Welcome
This week we started development of PotE (Pirates of the Empire) and we have already made some great progress, first of all we have built the basic UI layout and system, secondly we managed to get a counterstrike source map running inside of the source sdk.

We are now going to continue developing the game systems, and start designing in-game assets for PotE.

We will keep you posted!

We are looking into this idea, prehaps also sinkable, but if this was the case we would probebly make the ship partly destructable (hull sections, masts snap, windows smash, deck has holes, etc.)

And then the ship would start to sink and you would have to either go down with it (if your trapped in the lower decks) or escape and board the enemy ship, or try and stay afloat on the larger pieces of floating debris.

Thanks.

Currently the core of the team is based in the United Kingdom, we have one artist working from home in the US. Most members have previous experience within the mod and games industry.

Oh this mod is gonna be awesome. The people who made Battlefield Pirates had just started on a pirate mod called " Mist " for HL2, but they decided to cancel it because they already were working on a pirate mod for BF2 and Crysis. When I heard the HL2 mod were canceled I cried a bit. But when I hear that a new pirate mod has rised again, I am UBER HAPPY :D Maybe in later releases of this mod, there will be pirates versus the navy guys?

Hello, yes this is a possibility, although due to current resources and team members we are looking at releasing BETA with two teams of pirates, and a single map. We dont have a date for this yet, but we will be keeping you all updated!

Yes, Players choose a team and class, and get a weapon set (rifle, pistol, sword, explosive) and each team owns either a ship or an island/landmass. This depends on the map in question of course.

Each ship will have a certain number of cannons, and each island will also have a fort which, in turn has the same number of cannons.
