A captains 1st priority is to prevent getting his ship sunk, so if my opponent says "this is enough, the only outcome is sinking as i continue" and choose a tactical retreat and he manage to do so, i wil consider him a true captain for making that decision. The game allows it so why not use it? To me it's about the gameplay. not to destroy my opponent, it doesn't have to be. A good battle is a good battle imo! I wil chase him down in the OW but if he manage to escape, i can only "good game and wel played" But that is just my way of playing naval action

I havent beeing sunk by making a wrong decision, only 3 times during pc a crash (psu overheat) wich leaves me ship captainless in the battle instance. I think some people don't know that it is a tactical decision to flee/retreat? Or when to make the right decision to flee/retreat? I did it several times to prevent sinking and losing a durabilty!

That is a good point, still to me it feels strange that an attemp to disengage doesn't cost you any points? And if you disengaged your only opion would be flee, aim your broadsides en batter the enemy to reduce crew with grapeshot for a another boarding attempt or damage his sails with chain to get a better chance to flee. And while you are in that proces you would have to stay out of your opponents boarding range to "reload" your preperation points. Because if you disengage a boarding you pulled the shortest straw and make a attempt to flee. So if you disengage you are losing a boarding attempt, imo the only reason why you hit the disengage butten to defend your self, and giving you the option to flee, wich is granted. But you should flee then because you used a huge amount of preperation points to do so! Get out of the opponent his boarding range because you wont survive a 2nd one!? (New boarding cooldowntimer is 35 seconds?) so you have time to flee, or knock of a couple more crew members with grape to do a 2nd attempt with les preperation points (because you disengaged). It's a difficult dance for me "boarding" i don't get the whole idea about it. So i could be that i am wong about the boarding mechanic Edit; 2nd thought, a reason to disengage while you are winning a boarding attempt is when the opposite ship's magazine catches fire and is about to explode!

I agree, Imo, disengage boarding should cost the one who is disengaging reasonable amount of preparation points, and both ships should begin to reload from where they left or empty guns! All crew is engaging so no reloading the guns during boarding.

this idea is to my liking, • Better tribunal cases. Direct linked to forum user. • Your name is reserved for you if you are fond of it. • You can have only one character so why not link it to forum? I understand very wel that admin's are very carefull with this, but i think they have the power to go incognito? Because the word spreads fast when they know who you are ingame in the community . Example, With battlefield 4 admin's/developers names where known and the whole opposite team would hunt for there dogg tags in several matches, first it was fun but on the long run it would become a problem when they seriously want to play a match without beeing hunted by the whole opposite team!

This is what the Dutch did, "your ships can't haul cargo, whe wil haul it for you" the Dutch where so good at it, that England accepted new naval laws that only english merchants can trade english goods. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Anglo-Dutch_War

Firstly i want to point out very strongly that is is only mine opinion, based on the footage that has provided by the accuser! and partially agree with Deviant post. ^what i believe, the neutral point of view of the event. At this point i personally would leave the battle, there is nothing for me to do here. They don't want/need my help Chainshot was selected the whole time on both broadsides, so Nimitz was shooting chain. except for the stern chasers! We would never know for sure what Nimitz intentions were? but at (0:35) https://youtu.be/cn9rS9_oyf8?t=35s Nimitz typing he would ram the snow, this is where i get my doubts of Nimitz intentions? it looks like very bad seamanship for sure! And ramming ships, that would be me last resort and even then i find no tactical solution for any problem in naval warfare? IMO! Yes it is wrong to sink, deliberately shoot green on green! The should be the bigger man and let it be. Yes the same question here, Why? Not only to you, but other players aswel, there is a huge map, the whole caribbean + more as your hunting area. Why?

i vote for the Highest punishment available please, these are the people where whe need to get rid of in here. Very unthoughtful, childish and in certain country's you wil get fined for this. Obersturmbahnfuhrer is a SS rank, and the SS under the rule of Heinrich Himmler where the scumbags of the nazi empire.

