Sorry I didn't get to this last night...
If we do something like the campaign game, we will want many smaller
ships, and even if we play the battle game, it will still be nice to
have bunches of smaller ships. I will start building some small ships
over the next couple weeks. Unless we have a huge number of players,
lets just use my minifigs so we don't need to keep track of who belongs
to whom. If you have a favorite fig you want to use for your captain,
that would probably be ok (captains are easier to keep track of).
Another reason to keep to the smaller ships is to make things more
manageable since it sounds like for the most part we aren't familiar
with the rules.
Here's a post I made earlier with ship building guidelines:

Remember to come in costume for bonuses... (of course I'll have to dig
out a costume myself).
As far as things like dolphin saboteurs and shark catapults... Well, the
game is mostly serious, but does allow a little bit of fun (one hint
about how far the fun might extend though, I asked Steve once about the
role monkeys could play, and he mentioned that they had a role for them
early on, but dropped it as being too corny). I could see some room
however for some extra intelligent dolphins (so if you want to e-mail me
with ideas, I may compile a set of "rumors" about dolphins and publish
them. Of course reality will be based on what I or any assistant GMs
decide, though one possible hint is that I do own a trans-blue dolphin
[I don't think I have any white ones though - but if someone brings
some...]).
