  1. And if crafting wasn't half RNG and we could select the 2nd trim like speed desired and the number of upgrades slots on ships by adding more notes or whatever to start with, it's hard enough to get a ship fitting what you need without having to do a dozen of them by rolling a dice each time you press the craft button to see those getting one dura only on the top of this ..

    This is good. +1

  2. r u willing to help non US players

     

    my skills r rusty

     

    any help would be appreciated

    You LIE! Your skills are just fine. heh. :) But, we have to be in a group to join the same mission, and I'm not certain other nations can join the group. If not, maybe we can search a NPC fleet out and join on the same side tho? What do you think Nyurtle?

  3. Okay, I honestly hope the Devs read this and take it to heart. I think I will talk for many of us here. I will try to keep it short.

     

    1: Fleets are a great idea but...

            Can you please not make us destroy guns and modules when moving a ship to the fleet.

            Can you make it possible to add a trader with all its goods into your fleet after it was captured without having to take command of the trader itself.

     

    2: Selling ships:

            Why do you need to remove all mods and guns on a ship before you can sell it?

            Give us the ability to sell a customized ship.

            Also, instead of destroying permanent mods in order to remove them, give the option to spend allot of gold to remove and keep the mod. At least let us keep some of the materials.

     

    3: Capturing Ships:

            When capturing a ship, xp rewards are next to nothing, especially when the enemy surrenders, please fix that.

            When capturing a ship and morale of the enemy drops to 0 with still some sailors on board, add them to our crew, in short. Please make enemy crew capturable. When the enemy surrenders, all crew should be added to your maximum available crew, or they could be ransomed when getting back to port.

    All good points. I like.

  4. If they remove the coward perk because ganker rats are crying like babies, then they better remove the rat ability to attack each other and they better remove hiding in battle results screen. and they better extend the battle entrance timer.

    I have no sympathy for any rat ever crying about game mechanics, especially when they use the ones they cry about. In fact, if I were a dev, I would remove any mechanics from any person who doesn't want that mechanic, yet leave it for everyone else. Don't like fleets eh? Removed from you, but no one else. Don't like coward perk, gone from you, but stays for everyone else. That would teach you whiny gankers who do nothing but prey on single ships and run from more that one to sthu.

    Bounty's Nation: rat scourge

    Bounty's [ClanTag] IGN: No tag - Storm Crow
    Last Known Port: La Orchilla
    Reason: In my Trinc, while trying to meet up with a mate, I saw him in a Merc and purposely left him alone, then he ported up and grabbed a Trinc w/ 2 Trinc escorts and chased me down. 2nd reason, for losing a Trinc escort and nearly losing the first boarding, then grabbing more crew from a Trinc escort and almost losing the 2nd boarding. 3rd reason, because he was too much of a chicken to fight 1v1 and always has to fight with the upper-hand. 4th reason, for complaining that fleet ships are ruining the game, yet uses them himself. 5th reason, because he is a rat that thinks he ever has a right to complain about officer perks making it unfair for rats. 6th reason, because he exists.
    Any Additional Info: Capture him and give me his ship for 300,000 bonus, otherwise, sink him and his escorts.

  6. I don't believe it is killing the PvP game at all. It is annoying that someone can escape while I'm reloading after I just hit them with a full broadside, and I believe that the timer is a bit too short, but "killing the game"??? Nah...nothing kills this game more than ganker rats being able to attack each other to get away from a gank defense force. Now THAT is killing the game.

  7. no you still dont. Just because you have smuggler on doesnt mean you can attack. If you do you still go pirate. Only they can attack you and not go pirate

    Really? This I will have to test. It should still give the warning once you click the attack button.

  8. New map is up for Mon - Sun action.

    Recap:

    • Pirates concede southern ports to Dutch and French and Central Amer ports to Brits
    • Pirates invade US and spread north to Savannah
    • Brits take ports in Yucatan
    • US scrambles to defend against the pirates
    • A general Accord of Nations has formed to prevent nations from being wiped off the map

  9. Erick is right the US have so many ports that they don't know what to do. Pirates have shown initiative and given the Dutch and French back ports so new players joining the game can level and craft and trade and have a good time.

    Indeed and good show mates.

    I have mentioned numerous times in global why did the US take Spain's ports? They only had a few and US had 160 or so at the time.

