  1. In game veteran status really doesn't mean anything cause all I have to do is make a new alt and than farm the crap out of newbs as a newb. I have 6 chars and all have diffrent levels of online time from a few thousand hours to my main char I don't even play on any more which has over 9K hours. Why would I want folks to know a char I changed names and nations is some one with a billion hours? The other thing is I been on games folks made new chars just to make it look like they where newbs to farm others. On a few of these I actually keep a char in Newbie area to help new players against these type of players. So you always have toxic folks that will abuse it. Just knowing my own hours on my chars I would say maybe not in the high range. I would more call veterans by time they bene playing the game than hours actualling game, but than again we have the Yatch (for sea trials) and pandora (for EA) players. What would we give vets? Though I could be made happy with a DLC trade ship/refit winkwink..lol
  2. Ship knowledge needs to stay with your ship and fleet no matter if you switch them. So if you switch you have what ever knowledge you set on that ship in port. I suggested before that Pirates should be treated as Enemy to all and that would solve this and no need to have outlaw battles. Just make it so that green on green only effect same nation players. Other wise all other nations is far game no matter what side they are on. I never understood why we couldn't keep out flags. Than again we still have open cannon ports in OW...never understood why they couldn't just make the OW models with the gun ports shut.
  3. Also @admin any patch notes for todays update? Or more I should say this mornings? That wasn't just some little hot patch by the size of it.
  4. What does this have to do with the issue on hand other than prove that your nothing but an arrogant arse man? I don't need to do a dick measuring contest to prove who's the better game player. It has nothing to do with this tribunal. I'll repeat this as you seem to be slow about the rules of tribunal: You can only reply to tribunal threads if you are: -The reported -The reporter -Someone with additional proof and/or information. As some one with additional information I did post so stop bickering like a kid. It is your job to prove some one did it intentionally. Just posting a screen shot with damage doesn't really prove that you where being shot at intentionally. Specially when your actions where causing you to get shot either by being close or through shots aimed at others. Your screen shot doesn't tell about the first time you failed to pit Lion shaft where you where on his side partly as that was when I notice you being hit by the chain shot. Just look at the battle timer, we had been in battle almost 20 mins already. But we aren't going to tribunal every time your just being a dick player man. Hell now I wished I had recorded that battle cause it would let either side know what they did wrong, but I don't see a need to record time I play.
  5. Cause RVR is not solo play, other games have group/clan actions too. If you want RvR and that stuff get a friends and do it. Aren't you on PvE any ways? If so that brings up something else, it would be nice if ya'll had a way to flip ports instead of waiting for a raid and it to go neutral, but only for AI owned poirts. The issue with your solo one man thing is that can be used big time and abused by alts and folks pissed off at a nation. No one man can or should hold a port they can't defend themselves. So if you can't flip a port, beat the AI and capture the circles yourself than you don't deserve the team/group play it's made for. Not saying it can't be done as I flipped ports and won port battles with two players before (mama duck and some one else cap circles). A solution's for PvE server is to have them be more aggressive on the raids of AI owned ports so they turn neutral. The problems is ya'll have no PvP/RvR to let ports exchange hands so that port will be forever in a players hands no matter what. Honestly PvE needs map resets every quarter or year or something (not resources just port owners) or it's going to get stale and no one will be able to own any ports that players stopped playing owned and such. A solution would make inactive clans loose a port after no clan members log on (prefer Officer or diplomates/creater) a set time it reverts to neutral. Also there should be a way for a Nation to hand off ports to other clans take a port from a dead/inactive or bad clan(alts/spy/traitors switching nation) on both servers.
  6. Where you in sea trials and pod by PayPal before steam EA release? That how you get the yatch DLC. I miss it by a day cause I was down in Brazil working and got back the day after and it went to steam. though I still think pandora should not be a dlc folks can buy. It should be a special ship for EA testers only.
  7. What the br of the LGV and refit? That could be how folks can avoid them, but they where traditional troop transports more than merchantmen.
