Hi all, new here. Saw the updated campaign stuff and got hyped to buy into this game. However when I went to the steam page there was no option to buy in. I went to check the website here and found the preorder link but that was 404. How do I pay for access to the game? Thank you. NVM figured it out. For some reason it didn't show on my computer but did show on my phone.

Hello, transplant from the Dreadnought forum here. What will this game be like? Reading about it reminds me of the Akella/1C games about pirates. They were sort of open-ended RPGs like Mount & Blade, but set in the 17th century Caribbean. You could sail around and trade, be a pirate, fight for a nation, etc.

I've noticed when a ship takes some damage when it's the lead in a battle line it will switch to following and control goes to the one behind it, how do I prevent this, also placing turrets is mirrored, is there a mirror for removing them as well?

This always confused me in naval designs. So, a raised platform on which a gun can be used to make superfiring above another is called a barbette, yes? Then there is also the actual..."shaft" into the deck per say on which the turret gunhouse is planted. That's also a barbette, correct, but a different type? Then there are old-school, open barbette mounts for guns that we don't see in game because that was 1880s and earlier, right? The whole multiple usages of the word always confused me, so I would like to hear from some of the fine people with more naval knowledge. For example, in the components part of the designer, does the "Barbette" part offering armor and whatnot apply to the raised structures for superfiring, or the sunken shafts into the deck?

will this game be free after it be released?

Server: Peace Ingame-name: NoShipSails4ever (mine, not of the bug report sender) Report: NAB-103542 Question: his question was mentioned in the report as he said, but for response reasons i will repeat it here with some additions It's regarding a bug report of a mate that didn't create a forum account so far. so i write for him here. it is related to a port raid that will happen after tomorrows maintenance (Tuspan). Back in this announcement it was written that only 2 poor / under-developed ports get raided per day. the port in question has 15 of 40 points used, so it's not really underdeveloped. https://forum.game-labs.net/topic/35149-seasonal-update-welcome-to-the-caribbean-part-2/ Question: Can you explain in more detail what makes a port count as poor and underdeveloped if 15 point investments seem to count as such? Is this a fixed way how it is counted or something relative like percentages depdning on maximum port point amount (or something else)? so far we thought that the raiders attack underdeveloped ports like 0 port point investments and if none of these are available going up to 1 point investments and such. do different investments have different value? port defense take one port point but don't seem to count as investment, as we had ports with full defense but still they got raided in the past have port bonuses or resources higher value in relation to their used port points?

I'm not trying to tell Devs what to do with this poll, but rather i want to see what the community thinks. What do you think about adding Multiplayer? For me personally, i would like multiplayer to be implemented because the option to play against someone else on the same terms is just too great compared to AI, especially with game like this, where you can apply your own naval doctrine and design your own ships.

Just 2 simple questions. What do you want the ship designer to be like in the future? (For example, how restrictive do you want part placement to be) And do you feel like the designer will be updated anytime in the near future? For me personally I would want complete freedom for where stuff can be placed on a hull. I could see some players who play this game for more of its realism not being a fan of that so maybe make a setting that controls how much restrictive it is on placing stuff. Sorry for any poor grammar or spelling.

Hi. I have a question about the mechanics of capturing ships that I don't know if it can be done. If I win a boarding, now I only know how to change the main ship, the one I drive, but I want to change another smaller boat that is handled by the fleet AI. For example, my main ship is a Belle Poule and my IA fleet handles a Cerberus, if I win the boarding to a Surprise I want to change the Cerberus AI. Suppose I have the complete fleet and I cannot add another, as is the case, I have to change one. Is this possible to do? How? Thanks. Greetings.

Have the devs said how realistic game is going to be? I've seen posts talking about adding more realistic stuff and others saying the opposite.

So i got the game yesterday after watching a youtube video, and ive been enjoying it thoroughly so far just playing with different parts trying to get trough the academy challenges, however, when i looked at some earlier (concept?)art of this game while browsing info i saw ships with different colors of paint, will this be eventually added into the game, or will we even be able to give our ships a different coat of camouflage (like the dazzle patterns some ships had in WW1) ? Great baseline you already have made for this game, loving the designer, keep up the good work.

