We've currently got:

1 Class 2 ship (a stock Cross Bone Clipper)
1 Class 3 ship (a stock Armada Flagship)

The AF needs some modification since it only has one gunport, it really
needs a 2nd. It also gets a rotating cannon.

I'll see what we can do about that. :)

1 Class 6 ship (a stock BSB)

A BSB is actually Class 7 (or did you mean a RBR, which is Class 6).

It is a BSB -- I just lost my mind.

1 Class 7 ship (a custom (hurray for Jamie!))

Is this 3 or 4 center sections?

3 wide center sections.  We had a 4th section, but the dog ate it.

We don't have ship record sheets for
Class 8 4 center section wide ships. We also are unlikely to use such
big ships (even if we do a battle game). However, all MOCs are
definitely welcome for display (and scaring people...).

So you don't want the class 7 ships, or you don't want class 8 ships?

If you need, we could probably construct a few cutters, and maybe one or
two brigs.

Brigs would be much more useful than cutters (I have plenty of cutters,
but we never seem to have enough class 2 ships).

Hmm.  We've got 4 sets of regular ship hulls, but only 2 center
sections.  We've also got a few sets of the 10-wide bow bricks & plates,

Which I see Steve Jackson tags for scratch-building brigs.  I might get
the boys to put these together into *something*.  I can't promise
anything, though.

Help me out here -- considering my limited time and lego-pirate
resources, can you prioritize your ship wants/needs?

Are there instructions/ideas available for scratch-building masts?

Steve Jackson has some ideas on his page.

Found it, <http://www.io.com/~sj/cutters.html>.  Very cool, thank you
for pointing those out!

(...) Bad dog! (...) I have never come close to using class 7 ships in the game. I would like to at some point, but it's unlikely. More on this below. Additionally, class 8 doesn't have a standard record sheet for it. (...) Remember a class 2 ship (...) (21 years ago, 4-Aug-03, to lugnet.events.brickfest)
