Trade in Sea Bottles


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

today I tried make spare time dedicating some hours to use the See Bottles with the hope of find unusual things inside the shipwreck.

I almost forgot i couldn't sail with my Constitution and then pass the stuff to my Indiaman Fleet. So I had to turn around to LH.

It's a simple thing but maybe is easy to make possible the trade between ships at least in the shipwreck, because if now im been attacked i will control the Indiaman and the AI will control the Constitution. So easy for the hunter.

Thank you devs for all the work by the way, it is not easy to rule all the waves.

Wouldn't be "as much" of an issue if you could pick up the loot in segments at a time.  Once you open it up it is visible to all in OW (but not on map view except you).  You can come back to pick it up, or it could be stolen, or even your clanmates could come get it for you.  Simply wipe all open bottles from the map during daily maintenance to reduce numbers of artifacts in the database.

I think that is one of the parts that make it fun...the risk and adventure. The danger in getting there and back - and the difficulty of getting the right ship there. Getting occasionally caught in a Trader and robbed makes the successful trips all the more sweet. I like the way it is....except the bottles need to be turned up from  "virtually never" to at least "hardly ever".

Most stupid mechanic ever. Pickle wreck is found with 2150 tonnes of goods onboard and you have to take all. Sick of this laziness, hope it gets fixed. 

I open one out of marsh, it popped in Deep water and said Pandora, but was 2900 so I couldn't even pick it up with a Trader Brig or LVG. I had to sail a Indianman down from US coast to pick it up and return it.  Yah hopefully they fix the wiegts, it was the trade good that put it over max like that not the other items.   They should always be under the wieght to pick up in a Trader Brig.

 

Though guys we are about to get trade in OW so maybe they will add trade in battle soon.   You kinda can do it right now if you cap a ship and not sink it put the goods/repairs you want on the ship and let some one else take them.   We do it all the time in battles when some one gets low.

We should have the ability to use all our fleets hold in OW and move cargo between them, it just logical. Then you can finally escort your own traders in a propper warship..! This would be a a serious game changer imo. 

Moving stuff between holds could have 15 sec cool down, and scuttling a fleet ship could demand you to sit still for 5 minutes before execution.
