The ship is still in active duty, please refrain from using past tense to describe the living.

What does that mean? I have no idea about battle. I doubt it was that relevant, given I've never read about it having any noteworthy impact in any small or large scale battle.

It was not hinted, it was clearly stated you get a gold refund. And yeah I'd strongly suggest you use this weekend to just create the resources. It's not that expensive.

In navigation it was countered by being able to figure out your current position. Frankly if Leeway just means you constantly have to adjust course, expect player numbers to drop again.

If Leeway makes wind now push our ships, will that mean tacking will be harder because we can't release the sails on the foremast, as it is actually necessary when tacking with a real ship?

There's youtube videos widely available of things you claim to be impossible.

I've repeated this over and over. You need to pay more attention

POBS had the currents thing all wrong. All of it. Never mind what a stupid mechanic it was. Speed buff by passing over a giant arrow in the water? Yuck.

Seriously hope they won't be walled behind massive PVE grind or insane PVP mark costs. Make crafters craft upgrades already. Also, if you add Leeway to OW, we need more tools for the OW as well. Currently we're running on the tools of 500 BC, a working compass and nothing else.

too bad you cropped your compass away with the total crew count in that screenshot where you only have 1 in gunnery and 1 in sailing

Yesterday I repaired while in boarding, A large number of crew went on to repair the ship and moved out of boarding. I feel like this should definitely decrease the performance of my crew in the actual boarding combat, as you clearly can't do two things at once if one of those things is fighting for your life.

Screenshot please

Oh, you got that confused. the first WO is framing, the second WO is planking. And then there's the ship knowledge "planking".

Don't count on me being right, but the main thing the guy asked about was his "double planking", whatever that even does, given you are certain to run into the 25% cap with even one planking (unless you double plank a fir fir ship)

You get an Indef on redeem, wood of your choice, upgrade slots all empty.

I bet they're actually already on Caribbean, setting up everything. Everything will come as redeemable, so it's not like you can't just get started right now.

Are you using the base cost for harvesting stone and oak for this or the euro trader price?

Game's not called Maritime Trading buddy. You're playing the wrong game.

You keep shooting a ship on fire right between all your own ships, it's your own damn fault if it blows up. This is a well established and known game mechanic.

Wait, that's an argument now? really? "I don't have time for a full fight, so it's okay if I avoid it by abusing game mechanics?" Maybe Dimas85 should have asked in battle to be left alone, he doesn't have another 1.5 hours for another fight. Should we have just let him go?

Yes, if you are in a group and someone outside of your group of your faction gets attacked, you get dragged into the battle. If you are in a battle group and the same thing happens, you do not get dragged into. This is precisely what Sveno is talking about. Battle Group 1 attacks Battle Group 2, but the member they have targeted for attack just leaves Group 2, and gets dragged in all alone while the entire BG1 gets dragged in and the remaining ships of BG2 can just sail on unharmed. And it took me 10 seconds and physical pain to like an Otto Kohl post.... But yeah, what he said 100%. "smart use of game mechnics" ....

Ports would get assigned to timezones 1 2 3 or 4.

I am holding it down for 10 seconds, after 5 seconds I press screenshot hotkey. @Liq

The tab info box just isn't there, even though I am holding it down for quite some time before and after I press screenshot button. So, only I have this problem? god damnit.

I took two screenshots of battle of Higuain and both are now without the tab screen... anyone know how to reliably screenshot that god damn thing?
