  1. Hello everybody. I wanted to tell you guys something. Once i started to play naval action [ a few years ago ] they told me that i am the first kid here. At first i was afraid.. what might people say? What might they think of me? As some of you may know , i have showed bad attitude a few years ago sometimes. I was angry... and did not have myself under controlle. I have improved though. Allthough , i am still a kid [14 years old]. Looking at my school , there are bullies. Most kids put a mask [ figurely ] on and they act like they are cunts. They are mean to people , they bully , they lie , they stab eacother in the back. I see it happening in school everyday. After a year.. i desided that i never wanted to see a kid in naval action. The reason is because they will put that mask on again [ figurely]. They are insecure and they are afraid of adults. I have seen that they are.. they barely dared to talk to parents from eachother. So they will do those things i have said before here too. Now lets get to the point here , i think this community is lovely , sweet people , nice people  , if you are reading this , you are awesome , know that. But kids will destroy this community. Yesterday in the evening i was in a naval action legends battle. On 2 sides the battle was going on. I left from the right side to the left side to help my friend out , he asked if i could help him defeat a brig. After that.. wen the fight was almost over.. i almost won..then there was this one person.. who went for the cirkel and won because of taking the cirkel. He said: HAHAHAHAHHA! MORON! I asked him why he didnt fight.. and why he fled from battle. Then he lied by saying this: YOU WERE THE ONE RUNNING THE WHOLE TIME MORON! From this moment on i knew he was a kid. Normally... after i win or after i get beaten.. i say: good battle! Good job! Well played mate! :) But this kid attacked me right away..[with words]. After that i was annoyed and wanted to make sure that this awesome community will not fall because of kids who are triggered. After that me and Liq spoke about it in the chat or a short while. He said this: Dont worry Timo , these kids just go here and see its not a simple CoD were you get everything you want in one day , they will all leave soon. Allthough many will join right now because of legends.. but they will leave soon. [I have asked Liq if i was allowed to say his name]. I gotta say: I hope he is right. First of all i do think he is right , kids want simple games they can compleet in a few days. But i also hope he is right... otherwise kids are gonna destroy this community with their cruel behavior. They will take any chance to bring you down if that makes them better. I am not saying all kids are like this , because not all kids are like this. And i would be happy if those kids who are not like this would join our community.. but those who are like this.. i hope they will leave soon. I love this community and i love the people here. I dont want you guys to get your feelings hurt by some stupid kids. I just wanted to say this to you guys.. have a great day :).

    The votes between the leaders in the initial poll were pretty close at 139-140-112, but now Montanes has a huge lead 42-97-60.  It seems like an oddly large shift in the numbers, with no obvious reason for people to change preferences so suddenly.

    I do agree on that... it could be that people made fake accounts or something?

    Seeing how the results have shifted a bit from the previous poll I'm curious whether there's any subterfuge going on...  :ph34r:

     

    Because people dont vote that much for Temeraire anymore? Because your French? Maybe people saw after their votes in the previous poll that voting for the Temeraire was not such a good and fun idea. But... thats just my theory.. not saying its true.

    I would love to play with 2 others , i got the whole next week free. Allthough.. dont think anyone would want to play with me XD. And i dont have ship. So sadly enough i cant play :/

    Frankly speaking I would simply just love to see in some form or another a window for the Naval Wars of the Second half of the seventeenth century...the great battles of the Second and Third Anglo dutch Wars and the Battles of Barfleur and La Hogue. In fact that could even work in a co-op single player iteration of this game similar to Total War Empire/Napoleon. In fact the Ingermanland has the same lines as ships of that period.

    I totally agree. That would be awesome :D.

    I'm sorry but I have to beg to differ: your statement is seriously a bridge too far. I have yet to see in the historic record any average frigate taking on any Ship of the Line baring perhaps 4th and 5th rates. Most if not all English 2nd rate Ships of the Line of 90 guns of the latter 17th century carried 32 pounders as main armament and 18 pounders on the middle gundeck. Gun technology was virtually unchanged between then and Trafalgar with perhaps the exception of the flintlock firing mechanism. Frigates were never designed to withstand the pounding of Ships of the Line, regardless of era, hence the term. They could hold their own in a line of battle where Frigates could not. And I am sorry I do not buy the: but the frigate can outsail and outmaneuver any man o' war. Naval Action excludes entirely the impact of Marines at the rails and the hell they would rain down on any frigate's weather decks reducing maneuverability to wishful thinking...and all it would take in one broadside...(refer French Frigate at The Nile)

    ship balance indeed, in terms of :

    • broadside weight (1st Rate Le Soleil Royal with 110 guns is the equivalent of in-game 2nd Rate Pavel with 82 guns) as ships got more and more powerful with time
    • speed, strength...

