Just now, Galt said:

I am not keen on starting all over again

Oh... won't there be a fresh start again when the game ends early access anymore !?

[Flags Flags Flags]

Question: will these be by Nation packages ?

Asking because I have no interest to pay for half of the flags and I rather purchase only the nations I am interested in.

Allow me a comment - Please, retain credibility. A region or nation without a proper naval ensign wouldn't fit in. It is like having Nova Scotia flag, just because it would be nice, when in truth the privateer vessels hailing from there all used the union corner red field royal navy flag.

It is good that any person has a choice of what environment to play in.

The Tolstoy reference seems quite appropriate.

[Captains of the Black Flag]

Had the pleasure of crossing one of your crew today.

Only praise to say about the entire affair. Good seamanship and well mannered.

 

[Hercules ship feedback]

I have this beautiful ship and use her on testbed, not so much in caribbean, but have to note 2 things:

- she picks up too much wind too fast close haul - at 45º she goes from 0kn to 8kn in a few seconds.

- I am testing a Sabicu, Crew Space. She can deflect the majority of shots with low incidence angle. Comparison with same thickness, similar HP, Surprise. Surprise will not deflect most of the shot. Tested being shot by 3 5th rates with gun decks armed with 18pdr, 12pdr and 9pdr/6pdr.

[typical 18th Century RN logbook]

On the left hand page of the logbook the information is recorded in columns.
Column 1 gives the day name
column 2 the number day, the wind directions during the day is written
column 3, the course
column 4, the distance in nautical miles sailed in that day
column 5, columns 6 and 7 gives the latitude and longitude after correction and adjustment
column 8 the bearings to the last visible mark
The information recorded on that page describes the vessel’s position at noon, although the wind column often recorded all of the observed wind directions for the previous 24 h.

On the right hand page; wind strength and general weather information such a rain, snow, fog, thunder etc. as well as any other remarkable incidents were recorded.

[Listing]

Realism must be compromised in a game but I would suggest something to be, maybe put to test.

My suggestion is that when my ship, or the enemy's, is shot and takes on water, to have increased heel on the offended side. Would be possible to improve this effect ? I am sure it does not happen.

For the sake of me being mistaken - and in truth the vessels not being compartmentalised like later age of steel architectures - I also appreciate other players opinions on this subject.

[Clubs ?]

I notice this function called Clubs, I also notice some are open to all, some are closed, but the majority of them are not used.

What is the exact purpose of the Clubs ? Can anyone create one ? In what way they can replace normal forum content ?

Appreciated.
