If you find out how to craft something, and you have the proper artisans at the right level and the requisite materials, you can just fill in everything manually. So I crafted large saddle bags, so now I can refill my inventory from any horsie.
I also finished all the privateer contracts, though not at 100% synch. Its like my ship is powerful enough that enemies aren't really a threat, its the pesky optional objectives that get me. Like having to ensure a certain number of allied ships survive, or the Giant and the Storm mission. In it, you face three Man-O-Wars, but to get 100% synch, you have to destroy them in a specific way, expose their weak point and then use the swivel cannon to blow of their powder stores once they're vulnerable. Unfortunately, my ship is a little too powerful, so it easy to kill them outright. Well, not outright, but its hard to hit them just enough to expose the stores, but not hard enough to kill them. Especially with the storm raging, as the giant waves block your shots, so its hard to tell how many times you've actually hit them.
But I do have a better hang of the ammo types- grapeshot for the smaller ships, hot shot for the bigger ships, to expose the weak points and shoot them with the swivel cannon, and chain shot is basically like an ion cannon- it tears down their masts to leave them dead in the water.
TV commentary:
Covert Affairs- I can't believe Annie didn't expect that! ( spoiler cut )
Person of Interest- Interesting, so this week's CotW (well, second CotW, since Miles from Lost was the firsT) was a lesbian married to another chick, and it wasn't a thing. Ida know, I just thought it was cool that these two chicks were married and the show treated them as they would a heterosexual couple. ( spoiler cut )
Last Resort- This Booth guy (if that is his real name) is telling the truth, that does make things interesting. ( spoiler cut )
