To everyone who has been supporting my little trading company. We spent several weeks at Savanna la Mar. Each day reviewing and judging the markets and trying to determine a decent cargo for our run to the west. Eventually we made the trip under clear skies. We were happy to see lots of British ships off the west coast of the main island. Cheers to everyone who patrols Jamaica. Soon we were all alone on the open water with no land in sight. I’m starting to like it out there where we can see so far. This ship (The Little Tuck) is really fast. We arrived in Cayman Brac, sold our cargo and established an outpost. Here they love Caribbean Goods and in La Navasse they like Pirate Goods. I made 4 delivery orders from here to Navasse and am eager to find out if they survived the trip and what the profit will be. I've had lots of people give me advice about how to make the deliveries work and I have my fingers crossed I was successful. Should know when I reach La Navasse in a couple weeks. If they worked well I’ll set up some deliveries (of Caribbean Goods) back to the Caymans. If they didn't work I've squandered a huge part of my net worth. I have also received a letter from The British R. Admiral Young encouraging me to sail soon to Castries. He says there is lots of action there as it is close to the front. I’m not sure why he thinks that a simple trader like myself would want to be near action. It sounds dangerous and risky. But the crew are all excited and think we should go. It is a long trip from La Navasse to Castries. Two weeks unbroken sailing on one straight heading. Much longer if we have to run from hostile foe. On the way we can stop at the local ports and clean up my outstanding contracts. Who knows when we will be back this way.

I think Sweden can make you an offer you can't refuse

Are you planning to add a custom-battle-room? Similar to War Thunder Will the Santa Cecilia ever be obtainable again? right now there is literally not a single way to get a new one besides trading for one of the ones that were given as redeemables to the few tournament winners. Not that important but still: When are the paints that are already in the API but not ingame yet (example Surprise paints etc.) going to be added? Are you planning to interfere to the whole 'Nightflip' problematic or do you think that it's a thing players should fix/manage on their own? Do you think the sternrakes are finalized or will you still tweak them? (A Carronade fitted Surprise killing 100+ crew off a Frigate in 1 rake) Are you planning to add some sort of BR-limits to Port Battles (seeing 25v25 Agamemnons / 1st rates only is getting a bit boring, imo) Are you still planning to add a pvp-currency with which rare modules / paints can be bought in a special shop?

Joba is a member of Black Clan Pirates on PvP2. He is the mastermind behind operation Camel Toe and he and a few guys got it rolling while we were down defending Castries. We may not have the numbers but we have small groups of people dedicated to specific targets designed to bring salty tears.

More players are surfacing for France - some new, some old faces. Linguine Mike and Train54 were both playing earlier today. More new players just joined the SINK clan - 14 of us now. Who wants to make the move to France on PvP2 and help balance the nations?

Hey all, Let's trust Dev's, lots of modifications have been made on NA project, some drasticly reversed, they are going forward step by step. This TZ problem with unbalanced playerbase activity is for sure taken into account as a major issue. Let's hope for a Global server fully international with PB mechanics that reduce this unbalanced situation.

Is your long term intention for global or regional servers ? Will we be getting some clan love ?

I'm General Cornwallis and I have to say this is utterly ridiculous… I joined the battle in the Hopes of helping out since I have an outpost in Castries. I had no idea that joining a battle would take a slot or cause any issues whatsoever. Although, I did realise immediately that my Third rate was not the right ship as I was surrounded by Victories. In my own defense, I did bring an LS which is what I was told should be used for PB's. I was immediately convoed by several people asking why I had joined the battle and that I should leave immediately. Realising my error, I left, to only find out that now I’m considered a spy. I have never been treated so harshly in a game which provides very little information for new players and the dynamics involved in in PB’s. I merely wanted to help out... ARE ALL PLAYERS IN THIS GAME PRICKS? Moving forward…I will leave the PB’s to your obvious superior intellects and am seriously debating whether this game is even worth playing…

Hello Captains. Question time. Ask us anything in relation of Naval Action its gameplay, current plans or anything you wanted to find out. Please number questions and provide them as a list. ps. game labs related questions are also ok.

