As mentioned earlier, I made a bugreport when it occured. So the devs should be able to investigate it and maybe discover a bug in the warning system. Impact on the player involved is huge tho, so I hope that with the introduction of a new UI some extra thought will be put in the warning system, preventing misclicks. As mentioned by Caldwell, in this case a bug/player mistake was the reason, not criminal intent. Therefore I would support an reinstatement of Hornblower, so we can all have a laugh about this situation and noone is having a loss. Grtzzz Bubbles

LOLZ, Well you did a great job sofar, enjoy the thug life http://memegenerator.net/instance/45558623 Grtzzzz Bubbles

Sorry Hornblower, You must have misclicked, I guess, cus no battle warning occured I just saw a battle 2 brits vs 1 pirate. Made a bugreport, must say its a very effective way to eliminate an enemy player ;-) Hopefully admin will reinstate your old status tho... Grtzzz Bubbles

LOL, most ppl react like that when they hear our favo way to eat patat: ( if bored, skip to 1:30) Frikadellen, I personally hate them, its all the left over parts of cow, chicken an pig grinded together and fryed. I would never recommend them to anyone, not gonna make a commercial here or anywhere else for fryed eyeballs&brains, yugh . We Dutch put sweets on our bread, but also meat and or cheese (no, rly?) One of my favo ones was and is: Bread with Peanutbutter and sambal... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sambal#Indonesian_sambal Ah the beers... Lagers are our main consumables, Heineken en Grolsch are most famous, Amstel and Best-Bier are the cheapest way to get a headache tho... Allthough Im not from the south of the Netherlands, after Grolsch my favourite would be Jupiler. As mentioned by DeRuyter and Goodblue the smaller brands are more tastefull. As I live close to Amsterdam, this is one of my favourites: http://www.brouwerijhetij.nl/?lang=en Grtzzz Bubbles

Since all budget-cuts this is one of the last squadrons the Dutch Airforce has, but its history started 75 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._322_(Dutch)_Squadron_RAF Grtzz Bubbles

Hi Ragnar, Dont worry about this issue with that French player, this was untrue and is already closed down. As for attacking other players: feel free to profit from a trader who takes her/his chances in the open world. No need for a chase with 6 ppl on a lonely snow tho... Grtzzz Bubbles

Velkommen :-)

Hi, All for it, but it needs 2 items that are currently not implemented: crew xp and morale. IMHO this could easily be combined with my suggestions about those 2 items: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/6903-no-repairs-and-beyond/ Grtzzz Bubbles

Groningen is nice, a student-town with lots of bars all concentrated in the old city-centre. Another interesting place could be Franeker, where they have one of the oldest Planetariums in Europe. http://www.planetarium-friesland.nl/fr Or the oldfashioned pumping station in Lemmer: http://www.woudagemaal.nl/8143/de-linformation-en-francais/ Grtzzz Bubbles

Hi, as a native Dutchy I'm pleased to read someone enjoyed our little country! As for us not using that many spices in our foods, while having an monopoly on the market, I can guess the business-strategy behind it: Dont get high on your own supply We Dutch dont really have a cuisine, we borrow a lot from other countries and former colonies. French, Italian and Indonesian cuisines are most popular in the Netherlands. Freshly baked Kibbeling is pretty nice tho, most of the times it aint baked fresh and gets very soggy :/ Pancakes are a favourite for most indeed and every child will love them, nice sidenote: Pancake (Pannekoek) also is an abusive nickname for a loser. Off to lunch now, all this food talk gets me all hungry here Grtzzz Bubbles

So, you are offering wine and women to everyone joining the French? irl? Grtzzz Bubbles

LOL, was that the only time the French beat us? Must be... Grtzzz Bubbles

@Laik, Its all fine by me, also because my outpost at Plymouth contains both frigs and sols. But I dunno if the rest can easily switch ships.as well. I'll be online in an hour, lets be in touch via ts and decide wether we start with sol or frig, ok? Grtzzz Bubbles

Hi Bart, Aye frig only. Grtzzz Bubbles

Also enlist yourself on this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jRMwq2SF60Y05QK8riZ8sRwkKKSxa57ifow4b7poaJM/htmlview?pli=1#gid=0 And join teamspeak at na.lynixgaming.com Grtzzz Bubbles

Since pvp activity dropped around Plymouth, smog levels have gone down :-P. Im fine with frig-only, I do have to do some irl-stuff saturday though, so not sure if I make it, or only on the second traf. I have 5th to 1st rates around Plymouth, so will join with whatever is needed. Grtzzz Bubbles

Never seen it b4... Grtzz Bubbles

Same fear here, same goes for modules. Imho base hitpoints of the masts should increased, as well as the effective range of hurting masts should be decreased, as proposed by Laik. Any module should give you a slight edge, not be a n easy win addon. Some doublestacking of mods should be made impossible, how can 3x copperplating be faster then 1?? As for ships: I rly like the balancing between belle poule and frigate, both have pro's and cons and differ only slightly. Therefore sailing either of them comes down to playstyle and personal preference. I would like to see all rates have the same balancing. In ST I preferred the vic above the santi, current santi with 12pdrs and increased turnspeed just makes the vic obsolete. So there are still some balancing issues here... Grtzzz Bubbles

Lets all converge on Plymouth for an End of the World Convention. Bring your best ships and let your guns do the talking! Grtzzz Bubbles

Hi, Fully supporting this. I would suggest the following to improve it: - A captains cabin in the OW where you can check and update your log, whilst sailing your ship. - A captains office in each outpost, where you can also manage your other ports by giving orders that will be sent by mail, mail that will arrive at the receiver after a calculated ammount of days according to distance between ports. - Possibility to share parts of your logs with other captains, like the port info. Grtzzz Bubbles

Is that the square rigged version? I rly hope I can outfit it with 68pd carronades... Grtzzz Bubbles

I would like to view it as a winwin situation: facilitate current players with an easy acces pvp, while getting more testdata sbout pvp...Im all for new features, cant wait for crafting and portbattles. It will take a while before that is all properly working, so why not have a controlled skirmish session to entertain players? Players have more fun/min, devs have more input/min... WinWin Grtzzz Bubbles

Thx, current pvp earns ppl double xp and loads of gold, so an entryfee of some kind should be fair. Or the ships are borrowed, but no xp or gold are gained. If borrowed, the choice of ships should be rank based. Personally I dont mind putting a dur on the line, I can test trading and grinding during the week to buy ships for spending on skirmish day. Grtzzz Bubbles

Hi, I've been participating in Trafalgar battles on saturday. It's a lot of fun: big fleet battles between players as in the seatrials before. There are some drawbacks though, everyone has to get there and get back to base afterwards. Also the puzzle to get to a balanced fight is a long process. All in all it takes up a lot of time of the participants. To speed up the whole process it would be great if the old ST -lobby with the battlerooms would be opened up once per week on saturdays. It will speed up the battle entry process and therefore will result in more big fleet battles, providing more testdata about new game mechanics and modules. By opening it up once a week ppl will still be testing the OW for the rest of the week, but saves up a lot of time for all involved in trafalgar. Ppl should select a ship in port and then join the lobby of the skirmish room, still losing a dura when sunk. So let me know if you would like this one day per week easy access pvp battles! Grtzzz Bubbles

Hi, Just some advice: do some trade runs, buy pine for 3 and sell it for 9. Gold isnt an issue in current build, 3-5 runs should give you enough gold for a 2nd brig. Grtzzz Bubbles