    However, I'd really like to a new map or a dedicated zone in the current map for older ships (XVIIth to early-XVIIIth century).

    The unfortunate reality is we have ships for 150 years past the Soleil Royal (picking on it as an example) and ship design and armament improved dramatically in that time period. A 74 like the Bellona from the late 18th century is going to outgun the 104-gun French ship, much less the equivalent rating like Victory or taking into account things like dramatically improved (read: bigger) rigs, better seakeeping, etc. That is the balance mentioned and why 17th century ships don't work.

    Well, because even a 2nd rate from the 17th would be utterly destroyed by an average 18-lb.'er frigate from the early 19th century.  Sailing attributes, construction and gun construction and accuracy had developed so much in the time-frame.  It's kind of like a automobile race between a F1 car and a model T...  

    Looking at the reactions , i understand know why 17th centurys ships cant be in the same area with 18th century ships. Thanks. But what would be amazing , as you guys say , make a special map for naval action. And for naval action legends , wen you pick a 17th century ships , you can only go in battle with other 17th century ships.

    Because "balance"...

     

    If you mean balance in the meaning of ship balance , i understand why you say this. Still... we have lots of 18th century ships , which makes sense and they are beautiful. But i dont see how there would be unbalancment wen 17th century ships would be able to join in too. Yes... there would be the double amount of ships for vote-ship poll options.. but its all about what the people want. If they want 5 17th century ships in the poll and 15 18th century ships , then its their choise. I dont see how it would work against anyone :).

  9. Hello Everyone. I wanted to tell/ask something. The time frame of ships in-game/that are possible to be in game are ships that are build in 1690-1820. This means we will get lots of 18th century ships , gotta love them. Dont get me wrong , i love 18th century ships , they look awesome , the sailing is amazing. They all have something great. Gotta love those ships. But what i was wondering: Why not make the time frame a little...wider? With this "wider" effect i mean: 17th century ships. 

    Reason: I personally love the 18th century ships , they are awesome in all kinds of ways. They are natural beauties. All kinds of 18th century ship-rates have their own benefit. Its great. But.. as some other people have explained in other Topics , lots of 18th century ships look the same. With this i dont mean the collour , but the design. Example: We got the L'Ocean , beautiful ship , i sailed with it and fought with it , its amazing. Its such a lovely ship. Then theres the Santisima Trinidad , same thing , i love the look of it , its great in battle , lots of cannons , amazing. But here's were my point joins in: the design of both ships is pretty simillair. Again , dont think i dont like the 18th century designs , i think they are amazing. But because they look so simillair and we have lots of those kinds of ships , i would love to see some other kids of designs. This is one of the reasons why i love the 5th rate ship of the line: La Renommee. It has kind of the same design , but the back is way different. And i think its gorgeous. Same thing with The Ingermanland , i love the ship even more because its a different kind of design. Especially in the back. Ofcourse , how a ship looks is not the only thing that matters , how their abilities proof in battle and in sailing is a very import example too. Ofcourse , 18th century ships were more developed , but 17th century ships are good in sailing. Looking at the fact of how a ship reacts on the sea , doesnt really matter in this case. But i would love to see 17th century ships in-game. I will take some examples to show you.

    Le Soleil Royal (1670)

    Soleil_Royal_2.thumb.jpg.ccecc8f6e363b4d2e44c518fee5ed71d.jpg

     I choose the photo of the back , because the back is were it matters about most in this Topic. Just look at this ship. Its beautiful and very different from the ships we have in game right now. And for those who want a back story , its their too.

    Back Story: She was build in Brest between 1668 and 1670 by engineer Laurent Hubac. She was launched in 1669 and stayed in Brest harbour for years.She was recommissioned with 112 guns and 1200 men when the Nine years war broke out in 1688 as the flagship of the escadre du Ponant (squadron of the West). She was said to be a good sailing ship and her decorations were amongst the most beautiful and elaborate of all baroque flagships. The emblem of the "sun" had been chosen by Louis XIV as his personal symbol.

    One more example:

    Seven Provinces (Zeven Provinciën) 1665-1694

    Model.thumb.jpg.bbc73e0235734ef1821d2783bc977738.jpg

    I got the same reason for the photo from the back: Matters the most in this Topic. Just look at her.. she is beautiful. The Seven provinces is my personal favorite ship. She looks stunning , has lots of cannons , and sails like she rules over the seven seas. But thats not all.. she has one hell of a back story too.

