Wait option means your ship STOPS for 2 minutes in open world. The two times referenced here you were close enough your ship was bobbing in the water, something that happens in the visual matrix of this servers software within at about 2K range. The second time when your ship went poof I was able to hit attack button in SECONDS.
You are a better person than this, I am very confused and worried why you take such pleasure in smashing low level players that just hurts a nation. I was never going to report this, and simply deal with the behaviour myself, but it is out of my hands now.

I have had this issue come up in the past. What I did is I have one computer hardwired with Ethernet, and the other via WIFI. i have had no further issues of this nature.

Being lenient with new guys can't be expected from most people sadly, we are creatures of habit and issues. Hard coded game mechanics that shower puppy stomping is asinine, and self destructive to an intellectual property you actually care about.

He vanished in front of me twice, after the first time I waited with 2 other ships and he reappeared off our port side running. We gave chase again. I was catching him, the second time I was within 30 seconds of tag, because I had the wind. His ship was full sail, running like mad, then *poof*, 10 seconds later the attack button lit up, I clicked and the countdown started, but could not stop before I exited the attack circle and "Out of Range" came up. I was unable to retag before the retag counter ended. And then I sat on the spot for over 2 hours waiting for him. This night ED ROSE is not coming up on combat news over and over and over. But i just went back to KPR and will go hunting. Time will tell but i am standing by to take his ship.
Nope, no tow to port available, he was in deep water going full speed.

Well if the instruction were posted they should be made public. So our young players can have the ability to insta escape ganks. SAME MECHANICS FOR ALL, not just the gamey power player boys.

His ship at full sail in front of me, well within 30 seconds of tagging range. Suddenly his ship dissapears, but the attack tag comes active, I hit it but ssail past the tag circle. double back, but it is too late. 20 minutes later a repeat of this. Currently sitting on the spot where his ship at full sail going fast dissapeared. His clanmate reported he is not online. I was never going to report this crap on the forum. Because the devs demand video and forensic data and I can't be bothered to debug their game. And dont tell me a pirate can take a 3rd rate mission 32K out of Pedro Cay
/edit I have just been told LegoLarry reported the same exploit recently and was dismissed wholesale. o7 larry

Guys, I am not calling out individuals, I am not attacking YOU, this is not about YOU. READ it again as a discussion of Game META, and the toxic behaviours it encourages. This is a well thought out suggestion to hopefully get the Dev's attention on an issue that is costing him money, good will and success moving forward, because this is an example of a CORRECTABLE problem that is taking food off his table.
Please add any imput, or counter suggestions, but leave the silly nonsequiters somewhere else. This is not the place for yuck yucks

This applies to any nation, even 5 guys rocking up to a Russian PVE area killing new players.

There is a PROBLEM, game mechanics give rewards for players coming in and smashing low level players. We all know how combat news comes up, Player X comes in with SUPER SHIP PORT BONUS BIG BOY with all the bling and mods and kicks puppies for hours at a time until he has achieved another mission and then leaves to collect his reward for just hurting low level players.
This is akin to a very strong street thug entering a children's playground and beating the little ones to death, and when he has his 10 dead kids, he leaves running from the adults trying to protect the kids.
After this he returns to his home port, and the Constable (Game mechanics ala Developer) hands him his gold and rewards for killing those kids because a job well done.
The aftermath is people quit, either because they can't accomplish anything without losing everything repeatedly, or they join the other team so they can be showered with rewards for stomping puppies, because game mechanics do double harm by denying the struggling children even enough reales to replace what is taken from them, and they say, "I bought this game to have fun, and this is how it is set up, UNINSTALL and I will tell my friends to AVOID this game, the company, now to STEAM to see if I can get my refund.
Thus we have a situation where Game Labs has lost, and will continue to lose, potential sales that could be in the MILLIONS, all to cater to the few big bad-asses who kill children for fun and get rewards showered upon them by game mechanics.
NO REWARDS [Missions, reales, dubloons etc] for sinking ships 2 classes below you, only expense on your part UNLESS it is a BR difference that puts you at real actual disadvantage. You have to actually EARN what you get, as opposed to being blessed for doing your part to kill the population of another nation.
This game can still GROW, still produce profits for YEARS, but with the mechanics in place stubbornly catering to people whose very behaviour is toxic to a game community, and yet ENCOURAGED and REWARDED in the game. Shooting both feet for trying to walk down the road of success.
Thank you for reading, this is based on my observations and experience in this gorgeous, game that I love, after using paypal to buy an Alpha Key in Aug 2015. The analogy may read as extreme, but it is accurate.

