[QUOTE=Sierra Indigo] 28 gaming hours in TF2 in the last week says blow me 😉 [/QUOTE] No chance - you’re probably married to one of those annoyingly buff Aussie surfer types. I try to ensure that any angry husbands i have to deal with are smaller than me 😛 Getting back on topic, I’m finally reconnected so should start popping up occasionally again on PotBS now if any newcomers need a hand. Thinking about it, if there are enough peeps playing we should start a society or something. ---

One question that’s been bugging me- can you ride around and assist on a friend’s ship, or is everyone basically their own ship? I’ve been wanting a truly cooperative space or sailing game, one where my friends and I can run around on our collective ship. Of course, that brings up the issue of “what happens to the ship and everyone aboard it when the captain/ship owner disconnects”, but still… ---

No - everyone gets their own ship. So collaborative stuff is effectively like being in a small naval squadron. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-play-pirates-of-the-burning-sea/438984.md?page=1)
