I'm going to make a new thread dedicated to the idea. :edit: Yeah, this thread has outlived its usefulness. 10 pages?!

I think people should start to censor their own ideas. All of these threads are "look at everything I can think of" and repeat. God bless woelf and whoever else keeps taking the time to thoughtfully read and attempt to address most ideas. I myself am overwhelmed and wish everybody would just pick their favorites from their own imagination. I think a thread should be started to that effect.... Post once and only once of your top 5 favorite ideas until all votes are tallied. Then we could start whittling away at some of this.

Would it be too much to ask for a Fireman crew, or a water pump or asbestos sails ? Anything to counter the dreaded fire mast rules! I've had my fleet burned up with no way of countering it too many times. Am I missing something ? Is there a way of putting out fire masts before your whole ship burns up? Make sure you're using the correct fire mast rules. They were revised in the Fire&Steel set along with the new fire shot equipment, but the changes were also applied retroactively to Firepot Specialists. Check out the second page (near the top) of the Pirate Code for the errata. The changes may not be perfect, but it tones them down significantly. There is now only a 1/3 chance of the fire spreading, but wqual chances of it going out or staying the same. Also, you only make the roll for fire when you give the ship an action. If you have the ship just sit there doing nothing, the fire will not spread (of course it won't go out either). The catch is that if you give the ship a second action in the same turn, it has to make the fire roll(s) a second time too. If they still burn up your entire fleet after the change, you're either doing something wrong or you're extremely unlucky. That, or your opponent is a sadist. Also, as Vlad mentioned I did include an item in the Equipment thread specifically to deal with fire masts. Thanks Woelf & Vlad for the clarification on Firemasts. I'd seen the Firemast changes in the Pirates Code but didn't know if it was official. That does make a difference. Also I didn't realise Firemasts continue to burn underwater. Tiamat is in for a surprise next time I see her! Nic

The real problem is that there are very few people really suggesting stuff, and in order to make up for the same few people posting every time, they post more stuff. Your idea could very well work if we had every single member on this forum do something, because then we could have like 100 different ideas. Unfortunately this isn't a perfect world. For this reason, I feel like we're actually pushing people out rather than making them a part of the process, and I personally apologize for this.

Correct, vlad...if anyone feels left out because of the overwhelming amount of stuff...please feel free to say something; that was never the intention...I guess we all just excited about the prospect of a new set that we felt we needed to contribute. I've been drastically cutting back on any new ideas until we actually have somewhere to go with them. Thank you all for your comments and your ideas...
...if we ever get closer to something concrete, I'll probably post more ideas when necessary.

This thread has clearly outlived its purpose, as a thread orginaly started in general I believe to take the discussions out of there before the design board was even made.
If anyone has anymore ideas, just make a thread called "Johny's design stats ideas thread"(with your name, of course), and copy and paste all your ideas from here there, so I can compile a masterlist at a latter date, should production every be sorted out... Until then:
-Thread closed ~Lord D
