I try to make sure every flag in my port has a ship of some description. A lot of the USN ships I have fly Military Month tho. 1 hour ago, pikohan said: inb4 there are other flags besides Military Month?

Do you get the flag for being a corgi captain or destroying a corgi captain? The description sounds like its only for corigi captains but I have one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I first though it was exclusive to Corgi Captains and the description seems to point to that as well. But like you, many people got it for sinking a Corgi so apparently it wasn't exclusive. Niko did say that neither it nor the great wave corgi flag will be issued out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I was just curious if I was cheating the system or not. I fly it proudly off my masts now. Sorry if it ruins the exclusiveness for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
