Just to chime my little opinion in. Switching nations without any downside is a bad idea. Someone wants to switch nations for a valid reason, sure. But it should have some sort of time limit or penalty.

Ink you're my Hero. I did, in fact, have teamspeak overlay running. Turning that off has so far resolved the problem. 3 cheers, my man.

I don't think I'm using the Overlay. I have overwolf but Im not using it. I'm trying to find an indication that overlay is active and I dont see it in any of the settings. So, I just tabbed over here to write this response and when I went back to my Naval Action client it crashed on me again. Could be related. Oh wait, no...the reason it crashed was because I opened Teamspeak to check to see if I had the overlay... lol. Definitely caused by TS again.

Just sent another report. Number is NAS-85580

I am using teamspeak 3. Is there a way to find the number? I didnt write it down. I can send another one though.

Greetings Captains, I'm encountering a pretty frustrating error. My game runs fine. Yeah. Beautiful sea, pretty lights in my Yacht's cabin etc etc. Except when I try to talk to my guildies on teamspeak. Then, it crashes. Instantly. Every time. If I have teamspeak running and I launch naval action, white screen then instant client.exe stopped responding. If I get all the way into game and then try to launch teamspeak... insta crash. I have verified files. I have reinstalled entirely. I have played around with my monitor settings (I am running surroundx or whatever the geforce multi monitor thing is called.) Completely going back to just a one monitor setup doesnt help. I'm not sure what else to try. I've sent the crash report via steam and everything. Any thoughts? Catfish

Just to clarify, do we still login the same way? No new client being released as this is a steam release, but still Beta, ya?

Sure it does, if pig cloud is in fact in danger of being removed.

Ah okay, I guess that makes sense, eh? Thanks

The wood types seem to be mostly covered here, except teak, which I tried to add my experience to. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/7029-ships-inherent-characteristics/?p=133208#entry133208

Teak does seem to have a speed increase without a penalty to hull. On my teak cutter I built, I received blue speed, blue heel, and something grey that was a minor deal, can't remember and I'm at work now.

It's a moniker, not a literal description (at least solely.)

Ok thanks. Just excited, and the fact that the error message changed on me made me think maybe I was missing a step. Check back in a bit then! See you on the open sea

Captains, Never been so exited to wipe. I get Error: Wrong Protocol Version when i try to log in. It said earlier that the server was down, so this is a different change. Is the server still being updated or is there a client or some other way I'm supposed to upgrade that I'm missing. I feel like before the game updated after launching. Could be wrong. Do I need to be patient or is there an update step I'm missing? Cheers, Catfish Quinn

I wouldn't want to be able to do anything crazy or disrupt from the games asthetics. Minor changes that can add personality and add to the feeling of ownership of a particular ship can add lots of value to the game for me. And I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for such options.

Isn't there a space in between? Others have mentioned this sort of thing before. If there were more opportunities to create instances there would be more opportunities to "sail." Now, I'm not entirely sure what the instances would be. Docking? Exploring coastlines? Fishing perhaps? This would require the introduction of new game mechanics, so this is probably a little further down the line. Would be welcome, though. Speaking of welcome... I'd really like to just be able to drop into an instance. Practice manual sailing, test out some guns, whatever. Obviously, would have to put some sort of anti exploit measures in, but they wouldn't be too difficult to impliment.

Ya, I would just like to do a custom flag like at the top of my main mast. Not replacing the nation flag. Edit: like the one on my avatar.

I also want a captain that I can put a little hat on. Just sayin

Hello hello, So, while I highly doubt I am the first to bring this up, I would greatly enjoy the ability to one day customize the appearance of my favorite gal. Whether this is a free feature, pay for vanity items feature, or something else.. So, what visual customization options do you want/feel are appropriate? I personally would love to have user created flags as an option. I would enjoy custom sails as well, but I'm not sure those are historically accurate, so maybe not on those. Also, custom ship nameplates. Your turn, go.

Unfortunately I have to work at 1:30 PM Vegas time so I won't be able to make it. Really wanted to this time, though. And um, why would you pick Vegas as your point of reference? Time doesn't matter when you're in Vegas.

Edit: nevermind!

Thanks, good info to help with deciding what to jump into first after the wipe, and I get rid of my guilt inducing redeemables...

Cheers mate. I'll give it a watch as soon as I can. Appreciated

Additionally, I need to improve my terminology. Any suggestions on where I can learn the basic language of the game?

Greetings Captains, After getting my feet...wet...this weekend, I learned two things. I already love this game and I'm not as good as I thought I would be. Can you direct me, in written or video form, to a guide to combat for the layman. I'm particularly struggling with wind advantage and positioning tactics. For example, in the fore-aft riggers, when I find myself in the position of having the wind tilt my boat in the proper angle to actually shoot the other ship as opposed to the seagulls circling above, it is more an accident than by design. If I find myself shooting at the sky, I struggle to turn the situation around. This is just one example. Advice gentlemen? Catfish
