  1. Wow! 5 more months to get building! I will definitely have to participate.
  2. You can use LDD. Just start a new topic in Watto's Junkyard and post a link of it here.
  3. But this isn't Real Life. It's a game. This summarizes things very well.
  4. However, as has been stated by a few people, sending a large fleet of trade ships will usually pay for itself. There's always risk, but the odds of a good return are decent with trade ships. But sending a large fleet of Class A ships does not pay for itself. Let's say one of my Class 5A ships captures a 4A. I sell it for 300-400 DBs. That's still less than what a Class 5 trade ship brings in. The rules seem skewed to favor traders. You can argue that there will be fewer escorts so it'll be easier for pirates to capture ships. But they first have to afford being able to sail. And even then their return is less than the traders.
  5. Glad to hear you are planning on participating! I didn't think the two deadlines being near each other would hinder participation, but I'm glad we've resolved it anyway. I'll have to remember that next May. Glad you like it! I hope you do enter!
  6. I'm not rich, yet I have complaints. What category does that put me in? Your argument is only valid for Class 5 trade ships. None of the Class 5A ships brought in any DBs. I've captured at least 2 trade ships, maybe more. And I never received DBs for cargo. Same with the Sea Rat Faction ships, they've captured a couple trade ships and never got DBs.
  7. Yeah, that's a lot of DBs. I wasn't privy to the thought process behind the upkeep numbers, so I'll be interested to see how it plays out. Maybe the intention is for everyone to be able to afford fewer ships, so there are fewer ships to keep track of? The upkeep rules also seem to favor those who have trade ships. As the owner of almost all class A vessels, I don't get a lot of DBs after an MCRA. So that means after 1 or 2 runs, all my saved DBs will be gone from upkeep and I won't be able to afford sailing at all. That or I sail with fewer vessels each month which I'm sure ESL wouldn't mind. Wait... was ESL in charge of making these rules?
  8. Hmmm, yeah that's not okay. As a pirate I refuse to pay this ridiculous fee! I'll just steer all my ships to Tortuga.
  9. And here are all of my ships: Freddy's Rowboat - Class 0 Skiff - will keep the same Golden Dragon - Class 3A - will keep the same Viper - Class 2A - will keep the same Darting Frog - Class 4A - maybe change to a 5A? Morning Fog - Class 5HA - maybe upgrade to a 7A? Pineapple Revenge - Class 3A - will keep the same Clearance - Class 4A - will keep the same Tigerlily - Class 1WR - maybe upgrade to a 2WR? Warped Wood - Class 4T2 - will keep the same Priest's Bounty - Class 6HA - licensed and MOC'd - will keep the same - drydocked Bombastic Pete - Class 4T2 - licensed, not MOC'd - drydocked Queen Annetta's Price - Class 3T - licensed, not MOC'd - drydocked La Oleon - Class 3A - Owner MKJoshA - captured by Mardier - potential sistership El Polla - Class 2T - Owner MKJoshA - lost at sea - potential sistership

  11. Looking forward to seeing more of her story!
  12. Letting people know a photo can be found on reddit, FB, or another site is fine. Just don't use a direct hyperlink to direct people there. Thank you.
  13. Mmmm, potatoes. But guys, let's stay on topic about Legos and not starchy food (Who says Moderators and Regulators don't have a sense of humor?) Don't ask for leaked photos here. It's not allowed and you can get chambered for it. Just an FYI, in my opinion this is a good example of a helpful post for this thread. Thank you.
  14. We need to stop asking people what they confirmed or didn't confirm. Please only talk about the new sets, or share substantiated new rumors.
  15. This is not helping. Please don't respond in this way. Responding to the posts that clutter this thread, only clutter it more.
  16. It will be there sometime later today!
  17. Alright, the deadline is extended! New deadline is June 17th, just in time for Brickworld Chicago, Father's Day, and my anniversary
  18. Guys, the past 3 pages have more posts with opinions than verified rumors. Please keep your opinions posted elsewhere!
  19. Well, if anyone needs an extension can you post a comment here so I can know if that would help?
  20. Feel free to use mine any way you want.
  21. Yeah, I know the feeling. I actually made another order after seeing your ender legs. I feel like we should get commission from Lego for posting pics here.
  22. @Legostone My entry is actually for ESL. I moved it around already for you though.
  23. Fantastic story! Your writing is well done. I would have loved to see a MOC of the smugglers hold, but what you've build adds nicely to your tale.
