SPD 3 , not SPD 2
Great for boarding and capturing other ships scenarios. Lots of new features and interesting changes over the older SPD2: Capturing tools such as grapple, towlines capturing sailors of other ships and an option to scuttle by exploding a powder keg. Can also be set into the older SPD2 mode. Reading the note-cards before use is recommended even if you are an experienced sailor. No more kedge-anchors but using sails to back up in the wind instead. At times the ship becomes unresponsive for some time. I think this may be due to sim permissions suppressing certain aspects of the scripts.Over all i would say not quite ready yet. But way ahead of its time and leading new developments for the SPD system. I am looking forward to see a more refined version with streamlined scripts in the future.
There
is no customer support. He will ignore you. I followed the instructions to the T it didn't do what it was suppose to do. I threw my money out the window on this one.
