I like pie, I also like sinking random friendly trader ships laden with iron <3

I'd just let it go. I don't really see this as a personal joke. Maybe the guy was looking for actual advice. Would answering sign up on J-Date make that person a bigot as well?

Better known as the "Winden"

Given the early access format of this game I would strongly suggest patch notes and a change log to be listed any time a hotfix or update is going live. Detail isn't always important, as it tends to scream "omgigotnerfedcry" But I strongly suggest this and a dedicated sub forum that's easier to find as many things tend to be found in various areas of the forum. (oh.. and I'm tired and lacking sleep so my english took a vacation)

It's pretty easy to navigate once you learn the basics. We're currently covering with nothing but the map and a knowledge of directions and doing just fine. Take the time to learn, you'll get it. As for the ship store.. save the pennies.

As far as I know, turned off as well. I havn't been seeing it happening as the damage xp is less than 50 for all sides of a Niagra or less~ Without the kill and assist xp.. it's not viable or even worth using.

Completely agree to banning those exploiting it.. But I don't think in this case it is an exploit rather than a broken mechanic currently. Hoping the the kill/assist xp to be back in soon.. missions all day is kind of eye bleedy~

No you can't, you can only join the defenders currently. - We just checked. It's already off... there were attacking a trader to take it's stuff~ Again, It's already off.. That's why there is no kill/assist xp right now~

You can't join the attacking side. Two players who were obviously together.. given the names. Due to a bug one was put on your team. It's a broken mechanic currently~ but regardless you were being attacked. The only reason he's on your team is because the game forced him there. Any new players wouldn't know this

These guys...

Let the conquest begin!

Every post in the past week by you or your "community" has involved FTS players in some way in the past week, all of them locked. "quite concerning trend developing within a specific group of people within the Pirate Nation" Not saying our names, but continuously posting things aimed at us, is either A) Passively aggressively throwing no evidence posts at the wall waiting for something to maybe be construed as us exploiting B ) Incessantly trolling us, and in turn, the tribunal with your antics for drama. As for the screenshot, I was refering to your recently locked post, by your other member on the exact same subject.

A random screenshot, with no signs of exploiting anything with a dude with an FTS tag on.

Except.. FTS doesn't sail out of MT for anything other than trade. We moved shortly after the server launched yesterday. I would really like to see some screenshots, actually preferably VIDEO where it shows these things happening.

Doing missions is far better xp at this level than PiVPi - I am however all for the removal of XP and Gold from PiVPi, however. Most of these tribunal posts are in fact just you attacking FTS. Which in itself I would consider abuse. You enter our missions and ram us, sink ships we're trying to cap and all around just attempt to seemingly go out of your way to ruin our experience in game. No, most of us havn't been here long but when your name is well known throughout our teamspeak for jumping in on our battles and attacking greens it says something. Yet, we're not posting on the Tribunal every two seconds with loose accusations and attacks towards you, because, that's low and it takes time away from REAL issues that need to be addressed in this game other than your private crusade against the FTS Community. We play games, many of us for many years. We're good at finding the most efficient ways to level and are VERY STRICT about abusing any mechanics seen as exploiting. We report ANYTHING that we even consider to be slightly broken. As for the issues you seem to have with us as a community, we welcome you to come chat with us productively on our teamspeak about your issues with us. As these blanket accusations from members of your Society are getting tiresome.

From what I see, they were attacking RedBeard who targetted them, but he escaped. Don't see how that's damage farming. - The two shooting at each other are both green, they would lose xp not gain any. ~ The only mention of damage farming seems to be coming from you.

Stirge isn't in FTS... Thanks thou! As for open world battles, there are plenty of times Kuthara and his ..group have sunk ships we've been trying to cap, I feel no sympathy if it happens in return. I often don't even read chat.

The band of Merry Men coming to a sea near you..

Given the current almost equal speed of ships and not having any advantage to sailing a frigate vs 1st rates/2nd rates and stern camping. Excluding pirates from crafting would be rediculous as long as the 1st rates continue to have their current speed and manuverability

The raiding feature in .. similar games worked very well. I also enjoyed the 3 day cooldown before a port could be assaulted again. The current 2 hour window is .. silly given the huge demographic this game currently caters to. Mainly NA/EU

I've yet to see this happen - And why penalize me for fulfilling a contract and hunting down another pirate, my loyalty is to my person band not the nation as a whole, that's what makes us pirates..

The "historical accuracy" posts in many of these posts made by Nationals sailing around in a fleet full of rates is humorous.
