Can certain pirates run faster than others?

I personally never heard of this. To the best of my knowledge all Pirate characters are created from the same mold and there are no skill points for running speed.

This does bring up an old subject that we should dust off out of the Forum archives.....Windcatcher.... Did they fix it? If not, has this been brought up recently? No point in wasting skill points if the skill is useless.

Welp, back in the good ole days, my windcatcher made me incredibly fast, but those days are long gone. I don't know if they fixed it or not, I re-allocated my skills and took all but two points out of it after they so drastically lessened the skill's effect. So can't say for sure... regardless, not worth maxing like it used to be...

The past history of this has been demonstrated by the Internet connection. So when a pirate was created I think has nothing to do with it.

If you took a high speed connection versus a dial-up connection it may be likely you see the fast speed of connection running faster, reacting faster, while slower connections are hanging up more, lagging. This all depends on what filters the game has though.
