Dear Haratik, Sorry brother if my thread annoys you, I just had some ideas I thought would balance the Pirate faction, server player base and still make it fun to be a Pirate. Regards, Captain Saintjacktar Australian Flotilla Tattered Flags United States

Dear Mr BeeRanch, Thank you for your very constuctive comment,if only it had any relevance to my original post perhaps maybe create your own topic? Kind regards Captain saintjacktar Australian Flottilla Tattered Flags United States

Dear Mr. Vicious, This is probably the most constructive thing ive seen you say so far <3 this is far more pleasant than me having to use my brain for whitty retorts. I look forward to more of this input and less of our usual bickering. Additionally I concur with the balancing issue it would be interesting to see how that would play out Kind regards Captain saintjacktar Australian Flotilla Tattered Flags United States

Dear Mr. Vicous Are you serious?, I suggested this and you made some proposterous arguement about how Pirates would some how be able to acquire 1st rates more so than the US hahaha I mean Im glad you changed sides on this issue, but jeez you were so adamant it was kinda heart warming. Oh well welcome to the club hopefully the devs listen to your somewhat reasonable recommendation. Kind regards, Captain Saintjacktar Australian Flotilla Tattered Flags United States

Dear Developers, Firstly I like to say you have created a beautiful and truely unique game that i am thouroughly enjoying! (im addicted ;P). However It is my opinion that there Is a shortfall within the Pirate "Nation". It is my belief that the Pirate faction needs a re work, for this I have few ideas: 1. Limit the number of beginning Pirate ports, historically Pirates only truely sailed from a very select few ports with in the carribean. 2. Created a reputational based rank system in which Pirates have to sink or capture other ships to build there reputation as a fearsome pirate or raid ports (more XP and gold for PVP compared to PVE) 3. Create a "pirate hunting bounty system" in National Ports to promote Privateering, bounties should reputational based (I beleive this already happens in forums) and upon collecting a bounty it would give you an aproximate location and heading (e.g - Pirate Captain X wanted reward £100,000 last seen near Nassau heading NW) this would create an extra bit of added excitment and danger in the conduct of Pirate activities. 4. Allow raiding rather than capturing of ports, Pirates should be able to buy a flag for a Port ,similar to the current mechanic. But rather then announce it to the server through a server message, have it not annouced at all. The flag would serve merely as a means to raid a port. Once a Ports defences have been destroyed and the Port infiltrated Pirates would have full access to all resources within the Port with exception of player ships. (Just because they are much harder to procure then resources) 5. Captured ship conversion, in history a lot of Pirate ships were traditionally captured and repurposed merchant vessels and small warships. I believe the game should facilitate this as well it would add a level of personal customization unique to the Pirate faction. But still have the ability to build the available ships 6. Have Pirate Faction specific upgrades, Pirates were a unique society of people who had cut ties with the tradtional bonds of society to seek a criminal life among the seas. These people came from all walks of life and brought with them thier own attributes and personalities to which ever ship they called home.I think it would be awesome if Pirates had unique upgrades available within the Pirate faction similar to the new "charasmatic boatswain" e.g - you could have "Ruthless Buccaneer" which provide a morale and melee boost in boarding scenarios. 7.Have Player created Pirate "Jacks", traditionally Pirates created their own Jacks that were synonymous with Piratical acts and reputation. I think it would be awesome if Pirates were able to create thier own Jacks synonymous to thier actions within the OW. I am aware there would be a certain few who would abuse this to have volgar and demeaning things as thier Jacks but this could be easily policed with a reporting system. You could also limit it by having a standardized black background or a standardized set of objects that could be mixed and matched for customization. 8. Allow for Pirate Privateering, traditionally Pirates were hired by nations (British especially ) to commerce raid and hunt particular warships of a certain nation. Nations could place "Privateering Contracts" into a server wide database of a specific ship or a certain number of merchant vessels in which when in a Pirate Port Pirates would be able to see contract lists and choose contracts as they please. Once completed The Pirate would return to port and collect thier reward. Additionally Pirates would be able to fly the flag of the contractor nation and then once in combat would "hoist the black" thus spreading thier reputation.

I agree I love Pagan Pete's style of play,a true pirate he is! I both fear and respect him when I see him in OW. He is proof that you do not need to "game the game" and have a massive fleet to do well * tips cap* fair winds and following seas Pirate Pagan Pete

YOU CAPTURED UNDEFENDED PORTS AND ATTACKED A WEAKER NATION !! THIS PROVES NOTHING !!!!

Nothing will be on our heads, The nation wants you sunk as does the whole server! XD You are only offering terms because 1. you know this patch means that you'll have to fight on even terms, 2. because you've stretched your forces too thin with too many ports to hold and 3. you are also getting attacked from a sizeable nation in the South. You will be attacked on multiple fronts and in multiple locations and that frightens you. Lets be honest you will only be able to hold the Deep water ports where Santissima's can be used, eventually you will fall! it may not be this week or this month but you will eventually be purged from our lands.

Bahahaha!!! Sounds like someones affraid of what the new patch will bring!?... an even playing field! XD We will never surrender to the likes of you! U-S-A! U-S-A!! U-S-A!!
