do I check how much money I have?

Good day, gentlemen. What class should I rate this 4-gun cutter armed with 4-pounders? I was thinking about licensing it as a class 2. This cutter shall serve as a dispatch vessel. Its light armament functions to deter gunboats and other light vessels. HMS Piper relies on her speed and maneuverability to escape danger. It should be in the brick within a month or so. Thank you @evancelt for telling me about Flickr.

I am new to this but what is a dedicated topic? Also, how does the economic system work? Thanks for the welcome.
