I thought the pirate cycle had been shit canned? Steel canned to be more precise... it'll be about the Steelheads and their new guns.

I thought the pirate cycle had been shit canned? Only if they drop the pirate line in total. It will come, it just has been delayed.

Next will be the Monsterpocalypse CID... and not one toss will be given! Not true, I know quite a few people who simply can't or won't pick up a full wargame anymore but are looking forward to monpoc.

Also I believe they said CID will not be for non-Warmachine games.

Honestly, what more can they do with pirates? They can't do heavy infantry or cavalry and they already have 2 forms of light infantry and artillery. As has been stated they have lots of support solos and 3 casters. The only possible thing that I can think of is a ranged unit using rifles or a pole arm using unit.

A pirate CiD would have been more of a legacy update rather than more new models like Retribution had (which would probably just be a caster and a character jack/battle engine or something).

Id REALLY dig a pirate BE. Something humorous and covered in Swamp Goblin River Raiders.

Perhaps not do a pirate theme in less time that it takes to say "Plz stop making Pirate of the Caribbean movies!"? Allow more stuff in the theme? 2 suggestions: - Give an ability to Hawk that allows her to make add privateer to a friendly faction unit while remaining a solo. - Change Lord Rockbottom into a CA and just give tough to the Sea Dogs. If needed back these changes into the theme so mercs as a faction remains unchanged.

Pirate CID could bring a new caster, A ranged unit, some UA's and then a huge host of legacy changes. That's what the pirates need.

Do not forget, there are only 3 "Privateer" 'jacks as well. While they can use the "Sellsword" 'jacks, there is still some design space to adding more Aquatic 'jacks to the list, and that's not even considering the possibility of new Character 'jacks for Shae, Bart, and Fiona.
And could we consider epic Privateer 'casters as a possibility as well?
