Not commenting on Requin. But I want to support development on the game so that I have a game to.play. They need money. So it's DLC's. 😁

Any player should be able to place a contract anywhere. It's their risk to sail in and sail out again. Atm you can't place a contract in an enemy port and that's BS imo. What about smuggler content, false moustache/beard, "have you got any of the special stuff out back mate?" This needs to be added to the game for content and different playstyles otherwise, giving clans control of contracts because of ALT abuse will prevent any casual or solo player from ever having any access to previous materials = Less population. (Not everyone wants to be in a clan and we need all the players we can get!). Bring in a mechanic where the clan always gets some material drop by virtue of port ownership and introduce a smuggler mechanic to allow others to be able to compete. ( more content = more players). Get rid of the ALTS by taking away the need to cheat.

Not commenting on the requin. I said I would not do that anymore while such reqhate exists BUT This is a ridiculous statement!! DLC's are good for any game. They promote the game and give funds to the development team......to guess what. Continue development!!

Because battle chat has become so salty is it time to remove, cross nation chat? Battle rants that include words like cnut, fcuk; and borderline racism, although make me laugh ( I know my opponent has lost it!) Must surely put off new players or at least teach them very bad habits? It also SPOILS a very great game instance. Plus (I believe) anyone you have blocked in global etc, can still be potty mouths in battle and everyone in the battle is forced to endure? Thoughts, suggestions?

I won't be commenting on this topic of the Requin anymore because it seems to just be going in endless circles. It's now just the same few voices all deeply entrenched in thier views on both sides. I personally do not believe the Requin to be such an issue anymore infact I did not see one single Requin yesterday on the OW and I feel confident that @admin will eventually publish figures which will show this decline in its use. Although the issue at times got heated, I enjoyed the debate and I bear no ill will toward anyone, on either side. I look forward to sinking and being sunk by you all in game. (If you can catch me) 😁

@Old Crusty posting untruths on the forum is so easy to do and so hard to get away with. What you have attempted to do is take two unrelated posts and put them together in a feeble attempt to show me contradicting myself and you 'destroying' me. This kind of this kind of thing is distasteful at best and dishonest at worst..... Your last post: The post where you took these quotes from: One of these posts was not with you and was in a different context. Its a shame that you tried this. You have not 'destroyed' my points as you put it. All you have destroyed is your credibility. Sad. 😒

So its what others have told you.......mmmmm.🙄

Unfortunately you seem to be a very angry man. Try not to get so emotional. N.A. will change many times and not always the way you want. In your eager attempt to continue with your hatred of the ship you failed to to read the first line. I said 'changes' to the ship. My advice as a long term tester of this game is to expect many things you disagree with to com and go and also to stay.

@Old Crusty because you don't sail the Requin I will list the changes to the Requin since its release for you. I bought it. I sail it. I am an unashamed self confessed low life pirate ganker. (Although I do not believe there is such a thing as ganking in N.A.. seperate topic)😁 Wind profile changed resulting in more specialized ship use. Loss in down wind speed. Crew casualties increased. The Requin now loses casualties correctly. BR doubled. (This is a big positive for PBs.) And better AI reinforcements. At least they all seem to be rear admiral rank now. (I think rank is taken into account with AI BR. @admin) Sails and masts take damage like they should or seem to. (Effect could be improved). The mod that gave bonus with no negative to Requin (Pirate Rig) has been reduce by 1/3. (No more heavy builds reaching 15.5 knts without seriously super mods. Well beyond normal players anyway.) These are very real in game changes. If you sail the Requin these are big changes. This game has been around for 3 years and we have had many changes that were forum driven by incessant calls for this and that by players who felt that they were right. this has led to big mistakes in the past and @admin has clearly stated on here recently that no changes will be made in haste. This I believe is the correct way to go. I know that you personally do not like the Requin but I personally do like it especially from a pirate role playing point of view. So we must both wait and see where she will eventually settle but we must be honest when we post. There is too much (THE TROLLQUIN IS OP! KILLING THE GAME! BROKEN SHIP ...etc etc) which helps no one. Facts vs Myth is the way to proceed. Fact = she had 250 crew. Myth = she has 385 crew. Mods make a difference but then they effect all ships. Builds make a difference but then they effect all ships. I would also point out that the use of the Requin seems to me at least to have dramatically dropped and in game chat now seems to show players on both sides of the argument feel the Requin is actually not that good. I look forward to the data that @admin will release on its use and ability in game. Although we may feel that we are correct, sometimes we are not and I believe that the dev's are right to proceed carefully, rather than listen to knee-jerk insta-change reaction that the forum tends to throw up. Been there before.....many times.

