The Fully Functional Pirate Ship: v3.54

This is SL's only fully functional pirate ship! You and your crew wear a HUD to aim the cannons and fire them. The ship's HP is displayed on the HUD, as is the ammount of ammunition left. If you run out of ammunition, you can just pull up next to the Ammo Depot (included) and click it to re-stock.

Anyone with a HUD (and who knows what channel you set your ship to) can control the cannons, but only the owner can actually pilot the ship. The physics are very similar to Kanker Greenacre's realistic SL sailboat, but have been tweaked to act more like the sort of ship this is. I've added a second sail, which also effects the physics.

Two or more of these ships can engage in battle; they sense and record hits from each other. When your hp gets to a certain level, the ship will become incapacitated and will billow smoke. If it gets down to 0 HP, it will capsize, then sink to the bottom of the sea.

In combination with the Speculaas melee system, this makes for some very exciting naval battles!

I have been updating this ship continually, and will continue to do so. Just IM Chase Speculaas for free updated versions of the ship or for help with any technical problems with it :)

This is a must-have for any serious SL Pirate!
