It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Take Command of HMS Foraker, a powerful sailing frigate. Manage your crew to keep them at full combat readiness. Deal with smugglers, slavers, and other unsavoury characters for tactical advantage or personal gain. Do what must be done to ensure victory, or curry favour with your superiors back home. Tackle storms, accidents, and a dozen other random events.
