(...) Sorry, pirate fans everywhere, I have betrayed you. Much as I revere the BSB, I think the pirate line needs an Imperial base set, like Eldorado fortress, and a large pirate legend now would probably ruin the chances of that for a while. So I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm with you on this one! The 'Skull' is far more sinister IMO, and therefore a much cooler/realistic ship... (URL) I'll still buy a 6285...but it'll need some color alterations. (The yellow just looks sooo silly!) -Captain Ron (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)

I would prefer to see the Lego Company come out with the 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. I have 3 of the 6285 Black Seas Baracudas, but I was not able to get the Schooner. Also, I would also like to see a re-release of the 6271 Imperial Flagship as I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Ahh, I think we've hit upon the sloop crisis. I've come to associate 'sloop' with 'corvette' -- a slightly-smaller-than-a-frigate vessel, Brig- or Ship-rigged (oh, back then my understanding is that anything less than 3 masts wasn't considered (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Splendid! This I *have* to see. A silly question: how many masts on the sloop? I've been reading up on my smaller ship classes lately (trying to figure out what I can build :) and I've found that sloops could either be brig-sloops (2 masts) or (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)
