to LORD VICIOUS:

That´s a statement....

Yes, sure. In the game we have BR-difference that no slowing done of fleets is possible. But I am just asking myself, how "realistic" would it be to make it even into a battle vs. a SOL as a single pirate on a much smaller ship? Stern-camping would be not an option, as any SOL would demast me before I could get even close...I needed 4-5 snows to get into battle, and then yes, stern-camp the constitution.

Yea, Right. Actually, discussing this point in detail is.... "I assume, that he assumes therefore I assume, if he..." Actually, that´s the problem with AI fleets in general. You all asumme..."if the AI were not there, I could...win this"

As I was sailing Mortimer - St. Nic (trade) and the Brits defense fleet (10 VIC and after 2-3 VIC) left St. NIC heading to PUERTO Esc, I saw a Pirate CONSTI just passing by. I was always thinking at the beginning of the game how much this can break "the immersion" of the game. Here my "fancy" idea: - every engagement of hostile ships on the OW passes a BR "check" (like BR tagging check) - if the BR difference being to high, the low BR is automatically "sunk" by the agressor (a check window asking "want to sink this ship? = yes = low BR ship sunk, attacker cannot ove for x? sec.) Just, a Traders snow should never just "sail though" or pass by a fleet of British VICs without not fearing to loose the ship. - allows for "blockading" ports more effectively. - allows for "hunting" the single Lyny/Privateer in OW by good manouvering and encircling... Sure the "circle" for this BR needs to be tight and adjusted... I just believe, "scouting" should be more (potentially) "harmful"....you need to be more carefully looking "what´s out there on the OW" = no afk sailing (risky)

With "old pirates", I had got this VIC....in a hostile environment no LynX / Vic - combo can survive.... Just take it this way, he is a loner and a newbie. Otherwise he´d never take out a VIC for a Sunday walk....so ignore him. With no AI, he´d just not be out in the sea....

If labor contact = non transferable... they craft mats with it = transferable....

Alright, thats true. Well, then keep it. My "assumption" is not a suggestion, rather as "hypothesis" (or a desperate try to imitate Greek mythological prophet Cassandra) Sure, test until players complain. But, not sure IF they complain. So, you need to test. (and I guess that s a tricky task to find out what´s most liked...) Maybe, you track participating / voting numbers and "normalize" them with players logging in... No idea...

Trolling ! (or stalking however you call it...) players who want to destroy any fun ingame or outgame... Does not make me a great diplomat loosing my temper, eh? Better be a "rageboard"-suicide captain...

Final voting 1 week Final alliance length 3 weeks. 2 allies. Sounds just rigth. No need for bigger allies. 1+2 allies and 1+2 = 6 nations can already fight together 1 nation, if they wanted. assumption: Shorter system will soon "piss off" players.

Problem is, if you wanted to get rid off me, you needed to do the opposite. Not destroy my reputation but to lift it! So, you want to keep me by any cost? I fully understand, but many nations contacted me to reveal / hand over and explain the top-secret documents of Lord Vicious called "The art of deceiving the enemy and secure win in every single battle" Until now, I never handed over any information, so call me honest loyal trustworthy religious I am in command of the English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian, German and Portuguese language.Baisc skills on writing and reading Latin.

question: I was once a honourable merchant of the Dutch nation (Hethwill can witness), I turned pirate, because my belief was not in order with the doctrine of Johannes Calvin. Now, with the new "praying" button ingame, I went back to my roots and right before Willemstad, praying, I found back my lost soul. I´d be grateful if you could grant me amnesty. If you do so, I will consider to apply. I am a honourable pirate with good connections all over the world. But I have one question? Can you guarantee me the following rights, the priviliges i have being a pirate? Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person no slavery No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him Everyone has the right to leave the Dutch nation, including his own, and to return to his country No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security any Dutch will act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood Am I entitled to all the rights and freedoms of the glorious DUTCH nation, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion? Please, consider me.

