Why not check your surroundings before jumping into NPC battle, and tagging from upwind and holding weather gauge until battle closes so you can escape if need be? The game doesn’t need to be safer- there are just things you have to learn and practice.

When Buying/selling things in port shop- lock the scrolled position in place instead of starting back at top of list and scrolling down again.

Wind direction indicator when in port. So I don’t have to pop out to check then back in.

me too- i got kicked and can't rejoin- my internet is fine.

anybody having connection issues?

Why not just another check box after you board the enemy- that says something like “ransom is accepted” that releases the ship back into the OW with minimum crew onboard. So the trader has to negotiate the ransom and submit to being boarded.

You can take an exact bearing by drawing the line with your compass on the map. You can therefore very specifically communicate your position to anybody. If a noob gets tagged and doesn’t know where he is- it’s because he’s a noob.

Port bonuses should be for all members of the nation- why does there need to be a friends list? The advantage of owning the port is you get to pick the bonuses and receive the tax revenue. There should also be a maintenance fee and you lose the port if you go inactive and can’t afford it- if the nation wanted your clan to lose control of the port they could economically boycott it. You would just need a mechanic on how another clan would inherit the port.

just change it for the British nation- for US it’s spelled correctly. Spelling wars- I like it.

Why not have a Chinese topmast pennant that could be added to any nations ships. We could preserve-somewhat- the historical aspect of sailing in the Carribean during this loose time frame of late 18th -early 19th century. Since Poland is a dead nation- why not make that a pennant and sure --Canada too.

yes- I am also unable to log in now- wait time is showing 28 minutes.

What about in battle with a player? Does the battle pick up where it left off?

its been a while since it happened. What happens when you are in battle and maintenance starts and shuts it down? Do you restart in OW or in battle?

Has anyone determined how we get the Seasoning Shed permit? Do we know what it drops from?

yes- problems all day- I heard in TS of players not being able to log in and waiting queue of 75 players +. I'm stuck in loading screen right now. When I was playing earlier today- there was quite a good bit of lag as well-- more than usual. Have DEVS commented yet?
