I want Sid to do something new... that is where he shines. You can tell he really isn't interested in sequals (he passes them down to others). Pirates II though has the possibility to be real good, since it's been so long since Pirates! that it is almost like making a new game.

Removing all the non trivial bugs shouldn't be too hard, but that should be just patches, not a new game.

To warrant a new game, substantial amounts of new material are needed. That's why I said it's very hard to design a sequel to Alpha Centauri.
