I am playing a bit just for the naval battles, still a bit of fun. If I had to give any feedback though, it would be to allow a faction change where you lose everything except exp ;).

You're right. But all my friends are playing the Dutch now, and Naval Action to me has always been a group game. Grinding solo for the sake of grinding doesn't appeal to me much.

Thanks, so I should wait for the release of the game before I start again eh?

Yea I'll be honest in that I don't feel like paying another $25 to get access to a country change for a game I supported at launch. I just wanted to keep the exp rank so that I just had to farm the currency. Guess the hours I got out of the game is all I'm going to get. Thanks for the replies.

I haven't played since 2016. I dumped several hundred hours into the game and got to Devil before leaving the game. I want to play the Dutch with my friend. Is that impossible without paying $23 CAD for https://store.steampowered.com/app/785910/Naval_Action__Prolific_Forger/ this? All I care about is my rank? If I delete my character do I lose my rank? People say there are redeemables but I have none. So am I just stuck pirate? It's giving me anxiety thinking all 473 hours I put into the game are now wiped.

Why not auto-declare war when 'tensions' get high enough. Have tensions increase by PvP. People can raid, attack ai, attack people of other nations, so on and so forth. And once it happens enough then a 'war' will be created.

As Tiger said. It won't matter because unless someone chooses to put all their crew on guns and none on sail then they are simply going to have as many guns as a trinc.

Yea, player numbers is not information that is going to be used well by the community.

You would still end up in Florida which is an entire problem by itself.

He means that xp/crafting xp is safe. gold/items/ships probably won't be wiped until release or a major design flaw. Map is subject to change. Also this is why some of us have been focusing on pvp over port battles. It was clear there would be whipes. Though it's good people are still wanting to take ports as that is what helps test the game.

Because the current system is very clearly 100% broken. The longer we keep the current map going the more people are going to get attached to it and the less likely people will want to reset it. The whole point of the testing phase is to throw stuff at the wall until it sticks.

Can we just reset the map?

My only suggestion which I know has been said many times before but I want it to be given good thought. Each faction starts with 3 ports each that are uncapturable. Every other port is either a Free Town or Neutral.

Why not?

Forget the British flipping ports. USA offered flippings ports twice. Once before we got into Florida and a Second time before we set up in Key west. I am led to believe the Spanish leadership has absolutely no idea what they are doing. I am not even sure who the leadership of RAE even is? I thought it was Alex-SD due to his previous comments of making it seem like Spain had some grand plans. However now that they are fighting the British http://www.escuadron69.net/v20/foro/uploads/gallery/album_181/gallery_7411_181_98767.jpg(Quite effectivly at that) I am not too sure what that plan is. Also he hasn't made a comment on here for several days.
