[Remove invisibility for group mates.]

why not also do just everyone from the same nation?

Voted yes as it is a nice feature

[PSA: Patch Bug With Controls]

Well iza was pretty much the first person to discover it haha

haha yeah that XD but not the ressetting part:) But i guess since admins are announcing it ingame, its well known now

[PSA: Patch Bug With Controls]

hey you got that from me:D haha  

[guns for new ships]

you are mistunderstanding one thing helene, they are not being punished they are learning. If you want to become better at the game, you simply have to fail and learn from it. Be anctious why did something go wrong and work on it.

[Crafting Recipes (Excl. Ships) - Modules Recipes + Stats]

Tommy i dont have to say this, but you are awesome and a great contribution to the development to this game. Ty for yet another great piece of information:)

[guns for new ships]

You get a warning when you leave port without cannons + it is a simple mistake they will make one time at the most. i'd say its fine .

[Three suggestions and comments.]

I would only go with a small sails repair.So not an entire mast but perhaps only the bow mast. Simply because it is not always your fault you loose it. And especially for a new player that has not that much gold and experience in sailing, it is less forgiving. 

[Dutch food - an outside view]

There is a common misunderstanding between Dutch pancakes and the American pancakes ( for as far i know we call them American pancakes)

The Dutch ones are much flatter and larger. Lets compare them:

      VS        

Both look delicious, but i grew up with the Dutch ones so i will go with them:) Did you know, you can actually eat them cold aswell. Not many do it, but it is certainly not bad or anything.

Have you while beind in the Netherlands, ever come across or tried  ''Poffertjes''. they are awesome:)

 

another great similair dish. Lovely for the little kids, or Captain Bubbles:)

Now i got hungry so see ya later:)

Ty for the kind words about our little country:)

[Captains orders received.]

Cant make it as usual haha, but have fun to all of you out there, And that the Dutch may win:) 

[The most glorious faction a.k.a. the Dutch Antilles Squadron]

Glorious indeed:)

[New men per Rank !?]

this will have hardly any effect, as the changes you suggest will be migitated by ''extra hammocks & marines compliments''

So since your suggestion does little to nothing, i dont see a reason to change it.

[Why Caribbean not Europe?]

Because the temperature in the Caribbean is better for the sailors, you dont want them to freeze to death ? do'nt ya:)

I think it a matter of time and more population before new world regions open up, it is inevitable if this game become a succes.

[Cannot get the OW version of NA]

Can you please opt-out from all Product Beta branches (not Steam Beta, but Naval Action Beta) (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=182912431), restart Steam, uninstall game (even if you'll see that it's updating), restart Steam and install game again (check that game name is Naval Action without any [branch] specification)

Have that > done and done. 

No succes. Which is so freaking strange haha.

[Cannot get the OW version of NA]

I have played alot of OW lately and i like it, but the weather here is sooo hot today i chose to play on my laptop downstairs. The laptop previously had Sea Trials installed on it. So i clicked play and it send me to the Sea Trials version but of course i was not able to login

So i added the keys i got when i unlocked OW with getting the santi, and now it says the keys are incorrect.

 

So i uninstalled everything and i downloaded everything again, and still it gives me the Sea Trials build. Tried the Key again for unlocking beta material, but still incorrect.

 

Now my question is, how can i get the OW version of NA. The keys do not work and it does not download the OW build when i start clean.

[So I won the tea competition?]

No you have not won the tea competition, because by the time you can actually trade it , all is rotten and worthless.

[Suggestion regarding repair mechanics]

With patch #3 every ship has more hitpoints/ battles last longer and are way more fun nowadays.

 

I suggest the following:

 

- Seperate the repairs for rudder/pump/magazin

OR

- Increase that combined amount to 2 instead of 1.

 

I have exceptional: reinforced rudder, and yet every decent battle, my rudder gets taken out, and 1 repair does far from nothing. anyway, this is my opinion, and it is now up for dicussion, yay!!

 

regards,

[Petition to rename this game to All vs British]

a lynx player,  is able to see the BR information before joining a battle. Therefore, any large battle going on infront of the British Captital can be avoided if you check those BR.If you decide to go in anyway, then sure as hell, it cannot be ganking and not the fault of the players that started the battle against fleet AI, regardless of nation.

 

Blockading the port can be frustrating, but escpecially in a lynx you should have a decent chance to get out of the area when all other big boys are fighting your AI fleets. If you go in anyway, then if you do get shot , i dont think they have the right to complain about being ganked. 

Also some have stated, and that when they get pulled into a battle, they most likely will not be the most valuable targets. Once again a good chance to get out of the battle.

 

Blocking a port was meaningless and it was downright bullying. But since the introduction of protective AI fleets near capitals, ''Blocking'' was given a meaning, and it is rewarded with gold and xp.

Offcourse newer players will be scared to go out, but the veterans could come back and protect the capital. Take them to another safe location because someone already explained that opening a new outpost does not need alot of gold.

 

You cannot regulate the behaviour of the players, but the developpers can regulate the behaviour of the protective AI fleets. And that is the most important point of discussion i think in this topic.

[Ship Crew Sizes & OW Ranks]

See my post that got quoted. I think everything is in there.

Brig is 200

Firgate is 400

yacht unknown

[Ship Crew Sizes & OW Ranks]

UPDATE: 

 

Santisima = 1100 BR not 1000.

[Blockade!]

nice:)

And about farming the fleet , you are correct but i think it is more interesting for anyone including new players that the fleet will sail around your capital instead of sitting still.

Sail around your capital to patrol that area and make it more safe.

[Planking quick question.]

Since the battles now last longer ( compared with pre-patch 3) I think an extra repair for everything wouldnt be such a bad thing.

I like it. I dont like the gunloss. It is too much over the course of a battle.Realism is okay, but if loose almost 20 cannons on 1 side on my bellona, it is just painfull to watch and sail. I think a max of 25% of cannonloss per side is acceptable and still realistic.

[Can I refuse assistance?]

If its optional, i support this topic:)

[Ship insurance -so that people fight]

So maybe, when you fight PVP, you will get double the gold. To still stimulate pvp and such. Offcourse an insurance sounds nice, but does it stimulate pvp'ing?

[Ship insurance -so that people fight]

First lets see, How things will go when it goes open for the rest of the pre-order players. Then you will have a much more representative view on the whole pve/pvp thing.

[cannon smoke]

Eventually you will get used to the smoke, and the smoke as it is now, is what makes the battles more dynamic. The smoke is only there for a few seconds ( if you are moving anyway).
