What happens to captured ships if "Send to outpost" is removed?
You could all ways put a prize crew on it and add it to your fleet and take it back to port with your main ship.
-
You answer it yourself - you are not a nation. At best the Brotherhood of the Coast was a lose connection of captains allied to one another. You shouldn't be more and if you're looking for diplomacy or lineship actions you are in the wrong 'group' of this game. Pirates raid on their own with little regard to one another at ebst assemblying 5 ships or so. This is not a nerf it just fixes a mistake made long ago. I welcome you into any nation you choose to join Otto but pirates are simply not a nation.
To me that Brotherhood is more like how clans should be. We might not all get along and might even war between clans, but your brother/sister within the clan you know have your back. Never trust any others though and defently never trust a National. I wish they did work the Pirate vs Pirate system better so it can be used and not abused. There is an issue with the Pirates being ran like Nationals. I was just told this morning that they should take away SOL from PIrates cause it's a tool and we should have every tool Nationals do. Uh no we shouldn't cause we are not NATIONALS. We should be the thorn in there side, some times the breaking tide of a fight when we help one side or another or neither. We should war among our selves over who gets to raid what area. We should not be capturing ports, we should be raiding them.

Do what im doing and pray they make pirates be able to be pirates and not have this nation crap on us so we can do as we please.
Pirates was made up of not only criminal types but also those who were just sick of bowing to a crown. I think pirates SHOULD be that option before release and i hope it is so.
Actually many Pirates where actually Privateers for one country but any one he had permission to attacked would call him a Pirate.
To be honest I don't like the fact we have Pirates running around in mostly heavy frigates and SOL's all the times. Those ships if even used should be for PB"s and only special ones. That is why I don't think Pirates should be able to make them, but they can capture them though, but if they do than it's like a RED HOT HUNT KILL ON SIGHT BY ALL to be in one. Keep them to the frigates and light ships like they where normally in history. Though since they don't have SOL's give them more ships like the Pirate Frigate that has some twisted stats....more crew, cargo, or guns at the cost of other stats.
Let them raid a port and those that where involved get a pay out of econ items that port would of made in said time. Like 3 days of port production that the Nats can't use cause it was raided (give it time to rebuild it self pretty much). THey don't have ports of there own (except a few that are Pirate only ports) and they can use all Freetown unless they are smuggling. In these free towns are the only place they can do econ buildings in. They will be spread out more so they will need to depend on the raids and hitting traders more than actually producing the goods.
Allow clans to align with Nations if they wish so that if say you have Clan A and they are under pay from the British, but Clan B is helping the US and US and British is a war. Well the pirates can join that nation they are helping but not the other,and they can fight each other too while in those battles, but they only get xp for helping not just Pirate VS Pirate battles. This will keep them from uniting into one big nation and will keep them fractured. Well for the most part and those Nations will prob have to have a way to pay them for there service or face having them turn on them.
This game really needs to be more keyed around the mid ship levels for PVP and most battles, not who every can bring the biggest ships and the most of them wins. This is prob why shallow water ports battles tend to be more popular with the masses cause even low level players can get involved.

That screwball thinks that 38 UNKN's went Pirate when only 11 did LOLOLOL.
If we had 38 make the switch and were active we'd be larger than BLACK.
Keep making stuff up Yanky, it's doing wonders for whats left of your reputation and credibility HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Actually it was only 9, two of our current 11 was brought in after switching to the Pirate Nation. We had like 42 when we took the change. Only half of those where really active at the time we switched as we had about 20 players with average of 10-15 on during prime times. So we lost/left about 10 players in US and I haven't even seen any of them show up, but I know they have joined a few of the clans still around.
So yah not every one of took the change and we respected those that stayed and have not bad mouthed or even shamed them like the rest of the US has done to us in Global.