    Back Story: The Seven Provinces was a line ship of 'de Admiraliteit van de Maze' with  80 cannons on board , the name was also writen as: '7 provinciën'. The ship had a lenght of 163 foot and was 43 foot wide , and had a cavity of 16,5 foot. The men were with more then 420. The ship was build in 1664-1665 on admiral site at the 'HaringVliet' of Rotterdam. The builder of the ship was: Salomon Jansz van den Tempel. It began her carreer as flagship of  viceadmiraal Aert Jansse Van Ness. After that it became the flag ship of luitenant-admiraal Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter (1666-1674). She fought at 'de Vierdaagse zeeslag' at  North Foreland (1666). She also fought at the 'Tweedagse zeeslag' (1666) , and at 'Toch van Chatham' (1667). And in the seccond English war. The ship also fought at 'Slag bij Solebay' (1672) , the 'dubbele slag bij Schooneveld' and at the 'Slag bij Kijkduin' (1673). In 1674 it went on expidition under controll of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter. After the death [ kiling of the Prince of orange] of Admiral michiel de ruyter it became the flag ship of Schout-Bij-Nacht Jan Van Brakel in 1678. In 1691 Johan snellen got the ship under controll. He died the same year on board. It also participated in the English/Dutch fleet in 1691 under the command of Edward Russel. In 1692 it got shot by the french and it caused a leak in the battle of Barfleur en La Hougue , the ship sailed back to port. After that it got sold in 1694. This is the reason i call her... unsikable , because she has never bin sunk ;).

    So why not 'wide' the time frame out to the 17th century:D

    Not a very interesting career for the wreeker class... the other third rates at least have something to tell. The most noticiable thing is that they were used by the french. No action, no battles.

    That might be so , but right now we are not looking for ships with a huge back story. We are looking for factions without many ships. We are looking for unique ships. The Dutch have no ship yet , while it were one of the biggest naval factions of those times. Thats why lots of people vote on wreker , because its dutch.

    I haven't voted yet. I think I won't. For the first time. I haven't found my happiness, a ship I'd like to sail with. So I will let the passionate ones vote. :)

    I understand , and i think its a good decision then :D  , theres one ship i would really like to see , but it will never be in game. I am thinking about buying a model ship of it. Its called: Le Soleil Royal. She was build in Brest between 1668 and 1670 by engineer Laurent Hubac. She was launched in 1669 and stayed in Brest harbour for years.She was recommissioned with 112 guns and 1200 men when the Nine years war broke out in 1688 as the flagship of the escadre du Ponant (squadron of the West). She was said to be a good sailing ship and her decorations were amongst the most beautiful and elaborate of all baroque flagships.

    Venus carries 40 guns and for now is in front among the frigates.

    Seven frigates already implemented in game carry between 38 and 42 guns : the Surprise, the Cherubim, la Belle Poule, the Pirate Frigate, the Essex, Santa Cecilia and the Hermione !!!

    Why not, instead of voting for the Venus, vote for a frigate that might fill in one of these gaps :

    • Light frigates 32-36 guns
    • Heavy frigates 50-60 guns ?

    Hello , i think your a very experienced ship knowner. Now , looking at the ships that are in this poll , which one would you like to see the most? I am really interested in your opinion , because i think your a very nice man and your knowlegde of ships is big , way bigger then mine , so i would like to hear your vote and the reasons :) ?

    Unfortunately only one ship is expected to be chosen at the  end of the poll, if  I ain't mistaken. :)

    But IMHO if three ships were to be chosen, I'd rather have one per gap :

    I understand and i do agree :D That would be amazing. One day the dutch will have a ship.. but that is not this day. Allthough , if the spanish ship or France ship wins , i still would not be dissapointed , the french and spanish ships are amazing. Example: The La Renommee , she's a beautifull ship and very use able for almost anything. Gotta love her. :)

  14. Is it possible that all 3 ships above 100 vote will join the game? Cause on 3 ships lots of votes have bin dropped and i would love to see a dutch ship in game :D I personally think the france and spanish ships are beautiful and amazing , just like the dutch. Still i would like a dutch ship now :D But thats my opinion :) Allthough all those ships above 100 votes are amazing :D

    The Téméraire class is the most produced class of all time, you can't imagine an Age of Sail game without this class, it's like World of Tanks without a Sherman or a FPS without AKs.
    Think about it.

    I understand , and i agree. But still.. there are more french ships then dutch or spanish , i will prefer a dutch or a spanish ship above a french.

    Admin said they were specifically looking for underrepresented nations.  Spain would fit in there, but honestly if a Dutch, Portuguese, Venetian, or Maltese vessel is not a primary pick then I will be very put out.

    Essentially what would be the point of asking specifically for those national ships if you're going to allow suggestions of other nations that are already well represented?

    Aye,  i agree🙂
