  1. Definitely a cool idea. Definitely think that 0 physical rewards should be given. Maybe they get a flag or icon next to their name just to signify their leet'ness. Any physical reward will guarantee abuse to win. So would this idea cause people are people but then they can just have their notoriety as assholes and not with actual benefits/advantages.
  2. They're on carriages which were designed to allow the cannons to handle recoil and then be "easily" pushed back into place. Not for movement around the decks. That typically required them being lifted off the carriage. Even the field cannons used in the Civil War which were considerably smaller than their ship based cousins needed horses, mules or horse drawn carriages to move around. So, yes, to answer your question they most certainly were on wheels. But no, they were never moved around the ship.
  3. How many zombie crew would it take to move a 12-pound cannon that weighs 1,745kg (3,847lbs)? Or a 24-pounder @ 2,970kg (6,548lbs)? Anyway, I'm on the less repairs/longer timers/no zombie crew side of the fence. [edit] just for comparison sake a 1995 Honda Civic weighs in at 1,143kg (2520lbs)
  4. Hmm, seems to me that my friend and I could kill each-other on the hour every hour as well. How do you know the difference? Regardless, leaderboards always lead to epeen waving and folks willing to find whatever means necessary to be on top. I don't care for them. Throw in rewards and there will always be someone trying to game the system. Not even counting ALTs. Clans and individuals will make deals with each-other just to farm each-other to exchange said rewards and to show how big their epeens are cause they are on the top of some arbitrary list. Although, that's just my opinion and I could be wrong.
  5. ALT "farming" bad. You and your friend farming each-other, okay? /curious
  6. @Corporal Bridge come on, mang! We're all in suspense over here! =)
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Meier's_Pirates! Just a tad before my time. I started with Sid's Civ I and Colonization a few years later. [edit] oh, is this what the OP is talking about: https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/64157/privateers-and-gentlemen ?
  8. It's a unique idea but what if you suck at combat like me? =) Double penalty, lose your 1 dura ship AND Knowledge! Take that you unskilled fool! Meh, HTFU? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  9. Join us! Bring the whole gang! =) Just leave the drama, plz k thx.
  10. Like @Iroquois Confederacy I mostly stick to myself as well. I moved away from Mort pretty quickly and setup shop elsewhere. My playtime is limited and random but I typically see a few other pirates on the OS everytime I'm on. I was chased by a fellow Pirate once but I was in a T.Brig with goods and was able to dock just before he tagged, can't blame them really... =) Other than that no hot Pirate on Pirate action that I've had to deal with. And chat isn't that bad, probably too quiet most of the times I'm on. Maybe it's harder? I dunno. /shrug
  11. [/slight necro] I voted 1 character per account in that thread but I would still like a "reset" button. If I want to start over from scratch then that's my choice. It has 0 effect upon your game-play, gimme dey button. I also can't see how the handful of us that are interested in re-rolling as new chars can hurt a game in Alpha? Or does having experienced folks trying out the new player experience somehow diminish it?
  12. No loss - good. No Rewards - even better. Leaderboards - meh... I like the concept of leaderboards and tracking but in practice they become epeen waving drama creating bs. Players and Guilds start being measured on their "rank" or whatever measure. As an alternative maybe just a medal system as you reach a certain point/number of duels/wins you just get a new one. Or a title. Anyway, everyone likes waving epeens, even myself, prolly making this an unpopular opinion overall. I am also curious if this will make the Small Battles mechanic even more useless and will this hurt solo roaming? Riskless PvP is still Riskless PvP.