  8. l was part of that group I can post if I want to in defense of the group. This isn't your sole trial that only you get to post in. Some of those in that group don't speak English as there native language and was asked to post and explain the events since I was in that battle too. As per Tribunal rules we are able to prevent evidence to prove the actions correct or wrong. Just as you have the right to prevent evidence. My evidence is that your reckless actions are what caused you to get shot and any green on green action to have happen in that battle. Maybe next time stop being so steal happy greedy and you might not get accidentally shot. You where able to still board the ship and capture it. My evidence that you than scuttle the next battle also shows you have unsportsman conduct as you where trying to not let any one else get the ship. Which could be taken you where helping Lionshaft prevent us from capturing the ship or that you where just being a dick. Which from my own opinion you where just being a dick as I know you don't have any love for Lionshaft. Others might take it the other way around though. Helping the Enemy by avoiding blocks and capture a ship to prevent others from getting it is also a tribunal offense. Maybe that is what you where doing? Maybe not, but hay we don't know what goes through that head of yours, only the evidence can prove that. This is not the House Impeachment trials where only one side gets to prevent their witness. By the way you posting this makes me think you don't want both sides told cause it can make your case less worthy, maybe not?
  9. With this I was looking at the loot tables last night trying to figure out where you can get those BP's and it's only from the wooden chest. There needs to be other ways too. Maybe make them rare on other loot tables? I think some of the loot tables need to be locked at too. I shouldn't be gettting basic mods in elite battles and against SOL's, those should be for low tier ships/battles. I open up several gold chest this week and gotten nothing but trash mods in all but one and that was cause it had a permit and one good book to use to make a stronger elite mod. The other thing is why am I getting 2 cannons from an ELITE Rattle Snake? The cannons loot should match the ships cannons or one deck. They seem to come in groups of 2, 4, 6, 10 which wouldn't ever fit on a ships decks unless you kill a dozen ships to maybe get the same type (which you never get the same type). Elite cannons drop should be added to other loot tables too. As above some loot should not be on Peace serve. The other day I got a Loki mod which doesn't even work on Peace Server along with the Log book shouldn't be on it's loot table. There was something else that I couldn't think of now that I notice with the short time I was over there checking things out.
  10. Been saying this for ever, could of done it with the LGV Refit and still have random notes in the chest also. Though I would like to see a fully dedicated Trade Ship DLC, not just a Refit of fighting merchant man. There is currently 6 DLC ships, how is that filling up all your dock space? Maybe clean out some of the ships your not using or the 20 trade ships you use for trade runs? I mean maxed out it's something like what 30 something slots or more?
  11. I would like to see your video of proof? Taking one screen shot doesn't tell the whole battle. Hell even Seagasm has Sail Damage, but that was prob from Lionshaft, you where trying to pit him and you where rubbing up against him while we where chaining him. As I stated I even made a comment in TS about it going through and hitting you. Again it's not against the rules for being a dick. Just like it wasn't against the rules for you to scuttle his ship, but it sure seems funny that you rush to capture it from us when we had every thing under control and than you scuttle it so we can't capture it? Could been helping Lionshaft keep it out of our hands for all we know, or you could just been a dick like you normally are in fights. Maybe next time don't rush and try to kill steal and you won't get hit. No one called out shoot your sales. We did make comments about you pushing folks out of the way and blocking shots when we had every thing under control without your help (remember he joined after every one did and was not invited or part of the group.) By the way unsportsmanlike conduct is against the rules along with blocking shots, but we aren't sore looser that have to run and report things. You got your kill and than lost it, live with it man. I'm only stating the events of the battle as there will be some friendly damage in the logs....as I even admitted I did some to you when I couldn't turn fast enough to not hit both your ships. You fast pit move to rage board wasn't planned and we had to adjust when you did it. Just like you rushing a target we where all chaining and getting hit because of it.
  12. I think it's been suggested before @admin why doesn't report have a option to say why your reporting them? Many other games has this: Bad Language, Bad name, Aimbot, SPY, etc etc....cause as said above there might be a name or saying that to one culture means nothing, but to another it might be a very very very bad term or saying.
