Anceitus, before you give up. They did make crafting easier. With a Crafting Level 0 and Level 1 Shipyard you can make most trade ships and ships with a battle rating below 100. With Crafting Level 1 and Level 2 shipyard you can make most 5th rates. It sin't hard to get to Crafting Level 1. Make about 15 Lynx's. I don't know if at some point you can actually make money building ships yet. Haven't gotten that far in the game.

Has anyone successfully used these two methods since the last update? Why I ask is that I noticed the AI's responses are much more intelligent than the ones I see in the videos. Especially on the Boarding one. The videos look so predictable. Player does Attack in first few seconds, AI always responds with Defend, Player switches to Deck Guns around 2 seconds before end. Player wins round. Player repeats and the AI never changes it responses. What I have observed is the AI now will switch to Brace 2 seconds before round end. AI will often use Attack. It appears the developers have upgraded the AI a bit. The Boarding game is basically Rock, Paper, Scissors. Unless the programmer puts in actual flaws in the AI the player should never win such a simple game for a computer.
