Hi All, I’m trying this game out as well, though I didn’t realize my username was also my captain name until after I’d already created him. Seeing as I’m on a Mac, I think the interface is a bit different, but we shall see. I’ve been hoping for something somewhat like this for a while. My single-player preference is still strong, but maybe I can have fun anyway.