    There were many reasons, none of them valid imho. I want Spain back on the map and hope that the rest of the US will agree and comply to the terms stated in the thread below:

    http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/15374-meeting-of-nations-to-discuss-small-nation-sustainability/?p=286069

    I can tell you from a Pirate point of view we don't care about ports we just want to fight you guys because we are sick of empty PB's hence why the big battle at Key West happened. Did you ever think we wanted to plant the flag? Do you think we want the ports the only way US fight is if we pull a flag because you guys have become so obsessed with land.

    :) And we are seeing the results of such obsessions.

    Talking to other US players who have left to go Pirate or other nations they are over your in house politics over there. I suggest appointing crankyman as your nations leader as I've been told numerous times he thinks he is, plus we love taking his first rates and watching him type crap in global. Very inspirational stuff.

     

     

    I like how you said rat scourge. Havnt the Brits been taking boats off you guys or is it just the rats? Kinda curious. Or is the hatred just rats?

    Against me, the Brits seem to enjoy sinking me or getting sunk by others. I believe boarding is a rarity when battling Brtis, unless it's 10v2 for them, as what happened a week or so ago south of Serrana. I'm unaware of other's engagements with the Brits. And no, there is no hatred toward the rats. Disdain perhaps, but no hatred. :D

  10. Agree comply and support this effort my only bone to pick is... i'm not in clan fear lol. -Watch 

    good job man appreciate your extra efforts to solve these dilemas.

    Thank you mate, fixed the clan tag. Not sure wtf I was thinking.

  11. Oftentimes, getting hit hard is a good thing, believe it or not.

     

    Let's be frank, the US on PVP2 is overextended. We suffered this same problem on PVP1. Frankly you're faring a lot better than we did.

    Eeehhh wait til you see the map tomorrow

  12. ALL CALL TO THE US NATION: Join the cause and liberate the US east coastline!

     

    It has come to the attention of many PBers that the US is lacking untiy among the fleets (clans). I hear often the phrase "too many chiefs, not enough indians." I tend to disagree with this, but completely agree there is a lack of unity. If you watch this recent 1st rate PvP battle on the PvP1 server, you will see there were plenty of clans represented in the battle, yet all of them followed the commands of one caller. Well done PvP1 Brits.

    Please watch this video and train your fleet members in this manner:

     

    We have recently had meetings which included leaders from multiple fleets over this need for unity and have made nominations of generals / commander in chiefs and combat officers / callers. I am asking all fleet leaders if we are still in this agreement and that we have agreed to a joint TS server.

     

    The general consensus was appointing Minnow and [FEAR]oldcrankyman as our generals in charge of general map strategy. Their objective is to suggest ports that we need OPs in. They'd also appoint combat callers for our PvP and PB engagements. Current suggestions for combat callers are [WATCH]Nyurtle and [uSCCG]WH Knight; others have been suggested also; contact Minnow or oldcrankyman if interested.

     

    It is imperative that not only do we have unity among the fleets, but also that we have a supply chain of ships needed for our Rear Admirals and Commodores. We need a list of level 49 and 50 crafters who will commit to building 1st rates, not just for their own clan, or to horde them in their shipyards, but to supply our PvPers and PBers.

     

    So what is needed of you, the respected US sailor?

    • Always keep an OP in Charleston.
    • Always keep one OP free to set up in location selected by our generals.
    • In these suggested OPs, always have on hand one 1st rate and one 4th rate ship.
    • Always bring the proper rate ship to battle.
    • If you are a level 49 or 50 crafter, always offer to build ships at a reasonable price for Rear Admirals and Commodores.
    • If you are not a level 49 or 50 crafter, always offer your labor hours and materials to the high level crafters for 1st rate ships.
    • STOP selling 1st-3rd rate ships at free ports!
    • Always offer discounts on 1st-3rd rate ships to US citizens before selling at a US port.
    • STOP losing your 1st-3rd rate ships in missions! Reserve 1st rates for PvP and PBs.

    The only way the US will recover from this rat scourge is with unity among the fleet leaders. Can this be achieved before we collapse any further? As one nation unified we will!

     

    If you are a US fleet leader and agree with this, please submit your agreement in writing as a reply. TY.

    As an aside, I don't think there are any active members left of the original KRABS clan.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong.  I left after several days playing without anyone else in the clan logging in.

    TY added your clan name and marked out KRABS. Hope we see your fleet grow.

     

    And to anyone following this thread, please consider contributing to this multi-national alliance we are trying to form on PvP2
