I prefer the title "As the Tiller Turns"

First I would like to thank @TommyShelby for attempting to defend me. Fact is I am a troll I stated this in my first post here. If the thin skinned girls in Black can't take it then that is their choice. I do love how they say I have contributed nothing to the game. That in itself is laughable. Doesn't matter because they know they are bad, will continue to be bad, and they can try and stick their heads in the sand and hide. But it won't change the fact that they are playing all alone now and they will be alone in their little litter box. I think everyone of note has moved on to other game.

Probably true.

No. I like the system now tied to the captain not some unknown NPC on your ship.

Its okay. @koltes is here because he was bad at EVE and got run off. I may have podded him on my combat alt in EVE at one point or another.... maybe that is why he is so salty.

You are bad kid. You asked And I responded accordingly. If you are going to troll, at least know what you typed before. GGK

He is trying to say... That we are trolls and should be ignored. But fact is you ignore us, and Christendom and Wraith and all you have is BLACK talking to themselves... kind of like how GLOBAL is now.

That answer is a no. And honestly I doubt I will bother, as you are a non-factor now.

It is official, I have lost all respect for you now with that ONE statement. And I will 1v1 you. But I dont bother to login to this game any more, so 1v1 me in LiF-MMO.

If no one is online playing, then no one will use it, if no one uses it then no taxes, if there are no taxes there is no money, no money.... why bother taking it in the first place. See the issue?

The Pirate Frigate I could do in an afternoon and I am not even a Unity 4 coder. It is just a simple mod on an existing model. The paint scheme on it is nothing more than a skin mod for the existing model. The guns and crew amounts are just changing a few numbers in the ships .cfg this includes the bonus for boarding. Really not that difficult to do, did it more than a few times in Kerbal Space Program which runs UNITY4.

My point on removal of ships is to replace them with other more realistic ships that most likely saw action in this region. Removal of the Snow and the Niagara means 2 more 6th rates can replace them, like the Xebec and Prince. Removal of the Pirate Frigate. Replaced with the Hermonie or Santa Cecilia Removal of the Heavy Rattlesnake, replaced by the Rattlesnake. Removal of the 3rd rate, replaced with HMS Mars (3rd rate).

So I am going to ask this now. How is this going to effect the PVE server population? Is this another useless patch for that server?

The "Snow" did go to sea, just not the HMS Ontario. The "Snow" is a mast type, Snow masted Brigs. But I agree, remove the heavy rattlesnake, remove the Niagara, remove the 3rd Rate, remove the Pirate Frigate.

I am fine with the removal of Pirates as a nation... just not removing piracy and privateering. And that is what it feels like he is doing.

So let us talk about taxation, port maintenance, and hostility. The issues will be as follows. With smaller clans and nations, there will be no taxation as they will be taxed out of the game by larger clans and nations. The carebears will never leave the non-conquerable zones and thus be no help to any aspect of the "nations" development. It will strictly be a clan vs clan game a bit like EVE, just not as polished. Having additional money sinks in the game is not going to help in that aspect. You are now FORCING clans to PVE to grind money to pay for ports that they want to hold, so why hold any ports? What would they gain from this.

The problem I have found with the original post is it doesnt look like it fixes any of the underlying issues. Like the problem with to many nations. Every one seems to agree that there are to many nations. Then the issue with Pirates not being pirates but instead another nation with no real drawbacks. So I fail to see how this patch is going to change anything.

Most of my repairs, sail repairs mostly, come from looting NPC combat ships. It is stupid.

Mainly French, and Spanish. I am tired of seeing Russian, Finnish, Dutch or Danish ships in a region that they never sailed to.

Talks a big game, but cant back it up.

Or just flat out ignored.

Again.. I challenge you, I double dog dare you, put your money where your mouth is? Or are you another Alligator mouth with a Humming bird ass?

@admin This new patch does not solve any of the actual underlining issues. You can change your avatar to the same .gif as so many others, it doesnt change the fact that Pirates are still broken. The games basic mechanics are flawed. And the lack of actual population and numbers in game or information on those things is killing any chances at RVR or PVP in this game.

Again blaming BLACK for all of these issues isnt exactly their fault. The developer is just as equally to blame. I mean WHO puts a broken assed nation like the Pirates in the game. But meh... back to my other games.

That post seems a bit hostile, are you angry at him? You must be 'cause must aint dont sound right.