The ship has been substantially nerfed since testing. And @Licinio Chiavari clearly said 'true Xebecs' had 500 crew not the Requin which he clearly said had 250 + mod ability. We must all look and read what others are saying rather than jump to derogitory remarks based on wrong information.

Yes ofc, so the three of you jumped a Santi. (the rest of the post stands). Such a shame you think so highly of yourself and your own intellect that you missed my whole point in your eager attempt at yet more self gratification. 🙄🤡 The pic was a demonstration of how you can provide fake news but then you already knew that by your excellent use of yours.

^ awesome.

So 3 of you jump a Santi in a mission. He sends his fleet Ballona away thinking he too can escape.....and well........... we know how that goes........... (Any small ships win here). The three AI (generated by the reinforcement zone) are left Behind. (Normal AI behavior) A Herc enters and decides to help the sinking Santi and is run down and boarded ...... (I wont even comment... except to say good try from the Herc captain) So Really ? This proves what ? That an single enemy Santi attacked by 3 top rank captains is dogmeat ? We all know that. And we all know....... that a screen shot taken at the end of a long evolving battle is....well......fake news at worst and poor exaggeration at best. 🙄 Look at ME and all these USA ships that RAN AWAY FROM MY XEBEC Mmmmmmmm..........Belly dancers please ah..... thats better.

The devs are redoing the mods system soon anyway. I think you will have to select mods from a section of likewise mods so stacking and super stacks won't exist or be as bad.

They are with that attitude. Long msy you continue to harbour it.

Yeah Im with @Old Crusty there. A new DLC 450 crew surprise. Nice one. 👍👍😁

Thanks for that. My last fight was in a fireship Hercules. My friend Pazuzu had a fire ship renomme. We found a trinc escorting his trader. We burnt. He burnt. Much laughing on both sides. Hope this helps the Requin discussion to. 😉

Shssssssh....... Now a dlc fishing boat........

Sailing with the wind leaning you towards the enemy will prevent leaks from waterline shots.

While in battle periodically press the (tab key) to see who has joined the battle.

At the start of a battle, use your telescope (Shift Key) to examine the enemy ship and see what type of guns he has. Carronades, Mediums or Longs.

I have one in the clan warehouse. Sometimes I click on it to show the others what it looks like. Then I put it back again. 😃

Do I smell salty tears? (do they actually smell, someone got empirical or factual data on it?) Not tears from me. Just frustration at the same whinging and crying about the requin being a super ship, which now she is not. With an Elite Pirate Rig she still runs pretty fast downwind. Rich player, rich argument. Super mod argument is mute. My post specifically said unmodded which is the only way to test a ship, not the game mods. And now tell me that staying behind an enemy and killing crew and guns with the swifels and pudhing him into the wind is a skill, when you're faster downwind? Not sure what this has to do with my post, game abuse maybe? like speed fit Bellona's or hugging Hercs. I have no opinion on this. Again this was not in my post. Pirate rig got nerfed by 1/3 and not to unusability. I think you misread here ? I said it still had its speed, reduced now because of pirate rig nerf. The Requin now is just fine. It's where it belongs. I glad you agree with me, that is what my post said.
