Hello
Hope your PC upgrade works ok.
About Smuggler mod, one can use it as easy introduction to aop2 coas.
Myself I have potc, aop, and now aop2 coas.
With extra p.i.r.a.t.e.s points one do not die in first fight, and has time
to learn sword fights tricks. Same goes for sea battles, instead of large
pirate armadas, there are only one or two Scooners or lugger, so you have
time to learn sea battle tricks.
Now for experieced player like me who has seen it all.
Smuggler mod is a playing style mod. Smugglin keeps my ship and crew
in food and rom and repairs etc.Colonial Schooner rig works with
wind direction like real sails do, not perfect, but good enough for me.
I have owned a sailin boat. For Weather, sea enviroment I tried to make
waves look a bit like SH3/SH4. but there are a lot to improve,
most important thing to do is for "wind/wave" to have a same direction.
Here is a link to website that is for "pirates" like what subsim is for "subs."
