  1. omg I thought this thread was about the whaler... lol... I was thinking to myself "is that a gun deck of harpoons...?" 

    It's official, I'm a lubber

    Porter was sent to the Pacific to disrupt the British and Spanish whaling industries. I'd assume he did some whaling of his own at times. 

  2. [sOB] (Sons of Britain) Decided to migrate to PvP1 a long time ago, we had roughly 175 members at the time of the move, around 80 of them being frequently active.

     

    The decision was made because the server population was dropping like flies, and the clan was thirsty for the big 1st rate battles, that just weren't possible on PvP2 because people decided to flee and leave ports undefended when we came in force to capture them. (which displeased a few french, who I'll leave unnamed)

     

    We still have most of our ships on PvP2, an example being my first ever 1st rate, which was 3/5 Build strength / Speed (Exceptional) Victory.( I miss it still :( )

     

    [sOB] Had started on PvP1 but then reformed to [KIN] (King's Imperial Navy) Due to the Clan leader going MIA.

    TY for the update; edited OP. Sad to hear you've jumped ship. We still see a couple SoBs on every so often. Perhaps you will make a return to PvP2 after the patch? Unless, of course, the majority of your fleet has Euro time as your primetime... :D 

  3. Yes please...I've suggested the first part in another post and included that players are able to change the size of the port from a standard port to a regional port by player activity there (ie buying OP permits and building and upgrading the buildings). And that players are able to invest in the defenses of the port by upgrading the fortress and defensive towers, being required to help pay for the marines/soldiers in those towers, maybe even the NPC fleets guarding the port (possibly). Seeing the change in OW would be wonderful. Would love to see the impact from weather on these things also.

    Yes please!

  4. After review, the only real thing that would make this forum more efficient for players is to have 2 Main Boards called Naval Action - National Wars and Piracy (one for each server), both with the National News and the Guild, Clans and Trading Companies. That alone would help tremendously, rather than having to sort through each topic looking for which server the poster is referring to.

  5. Last week's full map is up.

    The month of Sept was full of crazy, full of protests, and full of abandonment. The crazy was seeing the Pirates taking advantage of and complete control of Britain crushing them to only their capital.

    Britain to the Pirates, "We were friends for months, now you're taking advantage of me?"

    Pirates reply, "Ssshhh, yes, just let it happen," as he places his toothbrush in the holder.

    British protests continued the entire month long during the great British Civil War. This led to the map wipe that the Pirates enforced. Perhaps Britain will rise once again, but who will be their alliance helping them regain their previous Caribbean dominance they had just months ago? No body knows.

    The Colonials felt quite a bit of pressure all month long from the many numbers who abandoned their posts in the Yucatan and went rogue. First there were those who simply stated that they wanted a change of pace. It made a bit of sense, until the US noticed the loss of 5 full fleets who felt this same need to join the Pirates. It is still a topic of debate as to which "nation" has the largest active population. But every nation can feel the effects from such a mass exodus, save the Danes. And considering the inactivity between the Pirates and the Danes, it is apparent that there must be some sort of friendship between them.

    Only time will tell what is next in store for the PvP2 world as we all await the new PB update due this month.

     

    Here is the current tally after a massive week of PvP and PB swapping:

    PI - 119    v 9

    ES - 5       - 0

    FR - 15    v 1

    GB - 4     v 1

    VP - 26    ^ 4

    DN - 44    - 0

    SV - 1       - 0

    US - 117  ^ 7

     

    If you find any of this interesting and maybe even enticing, join us on the PvP2 server. And if you're already on the PvP2 server with a clan not listed and linked to in this OP, please reply with your clan's info in the following format:

    Nation:

    [Clan Tag] - Clan Name:

    Clan website or game-labs recruitment thread:

    Active Member Count:

    (And as always....if you don't have a recruitment thread or clan signature banner, msg me and I can make one...for an in-game price   :))

  6. Finally, after facing 4 Pirate Frigates in 4 different occasions (sank 2 by accident, 1 escaped, 1 sank me), I finally capture one. Much thanks to [bLACK]7Grams, who could've left the port battle, but stayed and fought to the death. And thanks to the US [NPG] fleet for including me in the PB.

    Behold:

    The Pirate Frigate aptly renamed -

    U.S.S Duplicitous

  7. I think Turners HMS Temeraire is the most evocative Painting,you really get the sadness of the loss of such a beautiful Ship being towed to its eventual demise by the thing that would replace Sail and revoloutionise Naval Warfare......................Steam!

     

    800px-Turner_J._M._W._-_The_Fighting_Tea

    Indeed. This painting has to be not only one of the most famous paintings of age of sail ships, but also one of the most sad. From this we see the end of an era, and the beginning of the modern age of naval warfare. It's the defining painting that shows precisely where my interest is and is not.

  8. May I suggest you create more topics: one for each server that has pertinent topics like Diplomacy, Guilds, National News for each nation, etc. (layout below)

    PvP2 Board

        - International News

              - Diplomacy

              - Tournaments

              - Weekly Reviews

        - Dutch National Thread

              - Fleet/Guild Recruitment

              - Dutch News

    (or something of the like)

     

    Also create a board specific for the dev tournaments?

    plz n ty

  9. How is that out numbered?  I counted 7 more ships on the Brit/US side?  Don't tell me your like the Dutch and don't count AI?   If there is a ship in the battle it counts, but it might be just why you guys and them keep loosing PvP fights when you out number us.  Cause hate to say it AI can be pretty stupid and some times hurt you in a fight when they go full retard mode.

     

     

     

    Having fought on the US side I know for fact NPG had admitted to showing up many times in basic ships with no mods.  Let me tell you a little secret.  OUR PORT BATTLE SHIPS ARE FITTED FOR JUST THAT TO FIGTH AND FIGHT HARD.  Most of them are tanked out with good mod set ups and ready for a brawl.  While we have other ships for PvP play.     We aren't affraid to loose our ships and will fight to the last man if need be.  That is why we win fights.  Way to many of our victories have been when we are out number and as soon as we start to sink some one the other team runs and breaks down and every one starts escaping.   Funny it's getting so common we actually know who to expect to pop and escape first in the battle.

    Not certain why this sort of response. I gave credit exactly to what you felt the need to regurgitate.

    except...i disagree that the AI rate of ship matters. Few of us are about to crew a fleet of high rate ships, and therefore we have cheap little ones that sink from one broadside. How they actually count, makes no sense to me. but ohwell, to each their own opinion.
