I'm on board. Bring back letters of Marque. Let the "Dangerous Catch" crews take on the PLAN and fill those holds with knock-off Rolex's and bootlegged DVDs................that's some "Must-see-TV".

I cant resist an opportunity for specious historical nautical knowledge sharing. Per Wikipedia:
"The following scheme for distribution of prize money was used for much of the Napoleonic wars, the heyday of prize warfare. Allocation was by eighths. Two eighths of the prize money went to the captain or commander, generally propelling him upwards in political and financial circles. One eighth of the money went to the admiral or commander-in-chief who signed the ship's written orders (unless the orders came directly from the Admiralty in London, in which case this eighth also went to the captain). One eighth was divided among the lieutenants, sailing master, and captain of marines, if any. One eighth was divided among the wardroom warrant officers (surgeon, purser, and chaplain), standing warrant officers (carpenter, boatswain, and gunner), lieutenant of marines, and the master's mates. One eighth was divided among the junior warrant and petty officers, their mates, sergeants of marines, captain's clerk, surgeon's mates, and midshipmen. The final two eighths were divided among the crew, with able and specialist seamen receiving larger shares than ordinary seamen, landsmen, and boys.[1][2] The pool for the seamen was divided into shares, with each able seaman getting two shares in the pool (referred to as a fifth-class share), an ordinary seaman received a share and a half (referred to as a sixth-class share), landsmen received a share each (a seventh-class share), and boys received a half share each (referred to as an eighth-class share)."

I knew it was that scurvy cur Craigs S. Faller taking all the loot. He just sat at the base like a coward. What the heck is he getting all that for. I actually did it. And he never manned up and took the gun ship. What a mamby-pamby, reactor electrical division officer he is. Why is he getting that much if he can't get the loot without a fighter pilot doing it for him is what I want to know.
