Lobby lobby lobby and not only for Pb

Lol you are not the only one hahah, makes you feel stupid sometimes. I ve only heard possitive reactions and i think everybody would like to see something like I suggested, i also dont see that much of a problem (but i know nothing about coding), still i hope the devs will focus their time more on these kind of things - improving our battle experience instead of to much non-battle mechanics and thingys.

Ahoy captains and dev captains, I would love to see a more complex cannon management system We should be able to select what we want to load in each deck on each side and if we want to put man on reload on each. This way alot more skill and loading management comes in place and alot more complex setups are possible In addition to this system we should add an earlier suggested idea: Shoot with Space bar stop shooting when stop holding space bar (maybe with some delay) To explain my suggestion ill use the santisima as example: Santisima gun options in battle: Left side and Right side Bottom Gun Deck - 1 Chain 2 Ball 3 Grape 4 Dubbel 5 Charge 6 No reloading (meaning no crew on reload and no reload) 7 No shooting (The F5 function we have now) Middle Gun Deck - 1 Chain 2 Ball 3 Grape 4 Dubbel 5 Charge 6 Nothing Top Gun Deck - 1 Chain 2 Ball 3 Grape 4 Dubbel 5 Charge 6 No reloading 7 No shooting Weather Deck - Bow - 1 Chain 2 Ball 3 Grape 4 Dubbel 5 Charge 6 No reloading 7 No shooting Stern - 1 Chain 2 Ball 3 Grape 4 Dubbel 5 Charge 6 No reloading 7 No shooting Possible gun setup in battle: Left side Bottom Gun Deck - 2 Ball (enough penetration dont need charge) Middle Gun Deck - 2 Ball (same) Top Gun Deck - 1 Charge (to get more pen) Weather Deck - 1 Chain (low dmg but usefull to slow enemy down) Right side - Bottom Gun deck - 4 Dubbel (passing enemies close on right side and want to do max dmg) Middle Gun deck - 4 Dubbel (same) Top gun deck - 4 Dubbel (same) Weather deck - 1 Chain (9pd low dmg but good to slow them down) This way you can use your cannons in a more efficient way, higher skill capp to master the game, when you are low on crew you can cancel reloading on the cannons that dont penetrated the enemy and have a better reloading on the cannons that mean something etc. Maybe an option should allow you to choose between old system and new one (for new players and ships with only 1 deck) Please reply with usefull feeback or suggestions about this idea, what you like, what you dont, what should be added or removed etc. Also think about how this should be controlled - should we select it by mouse or keys? and how can we display it without costing to much space on your screen. If you think the current system should be replaced but on a total different way also let me know. Thanks for reading

Nice ill contact you in game. But this also proves more people getting the same paints over and over so maybe thers something wrong with the rng dices

1. If you use the function - exit to friendly port around Rio Chico you will either be tped to caracas or la orchilla (as dutch player). Its like Rio Chico is not in the port list 2. 6 of the 8 paints i got were belle poule? Starting to feel like theres something than bad luck happening here.

Yea, it was a waste of time for alot of players today. Anyways, thanks for the info ciao

Today we sailed with a 4th rate fleet to attack the port of santa marta. Most of us sailed the Hamburger and at the port we found out you cant join PB with it.

Agreed. We need a flagsystem 2.0 or 3.0.

Yes, and in the main time please repair the dutch britsh alliance with a patch or something, this has taken to long ..

I agree my solution doesnt solve anything since the 2 dura you capture will also be lost if you get captured, so only if you sink its safer. Great idea, lets hope we get something like this and maybe make 7th/6th rates 2 duras and rest 1 dura

Sorry i thought the reason would be obv. But the reason behind it is i want to put mods on captured ships (ofc i can do this now but its easier/safer to just build a ship with 5 duras). Another solution would be to make all upgrades craftable as otto was saying. Atm im not sailing captured ships I only put them in my fleet from time to time or break them up

Hey devs and fellow captain, I think we should change the Dura on a captured ship from 1 to 2. Also being captured should cost you 2 duras. Sinking should stay 1. Ofc first rates dont count. What do you think?

1. Dutch Ships (no fish boats) 2. PB last longer - eeeee we win o wait in 1.5 we magically lose 3. Raiding - 5-10 ----------- you log in - you want to do something fun - you are with small group - best you can do is rasie hostility in nationaly effort - eeeeew we dont want to do boring PVE stuff - logg off - we need raids - or anything else which is a small group effort 4. More freedom - name your ship - lobby room to setup PVP - 5v5 clan wars - 10v10 clan wars - PB exercize - battle commander try out ----- W/E - custom clan sails - etc etc 5. You name it

So far i collected 4 skins: BellePoule - classic white BellePoule - French BellePoule - Brest Harbor Essex - Brest Harbor Beautiful skins but i dont sail these ships too often and i got 3 skins for the same boat. So anyone who wants to trade contact me ingame or pm me on the forum. Ingame name: DeBoskabouter

Clandock - shareships Clanoutpost - for clan operation far from capital Clan flags - could be aproved by a selected group in the community (the green chat guys , forgot the name ) Many more features i can think of but these would be nice to start with

Do we get some kind of testing lobby for this? Because with the current system we wont be able to test all ports and only are able to test a few times a week max. And i really think this land in port battles needs a lot of testing.

Sounds good:)

Agreed remove this exploit or just make a port batte lobby to join PB (both ok to me)

Im willing to test this it could be good imo. In the past the devs implemented more stuff which created a discussion like this and in the end in turned out great. What I think is more important know is a little more detail about this wipe so we can prevent players from wasting their time: ETA - days weeks months would be a start Removed ships - what do we get in return? LBHs, materials , resource, nothing? If we get nothing, people will only build materials and labor contract and when this rolls out they will build 20 ships in 1 day. Or will you also wipe all materials labor contracts? If we get materials, resources or lbhrs in return, people will still build ships and the game can continue Im happy to test this, but please let us know what to expect

Your crafter, crafts the ship for your captain. You are not a 100% crafter in this game. You are a trader, captain, crafter and more. So maybe you crafter isnt allow to sail the crafted ship but your captains does. Anyways its both BS because why would someone not be able to use something he spend alot of time in? Next time you build something lets say a chair ill claim it because i can sit better in it than you

Just to make it clear - all current ships will be removed after you add this new system? And will it happen next hotfix or more like next big patch? I agree, please give basic ships a different colour. I know this shouldnt matter but it still does

Why cant we sail all on excp ships and be happy with it?

Agreed This new lobby should allow you to choose how many ships which ships, perks or no perks, upgrades or no upgrades, open sea or with land, shallow PB with 3 towers or normal pb with 5 towers, how many time, etc etc etc

Agreed.

The first few days after the new patch I really didnt like the new crewdmg. After they tweaked it a little and now im getting used to it im starting to really like it. Like you said a good hit in the stern without armor should be devastating. Before the patch you could been in a long hot battle and at the end you still see most of the ships got lots of crew. Now after 30-60 minutes you see most ships struggeling to load their cannons and turn their sails because the heavy fighting has taken its toll. This is what i really like and think should stay. What I also really like is that you cant just simply show your ass to someone to avoid getting damge on your hull and you have to watch your back all the time, really really good But, this is still a game so maybe we should tweak it a little more so it can be both historical and fun to play for everybody. And I think this is what the devs are trying to do. So everybody keep patience and get used to the fact that getting it up the ass hurts.