Question, could Pirates still be able to join a port battle to make up numbers for a small nation? To assist them like mercenaries?
I'm hoping for something this so that clans can work for diffrent nations if they like. This will maybe cause some inner Pirate wars between clans too. This way since we aren't exactly a Nation and get votes we can just be the thorn in every one side including other pirates.
How can a vote be sabotage? Please elaborate....
To be honest even if folks have 2-10 alts they aren't going to make a big difference in the number of votes unless a lot of players with the same amount of alts all go one way. Though if they do that than you remove those alts I bet you the results for the votes would still be about the same.

If ports are going to be reset and changed shouldn't we get a heads up to pull our econs out of ports and such? Or is there going to be a redeem for all your stuff in ports that will change and you no longer own after the patch?

This is a topic for only the pirates nation as it holds no water to other nations
i have seen a rise in pirate on pirate action most wait for there intended target to leave the sanctuary of there home port of Mortimer as a suggestion to the devs perhaps it should be made so pirates must ether choose yes or no to battling each other as its clear there is a problem.
and for a topic off the chart have any of you been chat banned for bad language and yet it was unjust i say there should be the freedom of speech as children now a days see worse on tv i remember being in Walmart and to my ears a child of the age of 6 was watching trailer park boys that cartoon with the stubby people and where every second words a swear. I even saw parents buying M rated games for children of that age so you tell me if we should have a chat ban system.
this is Captain Pickle of the Royal British Navy and the Freedom Corp.
saying bubye
Not every one talks like a crusty old sailor. I do because I'm a former Sailor that has prob more time at sea than most of you every dream of. Just a Crusty old Shellback. Though I do not speak that way around my parents or even kids. Some of us (not myself) don't want to hear that type of language in game. This is currently an all age game so if your using foul language or insulting/attacks on folks than enjoy your chat ban.

Pirates are a broken nation because you can push that attack button on any friendly ship in your nation and BOOM! your a pirate with no repercussion. So, over time, the pirate nation will get larger and larger until the entire server is swarmed with pirates. Why is this so hard for you to understand? I am sure British, danish, french, and Spanish players have jumped ship on the pirate bandwagon at some point. PVP1 had the right idea with all nations attacking the pirates because they should not really be considered a nation. Also, You should lose everything, your ports, your resources, and your ships when you go pirate. Then people will think twice before jumping ship. It needs to be made very painful for players to switch nations so it does not happen often.
No, the reason why people are jumping over to the pirate nation is because everyone wants to be a winner and no one wants to be a loser. People jumped ship to pirates because we were losing and then complaining about it in chat and blaming other people. Your post is just a "feel good" justification for your actions if you left your nation to go pirate. You pirates are all just a bunch of scrubs made up of cowards that jumped ship when things got tough. Maybe my clan and I should all go pirate and swell the ranks until there is no one left but pirates. Then we can all feel good and tell ourselves, "well they were mean to us and said mean things." That will create a really healthy and balanced game now wouldn't it?
As it stands now, the ranks of the pirates are swarming with old US players because they got but-hurt when they lost a battle or 2. If you were once a US player and jumped ship to go pirate, I have little to no respect for you. Really shows the character of many of the people in this game. You can keep all the cowards.
Hopefully the US nation can build a player-base of loyal players that wont coward out to the pirates when things get tough. Eventually, when we come back strong, the true colors of the pirate player base will start to show, except they will be stuck as a pirate unless then want to lose their stuff to go back to a nation.
We where not loosing on the US side when my Clan switched. In Fact we had as a clan by our self taken a very close pirate port from them without any help from any other clans or US players. In fact most of the Bahama defence that keep ports in US hands was cause of our clan showing up. It wasn't until after we left and started to help the underman, but more organized Pirates that they keep taking ports from ya'll. AGAIN WE SWITCED cause of how TOXIC the older US players and some of the newer ones trying to prove something was to other players. You will never win when you keep the do it my way or the high way attitude that many of the US players have. You lost your best players cause of how much you treated them like crap not cause you where loosing. There are still a lot of great players on the US side and they will prob get burned out sooner or later. They are the guys that are still showing up at Port Battles and trying. If you guys get the stick out of your arse and stop thinking of just yourself and think of your Nation as a whole.....you would easly stop loosing so many ports and will be able to stand as the strong powerfull Nation you should be with the number of players you have compared to any other Nation.

