My suggestion would be allow to choose durabilities on crafting, more dur requires more mats. This, I think, would satisfy both crowds.

Talk about arrogant. I only have weekends to play, so maybe 8 hours a week and I'm a hardcore fan. Not leaving. Yes this patch is hard, week 3 and still getting my Econ and money stash set up, but it doesn't deter me.

I thought Devs wanted SoLs to be a wow factor but with the new conquest mechanism it seems like SoLs will be easy to get again. Personally, I'd like SoLs to be rare.

@Global Pirates Just leave South Haiti for us French to harass Brits. ? Back on topic, someone above posted allowing capture of AI 6th rates and lower. I think that would be good in case someone loses everything, it will allow them to get back on their feet without returning to the basic cutter. Plus I enjoyed my first capture, even though it was AI, and would like to give new players that same feeling.

Amen! I know everyone likes their big ships but this new such is lord seems like an undoing of trying to make them rare.

I thought basic cutters couldn't have fleets?

Nice job! There definitely need to be more people out there interested in trader raiding than making money or grinding skill slots

Take note of what trade goods are sold for in your nations capital, I actually created a spreadsheet to make it easier for me. Then go to a nearby enemy port. There is probably something there that you can make money off of. Yesterday I made a huge mistake, I got down to 16k gold after harvesting Oak, do not do what I did. You want at least 100k to be able to fill your boat with goods. But I was able to make it back to 126k from 16k doing trade runs. I'm sure all the really money making materials will be bought but there will be something at enemy ports not too far away to make money from. You will not need to sail hours just to make some money. I hope this helps.

Maybe you can find someone in your nation that doesn't mind the sail and pay them to do it?

What nation do you play for? Ask in nation chat. I'm sure there are some people in your nation who know how to make money relatively fast.

Cayman Brac is a Free Town. You can no longer teleport to and from free towns but you can teleport between national outposts.

Maybe on basic cutters you can only do 1v1? I like basic cutter PvP.

I'm definitely not new to the game and I still struggle with the lowest level mission in a basic cutter. ? I should try it more but basically I avoid it. What I do for fun is search for PVP in my basic cutter (yes, PVP, please don't take that away as suggested in another thread) or hit AI trader brigs, I also suggest please bring back AI trader lynxs and cutters back to the game. Point being, there are ways for a new player to make money and level up other than missions. Edit: Hit an AI trader brig the other day and got lucky getting a historical artifact which sells for more than 80k. Got outposts and buildings set up

Yes please, at least bring back capture of AI traders. If while hunting in enemy waters I hit an AI trader, it was nice when you could take control of the trader, enter an enemy port under the smuggler flag, and sell the goods.

A few early moments I remember sailing from Mortimer to meet some friends in the Bahamas. We were going to pull a flag for a shallow water port battle. I got completely lost on the way to the meeting point, had to find a port and then figure out where I was. It was frustrating seeing land then realizing there was no port there, but still very fun. I loved the feeling of getting lost. And then on the way to plant the flag it was raining, making it hard to find the port. I also like joining my clan mates in missions or hitting AI ships, even though everyone was in light frigates or third rates and I was still in a basic cutter. I really enjoyed hitting larger ships in the basic cutter and trying to outmaneuver the gunfire. I loved the very first time I captured an AI trader ? and the very first time I sunk a player trader as I was not good enough to slow him down enough to board.

Ok, now I need to attack an AI trader facing east or west just to make sure. Lol.

I don't think it should close if NA detects TS or discord. Why try to deter communication? If you are worried about revenge fleets, my solution is get rid of the decimals on the GPS, use integers only, and hide the coords on the F11 menu.

If you look on Google Earth you can find the Canal de la Tortue by Port de Paix so Tortuga may not be a Disney creation.

Love the paintings! Save them to Imgur or something & share the links.

The problem with this is everyone is playing hop frog so there is little action. My suggestion to satisfy both parties is keep tps but bring back cooldown. Personally, I'd like to try no tps at all.

I'll be out there @TommyShelby probably in gray ships as good ones will be too hard to replace.

I still think it would be possible to send expeditions out at ports for cards (like I think was originally planned), have those cards become collections when completed can be turned into admirality for something.

May I suggest you update the steam page. The last news on there, at least when I looked, said wipe to happen April 19th.

Couldn't you still send expeditions out at ports you visit for cards? Maybe have collections you can trade in at admirality for something?

I'd like to see exploration missions & collections that can be turned in for items such as paint jobs, titles, or special sail customizations. Add to it a collection for rare fish, as we already have rare fish in game.
