Well done, organisers and prize winners!
-
It should be noted, also, that our engaging in trade around the British possessions of Jamaica & al. can be quite successful even, or yet more so, without excessive use of violence. Only a few days ago, Capitain v. Martius and I took into our custody a British snow filled to the brim with tobacco, which was rightly deemed a fair prize by the government's delegates on Cow Island; and that is far from the first valuable acquisition we've made.

We will not begrudge him his credit for bringing some lovely carronades to the battle, though he took more than his share of it in the write up.

Not sure if this has come up already but here goes
Devs please add a records log to the clan whorehouse, currently you cant see what people take out or put in. This is something every clan officer and leader I have ever spoken with wants. An ability to add or remove whorehouse access to individual players in the clan would also be nice, but i could live with just a log.
It would be much appreciated. Venereal diseases run rampant when there's no control, and some individuals should certainly be barred from the whorehouse.
A log for the shared warehouse would be practical as well.

It's named after the "Disco Bay", that had seen an increase in trade and whaling activity shortly before the ship was built. (Danish speakers can read more here).

Took some better pictures when the lights were on in the museum:

It's worth mentioning that it was intended as a "lastdragerfregat", which is a heavy frigate capable of carrying cargo - to be used for transporting supplies and also in this case carrying presents to the Barbary States in the Mediterranean.
It was intended to carry 18- and 8-pounders in the service, but when it was loaned (and later sold) to the East India (China) trade, it was changed to 8- and 4-pounders (26 8-pounders on the upper deck, 12 4-pounders on the quarter deck, and 4 4-pounders on the forecastle - two of which were to be bow chasers).
Picture of the beautiful 1:48 model built 1948-50 by E. Werge, Orlogsværftet, and in the exhibition at the Maritime Museum of Elsinore:
And my own pictures of the model:

Extra plans for the ship (and copies etc.) and a "plan" for the lanterns ^^:

You are mistaken. Rolling broadside is the same as what you're looking for.
-
What the OP is suggesting seems, like jodgi pointed out, no different than the rolling broadsides we already have.
If what he meant was an automatically aimed rolling fire, that would be ridiculous.
What I would rather see, then, is a lowering of the cool down (or complete removal of it) when using aimed shots - that would mean you could come in at any speed and adjust your timing (pushing of the space bar) accordingly, instead of having to adjust your speed and turn rate to the never-changing rolling broadside timing.
However, that's a bit more complicated when using ships with several gun decks since aiming shots take one deck at a time (unless you're very fast on your keys, and can switch between the gun decks with F1, F2, etc. while simultaneously aiming and timing your shots). At least it would help to improve the timing of guns, crucial when raking, for smaller ships, while bigger ones would either have to rely on the regular rolling broadsides or be content with using only one deck's guns in the raking.

I'm not sure how your post relates to my issue, but there seems to be a good number of Steam fanboys in here. I guess I'm just out of sync...

The only restriction I remember seeing is the height of no more than 150. Maybe I missed other restrictions?
It's been changed.

Greetings,
Recently signatures have been restricted to one image. Is there any chance we can make that three? I like linking to the different NA projects I'm involved in using images.
I know my signature is a bit long, but perhaps the restriction should be total lenght/height of all images in the signatures instead.
Regards.
PS. I'm unable to edit my current signature without removing at least two images.

Well, it's only some games that have that issue. My above concern (also with the forced auto-updates) was, for instance, with Crusader Kings II, that switched to Steam servers and at the same time disabled all other ways of playing multiplayer.
-
Personally I think this is a size of trader that we're currently missing in the game. I think it looks older (the lines) than it really is; a plump, little, Dutch looking, West Indiaman

"The 'Frederiksdal', an armed frigate, which like many West Indiamen was built in Flensborg, 1780-82. Its first owner was the very big Copenhagen commercial firm of van Hemert, headed by two half brothers Pieter van Hemert and Gysbert Behagen. They belonged to the influential patrician set centred round the German reformed church. Later the ship passed into the possession of lieutenant commander Diderich von Holstein, who was Behagen's son-in-law. On the trading voyage mentioned in the article the 'Frederiksdal' also functioned as a training ship for six naval lieutenants and a number of cadets. In 1794 and 1795 the vessel made voyages to the West Indies for another owner, von Holstein's brother-in-law Thøger Abo, adjutant general. Thereafter it sailed between Denmark and Norway until it was sold to Norway in 1799 after Abo's bankruptcy."

I recently stumbled upon the Danish National Archives' digtalised ship plans, with pictures of fantastic detail. It's a bit clunky to manoeuvre in but it's a lot better than orlogsbasen.dk.
- You find the ship in the alphabetical register.
- There you'll find some basic information, and in the bottom left "Tegninger hørende til skibet:" Which is: Drawings belonging to the ship.
- These numbers are to be looked up here.
And there you have it!

Thank you!
Hopefully there's a little bit for everyone to enjoy, whether it be those concerned mostly with the in-game news and related stuff, or people reading it for the (historically accurate) oddities and bits and pieces, or perhaps a bit of thinly veiled humour.

After a long pause, there's finally a new issue up!

Steam is a third party I could do without. I always prefer my games outside Steam if possible. Mostly because I like to be in control of my own stuff, and giving control to Steam (that, for example, forces me to update games when that will break mod setups etc.) is disconcerting. Also, it's a kind of monopoly - monopolies are bad by definition if you ask me. Lastly, it doesn't leave room for old direct IP connections when playing multiplayer with friends, which can be very annoying when playing some games (especially older titles I suppose).

Yes, but it will counter the great advantage that older players have: they've gathered lots of exceptional upgrades and can avoid ever losing them if they play safe (don't use them on 1-durability ships). You can get the non-craftable upgrades at a lower level quite easily, but if you bring your exceptional powder monkeys to battle, and you fail to surrender rather than fighting to the last, you'll lose that advantage (just like losing an officer-life and your crew).
-
I agree; though I would expand upon that:
- Permanent upgrades on ships are lost at any loss of durability (and will stay on the captured one).
- Regular upgrades are lost upon "death", but are kept if you surrender (they will not be on the captured ship).
This might sound a bit harsh, but I think it's a step towards a more living upgrade production. This, however, should come alongside the possibility to put up contracts for selling/buying upgrades (at least permanent ones).
I FINALLY GET IT. Advice for new players!!
