Next time you get ganked by 6 or 7 guys make sure you say thank you and good fight at the end. If me and some clan mates go out in big ships, nobody will attack us EVER. Gank squads only pick fights with no risk. That takes a lot of skill

The people defending the current mechanics are most likely the ones ganking. Lets say you have 4 guys ganking people in an area with 2 surprises, a Trinc and a renommee or something like that. You get a couple guys in a couple connies to come engage them and they run away. Now multiply that by 50 and you pretty much get the current state of the game. There are barely any large engagements and it's all about hit and runs.

I want everybody reading this to think of the most fun battle they've had in naval action. Chances are, it was a fair hard fought battle. I wish there was a mechanic in place to enforce this. I propose a BR limit set by the defender or attacked ship. If a group of players attacks another group of players or most commonly 1 player, they would only bring to the battle whatever ships amounted to the same or very close BR of the defender. An example, if a bunch of 4th rates attacked a 1st rate, only 2 would be able to join the battle. On top of this mechanic, only the defender should have invisibility upon exiting the battle. As it stands right now, 90% of pvp being done is from ganks. Also on a last note, it's worse than ever before with gank squads hiding in battle instances with "spies" outside letting them know of a lone ship sailing close to their battle instance. They all exit the battle with invisibility and swat their target. This doesn't seem like fun to me. What do you guys think about this idea?

The brits stopped sending 5th rates now that you can't tag the pb fleet without proper br so all that you're saying doesn't happen anymore. When someone actually sends a screening fleet, we'll test the mechanics

Big fights are coming...

Attacking people that seem to be afk and run away when they raise sails isn't pvp. Also jumping in people's mission and shooting sails and stern while ai does all the work isn't pvp. If you guys call that blockading then I'm not worried.

Dude I don't know where you came from. I don't know if you're an alt just trolling or some carebear that only now learned how to use global chat or the forums. You're annoying as hell with your broken record bullshit. You do know that Savannah was taken by the pirates a bunch of times and the US hadn't beat the pirates in a 25 vs 25 fight in a very long time and never won a battle with big ships. That is why you lost the port and will lose others as well. Ask Lionshaft to tell you the history of the US for the past year and if he is honest, he'll tell you the same thing I just did. Also I say Lionshaft because everybody else from a year ago either quit or left the nation

I just put 2 kayaks outside by my driveway. If you want to come pick them up, it's free

what are the terms of whatever nation you're from? I'm really asking. I'm curious

What a bunch of Cordovas you guys in GB are! Quit talking about exploits. Take these terms and shut up. Go build an actual fleet and come.back so you can get sunk again

Speak for yourself. I have been in more first rate fights than you have.

Coming from a guy sailing in kayaks getting killed left and right I gotta take it as a joke

The US has for the most part always been this way. Over a year ago I joined the server and the US did mostly empty port battles. Once my clan got established we started going to Jamaica to pvp. I would ask in nation chat if anybody wanted to join and would get told to $&))#% myself. The few port battles that the US did that were contested, most people would show up with store bought connies and trincs while my clan would show up with first rates. One of the reasons we went pirate. It's an attitude problem where too many people are afraid to lose their stuff. It's a vicious circle. They go into battle thinking they're gonna lose, they lose and get demoralized and even more afraid.

The people that show up in the biggest ships will always win. It was like that before, it is like that now and it will be like that in the future. What nation and server do you play on so I have a better idea of where you're coming from

3 things I would like to see fixed: 1) You need to match the Br (or be within 50 br) of the fleet you're trying to attack. This way a small nation's port battle fleet can't be tagged by a little fleet of small ships that is designed to shoot your sails for an hour to waste your time. This would create some nice ow battles. 2)) Revert cannons purchasing back to the way it was before 3) Remove caps on upgrades. Every ship has a base speed that can be increased. Tired of seeing every ship in the game doing the same speed. Also if I want to stack certain skills or modules to get a specialized ship there should be no caps. That way you can really have a unique build that fits your play style.

You guys went from creating a thread to announce a diplomatic deal and peace to almost declare war on each other again! It's amazing.

Redeemable Surprises don't count and to my knowledge, nobody in my clan has lost a ship to you but then again we are probably on different servers as well!

Same o7

Well I'm a pirate and couldn't care less about the US. As for the fight you played with the points and kept ships tagged in battle. Tell my how many ships were captured or sunk on both sides. By the way shooting sails for an hour to keep ships in battle isn't creative, it's annoying.... Oh and by the way, we do have a big production line. We're on a different level. We don't sail store bought ships...

Well if you want to win you do what I said. If you just want to kinda play and see what happens then you guys do what you're saying.

Ok I read just enough and I have to step in really quick. Minnow, stop role playing and have one guy with balls be in charge and build a bunch of aggies and 1st rates. Don't even bother with that Connie plan because it's a waste of time. Texas stop talking about all these reasons for black to do things because I'm in the ts and I have to say all you say is in your head at this point. Don't know where you're getting all this info!!! Hodo just keep to yourself and stay out of politics because you do nothing to the war effort of your nations. Go back to the shallows with your canoe or kayak or whatever it is you sail around in and report back when you sail something worth shooting at. Sorry if the tone seems harsh everybody

Sou pirata no global server. O meu cla chama-se BLACK

How so? A little joke while telling the truth doesn't make me a troll. On a different topic. Are you Portuguese? I am and it's always nice to find other Portuguese captains

So brits suffer from a disorder in both servers!! Maybe its something that was hard coded into the faction. If you look through the game files you'll find a couple of files with nation descriptions and under Great Britain it does say and I quote "lack of spherical objects from wich courage is believed to come from. To be fixed next patch..." I don't know if that would explain it.

IGG went pirate?? What the hell? Well why don't all US players that pvp (very small percentage) go brit or French and the rest switch over to pve server and let the east coast go pirate? lets stop this slow death crap and just put an end to it.
