Do you have any idea if a workshop will be open at some point? Ships, flags, sails, etc.. Obviously with your approval but might be a way to allow people to get involved and also help grow the game.

Love the ideas.. For your pvp events.. locations is not best idea.. How about this.. Port with largest hostility that is your area of event.. if another goes higher it switches.. If the mission area is confined to regional capital. PvP event/zone is same area.. well guess what now it is crazy! Keep an area in northern Bahamas near shroud as other other place.. to keep stuff fun and do some small ship 1vs1 pvp.

Well everything is going away at one point anyways.. so do what you want with the info they have given.

Sounds like a coding nightmare

Battles will be quick.. thought of losing people will flee. I do like the idea of officer on ship and gaining xp.

Great move on the devs part... as a single ship builder with no clan, I was pumping out ships faster than clans. When I was doing a 4th rate a day or two 5th and below all gold, something was wrong. It was gold or nothing..if you wanted some crap ship go buy from NPCs. If it was not a 3/5 I sold for materials or discounted price. Now with the fine woods and the fact I rolled to another nation and highest ship I can make is a frigate at crafting level 50. But, what they were trying for worked less gold ships being made. Sure some tweaking needs work..Fine wood production rng goes away, and I think you have a good system. With the removal of all other levels of ships grey/gold being withstanding fine wood is simple. Want gold fine woods required and don't care go for the other. Key here is regional bonuses still need to be implemented, as this is a great idea. Customization needs to be well thought out and also use some of those new regional materials in the game.. Main thing is remember you will have casuals, hardcore, and the in-between players. You will not make everyone happy, just put out a game you are proud of and a majority will love it! As one of the original testers..who just came back 3 months ago to relearn the game again. Sorry real life took me away! You are on the right path.. I look forward to a clean wipe.. PS please do something with blueprints! PS 1 dura ships can work, but upgrades need to go to 1 note, or they have dura on them as well.

Any place that has the new ship stats?

I can't remember the last time I used teleport..maybe because all my outposts are where PvP is.

Well make the ships cost less..really the difference between grey and gold is not much.. Just get rid of the colors

It is actually alpha.. fix your Leonidas!

I would love to see what pvp2 would look like with out US and British allied.. they do it for safety.

But..problem with that is you can't attack everything..why I changed.. I was limited to fighting only pirates.. Your alliances take away a lot of fights.

Picture is broken.. was it speed trim and then regional speed?

What I am thinking too.. just with no allies..and all enemies.

Blueprints should unlock by crafting level..stop making this difficult! Specialization is a good idea.. say I choose frigates 5th and 4th rates.. those ships would get a stat bonus, all other ships I build would get a negative bonus. Bonuses would be based on ships in game now.. Blueprints honestly are a terrible idea..why a level 50 crafter can't make anything but a frigate is beyond me..

Have the devs even said they are going to rework the pirates? Would be nice if they shared their ideas on a thread.

English soccer league?

Devs please rethink blueprints to ships.. with the addition of fine woods which is great for rarity of ships..BTW please tweet it I rolled out 5 farms at 550 logs each of oak and got 0 fine woods.. New players/really rolls can't make a ship other than a frigate.. I am a level 50 crafter and can make a frigate..to get all the blue prints back would be a ****ton of fine woods.

Think you are taking this wrong buddy.. in its current use it just frustrates players who forget to click it before a long sail. It has no reason to be since the main use was to be a risk your own nation could attack you. Now it is annoying since I guarantee everyone sets sail for 30 minute sail to get some goods..and say **** forgot that stupid check..

Could even implement it in the traders tools so say a US player sees what a brit player in port X wants. Might need a new tab though..have traders tools and then ship builders..the later woyld be available after level X crafting. Just like trader tools should be available after a certain amount of bought and sold goods on open market.

Sure this is how we all do it now.. and it is ok.. but with this new option you can put up ship you want..and anyone in the game can then fill it.

First want to state I don't even know if this is possible with coding. We can put a purchase order up for basically anything craft able in game except upgrades. I would love to see a system for purchase orders for ships. Say I want a cedar built exceptional ship with speed. I can put that purchase order up and then a builder can fulfill the contract. With regional bonuses you can add that too, or leave it blank. Might be a nice way to get more ships in the market and for the ship market to see less high prices.

I don't get your point? The smugglers flag was put in for the reason that your own nation could attack you if you had contraband goods. Now you can't.. so the only use is to get into a port as a trader. Just get rid of the button.. that way it gets rid of the annoying I forgot it and sailed forever.. There is no negative to just leaving it on all the time.. players can attack you with or without it on.. your nation can not attack you no matter what. Just allow anyone in a trader ship into a port and get rid of the button..it causes more headaches then good.

I bring this up because honestly this option is out dated. There is no reason to have this still in the game, other than to annoy people who don't hit the button before going on a trade run. Must people just leave it always on so they don't forget.. since there are no consequences. Just a rather annoying button that is not needed.. like pray

Do we know which region gives what?