Hello dear Devs, please implement a br-even joining function referred to the signaling perk. That would lead to more even and fair battles in the event and participation may increase. Thank for keeping it in mind. Best Regards Donjuan

I'm not a Danish combat Commander.

I'm still surprised how much you guys care about some colored pixels on a map. Maybe it's the best for you all if you get reduced to one region and see that there is still other stuff to do in this amazing game. Still hoping port raids will bring back pvp/ow pvp. Please devs don't fu#k this up. So gents hit Sail more often step away from rvr and relax a bit, we are testing after all and nothing is final. Smash that sail button!

Hostility generation was permitted during the truce, we didn't have a problem with that OR the coordinated 2 other battles being planned at the same time. My issue was with Wilmington being attacked itself. NorthViking came to us and said we need to have a truce for the orthodox Christmas, we would like you guys to back off your Savannah attack. If you do not we will attack Wilmington during the downtime with the Brit alliance. This implied that Wilmington would be off limits during the downtime as we agreed to our side of the deal. The very next day hostility was generated against Wilmington, along with the other 2 regions, therefore, breaking the agreement. While all 3 battles were set North again came to us with a couple of swedes saying we want you guys to give up night flips 5 our 7 nights a week to make things fair. If you agree we will call off the attacks. We told them to kiss our asses and they promptly lost all 3 battles. The great RUS/RDNN fleet hasn't been seen in force since. Don't let the night flips bullshit fool you, this is the real reason. That is why we are pissed and why Santa Domingo/Savannah was double night flipped. And also why we will never enter into another agreement with the Danes.

Forgot to mention (thanks oldcrankyman for reminder) We thought for a very long time of a system that will allow us to identify alts who are exploiting hostility mechanics Some systems involved counting surrenders and limiting surrenders after a certain limit, other systems were based on damage vs kills vs kills in other ares. Many ideas were discussed but they all affected normal players in one or another way.. After careful deliberations we did not want to limit gameplay of normal players (because all systems and limitations will limit normal people in some or another way). So we have decided to just ban the bastards. So the new rule starting now is. For the period of testing until release using alts to generating hostility is a bannable offence. Report a person who is an alt or was an alt Report a port that he was helping to get hostility on His account will be investigated and if he is found to be exploiting the mechanics he will get banned from the game until release. His most active trading partner accounts will also be investigated and might be cleared from assets if they are his only trading partners. Report the alts to any mods (especially Ink) and here in the tribunal. Identify potential time of the abuse, name, nation, region name. If you have screenshots it will speed up the things. Clarification. By abuse we mean directly generating hostility for the enemy by means of sinking or surrendering. Other methods of abuse could also happen and will be reviewed separately Economic warfare and spying by alts is allowed. Remember that lose lips can lose ships.

Dear PvP1 Players/testers and dear DEV's, For several weeks our coalition tried to fight back Port attacks that were set at very late hours, with lots of players ruining their real life nights. - Some Port attacks were deliberatly set by opponants with no intention to show fleets but only to discourage the defenders that stayed awake so late. - Since hostility has become faster to build up, nightflips have increased. - Due to multiple time zone player base belonging to the Brits/Dutch/USA coalition, our coalition that is 90% based on European player base has never been capable to fight back & set any nightflips. Considering the above points, our coalition, that includes many reasonable but passionated NA players/testers, comes to the fact that nightflips are not sustainable anymore. It does not make any sense despite all the good will of our coalition player base. Real life is a priority for us as well as playing/testing logical & balanced strategy wargame mechanics. So our coalition declares that every Port attack set up later than 00:00h server time will not be attended & therefore contested. This decision is only meant to be pro-active for NA testing project since it will physically show unbalanced territories occupation on NA map that are exclusively linked to PVP1 server population & reactivity. This unbalanced result will mostly reveal the emergency for DEV's to fix the highly critical issue of "real life factor - player time zone factor". These factors MUST be taken into account to produce a sensible strategy game. Thank you & good wind all.

