Yeah, this too. I've heard Devs working on custom flags or pennants. If it's true why not allow players to capture each other ships with paintjob+flags as they were set by previous owner. This could also include ship names.

I really hope they will implement this. It's really a nice feature that kills many rabbits with one shot.

Add unique 'Default' Paint jobs for each nation. Right now you have all ships look the same in every nation. It's very boring. For example, if you had 'Default' Spanish paint theme on all their ships let's say red and black and British would have Yellow and black it suddenly changes everything with minimal work. Our brains will quickly recognize enemies on OS and will get satisfied seeing more color variety on OS. If you remember some of my screenshots where I had 2 Santisimas fighting each other and one of them was yellow/black vs red/black, isn't it beautiful? In addition, many players would want to change 'default' paintjob and will need to participate in PBs, pvp etc... another way to increase action. All this means that every let's say Spanish built ship would spawn with 'default' paint making it 'unique' from every other nation and so on... Spain - Black/Red Britain - Black/Yellow France - Black/Blue Pirate - Black/White/Weather worn paint ... still thinking about the rest

Patch related Some User wrote: ive readed those changes and dunno if i missed something...i dont see there any UI change so it will stay as i t was?... Guys don't you think it's time to fix UI and stop loosing customers? Any more info on UI? It just seems to me that customers care more about good look first. I strongly suggest DEvs to focus on UI next and leak some details on what's coming.

What do you mean? If my alt is only Econ guy, then I would not care about his points anyway while accumulating free ones on my main alt.

What will happen if I farm my 2nd Alt in pvp. The only way for this to work is make it PvE only. Where you have to go kill fleets and do missions around enemy ports etc.. It has to be a long term commitment with end rewards. For pvp we need only Leader-boards

How about unlimited teleports per day with cost increase bar. 1st free 2nd 5k 3rd 15k 4th 30k 5th 50k 6th 1 MOT 7th 2 MOT etc... P.S. good work on patch. ---------- Recently killed flag is not given if you were sank by NPC So, if a new player sunk by and NPC and then sunk again by a Player because he had no recently killed flag what do you think will happen? You are allowing seal clubbin here.

Yea it's a fish eye thing. It warps everything around circle, I guess it will have to work for now. I want to maintain same picture and be able to zoom out. Thanks for your help anyway. P.S. it really makes me sick when I sail in that warped view lol.

Very good work so far, may I suggest couple other things only if you like the idea. This is what I have with textures added. Add texture to green color (grass) Before After Water + Grass texture (Opacity on Grass 80%, Water Opacity 20%) If you use Photoshop here is a grass texture pack that you can use: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwn-MuTOHbZRRTJsdXlDR2wyT00/view?usp=sharing I used Photoshop (blending option+pattern) to customize the texture, I can also add mountains and other cool illustrations if needed. Let me know if you need any help with textures. I think we can make this look awesome. Water texture used: Thanks again for you hard work.

They are becoming obsolete after many changes Developers made in last patches.

