Dear Admiralty, There is one big point to consider, for crafting, woods and creating ship overall: RNG ist best suitable for all items that will remain once they are achieved Example: Everything is fine with encyclopedias; you have to grind hard to get all the required books, build the academy and then finally you craft them and you keep them as long as you play But if you craft a ship, you create an item which has 1 durability; One ambush and the best ship is gone; you cant compete with a combination of a fast ship and a heavy ship; the will certainly sink you. There is nohing wrong with the fact that you have to grind special woods; let the grind be hard. But its wrong that the trim of the ship is random. You should aquire the knowledge to build a very fast ship by either a rare book or by crafting the same ship over and over again. Then you should be able to use it for a lifetime. If you change that, the gameplay wil improve much. So far the thoughts of a brave captain following you since 2016. Best regards

I don't know if it solves problem when it turns out that your teammate has sunk your best ship.

Let's wait and see before doing too early conclusions. It sounds very interesting I welcome every change that makes woods other than T/WO attractive.

This sounds really good. From the very beginning I was convinced that players choices should have consequences. Players who fight bravely should get a bonus over players which run - Any war court would have given high punishments for cowards .... I am curious what this will lead us all to .... keep up the good work.

No. You just get info about your enemy which is a genius feature. @admin this is a great idea.

Make Fog appear in Combats. Someone can retreat, someone can suddenly appear and attack, you never know exactly where you opponent is, nor if he attacks within the next moment.

Man kann auf jeden Fall dem (AI)-Schiff in der eigenen Flotte Befehle erteilen. Das geht über das "Map" Fenster, dort kannst du auf einen Feind klicken und dann der AI beipsielsweise "demast" befehlen, was dann Auswirkungen auf den Kampf hat (In diesem Fall ist demast zwar unglücklich formuliert, denn die AI versucht dann einfach zu chainen) aber es ist doch zumindest eine Möglichkeit der Computer-Intelligenz auf die Sprünge zu helfen. Nicht das Gelbe vom Ei aber mit einer Indiaman Flotte kannst du so einem Angreifer in einer Fregatte ziemlich zusetzen und im besten Fall vertreiben.

I guess it's the next update which can happen as soon as the new flag mechanics are baken.

As longer as I read this post, the more I come to the conclusion that there should be a suicide perk which allows to explode manually while boarding

Indeed elite ships were introduced as possibility to get premium ships from AI, the fact that they were mostly carrying interesting items like guns is a side-note.

I think also elite notes should allow wood choice.

Still today, after mainatenance?

Well, it happened to me too. I have no problem with it although the waste of time is really critical. I still don't understand the concept of the game. I do understand that the devs are trying to implement a lot of pirate stuff. Ok, piracy means taking what other players have achieved so far. Ok, but why then change the whole thing by making these protection fleets. If the game tries to teach you that nothing has a duration then just remove the fleets because they are against the game's own rules. Let players protect other players. If there is no player - bad luck.

That's fair. I love this event. Could happen more often.

Thx for info.

@adminCan you tell us please, if the event has started and if the locations are the same as before?

Ich verstehe die ganze "Neuling" - Diskussion nur wenig. Die "großen" Fleets sind ja schon da um dem Schiffsverkehr im Hauptstadtbereich ein gewisses Maß an Sicherheit zu geben. Da braucht man doch keine Cerberus Fleets zusätzlich. Ich persönlich fand diese Kleingruppen von Snows die umherschwirren eher amüsant. Neulinge sind doch mithilfe der Tutorials (die ja sowieso Sinn machen um im Kämpfen auf See besser zu werden) schnell auf Fregatten-Niveau. Dann kümmern sie doch Kleingeschwader um die Hauptstadt nur noch wenig, dann werden sie sich weiter rauswagen um Schiffe zu finden die mehr XP bringen. Und überhaupt ist es doch keine Sache als erfahrener Spieler mal schnell einzuspringen wenn jemand im Nation Chat um Hilfe in Hauptstadtnähe ruft, da sind doch immer Schiffe verfügbar ...

Give us the possibilty to choose the ships trim - this is only a small compensation for tweaking crafting after releasing DLC

Until now I've bought all DLCs (~300 €) and I am playing this game since 4 years. So its a monthly fee of 6,25 € for me which is not much regarding that we have a small player base. It does sound very fair to me -- and you can choose on your own whether to buy or not.

Thx for your work! I want to say here that you took good care for the servers over the last 4 years ... Go on like this! Looking forward very much for Diana event.

finally got logged in after 10 mins waiting but after character selection loading process seems to take endless time ....

I can't log in to the war server because of maintenance. I neither can log in to peace server; it says population low, but I get repeatedly in queue at number #60-#70 then it counts down a bit then it counts up again?!?

AI should surrender when demasted; I'm tired of stern shooting a bigger AI ship when all the masts are already gone and I simply can't destroy the hull enough to sink him; if he has only bow spirit he should immediately surrender

Just throwing it into the ring: what if we have the ability to choose the ship's special trim (fast, agile, cramped, rig, hull) remove the "very" predicates RNG only the crafting of blue/ purple / gold ships (3-5 upgrades) It would give you more control over the crafting process. ATM I don't like it at all because it results in crafting many crappy ships to receive per random once in a lifetime the gold fast trinco you dreamt of - just to loose it in a gank next door ....

Does these fleets "see" you in bad weather? (when you don't see them?) I think they should not.
