    Good grief this is ridiculous. They aren't forcing anyone to pay extra to keep playing. I may be entirely wrong but this doesn't even sound like an expansion pack situation, where only those who pay get the extra ships. It reads like if others do fund the kickstarter and you do nothing, you'll end up with the chance to acquire the added ships too. I don't see how it could be any other way without specifically preventing the kickstarter ships from being capped during combat. How confusing would that be?

    I'm totally satisfied with the 38+ ships we have and how they look, but others aren't as well adjusted as me ;). So those people are being given a chance to personally contribute to the development and 3D modelling needed to add yet more US ships and enhance the Constitution's appearance. Doing this only enhances Naval Action and will help to make it more popular when it goes to full release. Especially if other nationality ship packs are created through kickstarter too.

    If you don't want to contribute to the kickstarter, don't. I don't care if you do or don't, and I doubt anyone else does either.

    If you still have an issue with the entire concept then kindly go troll elsewhere. :angry:

    I work with 3ds max. If I pass as specifications I will be happy to model new ships

    I can tell you, as a person that has done purely PVE for hte last ~6 months, Missions killed it, I have said it for a while now, Missions need to go. Missions make it feel more like a task to do rather than a hunt and depreciates the Open World aspect of PVE.

    I agree with you. But there must be balance. There must be things in the PVE that is not just trade.

  2. Wanted to post the update on the summer plans but this post summarizes everything pretty nicely.

     

    Deploying the patch we learnt one thing - it was still a right decision to delay UI until all important features are added into the game. With officers and crew in particular it became very obvious that a huge rework of fleets/officers and fleet cargo management is needed and if we had a ready beautiful UI we would have to do a lot of work again. House is painted after it is built - please share this info with everyone who is concerned about the interface.

     

    Regarding AI fleets. we know many players are concerned and we will be looking to cover for those concerns by creative compromise.

    Remember that if you remove features someone loves - it can become a slippery slope where eventually all features will be removed just because someone hates them.

    If you love the fleets - post in the respective topics.

     

    besides, commanding fleet is historically correct.
     
    flag captain means just that

  3. please tell me there is some ACTUAL new on the merger front, like can we get something that resembles a timeline and a date, the one thing the devs have completely screwed themselves on is their inability to say anything but vague and generalized statements. which has killed alot of the player base off.

     

    So, how about some actual information instead of generalization where the players agonize and interpret a non information statement into whatever their hopes or fears are.

     

    I do not know if I understand very well (my English is very bad), but this is what you looking for?
     
     
    Well, I agree that perhaps lacking a specific date there (the day) ....
  4. Why are people talking about release? This game is no where near release ready and I am sure the Devs know that(at least I hope they do)

    All so far down the list from making the game work right first:) plus that detail on animation in combat in a 25v25 would lock up Sooo many PCs:)

    Basta acrescentar um item nas configurações gráficas para que o jogador possa escolher o nível de detalhes de acordo com a capacidade do seu computador. Computadores mais poderosos podem ter mais tripulação animada. Podem ser inseridas também outros detalhes (barcos, cordas, bolas...)
     
    A qualidade dos navios é ótima, mas realmente sem tripulação parece que navegamos um navio fantasma  :lol:

  5. I guess it's a matter of correct reporting via f11. I'm sure the devs will address this. But expect things like this to happen - remember we're in alpha stage.

    As I said, I reported the error (F11). The devs have already answered that durability will be restored.
     
    Really we are in alpha stage, and inconveniences may occur (and probably will). The player who buys a game in alpha stage have to understand that.
     
    However, there are things even in alpha stage may not happen. Losing an item that cost a lot to win is one of those things.
     
    We all know that the process of achievements within the game is slow. Losing a ship that took a month to buy leaves no angry player.
     
    Either way, the response of devs was rapid. I thank them.
  6. The same thing happened to me today. I was playing and fell connection (internet was ok) and reconnect I had lost the battle.

     

    In my case I did not lose the ship, but I ended up at the port and lost durability. I reported the error, and hope to recover the damage

     

    I understand that we are developing, but losing a durability of SOL can not happen even in alpha stage.

  7. These updates will take?

     

    I confess that I'm starting to get bored with the game. In conversation with some friends also players the feeling is the same ...

     

    The truth is that sadly the PVE is completely abandoned, to the detriment of PVP. No varied missions without greater immersion without its own fleet without decent trade ...

     

    For a change, when it appears a cool idea that will bring greater immersion and realism, PVP staff do not like because they think it will "take too long"

     

    It's really sad ... Before you even buy the game (just seeing the videos on youtube) I have imagined that this would be one of today's best MMO, but unfortunately it seems that the game does not evolve ... seriously thinking to occupy space on my HD with something better ...

     

    Sorry for bad english and the sincere outburst

  8. It looks fantastic, much more realistic, however:

     

    1 - acquisition fleets must have a limit, only to larger vessel support (one Bellona + two frigates to support or Trincomalee + one Mercury)

     

    2 - will be difficult to return to port at the end of each battle. Perhaps better tune the role of crew morale, to obtain the captured crew to operate the ship captured.

     

    3 - I believe that now is the time to use the slots of officers to control the crew.

     

    4 - should be possible to transfer the crew. If you are attacked on the way back to the port, you can transfer the ship's crew captured for your ship and go to fight with the complete crew. You may lose the captured ship, but will have greater chances of keeping his own ship.

     

    5 - want to keep the captured ship? take it back to port. Not to sail to the port? Give it to the admiralty and miss the ship (only receive a reward).

     

     

    On the issue of having its own fleet, they are thinking only of the PVP and forget the PVE. Have you ever thought how bad face four frigates with your Bellona in PVE without any support, taking broadsides in the ass all the time?

     

    Some date forecast of this new patch?

     

    Again sorry for the horrible English

  9. Current view is this: we dont want 3rd rates and up capturable from NPCs - in reality a captured lineships will be taken over by the government anyway. 

     

    in regard of features that someone things will be breaking the game we have changed our position.

     

    The best way to improve the game is to focus on suggesting the features you already love so we can add more on them. Fleets were loved by a large group of players, just like ship capture. If we continue removing the features that you hate and someone loves we will eventually start removing features that you love. If this continues eventually all features will be removed in this way. 

     

    perfect words!
