Arvenski

She is a beauty. I haven't been around much, but seeing those screenshots made me feel a bit of temptation to play NA again.

I think this is the wrong board, mate.

If that's legit, 82 guns... blimey. I was not expecting her to have that many. She's going to pack a punch.

Do we know which Rotterdam we're getting? Threedecks.org lists like 21 ships with that name, including quite a few which sound like they'd be about the size I'd expect a "combat Indiaman" to be.

Right, I've updated the thread for the upcoming HMS Leopard, Le Redoubtable, and HMS Implacable (which I've listed as a French ship, because it was originally French). It's always nice to see that more ships are coming.

I wasn't expecting our Temeraire to be flush-decked, myself. But hey, whatever works. It's a cool-looking model.

Ah, just like the 'Pray' feature, then. Will we get chat bans for speculating about what it does?

So far, I guess I've been listing ships by who built them. I'm content to keep it that way, at least for now.

Updated, thanks! Are the Constitution and United States both in the game now? And are we getting a reworked Surprise, then? I haven't kept up with everything that's been announced. Also, whatever happened to the Santa Cecilia?

Everything's perfect, right?

A massive advertisement of NA might help, but that won't be enough, if people buy the game and then quickly stop playing it. We need to figure out what needs to be done to keep people playing.

So much for not having to sail far from a friendly port to find something to fight. As someone who hates spending much time fruitlessly sailing around the open world, waiting for my ship to get from A to B or for an enemy ship to appear, it looks like missions, and maybe the areas around free towns, could be the only reliable options left, unless I get lucky and find a spot were lots of AI frigates tend to hang out... In other words, this sounds like one more reason for me to not play this game, because now I'll be even less likely to find something to fight than before.

Oh wow, that's amazing. I'm so looking forward to seeing that ship ingame.

Being able to attack merchant convoys (trader + escort traders, and perhaps a frigate or two to guard them) would be cool, for sure.

If you're saying the devs should take ships already available for free ingame and then sell them as DLC for real money... no.
