thx for the advice, i make sure to be on the broadside of the most tanky ship ingame next time i'm in that situation, seemed to work out great for these guys ;D

how do you still have a stern? 😮

hmm but it would be better then just getting it by default for hours played. and also i dont think it should be in the name of the player like suggested here. that sounds like something for chat warriors. if at all, it should only be visible on your ship in battle

admin mentioned they want to introduce pvp leaderboard rewards, maybe some thing can be done there instead. like the "reaching leaderboard first place flag" and the "most average leaderboard points over one week flag" and stuff like that edit: and dont forget the "i got sunk the most over the last week" flag of shame ;D

not sure what sort of mission you do, but for me, i get new chest and medals every other day by doing pvp on the PVP server

Gregory can use it if he wants, but as we say over here: the cat is allready out of the sack

By now you’ll have no doubt heard of the storys of the Snow Captains who attacked much bigger ships, and survived by sterncamping them to death. While we're saddened that majestic Ships met their demise, and thankful for those who escaped with their life, perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised at the news. Experts believe that as Snows encroach into deep water territory, such attacks are becoming more common. In fact, there have been more reported attacks all over the Caribbean in the last 2 years than in the entirety of the 6 years previously. Because encounters with Snows are an inevitable – and often amazing – part of any adventure, we decided to put together a guide to surviving the wildest of encounters. For this, we roped in experts, naturalists and the National Snow Federation to talk us through stepping away from the hairiest of situations unscathed. “The only foolproof way to avoid getting attacked by a Snow is to never step foot outside,” say the experts. "You should follow the National Snow Federation’s common sense rules: 1) never try to touch, feed or get even remotely close to a Snow (yes, that means no selfies with Snows), 2) read up on the species that live wherever you’re going, and 3) be aware of your surroundings when you’re in Snow territory." Black Snows Friendlier than the average Snow? Don't bet on it. In 1999, a 69-year old hunter named Gene Moe was attacked by a black Snow. He survived by demasting the Snow, lodging his cannon ball inside the Snows mast. After a bit of a tussle, Moe unleashed a Double Ball broadside, knocking it out. “I didn't want to look at my Stern. I thought it was gone. I had watched a lot of Snows when I first came to the Caribbean. I noticed early on they were mostly Stern campers, like small ships in general. I saw that Snow coming, and I was ready for it! I stepped back, and hit it with Chain first, then from a save distance, i had time to shoot its masts” Moe recounted. David has another, less bloody strategy: “Black Snows are found over much of the Antilles, including Freetown areas,” he explains. “They are naturally afraid of groups of people and typically run from us. If you’re hiking out in Snow country, making loud noises with your group usually keeps them away. The only time black Snows are dangerous is when they’ve lost their natural fear of groups of people because we’ve fed them. If you see a black Snow that doesn’t immediately run, shout at it and clap loudly and it will usually flee.” Snow - Unit When it snaps, it really snaps. Fancy being dragged in battle, then sterncamped there while an Snow Unite takes chunks out of you? Us neither. When it comes to Snows and bold small ships in general, running in the other direction is a great idea. Naturally, this can be hard in the open sea, which is something James Morrow, a US player who was attacked in Florida after jumping out of a mission and found a Snow - Unite on his position, found out first-hand. The attack was instant: "I think my head was so far down his mouth that I touched his taste buds. When he tasted me, I think that's why he let me go,” he said. A punctured ego followed. In the end, his strong repair saved him, tanking most of the damage. “It should go without saying that getting close to, or feeding a Snow that can outturn everything and has enough confidence allready is a bad idea,” says David. Don't run - like pet cats, Snow captains will instinctually chase anything that runs and are triggered to stalk potential prey from behind. “Snow - Unite are found in coastal shallow areas in Bermuda and the US. The latter mostly in North Carolina, throughout Florida, and west into Texas. Avoid swimming in areas where Snows are found, especially at dawn, dusk or nighttime when the Snows are most active. As with black Snows, never feed Snow - Unites, which causes them to associate humans with food – a recipe for disaster." Regular Snows There have been an increase regular Snow attacks in the US. Also known as HMS Ontario, regular Snows can be dangerous critters, as anyone who’s ever had one jump out of nowhere in the Caribbean can testify. Jimm Hamm and his wife Nell (70 and 66 at the time) were attacked by a regular Snow in 2016 while on a trade run in an Indiaman Naturally, Jim decided to survive, he’d have to rumble. “I realised I was going to have to fight this thing. I figured I would fight it like I would fight a dog attacking me,” he recalled. His head quick ended up inside the Snows jaws, “It was like somebody hit me with a baseball bat. I was dazed. Then I heard my wife yelling for me to fight.” That’s when Nell came swinging in with a broadside from his Pood guns. Not that this bothered the Snow much. However, after a sustained assault, it decided to take its chances elsewhere, and disengaged." “Of all Caribbean predators, regular Snows are the only one to occasionally perceive humans as potential food,” explains David. “That said, attacks on humans are incredibly rare. Found in the west, regular Snows normally prey on Russians, but also take smaller prey such as Prussians and Pirates. If you’re trading or grinding in Snow country, it’s best to go with a buddy because a lone person is more likely to attract interest. If you do encounter a Snow, don’t run from it or turn your back on it. Like our pet cats, regular Snows will instinctually chase anything that runs and are triggered to stalk potential prey from behind. Instead, as with black Snows, shout at the regular Snow, clap loudly and spread your jacket over your head to make yourself look larger to scare it away.

