Hethwill Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Plenty of games have this TIPS as one liners in the loading screens. Would be nice to see them in game also. Given it is just an idea we all can build into it, no ? And see where it leads. So let's do very concise one liners that can also be nice tips for newcomers and vets alike, no matter how basic they are. I will post a few examples: _____________________________________________________________________________________________ "You can hide all the chat windows, while sailing, by pressing the T key" --- "Reinforcement Zones allow to call AI support when attacked by enemies. Not when they invade your battles." --- "Reinforcement AI are support for the players. They are not replacements of the players." _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 'Trade ships can enter enemy ports' --- 'The wind will periodically change direction, in battle.' --- 'A battle stays open for 3 minutes if it is out of the reinforcement zone. Beware any player can join within this period. ' --- 'Expect sailing in a sailing game' --- Double tapping a rudder order ( A and D keys ) will hold it hard over until cancelled. --- 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 'Trade ships can enter enemy ports' 'The wind will change direction periodically in battle.' I think this is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roronoa Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I also think its a good idea, especially in NA where there is much to know. A similar post was created by Wyy: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the newbiews know what will happen in greenzone and much more. As a community we can create and collect the tooltips, DEVS can just put them on loading screens. Example: A battle stays open for 3 minutes if it is out of the reinforcement zone. Beware any player can join within this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk nChance Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @Sir Hethwill the RedDuke Before One Liner Tool Tips there needs to be a Control Base. Like a Wiki with all the Control’s and where the Tool tips drive from. Then they can be deleted or updated as and when in proper fashion. If you did just offer “Tool Tips” it will suffer massive legacy issues like “Press [CTRL] + L to see both enemy and your own bullet logs...” my tip “Press the [HOME] + Z/X (up/down) + middle mouse for increased speed” Drone View Norfolk.

Hethwill Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 This is a Guide. Whatever Devs want to do with the one liners is up to them. Carry on. All liners added in the opening post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk nChance Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 @Sir Hethwill the RedDuke I really like the idea, but you and I know the Dev’s need to keep information up to date. This needs to be thought out and have one conduit that changes all exported views otherwise it won’t be done... Norfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captiva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 To repair when in Open World, press the 'F' key or 'Fleet' icon at bottom of screen, then choose Hull, Sails, or Crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaleMemes Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) 'Adding cargo to your ship will increase its weight and slow it down significantly, so only sail with what you need.' 'Carronades are lighter than medium and long guns, so arming your ship with them can increase its speed.'

Bluetooth Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 At the start of a battle, use your telescope (Shift Key) to examine the enemy ship and see what type of guns he has. Carronades, Mediums or Longs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
