I don't think it will be as soon as 3 months, but possibly by years end there will be a signifigant population shift to that effect. We could be wrong and I hope we are. Summer could be potentialally be a problem in that regard with kids being out of school, but this is such a niche game it may not have an impact. The issue is the longer the fix takes the bigger said population gets and you risk pissing more people off and they quit. Some people refuse to see the potential issue and are content with the status qou, then when the reality hits them they will quit in frustration as well.

This list lost all credibility when it list WoWs as #1

Not a big issue, but I noticed while running missions today that my pirate opponent is assigned a rank from my nation. Would it not make sense for the Pirates in missions to have the appropriate pirate rank? Not a big deal but something I noticed.

Naval Sandbox? Does not have the same ring to that Naval Action does.

What faction are you guys?

So what gives you the right to take a solo players enjoyment?

Thinking about joining a clan ( U.S pvp 1) but I have some hearing issues that make voice chat really hard for me to use, at least the listening to commands aspect. Not sure if any would be interested in having me join or if it's even worth trying.

Right now it almost feels like on a PVP server players are forced to do missions to get by. There needs to be more incentive to pvp on the pvp servers.

I believe all these have been suggested at one point iirc.

I'm not sure how far you have progressed so not sure what you know about the " higher " levels.SOL's already have limited durabilities. 1st rates have 1, 2nd rates have 2 iirc. Port battles will get harder. The developers are working on bigger and tougher forts. I don't have the link right now but there is a thread with some of there upcoming fort designs. You will need SOL's to win PB's. Attacking deep water ports in frigates simply won't cut it. SOL's are not very manuverable. To sail one solo in the OW for any length of time is generally a bad idea. Small groups of frigates would rip a solo SOL to shreds in OW. Hell even a group of snows with reasonably intelligent players could. You also have to remember, if somone spots a solo player controlled SOL it will be hunted down and most likely captured. Cost and the limited durability will make SOL's the purview of large clans already. Your average solo player won't be able to afford to keep signifigant amounts of 1st and 2nd rates.

Flu sucks, hope you guys are feeling better.

Meh, I'm more about a good fight than the outcome, shame so many here are afraid of a good fight.

Pretty sad when the 2 biggest factions can't handle the 3rd largest by themselves but have to band together to actually accomplish something. Guess the Brits and Pirates may have the quantity, but it's pretty obvious they are lacking in the quality to do anything on their own respectively. It's borderline disgraceful when you have to team up with the Spanish, who cannot even fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Will be intereesting to see the inevitable betrayal in the works for end of March, that some of my friends who joined the game have told me about in some of the opposing nations clans.

Time to go rat hunting, looks like I know where my next outpost will be.

Just curious OP, does your clan require voice chat?

Good fortune to you

Typical American tactic? I know you guys in the Spanish faction have done it as well. But the double standard you hold yourselves to while maintaining your arrogance is interesting to say the least.

Cutters should not be engaging 3rd rates regardless. Would have to much potential for abuse. Also rereading you OP I realize my mistake, my apologies for thinking you were on PVE. 16 hour work days lol. It can be annoying finding Pvp, but it's worth it when you do. The hunt for me is part of the fun, and is progressing to better ships.

Not to seem rude but in your OP you said you bought the game thinking it would be mainly a pvp but your on a PVE server? I'm on PvP 1, and I've not progressed beyond 1st lt. but am still enjoying pvp without the biggest ships.

While I will say that there are people here who want to force this into a primarily Econ game vs PVP. Giving everyone access to the top of the line ships right away makes for pretty stagnant gameplay. Most players would play the top of the line ships, basically ignoring the lower end ships. After a few weeks playing the best ships would get boring, and with noting to work towards leaves many with a void in the sense of accomplishment dept. Nothing to work for leads to stagnation and leaving for others games with a sense of progress.

It would be annoying but not entirely unexpected. As has been stated the only thing they have promised from the beginning to keep is Rank/XP

I only take issue with one group in the Spanish faction, which I'm sure most here are in agreement with.

I miss all the fun, not up later than 11pm and up at 4:30 every morning.

Make sure the trip is in Augest, not sure how you could make the tempature realistic in game tho.

Sounds like move assets to free ports and capitols lol. Which should be done anyways