Big words from a pathetic turncoat! -- oh yeah -- there is your big advantage... train up USA,. then turncoat like AN, UNKN, JUL .. wow... that takes ..ummm "skill" --- NOT!
You all just don't get it. THE US gave up long ago -- no sense in battling every freaking nation .. oh and look .. I think the PIRATES heads are so far up their arses, they lost the ability to count ports accurately.. who has more now? Don't forget to count the ones WAY down south .. ya bunch of hypocrits! PVP2 aint never been fun for me -- too much crap (back-biting/pooh-talking/cheaters) and folks in the capital backyard. Too many dual account user/abusers. Too many turncoats who couldn't handle being US so they joined the enemy (or the more winning side, cause they cant handle losses). Bet you couldn't handle a real fire fight, precious.
I Don't like traitors.
Funny cause I leveled up on PvP1 EU server and than switched over to the US one when the population got decent. I only made two ranks while playing on PvP2 US. Since I have made one rank while a Pirate. So most of those ranks I didn't even make on PvP2 but I made on PvP1. I left that server cause of how they US treated new players over there. Than it started to be the same on the PvP1 server. This right here and the crap I get in global chat since is why I left. Cause ya'll are toxic to other players. To be exact when we switched the port turn around was about the same from US and Pirates. The steam roll didn't start until weeks after we switched. Even now we still show up with less players at Port Battles than the US brings and we still beat them. That is cause we don't show up in basic unmodded ships and we actually all get into one team speak and organize our attacks. Hell we don't even get with Spain or GB as they are just doing there own thing. Every one is just sick of the US holding onto almost over half the ports in game when they can't even keep them. This is being shown by how easily they are being taken by one of the biggest nations in game. Than when you just roll over and let us take them shows how you never had the power or control to keep them. You steam rolled other weaker nations to get those ports and it's time you get them taken from you and earn them properly.
Fine if you don't like traitors than keep it in game. You do remember this is a game after all. I do play a National on PvP2 (not US any more and I deleted my char and started all new with him instead of porting things over from one nation to another).
awww, pudding .. your wittle feelwins hurt?... sorry -- don't care! and I am FAR from elitist. Angery?..I think you meant "angry" .. nope not at all! But you keep playing in your sandbox, I am sure your momma will be by to check that foul odor eminating from you!!
It aint rocket science m-d, when you have 60+ players (3+ clans defect to another nation, in less than 4 weeks) .. you get an OP imbalance. I don't pretend to be in charge. I am fed up (yes) with the continual beratement of the US. Evidently the US is not allowed to defend itself. So if that is what you feel is right.. let me stand to correct you - plebe!
This game is a doctrine of Manipulation -- the Pirate faction has managed that well. Declared the US as OP -- aligned themselves with other nations - to get EVERYONE against the US, and thus are conducting a complete wipe of said US nation, all in the name of "fun and due process". Irregardless that (if you really really think about it) -- the US is not comprised of the same players it had; when you and everyone else are blathering about it being OP, arrogant and oppressive. Did you ever think there are new players? nope.. just kill anything that's US. So'k ... ya wont be killing anything of mine. again .. I will just wait until your next diaper change... and y'all will find another nut to complain about -- maybe the Brits. Seeing as one of your compadres regarded the other day as "them having too much control" near Mortimer.
Weak people leave because the going gets tough. Immature people cheat. Pathetic LOSERS are ones who OP one side, and think its fun and fair for all. So take
1) that, 2) the salty end of a marital device - and 3) shove it where it fits most uncomfortably! Bada -bing!
60+ players? When have the Pirates been able to field a full 25 players for PB's. The US has many times in the past and still lost against over 5-10 more ships in a battle than the Pirates have. The problem is you bring basic un-modded ships and than have no organization. I know this cause I had been to many of those PB's we lost when we had way more numbers than the Pirates. We weren't loosing a ton of ports when my clan left. Though ya'll did start to loose them afterwards. We left a lot of players behind in our clan when we switched, but that didn't change much cause those that stayed where the guys that did't really show up for PB's any way. We wanted more PvP and port battles that was full of team work and that is what we got. SO now you just got rolled by about the same average 20-30 guys that get on every night and group together to win things. Something you can't even get US players to do any more. We are seeing still the same guys showing up at PB's on the US side and sadly they are the new players not the old cranky elitist that should be showing up every PB"s. Hell the other night I was tempted to contact one of those US players and offer to build him a new ship cause he keeps showing up over and over to those battles.
Lol again the perfect example of why people flee the US to nations killing them. I know his post will probably get removed for content ( same reason hes always chat banned in game lol) but i think you should leave it up so everyone can see the real reason nobody will play or help the US.
THANKS yank for your cooperation.
Yep it's why I left the US on the PvP2 server and went to be a Privater for another nation since. It's why myself and others of my clan left cause we where getting treated like this in nation chat by other players cause we wanted to organize actual battles and work as a team. Something we are getting in the Pirate Group now and enjoying it. Hell I haven't even been going to most of the deep water battles cause I prefer the shallow water stuff and well it's like US elistest have just giving up even though they have all ways had the numebers and it's only the new players that show up and try.