Hello Everyone. I wanted to tell/ask something. The time frame of ships in-game/that are possible to be in game are ships that are build in 1690-1820. This means we will get lots of 18th century ships , gotta love them. Dont get me wrong , i love 18th century ships , they look awesome , the sailing is amazing. They all have something great. Gotta love those ships. But what i was wondering: Why not make the time frame a little...wider? With this "wider" effect i mean: 17th century ships. Reason: I personally love the 18th century ships , they are awesome in all kinds of ways. They are natural beauties. All kinds of 18th century ship-rates have their own benefit. Its great. But.. as some other people have explained in other Topics , lots of 18th century ships look the same. With this i dont mean the collour , but the design. Example: We got the L'Ocean , beautiful ship , i sailed with it and fought with it , its amazing. Its such a lovely ship. Then theres the Santisima Trinidad , same thing , i love the look of it , its great in battle , lots of cannons , amazing. But here's were my point joins in: the design of both ships is pretty simillair. Again , dont think i dont like the 18th century designs , i think they are amazing. But because they look so simillair and we have lots of those kinds of ships , i would love to see some other kids of designs. This is one of the reasons why i love the 5th rate ship of the line: La Renommee. It has kind of the same design , but the back is way different. And i think its gorgeous. Same thing with The Ingermanland , i love the ship even more because its a different kind of design. Especially in the back. Ofcourse , how a ship looks is not the only thing that matters , how their abilities proof in battle and in sailing is a very import example too. Ofcourse , 18th century ships were more developed , but 17th century ships are good in sailing. Looking at the fact of how a ship reacts on the sea , doesnt really matter in this case. But i would love to see 17th century ships in-game. I will take some examples to show you. Le Soleil Royal (1670) I choose the photo of the back , because the back is were it matters about most in this Topic. Just look at this ship. Its beautiful and very different from the ships we have in game right now. And for those who want a back story , its their too. Back Story: She was build in Brest between 1668 and 1670 by engineer Laurent Hubac. She was launched in 1669 and stayed in Brest harbour for years.She was recommissioned with 112 guns and 1200 men when the Nine years war broke out in 1688 as the flagship of the escadre du Ponant (squadron of the West). She was said to be a good sailing ship and her decorations were amongst the most beautiful and elaborate of all baroque flagships. The emblem of the "sun" had been chosen by Louis XIV as his personal symbol. One more example: Seven Provinces (Zeven Provinciën) 1665-1694 I got the same reason for the photo from the back: Matters the most in this Topic. Just look at her.. she is beautiful. The Seven provinces is my personal favorite ship. She looks stunning , has lots of cannons , and sails like she rules over the seven seas. But thats not all.. she has one hell of a back story too. Back Story: The Seven Provinces was a line ship of 'de Admiraliteit van de Maze' with 80 cannons on board , the name was also writen as: '7 provinciën'. The ship had a lenght of 163 foot and was 43 foot wide , and had a cavity of 16,5 foot. The men were with more then 420. The ship was build in 1664-1665 on admiral site at the 'HaringVliet' of Rotterdam. The builder of the ship was: Salomon Jansz van den Tempel. It began her carreer as flagship of viceadmiraal Aert Jansse Van Ness. After that it became the flag ship of luitenant-admiraal Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter (1666-1674). She fought at 'de Vierdaagse zeeslag' at North Foreland (1666). She also fought at the 'Tweedagse zeeslag' (1666) , and at 'Toch van Chatham' (1667). And in the seccond English war. The ship also fought at 'Slag bij Solebay' (1672) , the 'dubbele slag bij Schooneveld' and at the 'Slag bij Kijkduin' (1673). In 1674 it went on expidition under controll of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter. After the death [ kiling of the Prince of orange] of Admiral michiel de ruyter it became the flag ship of Schout-Bij-Nacht Jan Van Brakel in 1678. In 1691 Johan snellen got the ship under controll. He died the same year on board. It also participated in the English/Dutch fleet in 1691 under the command of Edward Russel. In 1692 it got shot by the french and it caused a leak in the battle of Barfleur en La Hougue , the ship sailed back to port. After that it got sold in 1694. This is the reason i call her... unsikable , because she has never bin sunk . So why not 'wide' the time frame out to the 17th century?

So I recently read an admittedly quite irate review on the steam store page in which the player said that in order to get first rate ships you are required to play PvP as it requires a currency you get in PVP. Is this the case? I was under the impression that you could get a first rate in PVE either by gold purchasing it or by crafting with converted PVE currency?

I would like someone to tell me how you have created these gorgeous 3d models.

Hello everyone I´m new in this forum and I have a question about the requirements for download Naval Action. I have a Windows 7 with a 32 bits of OS, could i play this game? I readed in Steam that it requires a 64 bits of OS, but, also it said that 32bit OS versions are possible but not supported. What does this mean? Can I play then or not? I appreciate your assistance.

Is there a way to lock in the speed of free cam movement (the one activated by the "Home" button)? When I go into that mode, the camera movement speed (WASD) is slowest by default, which requires vigorous mouse wheel spinning. Any way to default this to the fastest movement?

Hi, I bought the in the morning ca. 10 am, 23. Jan. And stated playing the same day, on two different servers. The funny thing is some of my friends whom bought the game that day got two redeemable ships, and i did not. I was just wondering if the redeemables just were for some random people, or what. I'am just asking out of curiosity, because it would really be nice have those redeemables, like my other friends. Btw. I just love this game Kind regards.
