Captain2Strong

yes all of the ships except basic cutter should be DLC(for a low minimum price of $500 for each ship)

this is something that shouldn't even happen so actually it should end up here that guy even blocked the russian by sailing in front of him and then stopping, even though that russian was on his side in the battle

what is diana???

or they can shoot hull through the front if the cannon is powerful enough and the ship is fragile enough this way they can do a lot of hull damage and get a chance of destroying a mast too!

maybe in some very unlucky case! captain 2strong has seen a lot worse things! if you say so then it might be a good idea to make them shoot at the mizzen mast!

or if your middle hull bar gets a bit too low but if you do it at more than 90% sails you can end up wasting the opportunity to repair hull in terrible condition!

you can angle it in a way that will make most of the balls hit one mast so you lose only 1(or 0) instead of all 3 for example - avoid sailing directly at the ship, sail a little behind it or at the direction where it's sailing at (make sure not to overdo it, because if you do your hull might get damaged too much and in some cases it might be worth more than the mast!) a ship with 2 masts is still pretty manueverable and can win a battle, and masts are not the most important if you're running out of hull hp! or you can repair it every 10 minutes if you can afford rig repairs

that's how it's supposed to work

Redoutable ship doesn't exist.

2 people is not enough to fill a PB

one more thing I'd like to say about it : the initial owner of the indiaman on the picture was an ally from the same nation as me, so the ship was captured by the enemy and then it surrendered maybe this is the cause of the bug? it's not like I have any idea about it I demand my 3K dubs back! make sure it's not going to be less than 4K of course! I am still waiting for my 5K dubs!

yeah it happened about 2 days ago I did not make an ingame report, because I thought "oh I will get back to it later" - and here I am, with the topic I just made

a player surrendered to me because of inability to defend the ship I decided to loot the ship, but when I sailed next to it the option to do this did no appear : I tried out rotating the camera and looking at the ship from a few different directions, but the option to loot did not appear regardless. It might also happen when the ship lost all crew due to explosion/boarding if Im not wrong because I remember a similiar situation but don't remember the cause of this one, but the ship on the picture surrendered to me and I just couldn't get access to loot or control the ship. I demand access to my loot!!!

you sound like someone who is looking for a ban... and if you want a ban, so be it! or you could also suffer, or just pick another game/hobby/anything else to spend time on

no just remove all other permits and it's normal that trinco is more powerful than surp because it requires more wood and other resources (of course some changes could be applied to stats of ships, but not too much) and adding more ships is a nice thing, so yeah, it shouldn't hurt to add them

be careful not to say "hi" or "what's up?" in the wrong moment!

yes, the person who answered to your topic first made quite an accurate post about that and this is what I think

from my own experience I was playing since the wipe around truxillo area and I've only been attacked from time to time, most of the time I was free to move around and I managed to move a lot of resources and craft a lot of ships regardless and when some enemy was in sight it was not necessarilly a russian, there were various players looking there for pvp, just like in some other areas around the map from time to time I also decide to move some wood from santo tomas or omoa to truxillo and usually I do not meet anyone and well 6th rate is mostly going to mean little to nothing, and trincos are not as expensive, they do not require doubloons and are quite spammable, so Im not surprised someone lost somewhere because they used a bad ship, it's normal 3 raiders also mean very little, 2 or 3 players could attempt to fight them and win, or you could use like 4 or 5 if you want it to be easy groups of 3 players are so little that they probably lurk around in various parts of the map every day(although it's sometimes hard to notice 1 person when looking for pvp in some areas), and eventually they either win or lose in some battle, that's not a significant force at all

smaller groups will be able to fill port battles for some ports, giving them more possibilities for PVP with reasonable chances to win bigger groups will have an alternative when they want to have a smaller battle or when some of their members are inactive the BR doesn't have to be lower for all ports, the more important ones cas stay with very high BR but it doesn't mean that every single port has to have high BR, which takes away the motivation to fight over them for smaller groups maybe they could do it, but does it mean this is what would happen every single time? maybe, but if a smaller group manages to capture a port it means something for the smaller group and yet GB and VP managed to win some battles - maybe they don't have a clear advantage, but the force of GB and VP still means something - they can manage to win some of the port battles - what if they allied and tried to take vera cruz together? they could manage to win, because they already managed to win some port battles - or does russia always have 100 screeners prepared? I can't disagree with that, and I think that it has a negative impact on all of the nations - now... how force devs to delete that bullshit...??? ... they can have 100 replacement ships when I only have 5, but does it mean they will always win if they can't condense that power of 100 ships into 1 ship? no, sometimes I can manage to win regardless of their ability to replace power, because it's still going to be docked in port, useless for the duration of the fight and for as long as they do not decide to use it oh was it really like that? - I'd like to ask for an example if you don't mind... the target was not always the same... and a lot of people had breaks from the game, there was some number of days with no PBs or lower player activity I agree, this is a normal feature and a player can pick to play for any nation they want - and devs ignore a lot of the issues they could try to fix by taking some simple steps, but they don't some time ago some players tried to encourage other ones to do something similiar to that - but not many seemed to care about this, so let's just play the game how we want to play it only if Russia was stubborn enough - and are they going to be stubborn every single time? I don't think so - more than half of the map is still in other hands they might eventually give up after a few loses - and having replacement does not have to make them try again - how can we predict that? some time ago, Spain was the major dominating nation, some time ago GB was the major dominating nation - and now they are not - someone has to be the dominating one, but it doesn't mean they are always going to stay there forever but we can still try and see how it goes!

yep 😉

the game is not supposed to be responsibility, the game is supposed to be fun and it's just dumb to pay the costs stated above by other people just to please some retard, I'm not here to please some retard, I'm here to play and have fun it makes no sense to sacrifice anything for some random retards, if they want something, they should either get good (the people who have something in the game also had nothing at some point, but somehow they didn't cry and have a great problem about other people playing the game how its supposed to be played) or demand some reasonable change from devs, such as changing the BR for PBs or lowering the cost of shipcrafting, because it's a lot easier for devs (if they don't do anything about it - noone is going to do it) to make this kind of change than it is for a player to switch nation just because some retard said so it makes more sense to pick some other game/activity/hobby which is going to be fun, rather than sacrifice anything for a retard who's going to be gone anyway, just because some "asshole"(asshole - normal player who is just playing PVP game by doing PVP) sank his trashy, cheap, rattvisan/herc (which was clearly worth an attempt to run away 🤨), or some other worthless ship btw the word is "responsibility", not "responsability", learn to write can't disagree with those words losing is a normal and key aspect of a PVP game and it doesn't mean you can't get better - sometimes I also lose, but it doesn't mean I didn't learn some tricks which are often going to work against the dumb / the ones with advantage / the ones with disadvantage / other people but apparently some people prefer when unknown experienced players come and lead them by the hand instead of approaching an experienced group themselves - the first thing is noone's responsibility and the second thing is easy to do and even if I destroyed all of the buildings and moved to another nation what would be the result? - the same what we have now, except I would have wasted some things - and this is why there is no motivation to listen to this dumb idea the port bonus is not everything and it has it's cost, just like the ship type, the firepower, and other statistics - and getting more power for paying a higher price makes sense it's not necessary for the game to be played and it's actually just another thing which takes time and makes people grind - but say that to devs and see the result 🙄

trade it to your friend/alt/dog/whatever in OW

oh isn't it already?

this is it important to care about some certain unit when it's only supposed to carry "a lot" ???

u should get used to suffering or you could just go away