- erstmal gibt´s "release", gepusht durch schöne "teaser" Videos (und unsere steam-reviews...anderes Thema) = Geld - dann treffen Sie eine Grundsatzentscheidung, gab ja mal ne Umfrage, sieht wohl nach "cash-shop" aus für Farbe und Krimms-Krams. Dann, wenn es danach aussieht, das nix mehr an neuen Käufern nachkommt, dann wird versucht noch "cash" zu machen (was würde ihr machen?) - die power-player sind dann nach und nach raus.... und dann wird NA 2 released. Normale Spiel-Entwicklung...

Shit man Bach, don´t sell my secrets about AI fleets to the public. Hethwill listen, this pirate´s got a "pair of pixelcoj'ones" not caring about AI fleet, but rather boarding a LGV + connies? How many had cried about it instead of succeeding? The question is, why restrictions? The LYNX + 2 Santi is a troll or a villain. Just showing off something he never boarded himself from another player...a shame no one toook his 2 Santis... Why eliminate stupidity by "game design" rather than by learning? BACH showed how to deal with it...

@Hethwill: you do realize, you got a new nickname? Ledinis´ "drama queens on the subject": = I refer to you now as the "AI fleet drama queen"

Jesus, now I know "I am out of date..." (old school gamer) What? QQ? I´d be lost without the internet...and this page: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=QQ QQ Contrary to popular belief, QQ is not a set of crying eyes. It actually originated with the advent of Warcraft II. On battlenet, you could press ALT+Q+Q to immediately exit the match and program. Thus the term "QQ" was to tell people to just quit because they are unskilled. The term later developed and lost it's origin and is usually mistaken as crying eyes. In contemporary gamer culture, QQ has become the mainstream emoticon for crying eyes, though it is still often used in it's traditional sense. "Shut up or QQ!" "Why don't you QQ, noob?"

For "event missions", "unboxing deadman´s chest", I recommend 1492: Conquest of Paradise Theme • Vangelis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94dY-QxjDiE

I am 1st to watch and comment... (will I get the BP now?) Sadly, your letters to the king will never top your "unboxing deadman´s chest" video. I feel, you are still not over it... I watched it maybe 10 times, if you let this song / video run at the same time with "unboxing deadman´s chest", its perfect !....(now, I know how to pronounce Pellew´s sigthts properly, and come on bro, it´s not like loosing a max exp. troll slayer at BloodBowl by a nasty ChaosWarrior MB/claw block and the apo fails = dead/dead...) I suggest, rename your epic vid to: "conquest for paradise - unboxing deadman´s chest". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94dY-QxjDiE

This is....... I thought you said "fair enough"? We can solve this by PM only, will be futile otherwise....and waste of Mod´s capacities...

A "blind bargain" for every single player with no clan-TS.

An arme "newbies" verteilen....einen Porsche kann man schlecht verteilen... Oder mit "buy-contract" rumexperimentieren und den Feind "aushungern"....

Hättste ma gemacht. Was willse denn mit ner bemalten VIC? Die fährst Du dann eh nicht...Porsche in der Garage. Nur gucken, nicht anfassen!? (Schalker?)

Would "kill off" this title in my opinion. There are enough problems in the game to be solved. To introduce a "second currency" would put this game in one line with the "free-to-play-titles" and would make it appear "trash". Having rare paints is a nice idea, and the colours are selected carefully right now. Those "skins" should not be craftable and only accesible on special occasions. It is the "companies" "future option" in the financial market. If they need it (or want it) they can easily "cash-in" on extra skins/flags/banners, without harming the gameplay. So, don´t throw it away cheaply. Keep your assets in stock ! Like most player stockpile their Santis / ships...

>>The AI in the game sux ... players that use it have that same reduced capacity. If there is no other way to make players feel safe from Gankers then the game IMHO is doomed to failure. If this post will not be penalized with a "warning point", I know that this thread is not being monitored.... A clear insult to all players and the Devs who brought AI fleets back into the testing.... >>As I said I play this game to fight other players not fight a computer maneuvering an AI ship as directed from some small vessel. Sure. I guess you have been "farming" AI missions over and over again....

I am not a beginner and AI ships are hard to command. Still, they are the most useful tool in the game a trader can have. The sheer ignorance on this topic is just....am I being entitled to comment on PB with 1st rates I never took part? No, but eveyrone feels entitled to comment on AI fleets having no experience or DATA to give evidence whats going on.
