I've been giving some thought to changing rules. The trouble is care must be
taken whenever rules changes are made. Unfortunately, I have not developed a
local group of pirate gamers to playtest things, and trying too much rules
experimentation during a big convention game (which is basically all I have
run) is not always wise.

(...) That is a problem. But, if you were to develop multiple personalities, you could play a game by yourself and test the rule modifications. ~Clangador (20 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming)
