THE VESSEL LIST

To display the vessel list, click on "Vessel" in the pillage window.

This panel lists everyone on your current vessel as accurately as possible. Pirates are added and removed as they come aboard or leave.

This information comes from the messages that appear in the chat logs; you need to be on the vessel to receive these messages, so if you get off, QuarterMaster will miss some boardings and leavings.

The list will update itself accurately after finishing any battle that does not end in disengagment. You can also enter names manually via the input box at the bottom.

A number at the top of the panel shows how many people are on board, and there is a "Clear" button that clears the entire list.

There is also an action menu you can activate by right-clicking on any pirate on the list.

Rank Icons and Duty Standing Icons (Pillage Icons)

To the left of each pirate name, there is a bar that can display a number of icons. This includes a rank icon and their duty standing icons, if that information is known to QuarterMaster.

These icons will only be accurate as the data stored in your local pirate database. You must load a player's information via the action menu before they will be displayed correctly.

Also displayed, if enabled, are icons indicating members of your gold and black lists.

The rank icon is the rectangular symbol at the left of the display bar. The colors are significant:

  • blue - your home crew members
  • pink - your current jobbing crew members
  • green - other crews
  • yellow - independent pirates
  • gray - swabbies (NPC pirates, also known as bots)

The rank insignia correspond to the insignia used for rank badges on doubloon oceans, which in turn correspond loosely to the insignia used by the British Royal Navy.

Pirates whose information has never been loaded into your database are displayed as a blank green rank icon.

The rank insignia are as follows.

  • Captain
  • Senior Officer
  • Fleet Officer
  • Officer
  • Pirate
  • Cabin Person
  • Independent Pirate
  • Unknown rank
  • Swabbie (bot)

After the rank insignia come the Gold List and Black List icons, if they are enabled in the program options.

Pirates who are on your gold list have a gold star icon, and pirates on either of your blacklists have a black and red diamond shaped icon.

  • Gold List Player
  • Black List Player

The remaining icons are the duty standing icons. They are displayed when you have the data for the pirate recorded in your pirate database, and their standings meet the requirements set in your pillage icon display options. The default setting for each duty puzzle is "Master" or better.

If the pirate meets your requirements for all of the duty puzzles, a single "All Duty" icon will be displayed instead of the six individual icons.

To customize your icon bar display settings, go to the Pillage tab in program options. You can set the required standings and the display order, and you can even choose to turn off specific icons completely.

The duty standing icons appear as follows.

  • Battle Navigation ("Helm")
  • Gunning
  • Duty Navigation
  • Sailing
  • Carpentry
  • Bilging
  • All Duty
