Yarr, thar be tweetin'.

I've just set up a Twitter feed so that I can interact with users of the site in a smaller, more informal way. Perhaps you'd care to follow @PotBSCompanion - there isn't much on there at the moment but I'll get it sorted..!

I'm still working on updates when I can - essentially, I'm rebuilding the entire site, the original one was built in a bit of a hurry and without too much planning or thought for design (I'm a programmer, not an artist), and I have a better system to put everything nice and ordered and easier to work on - I just have to convert all the pages. I'm going to try and post some in-progress screens to the afore mentioned Twitter page.

On another note - Thanks to everyone who helped with the survey. I wanted to make sure that the time I was spending was going to go into the right areas.

Thanks for your continued visitation and support of the site, now login and create some societies, will you? :)

New Ship Added - Centurion

I've just been alerted to another new ship appearing in game, the Centurion 3rd Rate. I've added it to the database but it needs filling in with pictures and its stats. To edit content in the database, log into your account (or create one for free) and you'll see an edit button.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

San Fernando & Updates soon - I promise!

I've been made aware of a new ship, the San Fernando which you can get from the Treasure Aisle and was introduced in October/November.

I've added it to the listings, but at the moment it has no stats.... Perhaps someone would be community minded enough to fill in the details?

I know I keep saying this, but major site updates are on the way! Hopefully I will get to finish them off over the Christmas break and get them up and running in time for 2012.

The site is now 3 years old and the changes I have should bring things right up to date...!

Time Flies!

I just wanted to write a quick entry because i'm aware that I've not been posting regularly.

I'm still working on new features and new styling for the site when I get the time, but real work has to come first or I don't eat :-)

In the meantime, you may have noticed I added a Facebook like box and a Google plus box to the top of the main page. It'd be awesome if you thought the site worthy of being liked or plussed.

I'll try and update more later!

Additions to Ship List

I've just added the Deliverance Mastercraft Frigate and the Conquistador Mastercraft Frigate to the ship list.

I've added in the statistics from the game screens, but I don't remember where the link to the hidden OS speed and wind modifiers are, so if anyone has access to those, please be so kind as to add in the information.

Sorry for the omissions!

Ship Combat Skill Planner - Updated!

The new changes for Power and Prestige are out - and have been for a while it would seem, and those changes made the current skill planner somewhat useless.

So, in order to make this part of the site far less useless i've updated the database with the new skills and images. Sorry but I haven't had time to look at putting in the skill descriptions and effects yet, but I will get around to it when I can!

Feel free to go ahead to http://www.potbs-companion.net/skills to partake in some lovely skill-building goodness!

Let me know if anything still doesn't look right.....! If you don't tell me, I can't fix it!

New Look Blog

Has it really been FEBRUARY since I did any updates to the site? Sorry about that, i've been a little bit snowed under with other work.

I have had a few minutes spare though to see what new things Google and Blogger have been coming up with, and I thought i'd make use of some of their new templates and widgets to refresh the look of this blog. I hope you'll agree that it does look somewhat fresher than it did previously.

Actually, I have a fairly substantial design change for the main site in the works, but I haven't had a chance to work on it probably since about... well, February apparently! I will reveal some more later but right now I can't say when it will be finished and ready to go live.

The site isn't dead - in fact with Pirates going F2P more people are starting to come back to the site, which suggests more people are playing the game again, so keep letting me know your thoughts and i'll try and get some new stuff on the site soon!
