What If port is 1 hour away and I don't have an outpost? What If that 1 hour sail ends up with only 23/24 needed on the market or someone buys them all by the time you get there? Not all ports have Longs. Bro open your eyes.

Advantage? Kill 1 npc and make enough to buy guns. There is no advantage here, if port does not have guns I need it means content is limited here and I can't do what I want to do. Then I turn to real $ for help because ports are empty. Now here is a player who does not pay $, he still can't get guns even if he has the money because ports are empty. Problem is guns are not there when we need them and that is why gun shortcut packages are useful. Instead me loggin off, I use the package refit and go pvp. Do I make myself clear here?

When population is about 100 people.

It, won't. If port has no guns I buy them for $. Simple. If port has guns I buy them from you and other cry babies.

I need a shortcut that can mount all that crap on my ship quickly. I don't want to craft guns. I craft ships and don't have room for guns. I want to pay for gun shotcuts with $ and not be worried where to find them.

I am asking for real things that this game is missing. They try to push history so hard and not even have realistic ammo? We even have proper realistic currency, but no ammo? you my friend is irrational. P.S. Try to speak up when you talk please. I can barely hear you.

No one forces me to do it, and I should have content that is available for solo player who wants to spend $. You guys can go and slave for your clans.

There is no ammo in the game, it's magical and yes I will pay to quickly mount all needed guns that are not available in port. Markets are empty in 70% of ports, and that is why people can't get proper gear and go pvp. It's a choice to go insta buy a shortcut or so sail for hours look for needed quantity of guns.

@admin please introduce gun packages (rare item drop) to Naval Action. It would be a one time use item that will automatically fill all your guns (heaviest allowed per broadside) on a newly acquired ship or any ship with no guns mounted. Have 3 types: Long Guns Package Medium Guns Package Carronades Package These items have a small drop chance and could drop from NPCs, PBs, Players, Missions etc.. Having one gun package ready will quickly get your ship ready for battle in no time. How will it work? Must be in the ship with no guns mounted, select Use Gun Package (Long), Confirm. Set sail with your battle ready ship. Can trade same as Labor contracts. In reality it's bacicaly a service that delivers and installs all the guns for you. These can be sold as Premium content as well (short cuts) Premium Package Example 15L, 15M, 15C, - $3.99 45L, 45M, 45C - $6.99 135L, 135M, 135C, - $14.99

What kind of premium ship is this then?

$10 looks reasonable for a small ship, $15 - 4th rate/1st rate. It doesn't mater what price premium content is always the best and that is why it's premium. I just want to see small useless ships get a refit and match Premium ships. If Devs can figure it out, then they can spam premium content left and right. This means all my favorite ships might get in the game )) that I will buy without question.

Game is already pay to win. 20 alts vs 1 is pay to win. 1st rate factory ran by 1 player is pay to win. My suggestion was to balance free ships vs premium ones. Give free ships a buff with guns and HP. For every premium ship there must be a free ship that can give a fight and have a chance to win. ex. Rename Niagara to Lion. Give it a new paint, and larger guns and hp to match Herc. Make it a mark exchange ship. Done.

Measure how fast Herc can demast niagara. And measure how fast niagara can demast Herc. All long guns. If you take the difference and match it with bigger guns you get balance. If Niagara could demast Herc almost as fast then you are in the right direction. THat same Niagara can try to go vs Surprise and will get crushed due to 1/2 less armor. I do not understand why you cry about a small ship getting larger guns?

Premium content will require everything to be unlocked and this includes PB, otherwise I repeat myself again no one will buy it. I will not pay for a premium ship with restrictions wtf?.

So, what is the point of having them in game after all? I paid $20 for that ship that I can't take to PB? no one will buy such content. Where is your thinking here?

You are adding and removing content at the same time.

and? they have 1/2 armor compared to the ships you named.

He is my suggestion on how to balance free ships vs Imports. Give free ships a better guns options and boost their HP/Thickness to match Imports. Rattlesnake Heavy vs Hercules GIve rattlesnake 12pd guns and boost side armor a little. Niagara vs La Requin Give Niagara 12pd guns and boost side armor Adjust other specs accordingly How to calculate Shortest time it takes to unload Hercules/ La requin broadside + maximum damage with perks ------ should be matched by gun weight that would cause the same or close amount of damage in any given time. ex. ship unloads broadside every 30 seconds and causes 1000 damage every 60 seconds then 12pd guns should cause 1000 damage every 60 seconds. Test penetration and match guns on Free ships. If import ship can penetrate better at 200 yards, boost armor on Free ship. Then take these 2 ships and calculate how fast they flip and fire the next broadside. Adjust turn rates and boost armor if needed on free ships. If import ship can do x2 broadsides more, penetrate x2 better then you have a bad balance. If Imports ship carries more armor, free ship must have larger guns to penetrate it and fast enough to try to evade it. If Import ship carries more firepower then Free ship must have thicker armor to resist it and so on. *NOTE If Devs add Import ships DLC and do not balance any free ships then we are officially Pay to Win. Suggest better options.

they did their research I did mine. I would not post fake sh*t here. Pay attention to structures not the movie.

Check out this vid, this is Charlestown. Clear mix of Brick, Colonial and European housing. I would assume other ports followed the same style. In Naval Action we have not a single brick structure in US.

One fleet for the whole server is bad... One event, one epic location...it's not going to work. End of story. Oceans must be filled with content (ships, wrecks, survivors,floating cargo etc), each content must have it's own % drop chance. There is no other way around it.

Boston is a pure example of an American port and how it should look like. You telling me Cuban style is historically correct? We even have Russian in Caribbean and they live in the same cuban style homes lol. Let's not fool ourselves it must be fixed.

Possible, each nation would have different figureheads, sail emblems and paint themes. Boom. Ships can stay the same, but they will look differently. Imagine capturing Spanish theme ship (no one else in your nation has) and sailing it around? Bad azz. Now that is what I call pvp motivator.

Bro don't even get me started on that. You telling me Boston did not have brick? lol You should change your name to Killick Shallow port