Only "advantage" (and ho boy does a lot of looseness need to be used with the term) he could possibly be on about is it being less of a hassle to switch to 'Rat from National.
It is a bit more of a "pain" to switch to other nations. I recently switched from Pirate to GB. Walked away from over 10 million gold and quite a few good, modded ships. However, it was a choice I made and I'm not complaining at all. Had no trouble getting myself re-established and making easy gold again.
Other than that, it looks like typical whinging from someone who's mad they're not "on top" anymore. From the encounters I had with US players when I was 'Rat, it's easy to see why they're getting ports taken from them left and right. Clans like BLACK operate like a well oiled machine and that's why they win. Has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of "Pirate Advantage" because from a combat standpoint, there isn't one.
I left PvP1 cause of how the US was treating players back when that server split with the mirror one. So what I did with my char there was turned him rat, but I didn't do it the switch over by hitting something after moving all my stuff. I deleted the char with a lot of gold and ships and started over with the rank and craft level only. Since I have turned Rat on PvP2 I have now took that same char and deleted him. I plan to make a National that isn't US to mess with the Alliance stuff, but haven't figure out what nation yet. Yah you can just easly move your stuff or go rat to become PIrate, but you can just as easy just delete that char and start all over. Remeber this is Alpha game testing so it's not like we are going to keep all that stuff any way. I actually think it would be good to wipe a lot of players stuff some time in the future to clean out the banks and reset the economy. Maybe when the game goes to a beta stage or something or when they bring the new Pirate mechanics so folks can choise to go back to national or stay a pirate. I know when the game goes live I'm prob going to make me a National char and if I end up with a second account I'll have my Pirate. That or have them on two diffrent servers cause some times you just want a diffrent play than just being a national.
Other than that there isn't any special stuff that makes them OP.

Sounds like someone has a problem with a nation coming back, you must be a supporter of the 'Convert PvP2 into a PvE Server for the American Faction' coalition.
Well he is British after all isn't he? They have been known to tend to be Carebears on most games I been on. All ways complain when others actually do things. Oh and I do econ, but I also fight the hell lot. What do you think supports the econ of a war machine?
Players like you yanky are why so many USA clans/players left USA to join another nation/turned pirate or went to pvp1
But it's every one else fault except them?
Why not? -- thats what is has become for the British and Pirates so far! (PVP2= PVE2 for them)
There is no American Faction Coalition -- Unless you are referring to the overabundance of Pirate players, from the US.
That is funny how is it PvE when we are constantly doing Port Battles and PvP on the OW. Maybe the Brtis should of learned a long time ago and stop being a bunch of care bears.
But you guys don't have the most ports.
So what's your next excuse for why the whole server pretty much loves smashing the USA more than anyone else?
I mean how else is Spain to grow if they don't take ports? I'm surprised they haven't tried to take back part of the GOM yet, but I figure they are trying to get a good stable spot for now and not over extend them selves. Hell next we know the French might push to get back part of the GOM too. Why should they stay cluster up on a few islands way over there on one side of the map?