I googled the elder scrolls online dupe bug exploit, i really can't understand why people do this!!? Destroying a game's mechanics, for your own benefit, and knowing that it's destroying a game wich they love themselves? So in the long run they wil encounter problems (wich they created) themselves. So i'm glad that i'm playing Naval action and seeing that the great majority is mature enough to handel these problems like they should do, i misread/ didn't understood that the exploit/bug was handeld like it should, i thought people where caught exploiting it! And ofcourse i understand that you would have to find out if it is a bug and if it is exploiteble by using the bug for yourself by let's say test it, to make a proper report to dev's! So yes, BIG Thanks to Captain Brogsitter & Konali for finding it and reporting it, and ofcourse the developers for fixing it!! I't feels great to be a part of this community, a real mature state of mind here on the forum's & the game itself, i'll hope it stays this way in the future

There is a F11 report button for a reason, so keelhaul would be the appropiate punishment in this case from bow to stern!!

I thought if you are deliberately exploiting a glitch or bug, your assets and rank would be reset?!

logical and clear explanation For a layman like me on this matter, thanks! Generally i don't mind to wait +/-30 minutes to join the server, but i and other people work alot and sadly don't have much time to enjoy this beautiful game en build up character assets on 2 servers, hence i wait to join the PvP 1 server and the DAS clan set there sails there so it's worth the waiting . But all in all, what can't be done, can't be done

I was thinking the exact same thing, but i don't know how difficult this is for the Dev's to mirror the server data on a daily, weekly schedule? If it's not that diffecult,I would say pick this up in the daily server maintenance, or weekly? So if you don't have worrie about "losing progres" if join PvP 3 instead of PvP 1 when it's to busy? The only thing thats difficult about this is captured/lost ports, so i'm only speaking about mirroring the the players assets. And maybe put diffrent time periods on both servers (like PvP 1 1700-1750 & PvP 3 1750-1800)

Agreed, with this amount of players trade isn't Lucrative any more, even with knowledge of what a port is consuming and produce in a day! I sailed for hours to get rid of me cargo for a reasonable price not make los on the haul, because my destination port says "consumes (product)" and when entered port around 2000 where already in shop!? And i would lose a substancial amount of money if i sold it there! Then you see that a port consumes an x amount of that product in a day, but imo it's to low for 2200 people on a server? So my question/suggestion is the same as the OP, and make the consumation of the products related to the amount of players on server so everybody can trade a little bit and make it more lucrative for us?

Yes please!!! Good ideas, i like it! Never have been a clan kind of guy, but with naval action i'm going to give it a go. And with this it's way more interesting!

What is the DAS going to do? Stay on PvP 1 or move to PvP 3, or do we all go our seperate ways? Today's is the day to decide as the data of player progression is only going get mirrored once?

Same thougth here. +1 But why 8 bell's? Two would be better, i guess?

For the exact same reason i also dislike that idea, but you can bring it a bit more friendly imo? To Nau; The reality is on that matter, nobody is going to use the "tavern, tavern chat" in port because people don't spend much time in port and especially not chatting? They repair, buy/sell, craft etc etc and they are back on their way. At least that's wat i do!

Just joined the Dutch Antilles Squadron Thanks for letting me join!! Edit; Sadly i left the Clan, not because of any dispute or dislike. I left because i joined a another Clan wich suited me better. anyways still a great Clan, and still, thanks for letting my join!

I hope our alliance will last long. dobra wycieczka

I really liked Master & Commander aswel and i'm saddened, that they don't do a second movie? Maybe this wil do the trick? > http://www.cinemablend.com/m/new/Russell-Crowe-Asks-Fans-To-Demand-A-Master-And-Commander-Sequel-22046.html But like Steelsandwich suggested, Michiel de Ruyter is a very good movie with pretty decent english/american actors and from Dutch film making this is very rare. It shows the life of one of the greatest Dutch Admirals Michiel de Ruyter in his prime time.

Exactly the same here. Only funny enough Admiraal Jacob van Heemskerck wasn't taken (wich is almost par to Admiraal Bestevaêr Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter) when i was one of the last batch of players who joined Naval Action the Verenigde Provinciën? Michiel de Ruyter was obviously already taken .

Yes, i would like see what specific kinds of modifications wil do to speed, rate of turn and rigging and sails. Before i head into battle

aye aye. [sOLVED] It's working!!

Those sound files from Napoleon will be copy protected; if you have not contacted the Creative Assembly you should do. They are decent devs and were very helpful back when I modded their games, I am sure they will give you permission, but you should have asked first. I removed the link, thanks for the headsup mate, much appreciated!
