Bigger ships can actually be much faster than smaller ones that aren't built specially for speed. It's counterintuitive, but it has to do with length versus width giving them a more slender profile overall and with the volume of sail they can put out. Smaller ships can fly better around in poor conditions, but they will get run the gently caress down by a ship-of-the-line in other conditions. Cutters and clippers are exceptions but only by using the same principle: lots of sail, narrow designs.

Gamesguy posted:The crew left on the ship are probably just sailors with little training or experience in close quarters fighting. It's also not that ahistorical, here is an instance where 100 British marines and sailors rowed up to a Spanish frigate with about 400 crew and took the ship while suffering only 11 wounded and none dead. 119 Spaniards were killed with the rest captured. I'm perfectly willing to accept as an answer that British navy (and English speaking pirates)>Spanish navy.

I read something on a monument of some kind in Key West that pirates used to use their smaller ships with shallower drafts to hide in areas too shallow for more heavily armed ships to navigate until the navy got some smaller ships. I guess it all depends on where the blue water navy finds you.

From the highly realistic simulator Sid Meier's Pirates ! I've learned even a single man can take over a fully manned war galleon.

Took me a while to remember too but Flint convinced uppity lady to let him get the gold. Then Vane flopped his dick out and took over the guard stations from the island so he's kinda not really the bouncer now. That's all the big plot points that carry over.

They threw some names around but the only thing that matters is that Flint is in the royal navy and has been tasked with helping that one dude deal with the pirate situation. Obviously at some point something happens to make him switch, but so far we don't know anything beyond that.

I hope Flint getting 'exiled' by his crew is leading to him teaming up with Jack so all the cool guys can be on one ship.

You're doing good work, and I felt you should know it is appreciated. Thanks man. All that work paid off last season with a emmy win. It was pretty cool to get that nod. I actually bought a old wooden boat pulley with hemp rope on it off ebay at the beginning of last season and clamped it onto some pallets and other wood things and pulled on it to create a lot of "wood stress" sounds. meristem posted:Haha, my question was half a joke... But yeah, like the others said, great job! If you ever do one of those 'how we do the scene' videos, I hope to be able to see it. I will try to take a screen shot of my session so you guys can see how complex the sfx editorial is on this. You wont really be able to make anything out and I wont be able to get the total number of tracks to even be on the screen but yeah.

I always thought bring a foley artist would be one of the most fun jobs. I'm sure sometimes the hours suck and it can be frustrating, but man, getting paid to make noises would almost fulfill my lost dream of being a successful musician.

The best foley comes in 5 frames later then the action and needs very little editing. Its kind of crazy that the foley artist can process what they are seeing on the screen and do the exact same performance in time just with a slight delay. 5 frames is about 250ms. crazy.

That was just how the real Ned Low rolled, he in fact showed mercy by simply shooting everyone. quote:He captained a number of ships, usually maintaining a small fleet of three or four. Low and his pirate crews captured at least a hundred ships during his short career, burning most of them.[1] Although he was active for only three years, Low remains notorious as one of the most vicious pirates of the age, with a reputation for violently torturing his victims before killing them.[2]

I think we are meant to believe that he was telling the truth to the captain when he said he would have spared them had the girl not been on the ship. I love the mix of real pirates with made up pirates. I really hope we see the real Blackbeard, although the joke in the first season was fantastic.

I want Black Sam Bellamy damnit! They already sort of stole his famous speech in episode 1, but he's one of my favorite pirates and sounded like a pretty cool dude, you know, for a murderer/thief.

I can remember watching season 1 but barely remembered anything and felt this first episode of S2 was great, so great I'm going back and watching S1 again. Zach McGowan has that weird Brad Pitt vibe where you really want to hate him but in every interview/extra you see him in you just can't do it.

The intro/music of Marco Polo, a new Netflix show reminded me of Black Sails and now that I'm actually thinking of the two shows they're pretty similar, if you can handle some silly pirate poo poo in Black Sails you should be able to handle some silly kung fu poo poo in Marco Polo at least.

Yeah, that's one of the extras I was thinking about when I said it, there's a behind the scenes thing with him and Joan Cusack where he can't help but act like a 12 year old kid around her that's hilarious.
