And you suppose this why ...?

Yeah but you use Fir/Oak ships? Or you build fir/fir and oak/oak ? I speak about combos like LO(tank)/fir(speed) ... they just dont fit together ...

Agas, wapens, ingers, Essex, Cerberus are seldom too ... without permit craftable. Permit is balancing too ... balancing by price ... Same thing i decide If to put copper in my ship or Gazelle ... Question of money

What are your reasons? Actually i like the permit system ... its a good way to reduce some ship types and give more diversity ... prelaunch it feels everyone was sailing endy or bellona ... Who would sail a 3rd rate instead of a bellona If Not for permit?

Can we ad a choose-wood Option to the elite-ship-notes ? With random wood they are just trash ... nobody wants these trash wood ships since crafters sell good ships ... Yeah, i hoped people would justuse it for PZ ... but they dont ....

Exactly! Give freedom to us poor Players without an alt ... (Some players have an alt with LGV full of repairs logged out on high sea ... si they can refill reps without sailing Back to Port).

Agree safety or false safety is a reasin for "harbour sitting" too. But the repairs are a problem too ... because i have to sail back to harbour after every fight sailing to hostile waters is ineffective ... so you can sit in Front of harbour (with the side effect you can teleport to a Hotspot in a Minute If needed) and have the same amount of killed AI ... Players are clever and lazy: If they have to decide between waiting 40 (or more) minutes for a decent AI, or sail 40 minutes (20 min one way) they will choose to wait ... Dont think one cycle of repairs are enough ... If you fight f.e. aga vs. aga you will need much more reps to compensate your damaged ... I would suggest you can resupply your ship by Killing AI ...

I think Archer did this already he wrote it. He also Said this will Happen again and again until he restart the Game, so he clearly has an other Problem as the Well known abbort and press X again stuff ... this happens in my opinion If you drift away a little and get Out of reach (depending in camera sight)

@admin Dear captains and devs, Let me start with a description of my problem. With the new distribution of bots in open world (friendly towns spawn friendly bots, enemy towns spawn enemy bots) i see many players sitting in dock-spot and waiting for some decent bots they can attack. The few bots that appears gets attacked by twice or more the ships you need … polite players let the first tagging player alone, not all are polite … A variant of this "waiting at the dock-spot" ist teleporting from port to port and see If there ist a decent target. I do this myself very often … Even in border-towns enemy bots are very rare … Of course i understand the Intention of the bot distribution and i support it. It is logically that i have to search enemy ships around enemy ports. But atm sailing to enemy waters means to return ti save port after every single fight (except some boarding fights or noob ganks). If i have a fight iin which i get significant damage im forced to turn and sail home to rep and get repairs. In my pirate life this means i sail at least 20 mins to get in hostily waters, have a fight and sail Back 20 mins. This sucks so i do it very seldom … Yes i know, i can load my ship full of reps but we all know this slows you down a lot … and we all know how much reps are needed to full repair a heavy damaged ship in OW. So my suggestion is to make AI drop Lots of repairs. I think every AI should drop the 3 kinds of repairs in a good amount depending in its size. Attacking AI should be a source of reps, not a rep sink. Flood the world with reps, make it possible to stay in enemy waters for months 😁 I know there are some related drawbacks for crafter and logistic-alts … maybe we can compensate them by another crafting good? But im sure they will have still their purpose … dont think a whole port battle fleet will farm AI after got towed 😁 If i was not clear in some point feel free to ask. Lets discuss this please … O7 Gilles

For some time now I have been watching clan KLIN with Cano Macareo. In recent days, I have often seen battles between a Swede and a Russian. Oddly enough, they always took place right in the harbor and the starting point of the weaker party was always on the land. Mostly a 1st rate was involved which I could see from the BR. Today I was able to enter the battle on the Russian side before it closes and see who was in the battle. As you can see on the screenshots, the players [HAN] Ans and [KLIN] u117 were in the battle. These players i have been watching for days working together across the borders of nations, even abusively by reopen closed battles, allow the opponent (Ganker) to enter and disappear immediately. Anyway, today's battle showed that they did not even think about fighting, but did not fire a shot at each other. Instead, even [HAN] Ans fired at me, which was clear green on green. I suggest a painful demotion, because here we have players who have shown up several times in the game and also tribunal with unfair and abusive behavior. They gain unfair advantage ("power leveling") and when caught, they show even more clearly that they shit on the rules (green on green). By the way: please change the RoE because it is extremely frustrating when a player with Alt in another nation can open closed battles and the normal player stand in front of a locked door ... The incident was around 3pm GMT and I made an F11 error message. I also have more screenshots. o7 Gilles
