I've enjoyed seeing the crowdfunding campaign blow my expectations out of the water. This will be fun to play.

​"Come on is that all you've got" ​ ​"Put your back into!" ​ ​"Not so great while blunt now are ya?" Because it is "loads of fun" to play with an annoying commentary?

I haven't been able to sign in after multiple attempts either, including several password resets. I tried their service e-mail address, but they weren't able to help. Something is definitely effed up on their end. At this rate I may just wait until it's released. Nope, it was my browser (or one of my security add-ons). I temporarily switched to a different browser and I was able to sign in.

Yes, I'm really enjoying Expanse. It must cost a fair amount to make though, what with all the special sets and computer graphics. The gravity on Eros is negligible. Why the heck were they having so much difficulty lugging those devices around?

Tried to visit but it won't sign me in. Guess I'll wait.

I'd guess it would depend on whether the ship provides different rest bonuses, which would require a selection interface. Personally I wouldn't mind if the dropped that entirely and gave us some other bonus, like increased per-rest abilities.

Funny, but Mazzy was one of my favorite characters from BG2. She didn't feel that underdeveloped.

A bonus to disengagement attacks with fast weapons would be a nice additional benefit. You have better control of your facing with a single-handed weapon and no shield, so you should be able to back out of combat more easily. Let that dagger-wielding rogue make hit and run attacks all over the battlefield.

I'd like a sword that doesn't talk like a murderous psychopath. Perhaps even female. Something classy, like a countessa originally trained in the finer arts of sword play, with a deep background and some unique character flaws.

It's a ship built for isometric gaming: a wide, open deck with plenty of walking space and few obstructions. The wood is worn and dull from exposure to the elements, but the ship is sturdy and gets you where you're going.

PEBCAK.

Frankly, I've yet to play with an intelligent weapon that I really liked. For some reason they all seem to be made psychotic in nature, and hence quickly become unappealing to play with. Couldn't we have one that is cultured and refined, like a well aged wine?

Cannons could fire chain-shot to take out the mast or rigging, bringing the opponent's ship to a halt so you could board.

If our "stronghold" is moving about, I suppose we won't have the random visitors like we did in the PoE Stronghold. Also, presumably, no vendors. Maybe though we can have some crafting experts?

I'd rather see nets. Whips are pretty limited weapons against armored opponents.

I suspect that Alchemy was the model here. Animancy in PoE appears to get treated the same way as the Faustian image of certain Alchemical practices during Renaissance Europe. The practitioners weren't seen in the same positive light that came with the pursuit of Science during the Enlightenment. Animancers are mad scientists in pursuit of forbidden knowledge, and often do so through evil means.

Could be the ship's figurehead. A thoroughly morose figurehead who is distraught about the fate of Caed Nua. She gets nauseous on the high seas, and off-color sea shanties sung by a troupe of drunken aumaua is the only thing that will lift her spirits. That and having the ship's cabin boy scrape the barnacles off her heaving bosom.

I'm sure you're right, but I was just going by the image in update #16. Ed.: Actually, that looks a bit like a Cog.

There look to be cannons on the ship, so presumably the extra companions are below decks firing during the approach.

Hmm, where's my bunions of steel flag...

Their pest-riddled hulk of a ship should be called Breaking Wind.