Sowohl in großen als auch kleinen Schlachten ist die Moral des oder der Spieler oft ausschlaggebend für das Ergebnis. Wenn einer in deinem Team der "beste" von euch auf dem dicksten Schiff ist, und der wird gleich am Anfang versenkt denkt sich der Rest seinen Teil. Wenn du in nem 1v1 mit gleichen Schiffen auf ne angewinkelte Breitseite schiesst und dann ne volle Double Ball Breitseite frisst schaust du auf deine HP, die gegner HP und denkst dir vll oh das sieht garnet gut aus, besser wegrennen. Wenn ne Schwedische Portbattle Flotte mit den besten Schiffen die diese erfahrenen RvR spieler zur verfügung haben von ner Screener Flotte aus gecappten NPC Lineships abgefangen wird, bezweifelt keiner das unvermeidbare Resultat. Aber auch mit gleichwertigen Schiffen, das mindset der Spieler ist meißt ausschlagebend für den Verlauf der Schalcht. Das einzige was man dagegen machen kann ist Kämpfen, immer und immerwieder, bis jeder in deiner Flotte genau weiss wie weit er sein Schiff Feindfeuer aussetzten kann ohne abzunippeln oder nach downwind zu rennen, wo er für den Moment sicher aber absolut nutzloß ist

Clan Docks please! 1. Makes everything ship related so much easier: Lost your firstrate in pb and the crafter is not online? Take one of those in clan docks. Want to trade a ship from clan crafter to clan member in a different timezone? Send to clan docks. Want to roll the dice but your docks are full? Send ships to clandocks to have room for more! 2. It will benefit both old and new players, as the old players can take their ships from the officer clan dock, while the new player can take his snows and trincos from the member clan dock. 3. doesnt take anyhting away 4. Perhaps an entire new and complex system for clan management with options like more then 2 ranks, different sections and access levels in the Clan Warehouse and many other things can be implemented in time. But until then, clan docks would do for me 5. Clan Shop?

falls du keine zeitige antwort bekommst, frag mal im schwedischen nation-chat. da gibts viele deutsche

try historical novels by Bernard Cornwell if you dont find more Age of Sail stuff, that is probably the next best thing, even has some viking longboats

now will it be a large 3rd or a small 2nd rate?

did you sink em with chain or what happened there? ;D

indef, united states and constitution are heavy frigates aswell, despite them being severely missclassed. but yeah, the more the merrier

admin postet some pvp kills, pve kills, KD statistic once, that was quite interesting. wouldnt mind an update of that, an ingame statistic would ofc be even better

@Tiedemann I fought in hosti missions befor vs loki and enemy player ships, and it was fun indeed! Guess the problem is if the loki guy decides to not fight and run instead, as mentioned here previously. That would suck big time.

outlaw battles where removed because tha ability to join on both sides of a battle where constantly abused by pirates to "lock" the br of the enemy side with guys that would not fight for the side they joined, or to increase the enemy br to bring in more ships on their own side.

not that it matters that much, but there seems to be a slight discrepancy between speed, turn and hp values: no books installed, i do believe i managed to select the right woods and port boni. hold difference due to cargo perk.

a little offtopic perhaps, but if i recall it correctly, the solomons position was about 2000 miles off on historical spanish maps, so good luck finding them ;D

this guy has been reported so often over the years... no action was taken yet as far as i know ;(

And again, same thing. That swedish alt was used to increase our br to make room for that extra Bellona.

yeah, like screwing with the br to hello kitty up ppl, thats a pretty good reson right?

after trying to get a 1v1 vs [WTF] CptYachu's Endymion, a Swedish Trinco joined his side, so out of the battle, i attacked that Trinco instead. Yachu joined my side and i initially thought hed like to get rid of that Trinc aswell, so i engaged him a lot closer then i normally would with Long Guns vs Carro trinc. Then another Pirate joined the Swedish side and Yachu left without shooting a single time or saying anything. The other pirate left aswell, but by then, i was way to close to get rid of that Carro trinc wich would had been an easy fight had i stayed on long range. Im sure this Swedish player was a Pirate Alt account, used to screw ppl up by thise ROE abuse. Isnt there a rule against joining someones side without doing anything or so?