  13. @Ink Maybe Cheeky should tell you some detail of that battle. First it was the second time Dutch players had tagged Lionshaft (El Taco portbattle had just ended). 5 Dutch players had all ready joined the battle before he joined. I know cause I was asked to wait until the last two guys got into the join circle to make sure he didn't tag them. Once inside we made it very clear Lionshaft was to be captured as we wanted his boat. The whole battle Cheeking was blurting about give it to him and such. Just being his annoying self. Well he was in the very back so he had to make it up to the front. I admit he had a very fast boat (Christian as I had one too which was fairly slow as I fall back). While he was making his way to the front he pushed his nose into Chester Cheeta's (WO CLAN) ship. There should be sign of green on green here. Than he started to block our shots as he passed us. We where working Lionshafts sails down with chain (remember 5-6 of us). He proceded to put his nose into Lionshafts ship and push to turn it. All while we where working lionshafts sails down. Over TS I actually made a comment that some one chain was going through Lionshaft and hitting his. Once he boarded lionshaft and this point would have some more green damage I know at least myself couldn't turn fast enough we ram into him and lionshaft. I than blew past him to a stop. When the boarding was done Cheeky instantly sent Lionshafts ship away. So we escaped the battle. In team speak we talked about the dick move and said we can just tag him and take the ship since he doesn't have the crew for both ships. So when he got out of the battle we tagged him. With intention of only capture the ship unless he fights us. He stops his AI and scuttles lionshaft ship so we can't capture it. We just took his actions of him being a dick as normal in game, but now that I look back at it, it seems he might of been trying to prevent use from doing damage and capturing Lionshaft ship. Which is also against the rules blocking shots so that you can't fire upon the enemy. This seems even more so when he instantly scuttle the same ship to keep us from captureing it when he got tagged after the battle. We had a good fight last night and there was no thought of reporting him for just being a dick of a player. Maybe if he wasn't trying so hard to steal every kill than he wouldn't of gotten shot. Early battle he tried this with a 1st rate we had tagged and sunk (cause it was on fire) also while we where screening. While being a dick isn't against the rules unless you want to call it unsportsman conduct, but it does tend to get you into situations like this where you can be shot for getting in the way of others. Now I have a problem with Pirates joined Nationals Battles. All pirates should be treated as Enemy no matter what side they join. Why would I suddenly be friendly to some one that is a Pirate? Since he joined our side and was trying to steal the kill and loot/bounty (the ship we tagged and was shooting sails down of) than we should be able to fire back and stop him. No one did this cause it's normally against the rules other than when giving warning for loot stealing. Feel free to review the log and I will admit I did some damage with my ram but I couldn't stop or turn in time to avoid hitting his and Lionshafts ship.
  14. Those are amateur numbers......I prob got most beat with 9K hours on my main and 3-6K on most my alts...lol Yah that part is kinda a pain cause I had to go do something, but when I came back and redid the battle I did a better job. So good I stopped the game and restarted now that I figured something out. I beat both the Brit and US so far so will take a break until more is added or it's released. I'm hopeing they add more content after release through DLC. It was the one thing they didn't do one Ultimate General: Civil War. There is so many more battles they could add in that game even through DLC folks would of paid for to get more action. Oh and if you where going to get into Naval Action there is a Peace Server where there is no PvP that you can pretty much do your own thing and only have to worry about AI for the most part. Though the best action is on the War server cause.
  15. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to read that in your normal voice or the B-Rated Darth Vader (He has the flu/cold) knock off voice from the other night? Either way it was a good read and hope your feeling better, almost got my own cold kicked I think.
  16. I always hated this with the ELITE ships in OW too. I just struggled to beat that AI and could hardly pen/damage him and than I get the note and open it and it's a freaking Cedar/crewspace or Fir/Oak or something stupid like that. Maybe make the ELITE notes drop like other notes where you can pick the wood type and just get random shipbuilding stats added or they should all be reduce to the (S)eason woods only and not normal. I also noticed this with normal AI too when grinding, they seem to all have base stats that you have to bring in something kinda tanky to fight or you melt fast. Another note for the final exams, is the rank changes on the AI. I noticed that the higher the rank the more smarter the moves the AI do or I'm just imagine things but other clan mates noticed this too.
