I'm sad to hear that since I know how much you have committed yourself to this project.
Expressions of sadness won't change your state, however, so I'll rather say that given your commitment and
belief in this process, I remain quite adamant that you'll pull this off. You have the drive. And that is the one tool that is capable of shaping the metaphysical stuff that is the essence of dreams.
My, my. I'm turning quite poetic. No, I don't drink.
Although it cuts the heart seeing your Flute go down, fat and ladden with rum and slaves, there's always another captain and another ship. And after a Flute, there's always a Frigate.
Hoist the flag on the mizzen and get ready to deliver a broadside with the starboard 24-pounders! 
P.S. And looking at the bright side: you get to use the original title.
Merchants & Marauders sounds like a name, it has character, it distinguishes itself, it stands out.
Age of Piracy just sounds like everything else. It sounds like "We wanted to make a lot of money, but we were so bored that we couldn't come up with anything else." Please. Stick to your convictions and your intuition. Now you know that publishers do not reward you for not doing.
