Siegfried Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 For me the best moments were to be afraid to lose in the sea (without map). And discover and mapping the whole Caribean by myself and share my discoveries with others. First with a map made by hand and then with a detailed map. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrdael Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Another one was the sight of my first bottle wreck. It was kind of sad and dreading, the poor thing with shredded sails, bobbing about in the seas...just imagining ending up like it because situational awareness fails..."shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scattered Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I love this game! Besides Eve Online, is the only one that deserves my precious free time. So take your time with the wipe as it should be done right! Been playing it for 1300 hrs and I don t regret any of them. Keep up the good work. Not my best moment! Running away from a freaking quick assembled fleet with a brand new captured Buce. I miss the Spanish guys, hope to fight them soon. Helping the British with a Port Battle. Good times, awesome fights almost every nights Edited May 17, 2017 by Scattered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Sailing around pirate homewaters in extremely thick fog and heavy chop with a large PB fleet, not knowing what was going to happen or where the enemy was at, just eagier to find any kind of fight just for the sake of it. Caught during the Sweden - Pirate war. And while I don't have any screenshots of it because of formatting the PC some time ago, the old proper line battles were incredibly cool to take part of, 25 folks sailing neck-and-neck trying close the gaps, not lose bowsprits and focus on targets - it was awesome to fight as a unit instead of as an individual ship/chaotic brawl.

Multiple ports might be ok if there was a separate battle for each with a cool down in between pbs(maybe a good way to stab at the timezone issue). I definitely like only being able to capture ports within striking distance of a national port. It goes hand in hand with no tp to/from freetown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassimoSud Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Magic moments in Naval Action .... Play with my friends in fleet, run the seas in search of a battle in enemy territory, escape the enemy when we are inferior, but above all, and I apologize for this, provoke anger to the enemy! It's just a game, they're just pixels :-) Naval Action can be the best game I have ever played, developers please finish it sooner, because for playing we need many online players (sadly there are too few now!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regions are taken by fighting in each region's port. Until all ports of the region are taken it should not be captured. Thus slows the conquest, yet allows players to have the dynamic of multiple PB's 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Seayew Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Over 800 hours, many incredible moments. From before I bought the game, watching a sea trials video, there was a storm. What really took my breath away was the beauty of the ships in the distance, riding the waves. When first playing a battle at dusk, and seeing the sails light up from the muzzles flashing, and the incredible sound design, a rolling broadside from a distance. Another great magical moment, being somewhat lost between Cuba and Jamaica in really foggy dirty weather, and seeing St. Ann rise out of the mist. We ported in at the last second before the server went down. Haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremen Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Ahhh, how to forget it, the most magical moment was that day when WIPE was finally installed on the main server. It was incredible, no one expected it to happen, it was something miraculous but when no one expected it and suddenly, there it was ... Wait .... mmmm, but it has not happened yet! .. No, there has not been any magic moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiithnaras Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Magic moments include using a Mortar Brig to demast a Bucentaure and subsequently hammer it into submission (and sinking). Also getting 24 Leaks on a Trincomalee in a single broadside using a Constitution. That boat went straight to the bottom in about 15 seconds. Possibly the most hilarious moment was our fleet returning from a port battle, and ran into a single, lone Endymion. Seeing 20+ 4th-rates swarming that poor chap was terribly amusing, even though we offered our condolences to them afterward. Also just sailing on trade runs or hunting patrols through night-time thunderstorms. They are absolutely gorgeous. (Definitely suggest making day/night cycles a little more smooth, too) Edited May 17, 2017 by Kiithnaras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Arlington Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 First time getting to close and broadside to a Santissima with my frigate as an youngster captain. We were a few guys patroling for hostiles near Jamaika and a the end we made it. But when I realized that I was broadside seconds felt like minutes and my smile turned with a "Well... F*ck..." when the Santi made his revenge. Short firework for me. But a great moment to remember. :-) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoky Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My magic moment I boarded and captured LGV almost in front of sweden capital. I entered battle in beam (is that the term) while he and all ai entered while directly looking into wind. He was like 50m behind AI fleet Everything was over before AI even managed to turn on me Other pirate left when he realized that I'm slightly crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjerg Bjergsson Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Honestly there are too many magic moments in this game for me. Part of the reason it's one of my most-played games really. Here are some that I managed to snag screenshots of. Running screen for the battle fleets on their approach to hostile ports. Navigating via map and compass across the Caribbean and still managing to meet my friend mid-ocean. Getting my first glimpse of the Dutch architecture at their capital. My first time getting a stern rake in a PvP port battle. They lined up so beautifully.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was very happy with this fight. I admit my PvP skills aren't the best but I feel I did very well in a ship that was outnumbered 3 to 1 at a couple points... This battle just reinforced my love for the USS Constitution!!! https://youtu.be/Ce3Jg0OZDt4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
