    Yes, I really think so. It was really funny trolling you with my theories of who Horatio was......and you kept coming to me by private chat asking.....what a coincidence uh?

     

    Did I? That's so long ago, I hardly remember or care :D

    It's a game, some people really need to chill the hell out over certain things.

    @Batman you don't really know what you are doing, do you?

     

    You really think I would waste my time using google translator to read Spanish subforum with broken English, then write a post in perfect English and have it turned into broken Spanish so I could troll in Spanish subforum? Please, stop listening to Hachi :D

    The Harbourmaster - LITTLE CAYMAN

     

    It is hereby announced, that, once the port of LITTLE CAYMAN has been cleaned from the debris of the last naval fight (this means hostility cooldown), the port will make docks available for ships of foreign nations.

    Under the conditition that the port shall NOT be attacked, traders from all nations can here find a place to bid for the highly demanded teak on several auctions a day.

    The harbourmaster will also reduce the taxes for all trading goods to 7%, with a possible further decrease to 5% in the future.

    PLEASE NOTE, the harbourmaster will NOT provide escort services for heavily loaded trade ships arriving or leaving the port, captains have to sail to and from LITTLE CAYMAN on their own risk.

    Shall a nation decide to attack LITTLE CAYMAN, the port will be defended by the Royal Navy and closed down for future business and not reopen for the public again.

    Looks like GB is great again :) 

    i was amazed how many people showed up, considering the fact at friday we had only three or four people screening and thus we had to join from very far away.

    I hope everybody had good fun tonight, and @rediii stop leeching kills or I will never let you command a 25v25 screening battle.

  5. Little Cayman port battle:

    Please note, Lord Kasparov disconnected during the PB

    The port battle fleet was attacked after the port battle:

    Basically the last half hour I was doing nothing due to the wind pushing me into the beach

    I have yet to see a good reason for removing them in this thread

    More diversity isn't always good. New players also think Rookie Brig and Rookie Snow are easy to handle and learn ships because of their names.

    Of course they are completly trash ships and during a sale when loads of new players arrive in the game you see them complaining that they lose against Rookie ship.

     but why would we waste the effort to remove any of the 'useless" ships?

    New players often ask "What is difference between 3rd rate and Bellona" for example. You then need to explain the minor differences between the two ships, same as for the other ships and their clone variants. Removing these ships (on release for example) won't lead to less diversity, only to less confusion amongst new players.

  8. Currently we have several ships ingame that don't really serve a purpose because they have a nearly identical clone with same or better battle performance stats.

    • 3rd rate & Bellona
      • For a long time 3rd rate could only carry 18pd & 24pd guns, while Bellona was able to carry 32pd & 18pd guns (was upgunned to 32 & 24). At some point, the 3rd rate was buffed to 32 & 18pd gun layout, but nobody would use it because everyone had grinded Bellona and thus nobody would do the same for 3rd rate, which is basically exact same ship as Bellona besides equipable guns. 3rd rate should be removed from game, because it is no longer a cheaper alternative to Bellona.
    • Brig & NavyBrig
      • Two identical ship models (visually). NavyBrig receives an extra gun slot over the Brig (9 vs 8). Overall, NavyBrig has also better stats than Brig, with only speed being inferior to the normal Brig. Thus, Brig has no real use while NavyBrig is around.
    • Frigate & Pirate Frigate
      • While the Pirate Frigate has slighty more crew (300 vs 280) and broadside weight (306pd vs 288pd), it is also slower and has slighty weaker base stats compared to normal Frigate. Overall, there are better alternatives to the Frigate/Pirate Frigate in the 5th rate class and the ship is hardly ever seen on the open world.
    • Rattlesnake & Heavy Rattlesnake
      • When released, the Rattlesnake soon became the favourite hunting ship of many Captains. For some reason the devs decided to introduce a fantasy version of the ship called "Heavy Rattlesnake" with more guns (24 vs 18) and better base stats, with only speed being inferior to the normal Rattlesnake (1 knot difference). The Rattlesnake always was a nice little ship that performed well in OW and Port Battles, until her heavier sister appeared in the game ...