Anolytic,
I am guilty of conflating REDS with Russia, for that i apologise. Thinking back over the years REDS clan has been gentlemen sailors, in fact i remember having a problem with a few of your guys and pointing it out, which you addressed. I agree REDS is not the problem, it is the Russian horde that has descended on the server with the Dev's implied tacit approval of such abusive behaviour. I have worked with GB players off and on throughout the history of this game, I also have never bought the damn Traitor DLC. But I have been there shouting, as GB hemorrhages players because of the puppy stomping of BIG BIG boys in their super ships coming to pound new players, and the Dev's game mechanics REWARD that kind of crap, (NO REWARD FOR KILLING 6th RATE WITH 3rd RATE, and minimal reward if its 5th. I have seen this 4 times that i can think of, I want to do everything I can to make this game have a healthy population 3 months, 6 months a year and onward. the Devs need to think less LOCALLY, this game is played around the world, even though Dev decisions have pissed away a large percentage of a potential market.
in remembrance of Jeheil, the best FREE advertising this game ever had, who finally, after being IGNORED for living on the wrong section of the world, gave up and took his FREE talents to another game because of Eurocentric arrogance on the part of the devs.

To be honest, the storms that roll in with all the lightning and rumbling thunder are cool, love seeing it. But 3.6 hours later it just gets tiresome. Love the idea of fog, maybe disable the submarine view from OW.

Miaowi,
You bring up a few good points, that i was not aware of, Ill just ignore the ad hominem tirade. I am not moaning, I am stating an opinion based on over 4 years with this game. You disagree, and that's fine, we can talk about it.
So what exactly is REDS role to help with the server balance? because that is what i was responding to, and reacting to Anolytics demands. Take a breath before you reply, and go easy on that keyboard.

I'm still waiting for the Klingons, Romulans, Bolians, Ferengi, and Wookies.

You're seriously trying to recruit more people into Russia?
/edit Removing the anger because it was misplaced. REDS is a good, noble clan.

Now that I'm in the no life club I actually like the Caribbean weather modeled accurately on on Local Black Sea and North Sea conditions. Actually living in the region this game is set, it's true. I storms here for days, year round, its always dark clouds. 🤣

Take a 5th rate mission. Go in and cap the ship, whatever it is. Go PVP in your trash ships with mediums and some repairs or crap mods.
Costs you nothing if you lose and you have fun. Sink or capture a port bonus ship with all the bling in your trash ship and you get that rush. i do this every day in the 1v1 zone, it is great fun. Just need more people to stop being so precious with their little pixel boats.

Let us all sit back and wait for the massive attack on Vera Cruz, at server time 0300.

This has been in place for well over a year. Sail in to the port with a trade shipe, sell it, or suicide outside.

Actually, Operation Octopussy involved players from 3 nations in port battle and a few other nations screening. Every port that was defended was not taken. But then, Chrissy would've known this.
Fake news!

I will not even dignify this lie, you are trying to scorch Earth me, in the past we always disengaged on friendly terms, and I would ask you to hunt elsewhere... then tell you too... then demand... then I attacked you with a basic Aggy and ripped your ship apart multiple times until I forced you to sink me. That was 4 days ago, now I have a fasty Wasa on standby at KPR to drive you away and protect brit newbies. Say what you will Rosenquest, but I always considered you a friend, and really wondered what happened to make you act this way. When you calm down and ever want to talk, I will be there for you on comms.
