This could be fixed by limiting PB to minimum. Let me explain. When Nation brings hostility up to 100% PB is scheduled, but with limited 10vs10 setup. In order to unlock 15vs15 , 25vs25, Attacker must further increase and grind hostility in other words work for 'Bonus' seats in PB. Defender then will realize that attacker will bring more than 10 people since they increased hostility and unlocked all bonuses for 25vs25. Defender will know that they need to bring larger force in order to defend. Bonus seats unlock should take more time and work to unlock. Once unlocked by attacker it's unlocked for both sides. In some cases Attackers can be lazy and leave PB at 10 vs 10 or 15vs15 this will make sure all spots are taken and PB is full. Seems like simple solution. What do you think? Legally Devs keep 25vs25, but with more work involved while making 10vs10 or 15vs15 PB more popular. Dear Devs could this work?

I simply see it like this. In a long run the only benefit you will get from this are more ship requests for other nations. These ships will end up in Legends. This is a good thing. PvP will not improve as it will break nations into smaller parts and reduce already existing pvp traditions. Now your goal is to make sure people who play Legends transition to Naval Action Open World. Let's say they can earn packages that can be used in NA OWorld. This way you will have action hungry players who go play Legends to release their pvp need, and later come back to NA OWorld and play RvR. Improving their pvp skill in LEgends will definetely bring pvp back to OS, but only with right content. This approach will almost guarantee you a great success. Before we go into success you will need to work on 'content' that will keep players entertained. Here is a list of things you need to fix before even trying to add nations: -Make Pirates unique ( ship refits and raids) -Add ship customization items (figureheads, flags, paint, sails) etc.. Casual players. -Add OS loot in fleets and add treasure chests and keys. Chests must drop ships. Keys are rare or premium. Casual players. -Make animated world map to show people where action takes place. I like the chat feature, but it is not enough. -Keep adding ships. - Make world travel easier. With more Nations and no fast world travel you will without doubt kill your game. I guarantee you this. So , please think about it. For now you are on the right track, but many parts are still missing in your slowly moving train. Good luck and I hope you spend some time thinking about what I wrote. G.W.

Fair enough.

so you just threw away people votes for your favorite ship? Smart.

There aren't many option left for NA in order to survive. There are few left, but they are being ignored since last year. I personally just wait to see if they meet their promised deadline before making the final verdict for this game. Beautiful painting with gasoline spilled all over it.

Welcome to the free world.

Let's be realistic, 150 players online = 90% empty oceans. Game is dead right now with some Vets still doing Econ, Fleets and some PvP. This reply would mean more sense 1 year ago when population was still at around 1k, but not now. This is how many players potbs has right now (01/22/2008-9/30/2017).

Fix world travel times first. Like I said it before you are adding wrong content here, unless you plan to have 150 players per server. Good idea, but not the one that would bring life and action to NA. ex. for the 1st month Nation fans will split already existing nations to crumbs killing pvp even more. It still takes whole day to do reasonable sailing around the world, full day son!

NPC should surrender if Gun Weight of your ship is x5 higher than the enemy and when full broadside hits the target. This is historically correct and is noted in many books. For example, in book '13 Gun Salute' when Surprise planned to sail next to the Snow with her long 9lbs. They called captain mad is he would not surrender after 1 full broadside from the Surprise. So, question is why we do not have this feature in Naval Action? I think it will be reasonable if you sail in a Frigate and fire full broadside on a snow or other smaller ship and make them randomly surrender (abandon ship) without wasting 20 minutes trying to chase down and shoot the tiny b@stard. Why every NPC Captain desides to kill his crew even when his ship is almost destroyed and guns+crew missing? Where is reality here? They all sink no matter what you do.

Time for a Final Poll

Looks like Read Dead Redemption 2 will be the main opponent to This land Is my Land. I think If TLML will release early they can steal the market right before DRR2. Graphics look almost the same, story and physics? not so sure. Quick screenshot comparison: a b a b what do you think? a? or b?

My sources tell me that Russians are on their way to Caribbean.

North Carolina Class is nice as well:

No, but I will definitely try it if I can get my hand on ship plans.

Looks like rebuilt Indiaman.

That what I meant, but got warning point for speaking my mind. Oh well.

Navy can find use for men like you.

Open market to public similar to potbs. Their contract system works fine.

Dear Captains, My recent reports suggest that there has been a great progress in Naval Action game development. We can see game mechanics are being fixed on a daily basis as well as those nasty bugs that caused us all the pain in recent months. I do believe it's time to stop and make a change. It's time to review your Naval Action Steam Review and add fuel to this once again moving ship. We are as free people have the power to influence anything in this free world. I want to say thank you for keeping this game afloat and supporting it in these hard times. 'If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.' P.S. My sources presented me with information that soon we will see something exciting as we are closer and closer to the End of this year. The curtain will be raised soon enough.

Go play Doom.

No need to apologize, you have to admit it's a great design with catchy colors. In addition, circles fit well in that layout. I can not see squares in there. Sharp edges can not be mixed with those colors. They must have great graphic designers with creative minds. I am not shi**** on anyone here, just admire creative artist work. Jealousy is welcome.

2bln $$$ to paint a picture and place 3d squares on in? Damn guys.. speechless.
