[Pirate Mechanics Vote]

I think they should be able to capture and raid, but make it much harder to hold control over ports as they don't have a formal military to use in protection. When it comes to ships, They shouldnt have mainstream large ships but have unique smaller ships with extra guns and men similar to the privateer.

[How often can you redeem the Yacht?]

Fluffy, please log in as your other character and destroy the yacht there.  It should show up a little while later as a redeemable on your new character if I understand raskolnikoff correctly.

 

I have one now but when I did have the problem I had deleted my old character to use the same name when switching from neutral to Britain, the redeem doesn't carry over if you do this and I had to wait almost the full 2 days, Thought you might like to be made aware

[Which nation will you be picking post wipe?]

Well, you know what happened in 1797. We´d certainly welcome a venetian capitaine in the service of the french navy

Yes you burned down a large chunk of the Arsenale including almost all of the records and naval architecture, Looted anything of any value over the few years of French reign, then eventually used the city as a bargaining chip for peace with Austria. I think I will stick with the British thanks, they know how to best serve the French navy. You know, as a cold chunky soup for the fishes to feast on!

[Which nation will you be picking post wipe?]

Depends if they release any of their future plan nations with the next update, ideally I would like to play Venice but if not I will likely stick to Britain.

[How many hours a day do you play/plan on playing?]

I think really I think we would need to know more about what is finished behind the scenes to understand whether its ready for release or not. From what I understand there is a lot we don't have access to for now.

[Little things you'd like to see]

Guns we not sure yet. You can change gun types on each deck and will be able to pick the number of guns on it. But inside that deck they will need to be similar (technology and ui limitations).

 

Naval Powers

here is a sneak peek into our national plans - these are not all of them - but well keep it for future posts.

 

In addition to flags we will have an extensive system of authentic banners and ensigns that can show many things to your friends or enemies.

some examples (all are hand drawn by artists)

 

Gosh we need to update the website!

How future are these future plans and when will these be playable? I am actually the most excited I have been in a while about the chance to play Venice! Please say they will be about after the next hard wipe? Also Will the 6 Tails of the Venetian flag fly properly and independently of each other like they should?

[Venetian/Italian Ship Collection (With Plans)]

You might never guess from my picture, but I would be very happy to have a Venetian faction in the game

[Little things you'd like to see]

If you don't have a warehouse/outpost and you have space in the hold, could everything you buy automatically be put in the hold until its full?

[Little things you'd like to see]

I'd like to see a vague map blip of where you are on the map, one that grows and shrinks the closer and further away from towns and landmarks. for example if you are in the middle of the Caribbean sea then it would be much larger than actually showing where you are if you were right next to a town. I'd also like to see it grow with longer time spent at sea.

[How often can you redeem the Yacht?]

Thank you. I changed character so I lost it, I miss it now.

[Age of Sail Documentaries]

There was a recent rerun on the BBC for a series that contains some interesting insight into historic sailing ships (and a landing craft) I found it a good watch

[How often can you redeem the Yacht?]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I was just curious how many times and how often you can redeem the yacht. Thank you in advance.

[HMS Victory (1744)]

While it is a lovely ship, I don't think it should be in the game because people might be unclear which is which and cause problems.

[Age of Sail Replica Ships.]

HMS Phoenix, pictured in Whitby. There is also the Mathew replica living in Bristol, although slightly out of the time frame, the boat that discovered North America.

[Defection]

I'd be happy just to see defection with a monthly block, would be good to see pirating pardons too.

[Little things you'd like to see]

I don't know if it counts as little but I would like to see more nations included, Venice, Genoa, Ottomans, Austria, Prussia and portugal for example.