  17. That speed doesn't mean crap when you get your sails hit by those 6 chasers. Than if your speed crafted your prob not tanky at all so all those extra guns on the USS US not going to match up in a brawl with the Wasa and lets not even talk about the shitty turn rate and acceleration of the USS US vs the Wasa. Than your way under crew if it ends up in a boarding. All you really have is speed. I mean maybe if you make it a fail fit speed boat and your solo playing, but other wise that speed isn't going to help you in a straight up fight if it comes to brawling. That is it's only good stat compared to other 3rds. As a 4th it had speed and turn rate over the other 4th's and was still under gun. So it was more equally balanced having the highest HP's and thickness. As for the Fati, you balance it by BR not changing it's stats. Yes it's a 5th rate, but give it a high BR that is in the same area it's at now, but now that I look at the list of 5th rates it's prob best to just keep it in the 4th rate classes as the starting entry into the 4th rates. Other than it's speed, HP's and thickness it really doesn't have better stats than most of the 4th rates. Most of them still have more guns than it has. I wouldn't even say the thickness cause it has only like 1-2 more then 4th rates. It's only good stats is speed and HP's. Every thing else is beaten by other 4th rates. Which made the ship more balanced in the 4th rates as the fast chaser 4th rate. Maybe if they gave it back it's turn rate, but you know what I do when I see all carros on a ship. I keep my distance and just use my longs and mediums so that doesn't even help it and with it's shitty turn rate you can easily deflect the carros by staying over 250m's from it in combat.
  18. I'm with it going back to being a 4th rate along with others. Ships should be balance by there BR not the rate you can put them in. Keep it's stats but bring it down to 4th rate and allow it to use 5-4th rate mods. Just give it a 3rd rate like BR. This should of been done with the Indifatable as it was actually a 5th rate. We can do the same with the other 4th rates. You removed half the 4th rates when you moved the two ship to 3rd rate and the 4th/5th rates where the working horse of navies back than. I use to love the Connie but haven't sailed on in ages cause it lost all it's good stats (speed and turn rate) than got moved to 3rd. Try to give the USS US a chance after the wipe cause I can't seem to get any permits from chest for the life of me (have to buy Reno permits as it's my second fav ship). I just couldn't stand the USS US....why would I use it when I can just use a Wasa instead?
  19. I did a bunch of the POI on the British, but for the US I could hardly do any of them cause you just don't make enough money even if you cap every ship. Which is what I did last play through and I didn't have the money/crew to run a bunch of extra ships. British I had no issue as you get tons of money and support. Than again I did the British on easy and the US on normal. That kinda makes me wonder something. Back in UG: Civil War Easy actually caused games to be harder cause AI would do some stupid stuff (like charge all the time) which could actually cost you a lot of losses. When I played I found it was better to do normal on South than it was to do Easy. Since your hinder on supply and man power later on. This game should for balance reason give US something since British gets so much money and support in the play through. Maybe I"ll do another play through and test out the POI a bit more on the US side.
  20. What letter are you speaking of? If it's the one that gives you the Wounded mission than I ok that one before I did any battles and it was added. Other wise I never got a second letter and I just finished the US Campaign right now and after all missions was done I click on end chapter and it said in development and sent me to main menu. Maybe it's when you open the letter and ok?
  21. Also make sure your logging into the right server. IF you played on PvE than you will still have char and rank as nothing was wiped there other than ships and materials. If you played on PvP 2 GLOBAL it was merge with PvP EU a long time ago and you didn't log in and redeem your stuff depending how long ago it was you took you break. Other wise like @Ink state the game was released and they did a wipe. You can get Lt Com and Master Com ranks back by doing the tutorial and doing the two last exams along with some goodies for each one.
  22. They mention DLC's, really hated they didn't do any for the UG: Civil War, cause there are so many more battles they can do with that game. Hopefully they do it with this one and add more expansions to the game from what is planed at release.
  23. How the hell are you getting a 5th rate for that mission? I traded every thing in to get the best ship in the Admiralty and it was a 6th rate sloop of war. Though I did capture a 5th rate, I think I get every time I do that mission no matter what I bring the 5th rate (HMS Unity), a 6th Rate porcupine and a 7th rate sloop. I done it three times and got the same ships. Last time I was able to capture all three with my 6th rate Sloop of War and a bit of help from the Walpole (it took out the 7th rate for me). I played on both easy and normal and seem to get the same ships on that mission. To be honest the GB play through seems way easy on both setting cause your being thrown money and ships. I'm struggling on the US play. I think they should be giving you more prestige to capture ships each missions if they aren't getting you the money and supplies like the British missions do.
  24. It needs to be balanced. If the US isn't going to get all the money that the Britissh Campaign gets than the US Privateer needs to get a lot more prestige to take prizes they capture or something like reduction on crew cost. It seems even on easy I'm struggling on the US (I just finished the british with a good sum of money and ships). That and I think I might have a bug in my US, second mission I did I go against two 28/30 gun ships when I'm only in a Brig with a captured sloop. Way out gun and crewed so couldn't protect the Trade ship with me.
