Wow, it's finally here. What changes are planned for the release game. Anything new for the PvE server?

I noticed some laggyness but it seems my items and ships are left untouched.

If you are looking for clan on the PvE server we will be happy to invite you. FPM or Flying Powder Monkeys sporting the British National flag based in Grand Turk.

FPM for Flying Powder Monkeys (Brit nation at Grand Turk), is actively recruiting. Meet me online or requrest membership from one of the clan officers. Thanks in advance.

Having re-read this post, this is an awesome improvement. It answers more than one question for me.
-
There is good ideas to be implemented in the original post. I think DLC ships, in all iterations/qualities that are crafted can co-exist. Crafting has different rewards and DLC ships has their own as well. There is definately a place for both in this game.
Right now however crafting is more or less at a slow crawl due to resources and permits.

With a spring release I'll be getting asap. This looks like a fantastic format I'm glad it's finally coming alive. I love the scenery, concept and reverse view on colonization of North America speaking from someone generationally rooted in Canadian history.

I thought it should have counted along time ago.

That was my exact thought just a few minutes ago while I was disconnecting.
Opening a gold chest only to find your 3rd Prince permit... Which can be bought anyway from Admiralty... Pfff come on. What's the point?
I've been wanting to craft a Niagara for a few days now, welp, can't find a permit... Not even from other players. What's the point? It's a Niagara, not a Bismarck xDAnd I fail to see what it is supposed to bring to the game.
The solution; make the ships craftable again.

Will permits for most ships be available in the Admiralty shops, right now I don't see permits for the Bellona, Indef and others.
-
Just wondering why the little details box is set to on/off. Wouldn't it simplier to just have it on? Just a friendly suggestion.

What a beautfil ship the Gold Connie is and the Diana is very nice too. Thanks!
-
With this fantastic improvement how about clan ship docks so Clan builders can make and store ships for the members.
I noticed Rare woods mentioned. Does this mean crafters can use rare wood types for upgrading ship quality??

I have the same issue on my new 2080 ti, it has improved with the lastest driver up date but ships rigging still flashes and has ropes missing. I wonder if it's the ray tracing that isn't working 100%.
-
Reals is an important part of the game, I agree. We should be able to capture traders with Reals and Dubloons.

I was wondering where the LGV-Refits are? Did I miss something?

According to Geforce Experience I'm using driver version 417.71 on a RTX 2080, and I have no issues.
I noticed the reported issues in another thread and I decided to avoid updating the drivers.
I haven't gone back that far but I'll try it.

I have a i-9 [7900) CPU and new 2080 ti Video card. I have also been getting flickering of the rigging allot lately as well. I do think it's only a matter of time before they sort out a new driver and fix this issue. I have rolled back the vid driver one by one back several updates and the problem still continued even got worse sometimes. So I tried the opposite and updated with the latest driver to GeForce 419.17 just released and did noticed an improvement although the rig flashes still. Also consider enabling G-sync both on your system and V-sync in game. It seems to help allot. If you have any other suggestions I'll give it a try.

Thanks very much, super nice ship and Poods to go with it ! Love the Christian a real powerhouse. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Naval Action Staff and their families.

I miss the old system, sure it had faults but you could basically craft what you wanted in the way you wanted it. Players should be able to craft and sail the ship that suits them most. I'd happily do away with the RNG and just have flat ships so everyone is equal and it becomes more skill based again. The current system that relies too much on giving your ship the best bonuses you can stinks and destroys balance because changing a ships stats up to around 30% is near impossible to balance properly.
It would be cool to see some kind of system of diminishing returns going on where it becomes increasingly expensive to create a marginally better ship, and as the more you squeeze out of it the lower the gains but it should be controlled by the crafter, giving a proper sense of quality vs quantity that was there historically.
Crafting notes kind of made sense, to make them work better they just needed to be non tradable so you were forced to make them yourself and spend hours on making them, the idea that you can spend more hours on a ship to make it better makes total sense in a MMO world, and if you stagger them by saying something like 0 notes for a basic ship, 2 notes for green, 5 notes for blue, 10 notes for purple and 16 notes for gold it would probably balance fairly well, you'd have access to the ships you wanted.
One of the main issues with the game economy right now is its missing equilibriums and consumer surplus, it would benefit the game so much to allow players to make more market lead choices as they do in real life, crafting needs these aspects to be a fulfilling task, rather than what it is at the moment which is just asymmetrical RNG favouring middle of nowhere ports, ports that take you away from the community and make the experience more grind ridden as a whole and therefore the game experience worse, in the hope it promotes RVR, which it doesn't.
This is what I'm driving at. I like the idea of generating Notes for the different qualities. The bar for how many notes or special permits required could be eventually controlled by admiralty in a commodity driven economical environment so, what that means is; for example- if too many Gold or excellent ships are coming out then the cost or value could be increased. Conversely, if not enough are crafted price/cost may be lowered. A control similar to the present permit system only those notes/permits will apply within each given catagorical group as Fluffy already alluded to.
The aforementioned changes, I really believe, will simulate a demand within the economy and give crafters an additional interesting dimension to build ships with. It will also give clans and members something to work toward and add a very positive new direction to the game.
Thanks for your ideas and comments.

I don't like it, where there could be a expansive skill/perk system for crafting, where you allocate points for greater chance at certain bonuses, we're instead praying to soulless RNG mechanics to deliver us from the ever encompassing might of the more valuable redeemable ships. I don't think building a ship of quality was a 100% random affair, I'm almost absolutely sure that it depended on the materials and experience of the men building it, and that someone who builds the same ship 50 times over has a greater chance to get better qualities over the completely random chance of crafting one ship and getting a gold.
Now there is at least a thoughtful suggestion. Lets put our heads together and come up something viable at least.

25 fir fir t-lynx to make a golden ocean? no way this is what people will do...
That sounds rediculous, why would anyone ask for a system like that? I certainly not suggesting a first rate permit reward be handed out for building T-Lynxs; BUT what about 25 - First rate builds for a purple permit and 35-40 builds or more for Gold permit. Each permit would apply to it's own rate. The numbers are a suggestion only.
-
What about a crafter reward system that will hand out one purple upgrade certificate per 20-25 builds crafts (for exampe) and one Gold certificate per 50 builds, then at least the builder can decide what and when.
What Happened on the PvE Server????
