GB has less RVR clans at this moment than any other time in recent years. But if you want to spend time with your alts painting the map in colours Mama Russia allows then go right ahead. No one cares when the balance is so one sided.

Unless one of the seven players that the devs listen to make this suggestion we are just wasting our time. If ports and ship building wasn't such a huge investment in time and resources then some sort of war goal and map reset would be good.
Currently with Russia owning over half the map and the other nations holding the ports which Mama Russia allows RVR and any incentive to really play NA remain dead. Player base and activity is almost back to how it was leading up to the wipe before release.
If they do ever reset the map, please return the game back to 4-5 historic nations and make pirates pirates.

May I suggest we move the tactical and mechanical discussion to another thread? To keep this one focused on RegularK's idea.
Battle Chat is going to be removed in a future update, RK's idea is commendable but soon irrelevant.

Of course some go beyond just smack talk. Hence OP mission is a good one.
Removed the players name in respect of the clan.

RIP? Once he actually engaged it was over in less than five minutes, boarded and won.

I'm going to miss battle chat when they remove it from the game.

Thanks for that photo Archer.

Barrack ships in Portsmouth. Many veterans of the Age of Sail were used as barrack ships well into the 20th century, a practice that insured the survival of some, including USS Constitution and HMS Victory.

Seems I sail two of the most unpopular ships for the most unpopular nation.

This approach can lead only to rework of the all combat mechanic and wood stats will be rebalanced again and again when it will become obvious that pieces do not fit together. It is a shame when you try to develop mmo sandbox and do not understand mathematics and math statistics.
We've been on this merry-go-round for years.

I dont think is going to be easier than it is right now, cuz right now its easy to demast a small ship on a SoL, anyway back to topic
No because now mast mods will have little to no effect at close range. I've never been demasted in a Prince with Elite French and Kiritimati Masts, now that will significantly change.
Anyway see what happens but expect the change will favour bigger ships more, 5th and 6th rates will be seen even less than they are now.

Well a few 6 pounders should not frighten any 1st rate, and also to give these guns at least a little window where they can be effective even against the bigger ship its imho only going to be good for gameplay, it is the resurrection of the 7th, 6 and many 5th rates.
Quite the opposite I expect, demasting of those ships will be even easier for players using ships of the line and one mistake will likely see half your hull gone at close range. He who has the larger ship with most mods wins.

Could you please consider adjusting the timer effect on trade ships, currently it's a bad experience for players if they send their fleet to sail away and escape only to still lose the entire fleet because they've lost their main ship in battle before the AI have had time to escape.
Maybe reduce the timer effect on AI trade ships to the previous values?

Haven't done so yet, but I will try indeed. Thanks for the advice
Did this work for you? Using a AMD card by any chance?
I had same issue 30 FPS OW on Ultra instead of 100 FPS updated the drivers to version 20.5.1 and now back to 100 FPS

Let's limit PvP on the PvP server, I'm sure that'll keep folks playing.
Look at it from a new or casual player experience. Having a Snow jump into your battle and stern camp while trying to gain XP vs NPC for a lot of people isn't PVP but griefing and just another reason why many folks do stop playing.

Well seems doesn't matter what I say you are going to argue against it anyway or it's just going straight over your head. Back to topic.

this no longer makes you a solo player. makes u affiliate player. same thing as now. so your claims of whatever gone poof
in case u missed!
Nope not at all, because I can still choose to wipe any alliance and go back to attacking them anytime I please for a price. But for helping friends of a specific nation for a short period of time or longer it's a welcome change.
Solo means no clan tags and the benefits of being in a clan, that doesn't change.
