Palatinose

All frigates differ in many aspects imo. Even without mods. That's what makes this class the most interesting - always has. Thx for the prince feedback.

Totally +1 Add the Surprise. Belle Poule isn't much better either. What do they all have in common: weak masts. Everybody talks about Requin and Herc and mods. To me these two ships are performing well without good mods. Light frigates are only sailable competetively with elite mods or as 4/5+ versions. That's the big difference. Two lighter frigates are an exception from the general mesaage "the bigger the vessel, the higher the survivability". It's the P-Frig and the LGV Refit. Both are dedicated OW trader hunters (same goes for Prince perhaps? @z4ys), making them vessels in which one sails large distances, encounters only rarely enemies and usually wins these fights. What about Niagara, RSH, Mercury and Snow? Compared to Herc and Requin they're obviously NAFING! (Well let's wait for more hard data some days after the buff, I've seen more Snows again recently - hey @Fouchet welcome back) That's only concerning the p2w Nassau Patrol btw. @admin Please buff frigates, make OW an enjoyable and diverse place again. And above all please nerf (better: remove entirely) the pirate and spanish rig refits. These things are just disgusting and the reason for many (unneccesary) problems.

Well hardcore or softcore? Decide what you want. You call for hardcore hunters but softcore newbies? That doesn't work aswell.

thx for the talking... as always a pleasure

Oh sry I just read that you want to let ppl sail in their capital waters if they want that. I agree. What if not brave is it to hunt in a capital zone on a normal ship? Requin sailors will never be brave, it's just not the ship for bravehearts. 14.5+ frigs with spanish rig = not brave. Normal frigate as attacker: immediate death penalty. Imo we should solve this conflict of newbie killers vs pvpers forced to go to capitals as ow is empty. And to me there is no possibility but to deny EVREYBODY pvp in SAFE AREAs. Make them safe.

Make it like a capital zone now. NO group fights possible. Foes get singled out. Complete no go area for enemies. If your thought behind it is to get people out of the zones you have to make them entirley unattractive to hunters. Only if these zones are free of enemies, people will slowly start roaming the open world imo. Edit: Easier words. If you don't ban me from these zones, I will go there.

You can't imagine how jealous I am on the spanish right now, and on the french of course #makepewpewnotforumwar

Well to be fair as no one likes whiners who wonders about "the whole server aka EVERYBODY" is against brits. The only active british captain who doesn't cry on the forums is Greg. What would a soup be without some proper amount of salt

You're right. Though imo that's only true for 10% of the players. Could be more, but fear of losing pixels etc.

Isn't that exactly the contrast to what this should be? A game? No worries, most good players "worked" their way to the top. For the majority though, it's just not that easy when you just want to play.

Perhaps it's just a new time/era of the game. Induced by prolific forgers not everything is carved in stone anymore. It's to be seen whether this is positive or negative or perhaps it just "is"?

indiaman with guns carrys 4 and still has 700k hold left. Let the big trader boiz talk Toto. Trader pleb.

corrected. DUEL ROOM PLZ!

I like your idea as an addition to the idea of a sandbox. #choices Nontheless I never understood players that would throw away their guns for some dozens of tons of weight. Same goes for repairs.

Would't agree entirely tbh. It's always dependent on the situation. A trader full with fien goods - nice but where to sell them? Do I find this trader next to a capital where there is people to be expected for revenge? Or in the middle of the ocean perhaps with the possibility to get into an all-consuming port (imo it has always a problem that there is so few of those on the map). Should I sink a ship that is not special at all or take it with me? From a nation like the swedish that lived for one year in prosperity where its hard to sell a Teak/Wo Bellona for 800k (now imagine the prices for frigates) PvP marks are just worth more than a casual ship. For someone from another nation this might differ again. I still don't know how people can not have pvp marks and they atill are sold for 150k+. Every player can participate in the pvp events where you get these marks for killing bots. 10 marks a day, ezpz. The market should be flooded with these marks.. which would reduce their value.

Sounds nice @z4ys, though I fear only the passionate OW sailors would use it. Trader tool is enough to triangulate your position. As long as these (fake) features exist, probably not many will use the hourglass. Hethwill why do you feed the troll man

How did you test? I know that Havelock is right about the stats and I know that i was really pissed losing, because you were just better.

Regards to the french. Great battle in Puerto de Espana. We screwed the setup and you used that pretty well. Looking foreward for upcoming events. o7

Was ist denn mit: Es bereitet Leuten "Spaß" sich zu kloppen? Dazu muss man nicht mal doof sein, weil das Combat System glücklicherweise vielschichtig ist. Wettkampf ist doch nicht schlecht. Man kann ja auch in der Kreisliga Fußball kicken oder eben mit mehr Aufwand höherklassig spielen, weil man sich messen will. Ich verstehe nicht wieso du das nicht verstehst.

+1 @EliteDelta

okay thx for the answer

Feel free to do so

Also nicht, dass ichs verstehen würde, aber ist es nicht jedermans Recht, sich daran zu erfreuen volle Lager zu haben und ganz viel Gold zum hin- und herschieben? Hirnlos oder nicht, zwei Stunden spielen heißt für den einen rotzen bis alle Schiffe weg sind, für den anderen auf das Indiaman Heck starren und dann das Lager zu sortieren. Jeder nach seiner facon. Alles chico.

Absolutely +1!!! I want the freedom to name myself sruPL, Lord Vicious, HachiDoku or whatever. This small little social bubble - sometimes I feel like a teenager in here. Hey A did that, B betrayed C, have you heard D made out with E on friday. At this point regards to the split part of my personality "Palatimose" o/
