  1. Flags and other decorative aspects?  Will they eventually show up here?  I love my flag in NA and would hope to have similar abilities to improve the look of my ship.  I see ship naming will be available.....does that mean any name or chosen from a list.  Many of us (especially navy vets) would like to use the names of ships that we are familiar with, but that can get out of hand.  If it is possible to name your ship "Boaty mcBoat Face", someone will do it.....or much worse.

  2. Concur that AI ships should be competent enough to NOT fire torpedoes through a friendly.  This should not apply to the player, however.  In addition, if an AI ship fires torpedoes and THEN the player decides to alter through the spread...that's okay too.

    What I'd like to request would be greater variety in gun calibers than just the inch increments that we have, to provide for one thing the possibility of using metricised gun calibers (like 460mm, 410mm etc. ) and also the possibility of gun calibers that don't fit neatly into 1-inch increments, like the 13.5" guns used on British super-dreadnoughts and battlecruisers. 

    Why?

    if not there will be no purpouse on scuttling the ship...

    The main purpose in scuttling a ship is for when the wife says "get off the @#$%^&! computer!"  Because it's still a game.

    well...so then the option to capture a vessel should be in...

    Sure, why not? But again, that could be part of the simulation.  The game says "you have successfully captured the Ark Royal", and you get some nice bonus (or a great graphic).  It's up to the Devs if you actually end up with another ship in your dock.

    Ah!!, I almost forgot... I´m sorry to tell you that, contrary to what most of the people think, sea cocks and flood valves are not intended for scuttling the ship...that by means of manipulating them you could do that is another matter...

    The best way to scuttle a ship if you're not sinking it from external sources, is with explosives internally (I know how to do this:D).  You're quite right that opening a few cocks would take FOREVER.  However, this is a game and we can simulate a scuttle function with one click.  The fact that you CAN scuttle a ship in RL means that we should be able to do it in game.  The vector doesn't really matter unless Devs want to get into fancy coding.

    Can I get by with the base game or are DLC's necessary?

    Base game is a good start and best to begin on the PVE server to learn a few things.  Ask lots of questions...PVP is brutal on new comers.

    Funny thing is that the first days here at home has not been quiet at all. 

    Besides taking care of my normal work, I also has to be a schoolmaster for both kids. 😎

    And mrs - who has to go to work -  expect laundry to be fixed and diner to be made as well 🤣

    Don't let her come home....She's a potential plague carrier...

    Take an enemy crafting port and they lose 80k dubs and 5,75kk reals.. Not regarding the inconvenience of moving ships, ressources etc. I'd consider that to be expensive for most players. Not me ofc, but I'm the richest man on the server!

    Yes, I can see that it will cost the loser, but what does the winner gain?  If there is no value in crafting ships in a capturable port (IE: Port Bonuses), then everyone will craft in an uncapturable port.

  11. 5 minutes ago, Lars Kjaer said:

    simply make ships crafted in uncapturable ports unable to get port bonus'.

    This is already the case.  I'm not sure I understand your OP, though.  Do you wish no port bonuses at all for crafting and just have a perk tree to get bonuses?  I like that as I am not so big on RVR.  The issue is the RVR, though.  RVR has to accomplish something and it is a big part of many player's game.  With your suggestion, what will be the reason to take ports/

    Well in the netherlands its spreading quite fast. lots of people in a small country.  my company already ordered us to work from home. 

    Have you cancelled sports events there?  North America has shut down most leagues.

    im young and fit aswell but would still be sad if my grandma dies because I visit her. :) 

    Very true.  I'm not minimizing the danger to the old or infirm.  Most people will shake this off like a typical flu, but the elderly are at much greater risk.

    Isn't his wife infected?

    Being tested and isolated.  All the more reason for him to be out of the house and working.  He's young and fit.  He should be licking doorknobs in Iran to get it over with.

    Also German politics is a joke as usual in handling this, same for EU.

    The Canadian Prime Minister is self-isolating already, lol. (he's a clown)

  16. I just came back from a Caribbean cruise on Mar 3.  Travelled through Ft Lauderdale and Toronto to Halifax.  At that time, there was barely an acknowledgement that there was an issue.  I work on a navy base and there is no talk of any shut downs here.  The universities here are talking about not letting students back after March break as we have a large international population there.  We have zero cases of Covid 19 here and zero toilet paper in our stores. Can't wait to be told to "work from home"!

    Is it allowed for someone to abuses their officer rank and then steal all the clan warehouse materials and leaving saying they are a spy? Can a tribunal be in place for these people?

    This has happened many times in the past and clans have gone to Tribunal over it.  In all cases, the devs have stated that there is nothing they can do.  It was your choice to make this person an officer.
