Captain Lust

It's either that or new players getting ganked to shit... the only alternative is making new player impossible to attack or huge greenzones around the capitals but this influences everyone not only new players... isolating the new players from the rest is much better imo, so they have a chance to fight other new players instead of getting trashed and also this rookie zone should be somewhat like a tutorial... I agree.

Why not give them Kidd's Island anyways? Thought you wanted the center to be conquest? Also making Nassau the pirate capital takes away a great shallow conquest combat zone and we need more of those not less... Since Captain Kidd was a pirate / privateer and the island in game named after him seems like a homage to Treasure Island it should always be in pirate hands anyways... anything else just seems wrong. All nations should have only 3-5 uncapturable ports maximum with greenzone around them anyways.

@admin @InkWill there be special / custom flags ( preferably historical accurate ) for the war companies that the ports held by it will show? Could be submitted by the community and approved by the devs to reduce work for them... The later coat of arms of the East India Company as an example.

Light Carriages are actually not available ( anymore? ) . @Black Spawn

New players could start on their own tiny map ( like rookie zone ) where everything is dirt cheap. They can leave to the main PvP map whenever they want and there should be a big button with warning indicating this. They are kicked from the zone once they reach rank 5 however ( could be earlier but this would decrease pop in the zone ). Once they leave to the main map they get a few redeemable ships ( TBrig, Privateer / Snow and Surprise? )and a very limited amount of starter gold maybe. Make it so you can only start at the zone once per account. Give every nation 1 rookie capital 2 ports for production ( that can't be captured ) and a free town in the middle ( also like rookie zone used to be ). Veterans could be granted access to the region for educational purposes but only in gunboat. As region you could use US West coast ( suggested before i think ) or one of the great american lakes.

Who pays those taxes and what consquences does raising them have? You go bro... finally some changes that have the potential to make the game great again... i really hope this works out.

Yeah, would probably just be annoying... doesn't seem right tho that you can sail into some heavy storm with no danger or damage at all...

I know but at least it costs you reps if you sail in a storm...

Any chance you can make storms more brutal? At the very least more lightning flashes and some updated sound? Maybe make it damage rigging if you go full sails.. Even if it is only in OW...

You will be missed ~ 1-2 more wipes and the game is completely dead anyways, so you aren't missing out on much

Can you elaborate, please? Is the war company a alternative to a clan or can you be in normal clan x and war company y at the same time? If a war company takes a region, does a normal clan lose all assets / warehouse to the war company too or are the warehouses you mentioned new and specific for war companies `??

Would be nice but i think too much work for such a small detail... i'd definitely like to see this at some point tho...

Not sure if serious.... or trolling... you already get up to 3 fleet ships and every hello kittyin encampment on a sandbar has 3 forts and 5 towers... if people make the effort to actually sail to those "backyards all over the map" to poke the carebears with their almost risk free trading routes... they deserve the kill...

Come on, please just make it craftable... i know you want to sell alt acounts but people will buy more if they can move it between nations... think about it... and most people who want alt accounts have 2-3 at least already... or sell forged papers for real $$$ along with paint chests and name changes... milk what is left mate!

I would like this but only with more shallow ports that actually have shallow water regions attached to it. A good third of the ships in game are 6-7 rates and if there were more shallow regions like the Bahamas ( a big shallow region but still has pathways for deep draught ships to pass through it ) those ships would see more use and it would be a good place for new players to get into the game or RvR... i think the rookie region was a good idea and the closest to a tutorial the game ever had... a shame you ditched it instead of expanding on it to protect new players from the few salty in their mothers basement dwelling sealclubbers...

Would sure be interesting... flags are not displayed in OW for performance issues i believe...

Amen, brother...

Yeah and when you need that upgrade for your build ... the system becomes "a bit silly", for example copper plate - try to buy one from other players when RNG doesnt give you one... nobody is selling it and why would they?

Kind of my experience aswell... i mentioned this in another thread and was told i could get the same gold/time with pvp as with pve/crafting/carebearing... yeah no...

have you seen pirate global???? ...

Never tried Snow to PvP bigger ships... what wood and guns are used for that?

EU...

Thanks for the advice man it sounds all good in theory but there just aren't enough players... i barely find any bigger ships alone at all...

Not saying it isn't possible mate, there are plenty of idiots in big ships they can't sail properly... but it's way too rare... most of the time they sail garbage ships if they leave the greenzone alone at all... and im not Liquicity pulling off a 3v1 and winning against the odds...

For a ship of the line they capture, some dude with good production or even alt accounts builds 10, same with the mods / books. Don't tell me there are lonely SOLs everywhere on the map with 400 players average at best. Do you have combat news chat btw? 5 player kills per hour MAXIMUM on the entire map... maybe one of those is a 4th rate at best but i doubt it... pathetic for a pvp game... also i prefer solo PvP not Naval Gank Action ( i like to take fights where i can actually lose you know... ) so good to know you're laughing, it's healthy but no need to be sorry, i can smell your bullshitting...
