Rewriting a game to work on another platform ain't an easy task mate.

Guess we'll see in time, but for now, I am sticking with POTCo.

I know it's not going to be easy but the FLS would do it for the community. They after all are a community driven game.

POTBS converted me from POTCO. That's saying something.

POTBS? And anyway...i'm Premium on POTBS so I get lots of access due to my past subscription. Free players still can do alot with the limited econ slots, dockyard slots, and stuff but they can get Ship Insurance, Ship Storage, and other things from Treasure Isle once they purchase permanently.

FYI: If you're new to POTBS, join a society!

I had the retail so I didn't have to deal with the massive download time. I actually had it installed long before F2P happened for the game.

Here's some beginner tips:
Do all starter missions so you can get acquainted with the game mechanics
Join any society so they can help you with questions and get ships for discount prices
Don't enter ports under contention and risk losing your ship
Don't activate PvP flag until you feel you have a good ship that can handle the gunfire

And how big is the download file anyway? I bet it's quite a few gigs.

I tried playing POTBS and got extremely confused. Plus, it was lagging majorly but that was somewhat due to my old computer.
I know POTCO can be confusing to new members, but nothing like POTBS. While POTBS has lots more things to do and customize it seems, I definitely have to go with POTCO!
