While the enthusiasm is not only commendable but admirable,
I fear that an 18th-C. pyrate going after a steel, steam-
powered freighter would be sort of like going after the setting
moon. On the other hand, the black bows from River Expedition
(which I'm praying I'll be able to get some of while they're
still around!) would be ideal for building a sailing freighter,
much better for plunderin'.
I usually arm my freighters with 40mm or 15cm DP quick-firing-guns
anyways, to keep my little grey patrol boats away. I don't have
enough to make a proper convoy, though.

A mad Pirate ship builder gone mad? I'm not sure what that would
entail, but it sounds rather disconcerting.

Well, now that I own three RBRs, I can start building "proper"
Pirate ships--not those wimpy little 6280-based things! I need
to know when BrickFest 2001 will be soon, though, so I can make
my plans to come out, and pick up my wee little MOCs (currently
filling a storage unit in NJ) on the way. On the other hand,
if someone feels like throwing a Pirate Game Fest 2001, I'll
come for that too. ;) Methinks we need a place that stays
open all night this time 'round!
