  1. I had and Indie in a fleet master and commander rank and had 6 ships against me 5th and 6th rank.   I can't take that on alone.

    I can't do solo missions either because it only will allow me to do a lieutenant which is too low for for a Indie, even though I am a rear admiral.

    Why can't I do a master commander solo mission? DO I have to lvl up my solo missions in smaller boats to be able to use my indie in a solo?

     

    captnblackie is NA name

     

  2. i logged out an dback in and money was there

    every time I have a combat mission and come back to my port all the goods are gone. I have to log  out and in about 12xs a day. Can this be fixed?

    what am I doing that causes this

    thank you

  3. yes but it never did this before where there was a deviation from the listed price on the trader tool. Have you seen it deviated from posted price. if it does differ and it is low what are you supposed to do? go port hopping looking for a random price with a boat load of goods.

  4. The shop is always empty after a combat mission. I have to reboot each time I return. I reported this pre hotfix 3 and it is still happening.

     

    I had to reboot after a ship of mine sold too in order to show the price. Can you please fix this.

  5. I bought carolina tobacco in St Mary's for 338  because trader tool said it was 441 in Brunswick. I've done this route several times.

    I sold it at Brunswick without looking at price. It only gave me 202 per unit . I lost 12,000.

    when i rebooted the price was even lower in Brunswick 186

     

     

    If trader tool is not accurate then then trading will become worthless because of unreliable price. Price can change in real world but you should announce it first because I will not trade to loose money.

     

  6. I just received a notice of a trader brig of min selling at Brunswick to mcmanis  I was not credited with the money. I put in an F11 and the sgathering information blinked but did not say sent.

    Hello Captains. 
    This is an important announcement on the asset wipe.  

    Most importantly - your xp is safe. 

    Bad news 
    All assets (including money) will have to be removed from the game. We tried hard to find the way to keep the assets, but unfortunately due to the sheer volume of resources accumulated during experiments (which sometimes provided too much money or resources or both). In addition to that keeping resources will not allow us to properly test the economy changes, ship changes (including 1 durability), upgrade changes, npc resource distribution. All assets will be removed. We will provide 4 ships of various rank as redeemables to all players to give some head start. 

    Good news
    We mentioned some time ago (several times) that all participants of the early access will receive rewards for all the pains endured during this hazardous voyage. Today we can announce a first exclusive reward (there could be more) that all players who have owned the game during early access will receive. 

    Pandora - beautiful, fast and agile light frigate famous for the search for the Bounty after her mutiny.

    The ship will be delivered on release of the game or maybe earlier (for testing). It will be added to redeemables in one of two forms (we do not yet know which and will provide more information on this closer to release) un-tradeable permanent blueprint, or an eternal redeemable ship similar to the yacht. 

    Timeline (timelines are not final)

    1. Series of patches will be applied to testbed by the 10th of April (last patch to testbed was applied on 27th Feb)
    2. Asset wipe by 19th of April
    3. Preparation of the server merges and reorganization by 19th of April
    4. Opening of servers 19th-20th April

     

    We understand that the action we take could be painful but it is absolutely needed for proper testing of the game before the release. 
    Thank you for your attention.

    I think more good news. Let get on with the new equal playing field start.

     

    All assets> Will we loose our craft status?  will we loose our blueprints?  Thank you again for moving on.

    I like it. With 4 gratis boats, we don't have to grind to get out of the cutter, that's all that bothered me so far.

    I only see the Pandora as reward. What are the other three bosts that will remain after big wipe. were these given to early early adopters?

    will we keep blueprints for these reward boats too?

     

    thank you all. looking forward to the wipe and start anew

     

  9. "the varied challenges this game provides while recognizing it isn’t for everyone. It’s a shame there is so much rancor. "

    Trading is a least distanced traveled intellectual problem which is a classic organizational challenge that was attempted by the founder of Fed EX.

    Trying to solve it, like the NY Times crossword puzzl,e has a pleasure of it's own. There is room for everyone in this game except those too blind to see how really challenging it is.

     

  10. I use this spreadsheet to organize my trading.  Transportation whether Harbor Freight Fast (Delivery) or Harbor Freight Slow (Ship) depends on weight. This helps to combine and round up shipments. I have seven home ports labeled (A-G) from which I choose my Missions which I check daily. I put in the numbers, find  total weights using two columns on left labeled “T wt”  and ” #” that automatically calculate weight.   I then look for compatible transportation and ports, put in orders and start making rounds with my ships while other orders are in transit. I made it to fit a single paper sheet.

    In the afternoon I train for battles and later in evening I finish up when Harbor Freight Express makes deliveries.

    My goal is to improve so I can beat up on the cowardly Pee Rats who have taken my ships, sailors, and cargo.

    There may be mistakes in this spreadsheet. Please share as you like. I love all the varied challenges this game provides while recognizing it isn’t for everyone. It’s a shame there is so much rancor.

     

    My nome de nave “Captain Blackie” is in honor of my Celestial Navigation teacher from Portland Oregon from late 1980’s. He loved the So Pacific, was tired of crashing wooden boats on reefs and built a steel boat in his backyard in Oregon City. Towed it to Willamette River and I have never heard from him since. If anyone knows of him or how to contact him please let me know.   Here is a small part of spreadsheet.

  11. Henry,

    Thank you. Your comment got me looking at my download speed.   1mg! supposed to be 30.

    Then I saw I was logged into my neighbors system across the street. I forgot that when I went over to help him because he has new Dx of Parkinson's that  he let me log into his system to check some things. Sure enough when I logged in I got his system which was weak.

    I really love this gave. I realize that the long sails aren't for people who have a real life, but I am retired and continually amazed at the depth of the challenges at all levels. I do errands while I'm making big traverses or other tasks throughout the day, so it all works for me.

    I am currently working out a least distance travel algorithm with trading, auto delivery (their FedEX), missions, and teleporting. Better than New York Times crossword puzzle.

    I use multiple spread sheets with info like resource weights, which port offers which Mission, auto analysis of total weights etc. 

    And then getting jumped by a P. rat trying to enter a harbor with a big haul and my heart starts thumping.  Great fun.
