I am proud to say I'm a heavy dabbler in the works of Tesla and have devised a blunderbuss that fires a larger charged insulator that splatters upon impact inducing a large charge on whatever you hit. This was developed for use in ship to ship combat so that you can induce lightning on the balloons of an attacking vessel. We just need to grab some chemicals to make this thing called a wet cell, some copper coils and an iron core to make a "transformer" which doesnt even change shape, and a capacitor which builds up spurts of electricity, so that when you fire you close the circuit and cause an arc across the muzzle enveloping the bullet as it travels through.
The next idea is a gauss cannon where we can fire it simply by rigging up some lightning rods and using the power. we just wrap parts of the cannon (which can be carved from wood cause it doesnt explode) in wire and rig up some switches so that you move the cannonball as it moves through. Do note that you need to start the propulsion with a blast of air, preferably steam to keep it explosives free.
Also I had the idea but couldn't figure out how to design it, a steam fed automatic loading carbine

You would be a very welcome addition to our fleet. |

A fleet we may be, but pirates still none the less..
how do i know you wont turn on my ship or others AFTER the battle is finished?
as a pirate my main rule is to never trust pirates.

You do not know we will not turn on you.
In fact you know we will ALL turn on each other.
But we are PIRATES!
Pirates pirate each other!
That is what we do.
We will just ensure that we may maintain the right to pillage each other.

Well as a well learned pirate I cant stress nearly enough the ability for a captain to both have charisma and aeronautical expertise, not to mention some excellent warring and combat skills. A leader a manager a pilot and a warrior is something I look for and something you can't find by brandishing your weapons.

as long as we have one COMMON enemy.
I believe I can put aside all other ....distractions, until we're victorious.
who is in our fleet so far, and are we having a hard time 'persuading' anyone who hasnt joined?

To all air-pirates, this is a formal declaration of war.
If you surrender immediately, you will revieve nothing more than a relatively light custodial sentence. However; if you decide to oppose the might of the imperial aero-navies, you will burn. Your ships will burn. Your families, and all you hold dear to you will be cast into the ocean and left for the sharks. We will proceed to systematically strike you from the record books. But for the wrecks of a few airships on the bottom of the sea, it will be as if you had never existed. Do you really want to be annihilated so completely?
The choice is yours. Atone for your sins or face oblivion.

Though our families may burn, and our ships drown, we will live on in legend through the generations of pirates ahead.

*a woman in a sugar-pink cloak clears her throat discreetly*
To the Captain of the Reckless Abandon! May I offer my services to the cause? A seamstress I am by trade, and I tire of making dainty gowns and shirts for those Imperialist twits. I have a keen eye, the quality of my work is beyond compare and if it should come to the fight I can rip a man's brain out with a crochet hook.

We'll have the cap'n talk to you, m'dear. I am only the engineer.
But tell me, can you sew and boil leather? Can you repair a sail or a zepplin envelope?

What do you take me for, a doily maker? I'm the best damn seamstress this side of Tortuga, and the only one with more than one needle in her case. |

I'm afraid not. Pirates have mouths, my friend. Yeah did you chaps know that it was BlackBeard's goal to go down in history? And just look where he ended up; you just say BlackBeard and people are like "Yeah pirate .. pretty scary, wouldn't like to meet him in a dark galley" and its 400 years later! Strike someone from the records who doesn't want to be striken? Easier said than done! |

I was about to suggest how ungentlemanly it is to command a woman to take to the guns, but it appears she is all too keen.
