Try sailing back through fog while exploring if you can, many times they reveal crates with golden tickets, quest items, or just crates of random stuff. I heard storms do as well but run the risk of taking more nav and hull strength.

Our photobucket account can really pay off if the fog is in the same spots, since other players might not get the same quest item, but there usually is still a crate with repair kits in it, at the least.

last round several fleets had mandatory flags and it made those fleets more recognizable... at least to me... when i came across someone with a fleet flag that i knew, it made that person and that fleet stick out more in my head the more i saw it... and to me it symbolized a stronger camaraderie within those fleets as compared to the other ones

either way tho..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20873286 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:15:23 EDT Re: WMP - [DSLR] Sea Dogs - Round 4 - Official Fleet Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20873145 ProtusMose :

looks like most people like the coin, i see it being used in game by several members... good job smatch.

now... should it be mandatory?
I don't know that it should be mandatory; but, it is cool sailing into a harbor and seeing another spinning coin hanging out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20873145 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:49:48 EDT Re: WMP - [DSLR] Sea Dogs - Round 4 - Official Fleet Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20873115 jrock444 : looks like most people like the coin, i see it being used in game by several members... good job smatch.

Awesome job tho!

im having trouble finding something that looks good in a 15px square, im more of a "large resolution" kinda guy :D

what would you guys want on a flag? a logo? a sea dog? (wtf is a sea dog anyway lmao) *does google search* i need some suggestions!!!

edit: tried 2 flags, just a little BBR logo that i stole from the one next to my bookmark for this site and did a google for "sea dog" :D i can look into making it a gif so it looks like its waving.
Haha... nice job on the dog with an earring.. :D

Well, since they are so small, i am a fan of simple shapes like circles... kinda like the smiley face in yours

i like the flag of the ASS fleet from last round, because it is a globe, and the non round parts are transparent, so it looks cool on their ships... like this one:

»walkmyplank.net/member.php?id=11418

also, this guys ring of fire is a neat one... just a simple, easily recognizable shape, but with a little movement to jazz it up.

»walkmyplank.net/member.php?id=11099

So, i'm a fan for a unique shape that is easily recognizable and sets us apart from the basic skullandcrossbones -- but just my opinion, others can chime in. maybe those examples will prompt you for an idea, if not i'll try to think of something else later.

thx.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20867931 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:47:45 EDT Re: WMP - [DSLR] Sea Dogs - Round 4 - Official Fleet Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20867283 Smatchimo : im having trouble finding something that looks good in a 15px square, im more of a "large resolution" kinda guy :D

Sandbars, islands, and reefs should be identical for all players... so it is extrememly helpful in conserving your nav points.

I'll send the login and password to the members i currently recognize online. IM me in-game for login and password if you don't hear from me.

There is an individual album for each port. When taking your screen captures, I suggest clicking the blue book at the bottom of your explore seas screen -- it gives an overview that displays the entire map, as well as the date and time. I loaded one up under the San Pedro album for an example.

I suggest putting the date and time in your filename, so it is easily read -- (7-28 4.49pm.jpg_) -- without having to click on the photo. I was thinking that we could try to have just one image in each ports album... if yours is newer than what is there, upload yours and delete the old.

Open for suggestions as to whether you guys want to stick with the way i started it and my ideas for keeping one photo in each port, or if you want to try something else.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20862854 Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:04:04 EDT Re: WMP - [DSLR] Sea Dogs - Round 4 - Official Fleet Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20862849 Smatchimo : Yea, as a matter of fact, i dont think the mods even allow it.

Small tip to avoid a pointless post:

Disarm your crew before buying a new ship, THEY WILL STEAL YOUR SH*T!!! (Remember, they ARE pirates...)
