You said you "Blew up" the first ship you were shooting at. Do you mean you hit their magazine and they exploded? Because if you're close enough to a ship that explodes the explosion can kill your crew all in one go. It happened to me yesterday. I wasn't even right on top of the ship that exploded because my ship itself didn't take a ton of damage but the crew was completely decimated.

FRANCE: The Auld Alliance
GreatScott replied to Grim DeGrim's topic in Guilds, Clans and Trading companies
Exactly, I sorta felt obligated to join once I read the background on the Auld Alliance. My Great Grandmother was from Edinburgh I got a bit of Scottish Blood in me. -
Gunboat Philadelphia
GreatScott replied to SYN_Bloody-Bandy's topic in Unrated and other light combat vessels
I don't know, apparently it actually sailed like this. 53ft Long, 15ft Beam according to Wiki; 9 pounder on the side and 12 pounder on the front. According to the Smithsonian it had a crew of 44...I would just like to know how they all fit on it. -
FRANCE: The Auld Alliance
GreatScott replied to Grim DeGrim's topic in Guilds, Clans and Trading companies
Are you guys still active in Sea Trials? I was thinking about starting up a guild similar to this, specifically American's playing French (name it after Lafayette) but I feel like The Auld Alliance would be a good fit for me. I'll apply to the website when I get a chance and have another friend I could try to bring along as well. -
Gunboat Philadelphia
GreatScott replied to SYN_Bloody-Bandy's topic in Unrated and other light combat vessels
Very cool. My wife went to SUNY Plattsburgh and I've spent some time up on that lake. I need to look more into the battle(s) that occurred there. This could be the "noob ship"? -
Locking threads too soon
GreatScott replied to Prater's topic in Forum and website problems and improvements
Yea, I'm gonna have to go ahead and lock this thread... -
Raking broadside
GreatScott replied to Hugh Latham's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
This has been brought up in other threads and I believe that there was a response from NA employee about this being added at some point. I think it only makes sense to have this, otherwise a lot of the advantage of making a maneuver like this is lost to shots that go wide or hit sides. -

I ran across this on steam today and saw it was on sale - 15 % off http://store.steampowered.com/app/244160/ Never played it, it looks like it's a single player which is probably why.

Long Range versus Close Range encounters
GreatScott replied to Barubary's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
It already seems like just about every battle I've been in turns into a close range slug fest. If we make long range inaccurate does it give people even more reason to go in close range? Will there ever be a point in shooting from a long distance? Accurate long range guns - Historical? probably not so much. Good for the game? To be determined... -
Welcome, glad you like it.

I mean they're going to stop selling the keys tonight.. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3910-pre-orders-stopping-tonight/#entry77185 If you've already bought it you may receive it after tonight but new players won't be able to buy until they reopen the alpha or start selling early access on Steam, as I understand it.

Better tell them to buy it quick. They're going to stop selling it tonight.

Dialects of English - Why do Brits insult the American dialect?
GreatScott replied to Sir John Franklin's topic in Tavern
This is pretty hilarious. As an American, I just take it all as jokes. I've never had anyone say something like what the OP is talking about in any way other then a joke. Maybe they talk behind our backs but whatever. I also learned today that there are three countries that use the Imperial system of measurement. I sorta find that funny because a lot of people like to use the joke about two types of countries, those that use the metric system and those that have put a man on the moon. -

GreatScott replied to Megiddo's topic in Tavern
I hope some day I'm rich enough to write the check they'll need to recreate a SOL. -
And in regards to logging off in the open world, I think something like Eve's current system. If you're in station (port) you can log off instantly, if you're out at sea you can stop moving, turn off all modules (may not apply) and begin a "safe logoff timer". After 30 seconds your ship is removed from the map. If you log off or disconnect out at sea your ship sits there as a sitting duck for 30 seconds (or maybe more) before it disappears and if you're caught into a battle during that time, well, tough...luck.