get rid of circles, implement Pvp lobby event

Easiest way to learn is just get in there and fight. Don't be afraid to lose because in losing we learn by our mistakes....can I be any more cliche? Experiment with different loadouts, mix the ships up in your fleet, and learn some different maneuvers. Everything in Naval Action is a path towards ships fighting ships. There are way too many people missing out on the fun because they think that there is more to the game than there really is. It's just that simple.

We need to build a wall between the alliances.... It is clear that Lord Vicious should pay...

Hear ye hear ye #makesmallbattlesgreatagain That is all.

"gunports" that is But I would advice you to cut them later. Its very easy to model along the hull when it still i in one piece. Means you have an easier time modeling the wales and all that needs to be attached to the hull. When your gunpots are cut you might have a harder time figuring all that out. What you can do is use the boolean modifier as a preview. But editing the hull is a lot easier when it still is in one piece so tosay. Other than that your vessel is turing out better after each new post

Designated trol. You talk much and you know nothing.

Im also interested in this as I think that historically in the age of sails era Portugal is way > than Denmark and Sweden together. Hence why we have two languages down shouth there today - Portuguese and Spanish No offence intended.

After "Official Release" and patches, do you intend to continue to develop and expand the game? or will the final release be a mostly feature finished game?

is there any plans to add Portugal?

Savanna Line Ship Deep Water port battle United States defending against Pirates 25 US/Brits/Dutch (one dutch and I Brit I think) with screeners out side vs 20 Pirates no screeners I kinda missed the battle cause of lack of sleep, but heard there was firebombs at the start and than a bunch of captured and brawling. If some one that was in the battle want to add to the info of what happen feel free to do so. Keep battle reports to facts when you make them. They should include numbers as close as you can. Leave the smack talking to individual post though.

Sounds about how BLACK does it too. We have folks think it's a bit confusing, but we are so use to that style of a fight. Oh every one I'm having picture limit size and well this thread is so out dated so I"m starting a new one. I'll start with a post for savanaa port battle but can use the info to update the first page.

Mainly cause when out number you need the combat ships more than you need the mortar brig and if your in smaller ships they are hard to hit. I was suppose to bring one tonight to Savanna port battle but I was up all day moving stuff and fell a sleep before the port battle. That and well a lot of folks just don't have the gold hand books (I have an extra one) and know what all to set up or how to use them. bullet log? Is there a way to go back and look after a battle? I know you can control L to look at t log while in a fight. Danes have all ways held half of southern Haiti and with that being there Hull Strength region I don't think you will push them off. They going to fight for that one for sure. Remember they only have three regions So it's not like if they take a region or two it is going to hurt any one, just strength them a bit. They prob will be happy with doing a trade over of Cayes for PB's back and forth. Remember Pounce is the only source of Silver for the alliance over on that side so they will fight for that hard. It might be good if ya'll let them have a few regions that aren't important. We would of gave up San Juan eventually to them if we didn't take northern Haiti-. We just need more regions before we can give up any regions to the small nations. Hell I don't even know who the combat leader is. I only speak with a few of ya'll. Your just the most well known name of the Danes lol

I mean, as long as you have monopoly on Live Oak i figure you can expect the opposing alliance to attack. (Atleast that is what i would expect )

Any plans for more varied weather in battles?

