There are 2 servers. In fact, you can play on both of them!

Stop being obtuse..... Are you that guy who doesn't join a squad in shooters and then brags about his K\D ratio even when the team loses?

Sounds good, @admin.. Thanks for replying and nice job on rolling out this patch! I've been looking forward to interactive ports for quite some time (ever since land in battles)!

Soooo..... Now that we are approaching a finalized set of game mechanics, complete with some cool new Port Mechanics, I feel like we need to address the issue of "Bonuses" in Woods and Mods and Books once and for all. With the addition of specialized crafting facilities in upgraded ports, I'm extremely concerned about the return of "Franken-ships" of the past. Speed-capped SOL's and impenetrable frigates, etc.... Couple some of these Rig -refits with this: and add in some of the bonuses from the new port mechanics and you can see that some serious craziness MAY occur. May I suggest a serious re-examination of bonuses and their ability to be stacked and/capped? I would also suggest an immediate 50% reduction in ALL bonuses, ranging from Woods to boarding mods to rig refits. I fully understand that all games have a "meta" and am finally at peace with the concept of "mods" over an officer system. However, I feel that the mod bonuses are just a bit too high at the moment. Currently, if you're not sailing with Elite Pirate, Cartagena and carros (or poods), you're just fodder for someone who is. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Nope. Just sweet sweet memories....

That's not true at all...

With the introduction of player-created defenses, can we have a return to player-manned guns in the forts and Martello towers? It was great fun and seems like it might be a simple way to put a bit of spark back into participating in Port Battles. I believe it should be already coded given the fact that we used to be able to man them in pre-land PB's.... I honestly think that this aspect of the game is where most further, post-release, gameplay has the most room for additional content. Stay tuned for my next suggestion of Mortar Brigs not actually destroying fortifications, but just "suppressing" them, as IRL.

From your mouth to Gods ears... but I think that ship has sailed.... They tried an "officer-based" system before, which was pretty good. But for some, the "mods" are like quests... and people love quests!

That’s silly. Of course you can. You just capture it from an inferior captain. Unless you’re trying to say that there is some sort of correlation between being in a big clan making someone a better captain... Just because someone is in a “big clan” doesn’t mean they don’t sail solo at times or that they’re even a decent captain.

Looks like city planner to me....

And yet I don't exploit, cheat or try and ascribe my whining to other players' names, so I have no need to feel shame... A few times I feel like I have gone too far. I have deleted and apologized. It's what adults do. When I disagree with the devs, I state so and explain why. I dont expect them to cater to my whims and "fix" it.

Again... hilarious that people defend bad behaviour... In early access you're not "playing" the game. You're "testing" it. To find things that are broken. And you are REQUIRED to report them. An entire clan lost their ranks because they forgot this. Stop defending bad behaviour.

Ummmmm, my guess would be the ones who actually do this type of stuff and get banned... I get it that public shaming has gone out of style lately, but I'm an older man so I was raised with the ability to deal with it.

And yet the same people defend shite like this.... Hilarious. If this kind of stuff doesn't prove to you that they have made the right decision taking out the trash, then I don't know what will. Next thing I'm sure we'll start hearing about is doxxing "fan bois"... And I'm only half-kidding.

Everyone needs to stop trying to fill the recently created "drama vacuum"... ha! If I had a dime for every time I've been told that " I should get cancer and die" in game, I'd be rich.... Report and move on....

This from Ink: “Captain, have you checked information in the Buildings and Crafting tab?”

My pleasure... fair winds!

Parallel means the guns fire straight perpendicularly from the side of the ship no matter what you are aiming at.... "Water" means they will attempt to converge on the width of the ship you are aiming at's waterline.

Ummmmmm..... Ok. @admin Can you give a little bit of detail as to how the "port investment" mechanics work? Do clan member deposit resources into a "port warehouse"? Do clan members just drop reales and doubloons into the clan warehouse? The first option might be cool.... The second option sounds realllllllllly rather dull and meh.....

The Sisters of the Holy Mojito approve of this message....

Need an invite, mate?

I'm not ALWAYS a dick....

See, here's the deal.... I wasn't actually trying to be rude... I was trying to explain in case you in fact didnt't speak native English.

Awwwwwww, sorry cupcake. Carry on.

Not sure if English is your first language... But there's this thing called "rhetorically speaking"....
