Very interested in playing a gunner's mate. I'd love to know what the tech level on the gunnery is. As a New England native, also very familiar with the history of shipbuilding from my native region, since the sailing ships built in Boston (and Baltimore, where I live now) were some of the best on the seas in their time.

Granted, most of the piracy happened further south, but a lot of the privateering, opium and tea trading and slave/rum trading happened right out of New England and the Mid Atlantic regions of the US.

Anyway, oh yes.
