FKL 1982

Today we tried (as a group of six) to do the 5th rate group kills at Aves. On more than one occasion when clicking on "join as group" the nummber of people pulled into the battle seems to be random again. First time only 3 out of 6 were pulled in, second time only the person who clicked was pulled in.

The Trinc would look awesome with the outlaw paint

One for the fore and aft riggers?

Rumour has it that the Pirates gave the Russians the night off thinking that the port would be undefended. They were only half right, we had no intention of defending the port (MAOR NPC!!!!) but we did show up to sink pirates, who sadly went back into port when they saw ships on the horizon.

State your source

Pirates screened for the russians first, they started the hostilities

Thanks for leaving us Dutch out of it,

Jump GA's hostility and you get your payment!

Maybe not in the port battle, but he was definitely there, I know because I made sure he sank while he sacrificed another Wasa and Christian to try and save himself

Humiliation by the Pirates? Pirates did sod all, the Russians saved the Pirates at Baracoa, PaP was deliberately undefended so that they can provide us with elite NPCs in the area to farm the special cannons (thanks for that by the way). And as far as I can tell, Reverse has been at every major Russian engagement so where you got this idea about a Reddi/Reverse alliance is a mystery. And after the collapse of UWS and their leadership following the great warehouse heist of 2019, I imagine you guys should be careful about throwing stones in glass houses

the idea is to encourage nations to fight over the resource

He is just sad because despite many people warning him, he let his clan get too big. And now it's sucking the fun out even for him

These will also drop in sealed bottle loot as well, also, try trading, your nation will likely have one of these resources and if you get it you may be able to do a straight swap.

At the end of the day, players have to learn to defend themselves, just like doing only PvE will not prepare them for PvP. Relying on vets to keep saving you is only going to hurt you in the long run.

nope, it could make the already large clans even more powerful with the ability to pool ships

This NEEDS to be done right, it can really screw a lot of people over, especially solo hunters. Do you also have plans to update the storm mechanics. Yesterday there was a storm at almost every free port at the same time. It meant sitting in port for 45 minutes waiting for it to pass to be able to hunt. Not fun

Excellent suggestion, hold should be locked just like in boarding or surrender

Did you consider only having one person engage him? I know he is a little sissy that only likes to go after traders but he may have AT least tried his luck with only one of you.

ORRRRRRRR, we could just attach our declaration of war to a cannon ball?

I think he means on some ships you can use free cam to find the magazine, it used to be a cannon model inside the ship. I dont know if that changed at all though

Getting off topic here somewhat, the question relates to the actual in-game mechanic

Could someone (knowledgable, not just guessing) please explain exactly how the magazine module mechanic works please? @admin @Ink Perhaps you could give us a definitive answer?

That's why I am bitching so much, I DO want to do RvR but at the moment, but you are right, we have gone off topic somewhat

It's a simple matter of numbers. We can barely put a full 25 person port battle fleet together, you on the other hand can have a full 25 person fleet PLUS 50 players to screen outside. If our fleet can not even get close enough to the port to enter the battle without being screened out, there is no point us even flipping the port, hence RvR being dead. Hell we can't even flip a nation of similar size to ourselves because you guys show up to that. You may be happy with this situation but many are not and the GAME will suffer as a result

Yes, this does have a stink of "Operation Barbarossa" about it
