Updated to 10.4 - changes to Bovenwinds Refit Note & Crooked Hull Refit

Updated to 10.4 - various speed changes

I dont think it should be a legal issue as long as its clearly stated that all submissions can be used by the devs to their liking. But then again I have never been in game development... But I still think the devs waste potential in not crowdsourcing simple things.

Artwork would be awesome. But we would need some kind of template from the devs on how it would be implemented first...

Thats really interesting, didnt know that. Stat caps are a odd thing if they are mentioned nowhere.

So it's that time of the year again. Gabe. What are you doing? Gabe. STAHP!!!!

Patience is a virtue. Or to quote 3d realms: It’s done, when it’s done

If thats actually the case i dont think it's the intended way. Ever since i have played every single modificator of each installed upgrade was applied to the ship...

Following the former cryptic modifiers it would rather be something with "force" then.

As I understand it the UI is still way on the end of the devs to-do list for now since there are more urgent matters to adress. For new players the UI is probably still a huge turnoff and only those who actually give it a shot will see the real beauty. What is even problematic for most "old dogs" are the cryptic modifiers. But one benefit of naval action is that we have a small but mostly comitted community (at least for now). Why not use our strengths in the community to kill two birds with one stone and bring the game forward in this simple cause. My suggestion is to make it a kind of challenge to describe upgrades, books and their modifiers, wares and ships with fitting and understandable statements, quotes and such. The challenge could be for example one item per week. @admin decides which ones are fitting and give it to the players as a poll to decide which they like most. The suggestion with the most votes at the end of the week wins and gets a reward in some form - marks, ships, skins etc. What do you guys think?

I have to say I agree on @Sir Texas Sir that it most likely means the yard turn speed. There is not much with a turning rate on a ship besides rudder, yards and the ship itself.

"Art of Ship Handling" is found as blueprint as it states in the information above. So aye to both, your "somehow" is the found "Art of Ship Handling"-blueprint...

Updated to 10.3 changes to Art of Proper Cargo Distribution & Winged-out Ballast.

Update to 10.3 Changes in British Rig Refit & False Keel. Also added combat marks

So folks with alts can exchange their wares on open seas? Nah thx mate. And i don't think it's historically accurate either. Unloading a trader ship in port could take days.

Just double-checked for you. But yes according to the API the values are positive: "Modifiers":[{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_ROLL_ANGLE"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":-10},{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_SPEED"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":3}], "Modifiers":[{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_ROLL_ANGLE"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":-5},{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_SPEED"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":3}] "Modifiers":[{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_ROLL_ANGLE"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":-3},{"Slot":"NONE","MappingIds":["SHIP_MAX_SPEED"],"Absolute":0,"Percentage":3}],

pretty much. yes. but the colorcoding is my interpretation of the values. Might be that the values are a positive thing. But afaik speed is always better if the values are positive and vice versa the time decreases with a negative value.

AFAIK available doesn't necessarily mean the port has the wares in stock, just that they have it delivered on a regular basis. Get an outpost there and set a contract.

same goes for crew space. When it comes to coding and extracting i'd rather not hardcode but i guess there is no other way for now.

@Remus Wow. I don't think I even want to know how long it took you to connect these dots. Makes sense tho... Any chance you figured out a way to map the modifiers aka modules to these?
