I really like this one:) Small and simple but the little details make a smoother experience for every type of captain:)

It is pointless to compare clans and their campaigns. All these comparisons have one thing in common, they took place in different era's within naval action. Having completely different RVR and PVP atmospheres back then compared to eachother. Each remarkable clan had its own successes and i applaud them for that. On behalf of DAS i can only say, those peak moments are more than 1,5 years ago, possibly even longer. With the old saturday trafalgars. I think the last trafalgar we had was a display of tactics and skill back then in a ( i repeat) different combat system than we know now. Being outnumbered gun wise and skill wise, because SLRN back then was a proper force. We only had one choice, go straight at em! give them no time to organize and coordinate. We formed 2 lines at the very last second and had them pinned down between our lines the entire match. Eventhough we where outgunned from the start, and i can honestly say outskilled, they where better. We won based on tactics and having fun. That mattered back then, just having fun. We cant compare it anymore to port battles nowadays or conquest systems we had the last 1,5 years. In the 3-4 years of being here i have seen really good players and i think it is a shame most of you never sailed under the command of Steelsandwich. DAS is no longer active, we are still there but not active. I am confident we will rise again, but sadly we can never re-create such atmpshere we had with SLRN and RUS and VIE, yes i mention VIE, they seem to be forgotten and they certainly rocked aswell back in the day. I applaud Sorry's accomplishments aswell BLACK's , and i cant say who is better or worse, in the end every battle has different circumstances and i think the only fair way to claim who is baddest and best, is go back in time and have that trafalgar system again. But hey! maybe we will see in Naval action legends:) @TommyShelby , i only led a few PB's , most of the time i only led in 2nd place after steel in trafalgars, but not just me, we did it together we where a tight gang of guys. Shoutouts to : RUBLI, HRE, EDR. TF, TDA and puchu

Balls with alot of energy , depending on the internal structure and rng, might go entirely from bow to stern. Same as when you rake ships, those balls can go all the way to the bow. But then there is no rudder indicator so you wont notice it.

Conquest marks will arrive after maintenance. If you have gotten a letter its all good:). Weird people got kicked of the pb itsef though, did they report it?

Freetows are fine as is. Freetowns where meant for trading and that is somewhat back now. It shouldnt become a staging port again , no matter the restrictions, it just only plays the cards of capital raiders and gankers.

No, freeports before the wipe only served as a staging base for ganking. There is no equal pvp in the open world, if there is, its rare. Sure as hell not gonna stimulate more ganking.

I dont think any deal is needed imho. War was declard and the Brits raised hostility since thursday. Plenty of headsupp there would be something going down this weekend. Whether it is today or tomorrow doesnt really matter. Plenty of advance warning could have been deducted from the hostility being raised. It just seems to me that this doesnt fit the agenda of the spanish. Its not like they managed to get the port battle in a whole differnt timezone. Its just one day too soon basically. But hostility was spread amongst 2 days, so logicall sense tells me something was going to happen regardless on which day this weekend.

This thread turned into a he said , she said situation. Since it is a support thread i think thats not the idea behind it. I think staff should lock it, And when there is more info it will be unlocked again. This discussion serves no purpose.

Or there is a possibility for a new item: Crafting contract ( idk) Cost: 1000 labour hour Crafting xp when its redeemed by another player: 500xp Level cap: Usable till you reach crafting level 30 or 35( you can craft alot of frigates then with that level) Craftable item if you reach level 50 to help out others. Just spitballing here:)

in my opinion the navigation as is ingame is all we need. We can navigate by experience. We can navigate based on the distance sorted using the trader tool. It will tell you what the closest cities are and should give you a fairly good idea where you are located. When going in straight lines from A to B and there is no reason to change course mid-trips, the protractor is really nice. I like it that you need some kind of skill/ experience. Combine all of the above and it should be really easy already.

Conquest marks for port battles should be tslen out. Everything that is currently in the admirality and needs conquest marks should be replaced with pvp marks. The reasoning why is simple. Traders and crafters just dont hsve access to these blueprints and permits since their pleasure in this game is the economic aspect. Pvp marks for evrrything makes it just more accessable for every player. Even the players with just 2 hour per day to play. Port battles and the entire lord system is awesome i love it, but what we see now is that nations are not only unbalanced by player number (which is fine imho) but unbalanced in the way they have access to certain ships. I like the system i really do but it needs finetuning.

And what would this change exactly? According to your suggestions it would put the smaller nations atleast 500.000 back compared to spanish captains. What is this good for?

Hey Tac, let me introduce you to Tac.

You say you never visted the forums and had no chance to know that wipe is coming. if you did not have any chance to know that you need to sync xp, how did you know about the wipe then and knew you had to come back today?

the 3rd rule is : Alliances are meant to be broken:)

Who are we kidding, we all know each pact or alliance will atleast get broken or shattered atleast once a week. pssst rogue clans, backstabbing allies its gonna be so entertaining, its true.

RICE ?

How about a combination: Raids are the basics , being used to cause rebellion in enemy national ports. When a port has been raided X amount of times succesfully it will cause so much unrest against the national owners of that port , so it will have a new state similair to "contested."When that state is reached, you can take control over that port by the flag mechanic i.e distance control if conquered suffescully in the pb and that all without the 46 hour cooldown.

Steesandwich already hinted towards it, but this is pure and pure addictive magic: Outgunned and outskilled, we charged in and gave them no time to organise, some real Nelson manouvres there. And this every freaking Saturday. Where has the time gone. This makes your blood pump faster, being chased at, being the one doing the chasing, watching your health, taking one for the team and on the background Nornica being funny and drunk at the same time hahah <3. Oh yeah and FOG , fog was awesome, it was nerfed to hell, but oh buy when it got introduced on the OW, it was so thick that sometimes ships appeared out of nowhere. Devs i beg you, re- introduce it, the same old thick fog but not every night cycle like back then, make it an epic natural thing. So many magicall moments:)

Looking forward to the moment the patch hits the live server. Better take your time and make it a stable patch

Some really nice ships in there. I would throw my money at Gamelabs for some nice Dutch ships though, but this set of ships is really looking good.

btw, is there a possibility for the remaining month to have some wacky patch? i'd like to see the community do weird fun stuff instead of fighting and being toxic. 1v1 battle instance, or 3v3 instances only. Perhaps for the newer players that never had the chance, a redeemable santi:D

My beloved Cerberus Blueprint, nooo !!! After years of research and hard craftsmanship i finally managed to get the know how of making the Cerberus. This world is so cruel !! Awesome:) A fresh start is best, since the inflationlevels are huge and money lost its value which is quite hard for newer players to compete in this game. Looking forward to the wipe and changes, keep it up!

Entirely fine by me haha, but dont be suprised if your ship never arrives haha. Perhaps for PVE server.
