The more I play with this patch...the more I like it. Had some interesting pvp with pve battles at the front lines before port battles are set. Only issue is with crew. Just 10-20% less would be okay.

Was just thinking. How stale it currently is. For an example. Bridgetown . There has been 3 port battles so far and the British are strict and show up with a constant 25 Victories. Hence. This situation will go on forever unless there is some sort of procedure.
Have it so there is a 3 zone battle in the sectors. 2 circles are open to all ships . 25 max on each side. from cutter on up to 1st rate.
The goal is to advance for those who make it through into the actual port battle with hopefully the forts update installed.
Those whom make it through and win one or both initial port battle entrance will advance to the finals with that ship and with the damage installed. The defender will have the always advantage of Forts (when they will be implemented). The ship will be locked and you will get a notice of upcoming port battle finale.
This increase player participation and requires skill and putting the right ships in.
so. Port battle commences on notice. 2 open port battles of 25 each with no forts. The winner will be decided by the new upcoming zone winner.
Those that win the zone will advance into the harbor and fight what ever remains with the fortifications being the big advantage at this point.

Okay. Figured out a good solution . cost and extra outpost but works well when moving 200 fine live oak.

Simple. Keep Free Ports but only trader ships can be docked and undocked there (historically accurate) . This would prevent many things. 1. More pvp and more map strategic in steps. 2. no more dock ganking at free ports when traders come and go. Gankers now have to travel to a free port.
Then I can live with Las Tortugas as a free port for trading. However...ganking traders near capitals will be more time consuming for travel but....historically accurate. (I personally feel Pirates should be able to dock anything at freeports but not be able to conquer territories..only ports 1 at a time).

1) Tumbado is not that much further away
2) Spain has more ports than any other nation to trade from.
3) My stance with this new patch has been to focus less on operating out of the Capital and use another port for most of my business.
4) it might be better to use shallow ships over large traders, I live on a traders brig with rattles for escorts. They are faster and can access more ports, even though they carry less. If I am caught it is less of a loss for me than to carry everything at one. Get capped on an Indiaman and you're gonna have a rough time.
*Disclaimer - this is my play style and my opinions. If you would rather move as much cargo as possible, that's your right. I prefer sailing further for a larger return, only then would I use something like an LGV.
Umm....Yeah. Was transporting 1000 fine teak in a fast traders brig with 2 rattle escorts and got jumped by 2 super fast endymions .....I cannot trade out of Las Tortugas anymore. It is the worst Port ever
-
Please get rid of shallows at Las Tortugas or put town facing south. It is the hardest Free port near Capital to trade. Every other nation has it easy. Especially the British now. This is totally unfair ...

Key West was a trading port. One of the very few FREE PORTS historically. Las Tortugas was a pirate haven. Not a town. at least get rid of the shallows or have a south entrance or eliminate all warships from free ports. simple as that.
Every nation has an easy trading free port near their capital except SPAIN.

Well.. CONFIRMED. Las Tortugas is a nightmare to trade from. Worst port ever.
-
Only reason why I invest time in this game as I helped develop the same framework they are using (POTBS). But this patch just makes me furious. A long time gamer and beta tester of many successful games. But this is just pointless to convince some Ukrainians to get it right. Pointless

Las Tortugas is the worst trading port. You have ruined this game for Spain.

This patch really has me bummed out to be honest. Struggling to find almost any positives to draw from it. Don't like the dramatically increased crew damage, the new wood types, massive time sinks, regional ship bonuses, and many, many others. Perhaps the most demoralizing is that it seems we just re-invented the wheel again instead of making some minor tweaks that people were asking for. 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
I agree. And especially not warn us of any of these changes. I lost a lot of great ships I had for sale but were there due to space for map reset. This is definitely 2 steps back. Not liking this at all.
-
revert to pre patch IMHO.
-
lost a victory in 10 minutes. They decrewed me quick. Down to 80 with only my backside exposed a bit. Yikes.

Spain was on Vacation in August. Towns are empty in August. No one was online. Was a good time to hold a peace treaty til we all get back online. Well.. Spain is back and getting stronger.

I run a English speaking clan and there are many coming over from PVP2. Myself included. We need more US players to fight and trade when Europe is asleep. Not 2 empty servers.
I have no ping issues and have been in huge 25 to 25 battles and no one in my clan has complained. It is about time to merge.

Makes no sense having 2 servers imho. Like the post above.. Its almost deserted with only 200 players on PVP1. This is when USA and Pirates should be active.

well. Since the devs are refusing to put protections zone in free ports , Entering and exiting Las Tortugas will be a nightmare and a huge bonus for those gankers sitting at port.
So..This will eliminate all trading outside of Habana as it will be too easy to tag a trader coming into Las Tortugas while sitting at port.
Either put a protection zone in free towns as they should be. No Free town would allow ships to attack other ships and be able to return back to port. Either eliminate warships from Free Towns , or put protection zones for free towns or ...eliminate them all.
Besides, there wasn't even a town there in Las Tortugas back in 1812.
-
Please do not move Key West. There is no logic in this move at all. Go look at history. Go to the islands and you will see that this makes no sense at all. If you make this move. I am forced to quit this game forever as I do not see how SPAIN can survive let alone put up a duke fest with the British.
This is a wrong and bad move both historically and game wise. I have been a beta tester for many games but if this is what you do to games near release then I will have no part in this game.
-
So what is a social jerk gonna do without his perk?
We were having fun and I called it the Habana Social Club. All Invited.
-
Thus my stinking point. Las Tortugas was a pirate haven but no town. Go there and see for yourself. Trading was done in Key West and still is...So.. Why.... no really..Why change historical fact into fiction to fit within your ideals of a Map.
-
I understand now. No whole port reset but just within the lines of control. No wonder the British and Dutch are fighting the Spanish so hard.
-
Las Tortugas has a horrible entry and exit due to shallow waters. Historically Key West was a trading town and Las Tortugas was a fortress so...I don't undertand this move at all.
There is no reason to change key west.

May I remind you that when there is a port reset, We (SPAIN) will have no allies but enemies as the only way to secure our port. . Spain will control most of the map for that first 12 hours.
I would think that in all best interest , would be to wage all out war on England by all nations. Convincing USA will be easy but convincing the orange cloggers will be tougher.
Time to spin some Dutch windmills.

Increase the ship speed by every ship including AI with a simple code in open water by 10% .. maybe increase battle speed every ship by 5%?
Need to speed up the game somewhat , especially open water. I am sure this has been discussed but needs some comments. so .... Please COMMENT!
