Conflict, as expected. Diplomatic talkings with such a weak nation are pointless.
We will purge the seas from the sick man of the Caribbean.
I'll purge my carronades up your poopdeck if you don't watch out.

I am happy to see Les Cayes under attack. Poland lost its position in Haiti (and players) after being defeated by BF and RUBLI. The only reason why they remained in Haiti is because BF/RUBLI didn't plan to annihilate Poland and Poland was/is protected as "underdog" nation by bigger brothers and "server police". Poland found its place in Panama, that's where they should settle down as nation. Haiti was always a hot PvP/RvR area with valuable ports.
Who is this that you claim is protecting us? Switzerland? Siam? I don't plan to leave my estates in Haiti. Panama is just a quiet area to vacation, but it's an area to grow old and soft, not to prosper.

And to think this all started with a little attempt to generate some fun mutual content. Oh hey brits, how is Prinzapolka doing these days?

I was in battle once and as soon as my rudder touched a bit of bottom the entire ship was stuck even when I rotated 90 degrees and could see lots of water under the entire keel. The ship was leaned over 45 degrees and everything, as if the whole keel was stuck on the bottom.

I am seeing repeated complaints of players getting their first 6th rate ship, and doing the lowest level 6th rate missions and facing 3 enemies...
It's been like that for a long time. I never do missions. Always go for Open World AI so you know what you're getting into. Find a spot where 7th Rates and lone Brigs spawn in Open World and sink them repeatedly.

That's because IMO ppl raise ranks too fast...
Rank doesn't mean anything. It's just a time sink. If there was more of an achievement system to gaining ranks many of us would be stuck in 6th Rates forever, getting clubbed by gangs of Endymions, and would quit the game due to not being able to advance to trying out the next shiny toy.

Totally support new players should have protection, but we need to limit the use of the safezone to high rank players.
Rank means nothing. A gank is a gank, regardless of rank.

There has been several different suggestions on how to make ganking unrewarding.. If ppl don't like PvP - go play on the dedicated PvE server.. I trade myself and I love the risk.. now there's no risk, lots of gold and nothing has any value..
Some LOLClown sinking someone that is completely outmatched is not PVP. I'm on the PVP server for a fun competitive battle, but they're extremely rare. People who stomp the weak and pat themselves on the back about being "PVP" stars are just worthless arsehats.
-
And why would anyone actually do real PVP when they can get PVP marks by just going around farming defenseless trade ships and low rates, or just going around in a mob sinking anything outmatched. There is basically no incentive to actually PVP.

We are centrally located. As they say, nothing more important than "location location location!"

I'm just glad they didn't land at Les Cayes

A lot of not craftable ressources for upgrades are only (regular) available in one or two port(s). This is like a basic setting of the game. There is no reason to change the rule for coper ingots or longleaf pine.
Are longleaf logs are useful now?

Hey, if they stop to be boarded why not? A pristine prize would seem desirable.

How boarding works is a big mystery area of the game, aside from the rock-paper-scissors chart. I'm not terribly excited about playing Naval Rock-Paper-Scissors in the first place.

that means we just need to vend 99 ships and keep one.
We don't got that much teak to waste.

Do upgrades stack on these? They shouldn't be stackable.

Sounds like Captain Olaf should be in charge

Well, if everyone was looking around for PvP instead of sitting in the zones, there would be more PvP but I get what you are saying...
That would still mostly result in seal-clubbing though, which should not qualify as "PVP". When they get rid of PVP marks people may feel less like sailing into dangerous areas is just giving their enemies free marks.

Lol. Yes I have. My 401k is killing it... I live in Bernie Sanders’ “home” state( although he’s really a New Yorker), and we couldn’t even afford to do universal health care here.
You're already paying for universal health care one way or another, and it isn't half as effective as hold full of rum.

If you're talking about upgrades - they're available pretty much for everyone in open harbours. It's just the matter of cash. You can earn to get most expensive upgrade - Cartagena - with two good trade-runs, something that would take you 1 hour.
People keep saying stuff like this, but silly trade profits like that aren't available to everyone. I used to have a nice trade loop on Global but to get something like 4 million it would take me something like a month of checking the markets hourly all day long to get the goods as they spawn before anyone else did, and then sailing many hours of round trips. Lots of that money went straight to buying ships, teak, upgraded shipyard, etc... All that market camping and almost-AFK sailing is why I have over 1000 hours in the game, LOL.

Mmmm, no. Nobody wants to have to haul all their stuff across the map multiple times. Aside from some polish players wanting to be polish, the attraction is a combination of a great location and not having to rub shoulders with some of the personalities that stink up the room in some of the big nations.
