As for Kickstarter, consider splitting the difference. There are a ton of small development studios out there looking for something.

But, they need development cash and a project that will attract an audience.

Finding such a company and convincing them that they would have an almost instant Pirates audience maybe a good start.

Then, use Kickstarter to fund the development and hit Pirates players up for initial backing with the promise of garb, gear etc. if they back it.
