Just so I've got this straight.

Goods is basically the crew population cap. We can only has as much crew as we have goods.

Crew determines how effective the ship is in combat, and increases based on total wealth, up to the population cap.

Spice and luxury are interchangeable resources that, besides differing prices in the various colonies, are functionally the same, and are only useful to sell to increase your wealth or to trade with.

Is that right?

When trading, can you make as many transactions as you like in one turn?

Can you gain crew in the same turn you bought the Goods needed to support them?

Yes if you received the goods from sacking a ship, no if you received the goods when trading.

Damn, means it'll take two turns to get any kind of raiding ability. I don't fancy trying to fight anybody when all the pirates are equal and the colonies seem even better defended.

This pirate business seems to have more merchanting in it than pirating. Lets hope we can have some fun by turn 3.

So when do us merchants get to be real pirates?

They don't have to accept the letter right away, and can discuss with people before accepting the letter.

They see "[So and so] sent you a Letter of Marque to do XXX and are offering Y goods and Z gold to do it. Do you accept?"

I have received at least 1 letter, yes.
