[Foreman and Oversee Perks]

Hello Captains,

wanted to ask you some explanation about these two perks.

If i'm right foreman helps you to make more faster labor hours and oversee just to increase the max of your hours.

is correct?

[Merry Christmas and Happy New Year]

Thanks, merry Xmas and happy new year 

[Holiday Conquest Truce?]

Maybe wait till the Chinese end of the year? 

[Poland wiped out, what happens next?]

They will become the Chinese faction and in less than a year they will conquer the map. 

 

[New ship Idea Venetian Galleass]

There is in this forum an interesting discussion about the Venetian ships. 

 

[Make Pirates Pirates Again]

Of course I'm agree with you since i'm a pirate,  but, if i have to choose, i prefer to change my flag and keep the ports where i have building instead a nerf on shipyards and ships that i can sail with or without a compensation in reals or doubloons

Is just my coffee break time

[Make Pirates Pirates Again]

More easy to remove pirates from the faction list,  give them to the AI for  port raids battles and other npc events around the sea, and use all the towns and the capital for the China faction

Without considering all the drama, the complain the angry for both solution

[Development plans update - Second Half of 2019]

Maybe the problem could be how to give them a capital and other towns, from which nation you will take it? the owners will have a compensation? Or maybe add the south america and the pacific ocean side so they could start from there.

[Tools Economy Breaking Mechanic?]

The consumption rate work only for stuff crafted by player or also for trading resources? 

When the cap is reached mean that there is not possibility to place new contract for that item, for example tools or wood compass?

Achab

made by workshop

Effects:
 your ship become  a fishboat able to hunt whales

 you are able to fish 4 time more faster than  normally using nets and  once at  day at sea,  you are able to capture a whale.

example if you capture at 9.30 west indie time  a whale you have to wait 24 hours west indie time, the clock in the fleet menu.

You can convert the whale into Ambergris, provision and whale oil, but you can use this option once at  day at sea, see the whale capture time.

The result of the convertion is 75% provision, 20% oil and 5% Ambergris. During the conversion of the whale, the ship must be at 0 knot.

Maybe a timer on the left top corner of the screen with a fish to see how much we have wait till the next conversion.

If the player during the  20 minutes of the  countdown is attacked and  start to run,  the countdown stop and will start from the beginning.

 

Since our ship are not made to be used like that we have malus:

1.  the cargo space is halved to have room to work the whales 
2.  all the battle perk have no effect  since the cannons are all moved on sides to have space
3.  reload time and aiming are all more slow +10% 
4. since there is infamable oil and tools,  the ship is very flammable and is more hard to control fire for the crew so

 

Blueprint needs:

1x Sea Book

1000x Hemp ( to make nets)

1000x Iron ore ( for the harpoons)

1000x Coal       ( for the harpoons)

1000x white oak ( for harpoon and to build shallops)

1x Textile machinery ( for nets)

2000 Doubloons ( fish licence permit)

 

This upgrade need the Whale Oil like resource , different whales to add at the fishes list and a counter to see how is available again the conversion

The phasmid strategy of Jack Aubrey 

made by Academy

Effects:

Your crew is made up of the best men of the nations present in the Caribbean: 

The best sails  the best gunners and  good carpenters.
thanks to them you can pass undisturbed in enemy waters becoming a phasmid 

Every enemy player that click on your ship to see who you are, see you like a friendly player unless he is in your tag circle.

In the tag circle he can see your true faction and:

the tag time of your ship is 3 second ( kill the traitors! kill the spy! Now!)

Using this upgrade will give to all your ship's stats  random penality from 5% to 10%  since men from different countries dont understand each other

If you tag a ship, all the nation of the prey will know who you are untill your reach a friendly port

 

Blueprint needs:

1x Grietje van Dick

5xFrenc Gunnery sergant

5xBritish Gunnery sergant

5x Pirate rig refit

5x Spanish Square sail

5x European Book

10x Lumbers

[TL/DR My alternate open world economic system]

Could be nice if they had, for the ground, what they mate for "This land is my land". possibility to make customs avatars four our captains, melee fights with guns and swords, maybe is the NA2?

[AUTUMN SALE STARTED - Nominate Naval Action]

So at the end of the next year, every rate of ship will have his DLC. 

Cool, no worries to lose 1st rate 

[AUTUMN SALE STARTED - Nominate Naval Action]

Wrecker

I don't find on Google nothing about that, was a ship or just floating ships wrecks to loot? 

[Solving Player Imbalance]

dunno tracking the mac code of the desktop or some component, ip, and so on

[Solving Player Imbalance]

IMHO first step could be reduce or cancel the possibility to use alts and see how thing go.

Then the Raiders are the good way could be improved  adding some surprise events like riots: a in a random dock npc ships attack players of the same nation or the forts start to shoot yelling bad words. Dont loose the port but is like starting hostiity

 

[Armada movie]

Hello Captains, 

I found today on a very famous legal streaming platform, owned by the second rich man in the world, this movie:

 

Is not like master and commander but there are some nice example about formation and so on

@admin is the new building a brothel?

 

 

We need the Hevea brasiliensis the rubber tree, so with a new blueprint hood, we could craft condoms 🤣

[SAFETY OFF - Raiders Start Attacking Ports]

using dubloons for repairing first rates  and maybe hire new crew is a good idea 

[SAFETY OFF - Raiders Start Attacking Ports]

i see, but also link the number of the ship type to the account could push players to use second account or the famous alts to store there the 1 rates

[SAFETY OFF - Raiders Start Attacking Ports]

no, not per nation but 2 per player. every player can store only 1 or 2  1st rates...if he wants the 3rd one he must choose which discard

what about a tax tonnage? Maybe the models have a weight and for sure devs have data about the real weight of these ships..

That could also be used to balance big nation fleets like the treated after the WWI

 

[SAFETY OFF - Raiders Start Attacking Ports]

A DLC chest with dobloons and random items could be a solution. Or just dobloons.. 

[SAFETY OFF - Raiders Start Attacking Ports]

The main problem is to wander around to find something to sink. 

I took a mission about sinking 10 Surprise at Cuba. Moved there and I started to go back and forward along the North coast. Nothing, on the way to home I found a t brig whit inside pudding and cheese, then when I decided to go back at home I was sinked. 2 hours for pudding and cheese.. That not help to keep people, is frustrating. 

 

EDIT:  since you use DLC to gain money why is not plaanned to make DLC chest with dobloons and if you want other random stuff inside?