Hey guys, just another idea that could make Pirate nation extremely popular. First of all I have noticed many posts about recent changes to Pirates and that there is no more reason to play them. By collecting all this data I decided to suggest something that will return many Pirate fans back to their Adventures. If anyone played Elder Scrolls will know of Dark Brotherhood and how popular it was and still is today. My suggestion is to introduce the Outlaw Brotherhood. This brotherhood can be joined after certain requirements are met. Brotherhood should have their own island and port and their main Outlaw Stronghold. Key elements for this suggestion to work: 1. Must be a Pirate 2. We need Reputation System similar to Potbs 3. Achievements system Details Starting as Pirate is easy, you will work your way up to the Highest Rank first and this will be the first achievement of Outlaw Brotherhood. Second requirement will test your skill in pvp and will require certain amount of player kills from each Nation. Once you slaughtered those poor souls it will be time for the final test before you can become the member of the Outlaw Brotherhood. Final test will require you to participate in victorious Port battle (Raid). Once all 3 task are completed and you are proved to be worthy Players will receive automated Mail with an option to transition to the new breed of Pirates (Assassins for Hire) or you can call they Outlaws. One time donation of 1 000 000 must be paid. Home Stronghold Outlaws must have at least a medium sized island and operate from there. It can't be captured or raided. Outlaws can Raid ports similar to Pirates, but they also can Participate in Port Battles and capture ports for those who hired them. However, before being able to enter these jobs their reputation with Nations must be recovered and they must become Trusted. Each nation Governors can list contracts. ex. Raid Havana - 1000xp with England, 1 000 000 gold. etc.. Completing enough of these jobs let's say for England will earn you Trusted reputation and will allow you to work as an ally on call. Each Outlaw clan can have their custom logos and flags. Outlaw Brotherhood can have multiple branches with Names that will make history and bring fear to those see it. Benefits -More depth to Pirate class and huge popularity -Elite Outlaw Class for Veteran players -New rules that can shape Global Conquest in very interesting ways In the end, branches similar to the Outlaw class could add more interesting game-play not only to Pirates , but also to all other Nations. It's a long term commitment to your Nation wit ha great reward in the end of the road. Any ideas are welcomed.

You think they will be happy to return and see same old UI? I am afraid they might bring more bad reviews with them at this stage.

Thanks for adding resources. I think you should rename Resources produced --> Available Resources. Could you make text look centered/bold like this: --------- Available resources: Teak Oak Iron ----------- Also, could you add a nice button that says 'Clear Route', it would help remove preset points from the map. Thanks again.

yeah I know, but why do I need it when I can't steer the ship? The main point of this post is to get the ability to steer the ship while zoomed out. Current Home fly camera is basically a bird's eye view for spotters and unfortunately can't improve view options that are available to players.

Very good point. I believe Developers need to set up a more Advanced market and only after add features like : players to player OS trade, player to NPC OS trade. Most importantly they need to introduce Reputation system to the game. If player rep is good with another Nation they can use their market access and Trade. Also, they need to introduce product exchange and NPC Orders. ex. Craft 1000 oak planks and exchange them for 100 (x material). or NPC puts up orders of let's say 5000 ingots, 2000 oak planks, 500 Gold ingots and will pay $$ instantly when orders are filled and delivered to set port.

Fore some people it's better option when sailing on OS. I still believe camera is too close on some ships. For you it could be ok, but for many slight camera zoom out is needed. I wonder if it's difficult to implement.

Agree, I really wish they would set at least 3 presets. Default, +25% zoom +50% all fixed. I believe players should have an option to position the camera the way they like it similar to all other MMos. ex. many potbs fans would choose +50% zoom, while more simulator oriented folks would stay with default.

Dear Devs, is it possible to add an option to zoom out (adjust) camera and be able to control ships after. For example we do have Home fly by feature, but it's only to look around and stuff. I am talking zoom out camera away from the ship in diagonal straight line and be able to set it as new default. I think many people will find it easier on eyes when zoomed out. ex. Hit Home button once and count 5 seconds, then hit S key and look straight down and count 3 seconds. You will have a nice view, but we can't sail in that mode can we? Thanks.

Well ui has nothing to do with slider missing and buttons cut in half. Trader tool is broken when looking for any wood type it shows no raw materials.

no slider

resources produced by each ports

Add more texture (patches marks,stains etc...) to sails, very good start. Do not copy NA shadows, they are not realistic at all.

All other games I played work with simple general word you are looking for. In our case it says oak is produced in Charlestown. I type oak in trader search tool and it does not give me anything + let's say there are 10 results that came up, but only 4.5 are visible and there is no way to see all of them. Why would buttons be cut in half? I will post a screen when I will get a chance.

Nice map, Devs should learn from you. P.S. is it possible to include resources in every port?

-Open trader tool (Used in Charlestown) -Type - oak -system shows all other items , but no oak -I am trying to see more items, but there is no slider under it and 'white oak' button is cut in half Is this normal? How do you see all oak products if there is no slider/click next button? #Fixit