Since it is a PvE server, there will never be a Port Battle, but you know that already. So it is really an impossibility to try a Port Battles and tell you how that ping and lag appear.
While there is a number of individuals who cannot wrap their heads around enjoyment of the PvE server, there is a fairly large group of PVE players who do enjoy the PvE server. A poor ping is an issue no matter how and where you play.
Actually if you do any big fleets with AI you can get some pretty big lag. I use to play on PvP1 EU server until the split and I moved to PvP2 cause the population went up and I'm a US player. When I use to be on the EU server you could feel the issues when you did any big fleets not just PvP battles. So yes you can get issues with the PvE server being in EU and not the US any more.
Oh and with the new maps they been showing there will be a merger of the two servers with both PvP and PvE on one server so yes it makes a big diffrence when you get forced to play on a server across the world. Unless they only Merge PvP1 and PvE and than just add the PvE zones for PvP2 for people to pick which they want to play on the EU or the US server. Which wouldn't be a bad thing. They still get the PvE zone of the better server and the option to PvP if they so choose or just stay in there safe zone.
-
The reason you're taking ports is because we chose to let you do that. Thanks for showing just how unbalanced the pirate mechanic is. This could be a great game, but until they take the advantages away from the pirates, it's broken. It's just too easy for the 13yr olds to go pirate.
What exactly is that advantage? I have yet to hear what they have and why they are OP other than they beat you and your letting us have it. Maybe it's more your tired of getting beat even when you have the odds you still loose and run away.

Many of the perspectives of USA Nation seem to be unfavorably biased on the forums and if you've read this far you probably realized this already. Been playing this game for a while now and I can tell you that I've never seen more toxicity than with this NEW wave of pirate players who seemed to be portrayed on the forums as saviors of spain, the best mannered people, the most honorable engagers or just overall better people than USA players. Propoganda run rampant...typical pirate tactics effective on those seeking a simple explanation.
Toxic? Have you seen the crap the US players say to us that left? Those are some of the same crap we heard in US chat when we where still US players. It's the US guys that are toxic. I don't see any of us Pirates on here crying about being OP and such. Oh wait look who made some of those threads? Pretty much the same folks being rude in global too.
-
And back on topic, the extra ping on the PVE server does not appear to have caused me any major issues. The FPS remains about the same.
That cause your prob only doing missions at most? Try a Port battle with 25 vs 25 players and tell me how that ping and lag seems.
-
Location please?
Oh and date and time.
I think I figured it out, them running away all the time is just them doing this race?

