Up to four teams
compete, with each player taking a specific Pirate role from the four different
types available.
Each character class
has different strengths, weaknesses and special abilities.
Pirates have
unlimited lives and cannot be eliminated from the mission.
Shots and missiles,
however, are limited, and Pirates must be regularly resupplied by their ammo
carrier.

Resupply; The Ammo Carrier resupplies players on their own team
by zapping or missiling them while they are up. Zapping them resupplies their shots, while missiling
resupplies the missiles. A Captain cannot use missiles and so should not be missiled as it counts as a normal missile hit. |
