    I'm hoping not only for a rank reset, but also a rank change, requiring more xp than current, and finally making SoLs require a specific national appointment based on player battle rating.

    I'm Dutch and hoping France and Spain get some numbers to them.

    Keep it, play PvP2 US server, join France or Spain, and get all your friends from other games to join up also

    I like the general idea, maybe even setting a BR matching for PBs, not allowing more than 1 ship's BR over however many defense shows... But the alliance feature is not totally the issue as those smaller nations have the same option to form their alliance and use them in the PB or even as a screen. Plus many rats have stated they would like to play the privateer role and be paid to screen. But still, I agree that this huge alliance is a killer. The entire reason I switched from US to Dutch is to help the balance. :/ I'm hoping we can form some sort of alliance/treaty this weekend.

    We will need a call-out post in hopes of reaching some people for these talks. Maybe former Frenchmen will see and consider returning. I can be hopeful, if nothing else.

    It certainly was no fun, but was just a group test of ships and practice for brigs. I personally would like for the French to take it back and join in on the talks. We have good plans ahead.

    I love the idea of player treasure fleets. Imagine coming across a multi-billion dollar fleet. WOOT!

    You can take the capped ship command and sail that ship home, add your attacking ship to fleet as an escort. Then if you get attacked while headed home, in that battle, you tell your fleet attacker ship to stop, sail to it, hit X to change ship, send your capped trader to escape, then fight with your attacker ship.

    It would be badass if we initially belonged to a nation, but if we chose, we could leave that nation and create our own nations.

    People won't just go to a small faction, unless there is some incentive. There have been polls on this forum asking why people play a certain faction, and it's usually because of national pride (living there), a nation's historical significance, or they want to be a pirate. However, I suspect the biggest reason people won't change to a small nation is because they don't want to be wiped out every day, because human nature is to win. What people seem to forget, is that NA has no end game, there is no winning.

    The only way a smaller ship should be able to board is if the larger ship gets stuck in irons and they enemy swoop in pinning it. I've read somewhere in the forum the devs are working on more dynamic winds in battle. It will make broadside to broadside much harder for the overbearer to maintain speed...lots of manual sailing required. But it would be pretty cool if they can get the wind right.
  14. van der Clam
    Oh, I agree that it happens; happened to me many a time. I should've stated in my response. But I don't think it should happen in game.
  15. van der Clam
    We overbear all the time in competitive sailing
  16. van der Clam
    I wouldn't think it possible, especially once turning into the wind, the pusher should lose wind as the 'inside' ship would be stealing it... So certainly a smaller ship would have nearly no wind at all.

    Join our TS this evening...Good news ahead.

    That is quite interesting, never knew there was an actual tournament held

    Make these actual hidden contraband goods be eggs, like prize documents, or jewels, swords, that give some secret bonus to ship or crew or officer...and make only 1 copy of each that can be lost if the captain loses his ship. If the captain who had it sunk, then he'd lose the egg and it's appear randomly in some other npc contraband ship. Edit: Maybe even make 1 egg from each nation, like the British Scepter - bonus to crew moral, Swedish Crown - bonus to attack, Dutch EIC stock Certificate - bonus to market discounts, etc Edit 2: Heck even add these eggs to raids, maybe set in the capitals, if we attack the capital and win it, the losing nation doesnt lose the region but loses the egg to the winning nation that gets a bonus against only that nation. Maybe even allow nations who collect eggs can relocate them to hide them in other regions. Heck, we'd all be chasing these eggs in raid all over the place.

    Was his name Hans Brinker? He must've let me borrow them to escape

    Straight image post. Nice work mate.

    Can you not use paint and just put a black box over what you don't want others to see? Would be interesting to see the rest of the ss
  23. van der Clam
    Yes yes...and when it pops up, you have two replies: "I'm your huckleberry." or "I'm a daisy."

    Outrunning a pirate with my million dollar treasure fleet. Oddly, it was a pirate...with 2 fleet ships....let's all point and laugh at him, considering pirates say they hate fleets.

    Let your classical olde English thicken up, mate.
