Well, it depends on how much you want to create for yourself and how
much you want to create for the Pirate Game...

   Wait, there's a difference?  ;)

In support of the Pirate Game, I'd suggest a modest island or two and/or
a modest ship or two (we will need bunches of class 1,2, and 3 ships).

   That sounds like a good idea.  I had thought, though, to take
   the 16x16 island plates, add a few yellow bricks and slopes,
   a treasure chest (which might have coins, might have scorpions!),
   and a palm tree or two just as a "generic" island.  That way
   Pirates would have to land on 'em to find out what's there.  It
   would also allow us to make lots of identical little 16x16 islands
   to really confuse the Pirates--just make sure to have your name
   on the bottoms!

   The 32x32 would make for some nifty islands, though.  I do want
   to make some cutters--especially as testbeds for the SNOT bows
   and sterns I'm designing for the next monstrosity.
