Pirates / Fleet Game

[Faille]

Another idea I had for a game, though more of an extension, is to have fleet vs fleet battles in Pirates style game. I don't remember playing the latest version of Pirates so maybe it was already added, but it was something I thought was missing from the original.

I'd love to command a fleet of ships of various sizes and use them to out maneuver oppositions. Some factors would be wind, current, depth, all sorts of weapon factors.

Could also have some RPG elements so that characters can get better at reading things like wind and current, and thus they are able to see those things with a greater range from their ships.

Also, while the Caribbean is the best setting for any sort of Pirate game, I wouldn't mind being able to sail in the Mediterranean, North Sea (vikings!!), SE Asia, etc.
