Lord Van Pelt

After being granted Royal pardon & acceptance into his Majesty's ranks.. Lord Van Pelt reporting for active duty...

@Diemos good idea... why not also introduce the option for AI transport fleets as well as player regular ships to offer a surrender tribute in exchange for ceasefire? So when you are sailing for example, and get attacked.. then instead of pressing on surrender button in which lose, or wait till you sink/get boarded.. you have the option to offer tribute to attacker and the attacker can accept or decline and continue their attack!

Yes this is what I thought about.. while it may be possible that the mechanic can be implemented same as AI fleets at this present moment.. but then when lot of traders/transporters get busted they will complain to admins that it is a bad idea and they keep getting attacked and losing their transported ships etc. etc. But in general, it's the player's own responbility if he/she wish to take the risk of such a transport.. It will relieve a lot of players I think.. the ones who want to transport ship to another outpost..

Would be nice to see the transfer of player's ships from outpost to outpost but in a more interesting way... The transported ship would automatically sail in open world and can be visibile to all players.. the duration it takes depends on distance from the starting location to final destination; and those transported ships are able to be attacked by any playing spotting them... so it is a risk a player has to take. This mechanic can also be applied for trade ships where the player can load the ship up and send it to another outpost... whereas it can make more lucrative opportunities for foreign privateers. Would be nice also to select the mode of open world sailing; whether the player requests the ship arrive ASAP by travelling through islands and avoiding deadwinds, or sailing on open ocean and minimal effort to avoid dead winds... progress of ship transport would be seen on colony or the outpost where the ship was sent from.

Is there a way for ships sailing on open seas to automatically keep sailing if they get attacked? Would be nice since a lot of people go afk during long voyage and once attacked.. their sails are down instead of up as it were on open world.

Just got kicked out 4 seconds before i leave battle! If I lose durability on my new ship i'm gonna be pissed

Yea lot of ppl had that hapen to them last night.. many lost ships.. others lost durability

Yes sir.. the day they do the server wipes is the day my heart'll be broken.. but nevertheless.. mournings shouldn't last more than 3 days Until then, fair winds to you captains and may we meet on PVP1 sometime soon...

Yes you're right but I managed to amass a vast wealth and it would be a shame to just delete all the hours i spent trading Currently on PVP2.. unless you can find me someone who has interest in joining this server and exchange his gold on PVP1 for mine on PVP2.. would be a fair exchange I suppose!

ah I see.. well I was just checking in.. I joined Dutch nation a few weeks ago.. but ain't happy with this nation so most likely gonna convert to piratehood to check out a new atmosphere.. Too bad you can't change allegiance to British or other nations.. would be nice to serve under his majesty's wings again

Same St Georges from POTBS? I was Anasitos if any of ya'll remember me.. Fitzwilliam in here also?

So at least 50 by end of February