Night-flipping is normal. Flipping a port at a time that suits your group best is normal. It is allowed within the rules. It is impractical for some, but you need to find solutions for that within your nation to cope with them, not WHINE about it here. Kierrip was whining last Saturday about the fact he wasn't able to be at ALL the battles because the times didn't all suit his personal schedule. My first response was: "Why do you need to be at ALL the battles anyway? Are you such a control-freak that you can't trust your own countrymen to do a good job of it? How arrogant can a single person be?" If your nation consists exclusively of people from one timezone, you will have a major problem that you need to face AND SOLVE! Not whine about it here. There are Russian speakers all over the World and the same goes for Spanish and French speakers. Just ask the devs (nicely and without that whining tone of the above post) for some incentives that you can take to the Steam-forums and advertise the game to your fellow language-speakers. Get MORE people onto this game so you will have less of a problem defending ports at times that are currently giving you problems.

1) If the smuggler flag is removed will you allow trade ships of any nation enter a port? If not, how do you plan to help smaller nations get resources? 2) Any plans to increase max number of outposts?

Spanish answer to USA Stupidity: Nuts! We heat the USA ports every time we feel like it.

What is the current ship roadmap?

1. I've seen recent comments since you announced the possibility of a kickstarter for ship packs that people are saying this means you are running out of money and people have fears you won't be able to complete Naval Action. Can you displace these fears? 2. How much longer do you plan to develop Naval Action/estimated release date? 3. Are you currently working on (have teaser screenshots) of any new ships?

Do you work on a new ROE model that allows reinforcements and larger battles in OW?

WHEN THE DANES ( + ALLIES) USED NIGHTFLIPS PLUS EVERY DIRTY TRICK AND EXPLOIT TO WIN IT WAS APPARENTLY FAIR! But now they loose they give up.. Piss take if you ask me! Oh I forgot that you told the entire American nation they could only play this game Durring your prime time and no others!!!! When you win every exploit is fair, when you loose. Every exploit is unfair... Ironic right!!!

The Devs put forts and towers all over the place and large patrolling AI fleets. Learn to use them to your advantage. I have only been successfully ganked once in my home waters since the ROE update and mostly because I was not paying attention.

Seen this before.

Again, there is a perfect server for you, it is called pve. We were on pvp1 9 months before you joined the game. You are the late comer here, you switch servers.

I assumed you wanted an intelligent conversation. I was wrong, you're still an idiot. We're done here.

Germane, as in relevant to my prior post. Remedios was never a pirate region, If I recall correctly. And I'm not counting the pirate battles regardless. Panpatar was taken by you guys from the Spanish during your alliance fall out along with a few other regions. Panpatar was also taken by the Dutch last weekend, but that was not fully defended and was in the EU time zone. There have been a few ok solutions to the night flip/port timers dilemma, though none of them have gotten much traction due to Nation whining back and forth on here washing over each suggestion thread. I believe timers we removed as a result of forum whining, mostly by EU players. Now, this system isn't acceptable. You notice a trend here? Personally, I didn't mind the port timers and considering now that we have alliance mechanics and nations can actually reinforce each other in the PBs and screenings of running flags, the dynamic will be vastly different and more enjoyable. It probably won't be as terrible as before, but I don't think the expected outcomes will solve any of the issues your alliance is currently having with screening and being outnumbered. It will solve the night flips, but despite the whining on here, those are a minor issue. For example, the US will stay up late and attack a Dane port. Capture port with a combined US/Dutch/Brit ZERG. Set the timer to US prime time and the Danes will have to miss their beauty sleep to retake the port. At least in this current system if that happens you have the option to retake the port when it's convenient for you. Problems not solved. But keep wishing for them.

It means we respected your "Christmas" and you didnt give a shit.... So clearly it wasnt about "Christmas" at all... So now we dont believe an/or care about any of your complaints/concerns because they ring hollow... You may be good sailors, but your diplomacy is shite.

I am currently on the Swedish nation on PvP1, I'll join in on the fun, just hit me up! US east coast here. Are you going to stop joining PBs because some other players told you not to go? I think that's utterly ridiculous and no one should tell you how to play the game you love and enjoy.