I like how the "Officer" works as a mechanic of specialization instead of being an asset.
It makes deciding if you want to focus more on Maritime Trading or Naval Architect or War Navy Captain.
Maybe in the future or if we could have more than one char in the same nation, but right now a lot of the crafters are also some of the most PvP active guys too.
-
It's players that joined up while we were in pvp1. Which has been a few months. So they are not new to the game. They just have nothing on pvp2 and we'd have to get them up and going again. Not sure how things will pan out following War & Peace. Going back to pvp2 isn't impossible. For myself, I would prefer both servers stay. I play pirate on pvp1. But to fully test out W&P I like having the option to play NAT on pvp2.
That kinda brings up something if they do a merger than how will they handle folks with two different nations? I was US on both servers but made my PvP1 go Rat to test it out. Well since than my PvP2 char has gone Pirate. Since I deleted all my stuff on PvP1 I'm just going to make him a National again. Just haven't picked which nation and I don't think it will be US as I really didn't like the way the US players acted over there on PvP1 to new players. So any one want a National player from the US that only speaks English than let me know and I'll change him back to National. Just going to be broke with a cutter is all. Which really isn't that bad cause folks keep forgeting this is an Alpha and they can wipe out stuff at any time. They only promise we will keep our ranks and levels only.
I'm really hope do port resets for the new content, but it would be nice if they give us a few days heads up to move our stuff around if need be. Good thing most of my stuff is done in free ports.
-
Don't put all US players in the same boat. I was never part of the US zerg and I did speak out against taking Spain down to one port. Sail on mates!
There are actually a lot of US players I hate leaving cause of switching to the Black Flag. Though I enjoy battles with them and will tip my hat with respect when I see them. It's a mutual respect thing. Now there are other players I'll sink every dang time i see them without a heart beat.
Where has freaking ELMO been any way?
Ok so US had what 150 ports?
They piss the whole server off and you wonder why everyone has ganged up on you guys?
As of current state you have lost 10 and still counting.
So at this rate you have lost what 40-50 in 3-4 days?
Not bad pvp I say.
I'm kinda wondering what the ship lost count has been. I have lost only a mortar brig to a board and my stupid first attempt of fireship but other than that I have lost not ships to the US.
-
Well ya'll do have like 3 times more parts than any one else has or should I say had. Not to mention this is what happens when you piss every one else off and all the Nations decide to say we are going to crush you....you know like you have done to them.
US VS Pirate, GB, and Spain. Hell even France grabbed a flag last night....though they have no ports new by.
I was expecting Holland and Danish to grab some too. You know when your in trouble if the Swedes end up jumping onto this action.
OH AND ALLIANCE COMES OUT NEXT WEEK I THINK SO STOP YOUR CRYING. They prob going to reset ports any way when that comes out. You still got all that GOM to live in if you wish.

I can see how it won't be to bad as PvE your not doing PB"s and PvP where you need the good ping connection. When I played on PvP1 you could tell the bad ping rate big time in big battles. My nomarl ping is about 159 with abour 59 on the US servers. That is a big jump and it's why many of us don't want to merge PvP1 and 2 cause of the ping rate. I really don't get why they keep supproting the PvE server as it's not really bringing much to the game and you honestly can go weeks without getting hit in the OW if you just sale smartly. Hell I only been able to not escape once when I been tagged and didn't want to stay and fight cause I was in a loaded trader. This prob why we been seeing a lot of PvE guys showing up wanting to join the PvP 2 server. The bad ping rate after the move.
-
Just NO. Would like to see less black flag nationals not more.
And after playing with them in the US Nation we don't want them in the Pirates either.
-
One of the first big things we have to explain to new players so I think this is a great thing.

Did you even think of any AI fleets/ships around when you tagged him? I just hit a Trader Snow cause I was board and wanted to test out a new ship build. I got into battle and there was a Navy Brig in the battle too cause he was close by. Not every battle that has AI is cause of a player fleet. The exact same is if that other ship was a player you didn't see. Now you aren't just playing against one player and AI you are now fighting two players. What is the diffrence? To me I would prefer to fight the one player and an AI than two players cause the AI tends to not be the smartest ship on the sea with it's actions.
We do care. We use LVG's and Indiman all the time to haul cargo from one area to another. Should of seen our fleets the night we switched from US to Pirates, some one could of been a very happy camper, but we ran with others as escorts until we got out in the BLUE WATERS. Just how do you think we get that "INTERNAL" system of provisions?
They should. What is the difference from you hitting one ship and two AI's or hitting three players? Nothing other than what controls that ship. You don't want to hit something with a high BR that you can't fight than don't hit it and pick a more easy target.
Pirates waited for a prime easy target to take. They didn't rush after every escorted ship. So if you see a Trader with two escorts (AI or Player) will you hit him cause you are out matched or will you wait for the solo player and easy target to come along. Sounds like you don't want to wait and just want the easy target. You need to stop thinking of just the player but the ships as a whole no mater if they are run by player or AI. Wait for a more easy target or get some friends to help you if your out number. There is nothing stopping you from using AI or even getting...>GASP< other players to help you.
