What is this?
"Pirates of Skyrim: The Northern Cardinal under the Black Flag" is a massive expansion of the "Northern Cardinal" mod by swordboy.
This introduces pirating to Skyrim. You can henceforth sail the Sea of Ghosts, explore the ocean floor, have naval battles, pillage unique treasure, and display it in your upgraded captain's cabin, manage your crew, and more.
The Sea of Ghosts
Sail the Northern Cardinal (that's the ship's name if you haven't played the mod before) to the Sea of Ghosts and explore the ocean floor. Dive for pearls the size of your head and discover sunken ships filled with treasure waiting for you to loot them. Rescue a shipwrecked blacksmith from a slow death at sea and make him part of your crew. The 'ocean features' like wrecks and treasure etc. spawn and unspawn randomly every time you sail the Sea of Ghosts creating the illusion of an actual ocean you are sailing.
You will need a crew of three in order to sail the Sea of Ghosts.
Board unsuspecting, sailing merchants, Imperial Ships, Stormcloaks...
...Pirates....
...or a huge Imperial Battleship...
(can be - de facto - disabled by typing "set aacrewmorale to 999" into the console)
Your crew won't be sailing for free anymore. From time to time you will have to either share the spoils of your pillaging with them, or, even better, provide them with bottles of rum! The management of your crew is done via your first mate's dialogue options.
The amount of gold you will have to pay is based on a formula, the formula makes it so a smaller crew is not necessarily cheaper to maintain than a larger one and further takes the players gold into account.
Tell your crew mates to be part of the boarding squad, guaranteeing that they will be in the first row when the action is happening.
