Ports of Call: Company Logos

A big part of Ports of Call, especially if playing with others, is starting a freight company. When you do that, you can choose from a collection of 10 icons to represent your company. The symbols differentiate your ships from those of other players (and their companies). (Btw, I used some of the team colors from MLS.)

Ports of Call: Sample Page (WIP)

I'm finally making some progress with Ports of Call. I've literally gotten more done over the last three days than in the previous 3 months. Today I wrote descriptions for some of the ships. Here is one of the pages (note, this is still a work in progress so stats and wording may change).
