Wind Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) How good are those Rewards that is the question, question that can quickly dictate the future of this content. Based on previous rewards from events everyone abandoned them due to a lack of rare items, paints and ships. After all it's nice to see a fresh wind blowing towards us.

Could you tell about the characteristics of your colleague? I think this information will be useful for obtaining quantitative change data in the development process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vazco Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 3 hours ago, Banished Privateer said: I call bs about this, especially that Herc is the smallest 5th rate and reinforcements can spawn Indefs/Trics or other big 5th rates that eat Herc alive. On top of that Herc has weaker 4-5 boarding mods now and less crew (no light ship hammocks + no 6-7 hammocks). Current safe zone hunter no.1 is Xebec, then I would consider Prince/Surprise or any speedy 5th rate. Herc is still vid, but not as great as it used to be. Call whatever you want. I mean it's easiest to use a throw-away ship. For me it's easier to kill a 4+ rate in a reinforcement zone on Herc simply by sinking it than on Xebec. I find Hercs deadly effective in zones, as you can simply outmaneuver reinforcements and any players that jump in afterwards. You can use any ship you want, as long as you like it. Your choice. Still, the current state is bad for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vazco Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 32 minutes ago, Banished Privateer said: Any ship can be throw-away, you still gotta pay for guns and some mods. Do you use Hercs to tag people in the safe zone? What's your experience with fighting reinforcements? I'm asking out of curiosity because I fought tiers 3-4-5-6 with new changes and they have high HP, high penetration and high damage. Only player errors make it easy to kill them, for example when they run away from reinforcements etc. If you tag players on Xebec or Prince, you will get only some 6th rate reinforcement, the main difference between Herc. I'm not saying it's bad, as I know it's good, but I wouldn't place it in the top 3 in effectiveness. @Vile Executioner and @GreasyMnky use Hercs a lot, maybe they can share their opinions. I was tagging people in a safe zone recently, to check how it works - something I'm not proud of Guys with low ranks got a recompensation from me when a fight was not fair. A Surprise or Cerberus that spawns is completely useless. At least on Herc you can angle all shots even when enemy fights close to reinforcements. In my opinion Herc is completely OP. I sank a Consti with reinforcements right under my nose. You just shield yourself from bots with use of your enemy, or angle. I didn't even bother to chain reinforcements. Some other time I managed to defeat a Consti, Inger and BellePoule almost without a scratch (no reinforcements). It's crazy how easy it is. Boarding in Xebec may also work, however I understand that with larger opponents you must first decrew and then wait for their mistake to board. It also turns slower. With Herc you simply sink them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experienced players will laugh at the spawned ship ! Speed moded agressive and strong AI ships should be spawning, best of it is tier or 1 tier higher with high speed. Btw Hercules is OP and dangerous for big ships, no big ship can shake a good Hercules from it's tail, and those 32pdr carros will kill 100-200 crew with 1 pass on enemy stern. It is small target when angeled so forgives some mistakes. Edited July 19, 2018 by AeRoTR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this as well. Not much of a difference, usually you can outmaneuver AI and player. With good players of course there would be a difference (eg. probably Albatros in Pirates).

Same goes for Xebecs and all other ships. Do agree with you. First time I used reinforcements, few months ago, I was in a Pavel and got tagged by two well know Swedish guys in Pavels. The reinforcements came as two Pavels, and I was able to use them as shield. Got tagged by an Hercules Pirate later, a guy who I actually knew, got a Brig. The AI kept him entertained while we did chat about old times. Got tagged by Trinc plus Endy, got Belle Poule plus Cerberus. Got tagged by a Xebec, didn't even bother to call reinforcements, broke the guy's bow and boarded him right away. An experience captain will work around the situation, but for new players it will be certain death as the current AI is weak. Reinforcements should be at the same lvl as the attacker and decent AI, I dont think they should be over the top, just decent.

No one is saying that nation has to take the ports, plus’s it’s more clan base now than nation. And if those are the only ports that nation owns? Well shouldn’t have picked a hard mode nation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) We all know it reinforcements only work if you know how to use them correctly, If you know what you are doing you will stay close and always bring the reinforcement ship into play. Most people though will try and run and the reinforcement ship will be stuck upwind miles away from the action Edited July 20, 2018 by Fletch67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
