Hoo, yeah - you need a second GM, Actually, I'm thinking of having about
4 next time I play - an uber-ref (me), a sutler, a combat ref (I can only be
in one place at a time!) and a ship ref (in charge of playing imperial and
merchant ships)

How many did you have? I had 4 (one for each compass point) and it
worked well. I had Spanish, French and English ports + a pirate port which
would always be neutral towards players and was easier to recruit crew from.
It made playing merchant ships easier too as you could just roll a couple of
dice to see which port they came from and which port they were heading to.

Which undead were you using? I haven't tried mummies yet but I generally
make skeletons immune to firearms (except cannons). Not sure on ghosts
either - maybe some sort of paralyse attack...

A seperate ref to run the NPC ships is useful. An experienced player can
do this and it's not that much different from playing.
