Someone should get a video up when the game releases showing the Failboat doing a suicide sail right into a fleet of enemy ships. No firing at the enemy, no attempt to do anything but meet demise.

No it doesn't. It means trousers/leggings/bottoms/pants/other phrases used.

Or, pantsless referring to being drunk, under the assumption they remove their pants when so.

Mate, I meant in the UK pants means underwear not the US version which means Trousers.

Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement

Possibly just a long series of Hand of God

I wonder about the names whether we get a default name based on number of units of that type raised/raised in that region?

HMS 'Ni!' Enemies will roll over and die at the sight of it, provided there's no ship named 'It' on their side.

Obviously, my French fleet willl be stuffed with ships like 'Yourr Mother Was a Hamster' and 'Your Father Smelled of Elderberries' or 'I Fart in Your General Direction'. I do so much love being lame.

*Always to the same type of ship, in the same fleet, next to eachother in the line.

Not exactly the most traditional names but I want them to have a bit of personality. Plus I think in the real world the enemy would be a bit more scared of HMS Kiss my Ass than HMS Queen Elizabeth II.
Some of these names are hilarious

Your ships made me laugh so I'm only going to shoot down your masts and spare you from drowning.

Ships should be named after women and loved accordingly.

Same in the United Kingdom, at least in North-West England. We call them underpants/boxers/y-fronts.

Problem with that ship, does it start off sinking, or just barely staying afloat?

I will prob give normal names anyway, i wouldnt beable to stand looking at silly names for a long period of time, as i think it spoils the atmosphere, my flag ship will probably be H.M.S. Subjugation or Liberation.

How dare you! It has been nothing but tightly regulated! Its Great Captain had kept a watchful eye upon the books, no matter that it was covered with an eye patch on account of him being half blind...

HMS Accountabilty Is NOT In The Contract, will be a first rater, having the ability to fend off all comers.

I am really looking foreward to an HMS Bugger.

You May Not Be The Coolest Person Here

If we can have official (unoffical) privateers, one has to be called The Crimson Permanent Assurance

Edit: Ohh oooh: Dzunda, Velpin, Isaut & Luseferous VII
