    No. I want two WORKING vessels for 4 very expensive perk points

    * have crafted mods be able to alter the Fleet ships

    * bring back end of battle Towing. Was an awesome feature that is greatly missed. If I already have two ships in  fleet and capture ship I would like to have the choice to put that ship in my fleet or send it back to base. I would still be in the ocean and still be vulnerable for PVP so I don't see this as being detrimental to that.

    * switching ships at battles end and being able to setup my unlocked skills on that ship in battle screen

    That goes far, far beyond "working" fleet ships.

  2. Except, even that isn't quite the case.  It's not quite "make sailing solo easy."  It's "make my particular style of sailing solo easy."  Which I'm only guessing at, because many of the things he suggests tie into things that I just cannot fathom a solo player doing.  Sailing with fleet ships?  What?  They slow you down, ruin your tag, and make you fodder for any passing pair of players.

    I just can't even begin to understand how he's playing where these suggestions make sense taken as a whole.  So, I want to know.

    Sail around in my big fat Agamemnon looking for other players. 
    Or in a nice lil 5th rate, or in an even bigger and fatter 2nd rate. :D

    Oh no, I get that.  I sail solo almost exclusively.

    I'm wondering what he's doing sailing solo, because everything he's suggesting seems to belong to a bizzarro-land of "Make sailing solo easy."

    Reclaim the Hemisphere!

    The Free Tribes are accepting individuals of moral character and good social disposition to join with the destruction of European Shipping, Freight, and their Officer Corps.

    We sail in affiliation with the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, though we are an independent grouping that is not bound by diplomatic agreements.  We have a close working relationship with the squadrons HOST and PFK, sharing and contributing resources, time, and voyages - though the concept of land conquest is a European one, and is not given consideration by the Free Tribes.

    Much of your time will be passed as you see fit, though commonality of goals and ideals may bring larger squadrons together.

    Transition assistance will be provided for those who request it.

    Inquire at Camp Gérard, just outside of Les Cayes.

  5. This fight I'm just pleased as punch with.  Here I was, minding my own business in a PvE Essex (a vessel I'm thinking might be fun, and with a very cunning figurehead) and out of nowhere comes a Russian Endymion!  Though it is rare for me to be on the receiving end of a tag, I was determined to do my best with what I had on hand.   Forlorn Hope fought valiantly, but at the end, my little PvE Carronades carried the day!  Just wish I was equipped for recording.

    The fir fir gap is going to be increased further this patch. Lightly built ships would be much worse in their ability to sustain damage 

    Personally, Fir is already super-squishy.  I think instead woods should be looked at to see why teak and white oak are so popular, and why woods such as caguarian, sabicu, and mahogany go virtually unused.

    Those are my ten suggestions I can think of on top of my head. Been stupidly eating way too many of the bourbon cookies @Iroquois Confederacy mailed me. If you have any suggestions, additions, etc obviously post below. Love hearing "constructive" remarks the community has.

    NB:  They're bourbon balls.  If they were cookies, the alcohol would cook out.  As they are not actually cooked, but rather mixed, the alcohol is most assuredly still present and potent :D

  8. I'd like to sign up (without consulting) anyone from the Polish faction willing to try it, 2v2 - 5v5 with store bought, un-modded vessels.  One of the biggest issues we run into is communications, as we don't all speak the same language.  The "reward" would be any marks/money/XP earned from sinking.

    An official statement:

    An innocent Prussian envoy was heading to Saint Louis to speak on behalf of the Commonwealth with the British, when he was brutally attacked by a group of five traitorous Commonwealth captains. Due to a lack of compensation of this hideous act, an unwritten non-agression pact between Prussia and Commonwealth is considered to be broken, and PvP hostilities between both nations are considered to be open. Prussia will refrain from taking ports of the Commonwealth, however shipping of His Majesty's of Poland and Lithuania will be a subject to a justified retaliation.

    Though you claim to have been headed to Saint Louis, you were anchored outside of Les Cayes, a strange position for one on a mission.  Packet ships are required to make all haste.  Why did you disobey your orders?

    As things are, one can only assume that you were a hostile actor.  Your ship was sunk as a matter of course, and the three officers my Braves took captive were scalped before the Polish intervened.  Should they survive their ordeal, you may have them back as compensation.  We recommend a broad-brimmed hat and dressings changed twice a day.

    Thoughts of a Transylvanian

    There has been another long hunt, with different stages making the whole. Some defenses around Les Cayes, in which the Captain known in the signal books as “HachiRoku” was captured with the efforts of Captains “Latron,” “Davos Seasworth,” and “Parchin.” “HachiRoku” and his officers were spared to man the vessel as it was returned to port and turned over for use by the Polish. A long hunt with a task force up to Rio Seco, which was cut short due to falling in with a Spanish fleet. Some scouting around Charleston, which had numerous American Captains in chase. Finally, patrolling by Bermuda, in which much tonnage was sunk.

     

    To account for the successes as a group:

     

    Of the British:

    One Trincomalee class heavy frigate

    One Belle Poule class frigate

     

    Of the Pirates:

    One Snow

     

    Of the Spanish:

    One Mercantile Brig

     

    Individual successes are as follows:

     

    Of the British:

    One Bellona class 3rd Rate

    One Indefatigable class heavy frigate

    One Cherubim class frigate

    One Prince de Neufchatel

     

    Of the French:

    One Endymion class frigate

     

    Of the United States:

    One Indiaman

     

    Of the Russians:

    One Indiaman

    One Essex class frigate

    One Surprise class frigate

    One Renomee class frigate

    One La Grosse Venture class merchant

    One Mercantile Snow

    One Mercantile Brig

    One Mortar Brig

    The Trincomalee, as noted, was captained by “HachiRoku,” while the Bellona and Prince de Neufchatel were baited in close enough to a fort to be smashed to pieces by the Polish gunners. Alas, these same gunners would not allow my Braves to collect any scalps. On the Russian mercantile brig, a handbook titled “Expert Carpentry” was found in the hold, which might be worth more than a few scalps. Perhaps I should study it myself?

    These Russians often set traps in order to catch my vessel, and presumably, myself. None were successful, though one was close – headed by a the Captains “Skmarsh” and “Christendom” as they appear in the signals books. They had the weather gauge, and there was a leeward fort. Though we shredded each others sails, as the wind turned an avenue of escape opened up, threading the needle between two heavier frigates and a square fort. It was a thrilling chase, and a daring escape.

    There is news within the Polish front as well. Two Captains, “Cr33d” and “Vazco” have defected to the Prussians. In doing so, they exposed Saint Louis to capture by the British. There are negotiations in place to attempt to recover this port, however, it seems foolish to gather ports when you could gather scalps instead. Yet, this is for those strange two-faced, jelly-spined beasts known as “politicians” to sort out. I am content to hunt.

    This hunt has been, by all accounts, a success. I have not yet counted scalps collected, yet it seems there are more than a few drying by the taffrail. We have been sixty three days at sea, as we currently mark it. Lest they become overhunted, it seems time to leave the Russians alone to once again become complacent and fatten up for the slaughter. The next series of hunts are already planned.

    Ax Thud Yin Sty.
