    Yes it feels very organic, but like most online games I approach it feels intimidating to play without having someone that guides you through it or at least shares your newbieness

      Yeah definitely. I was lucky enough to have a friend show me the ropes. Definitely the way to go, there are so many tiny things to learn.

      If you’re being pursued by another ship there are tons of variables that need to eventually become second nature. You need to keep the sails in the right direction relative to the wind, make sure you’re have equipment and ammo in your pockets, make sure you’re not taking on water (or if you are, know how long before you NEED to go bail), and in the back of your mind have an idea of what your opponent could be doing to get on board your ship (cannon angle/distance etc).

      It can be quite daunting, but on the bright side, there are virtually no unlockable upgrades to give one player an advantage over another. It’s a very level playing field, and the only real advantages come from knowledge and skill.
