Free bump from someone who remembers you from PotBS (former Outcasts member), good to see an old name still around.
Thank you Sir! Very Appriciated.

I agree that 1st rates were nuclear weapons that day and should be very rare and 2nd should be uncommon but I think 3rd rates should be the main force of the fleet (historicly accurate).
And that people who are not part of a fleet should be in frigates as solo players.
Also I think that instead of limiting the numbers that can join a battle, we should limit the total amount of 1st rates and 2nd rates by making them way harder to get and to maintain, a 2nd should be for player who are spending a lot of time in the game, and a 1st rate should be a guild goal and otherwise (almost) unmaintainable.
This should be done true high maintenance costs and crafting costs, and not by a protective mechanic that they can't enter battles.
And please people should already be happy with a large frigate/3rd rate because the argument that people always need to have the best thing there is will ruinn this game for me by killing the realism.
Just mu thoughts on this one.
This would be the best option ofcourse, but then again some casual players would never have the experience.

I dont see how this would restrict the usage of 1st and 2nd rates, theres like 10 Port battles a day so you have 10 chances to bring first rate to the battle. I agree on the 3rd rates being main force, their number could be higher. These numbers were anyway to give you just an idea. But i would love to see tha players need to have effort done to actually be able to bring those ships in the PB otherwise this is gonna turn in to PBs whit only 1-3rd rates.

So i wan't to bring in my thought about the discussion floating around considering portbattles consisting only 3rd-1st rate ships, and also bring some usefullness to the frigates by capping the ammount of high rated ships that can enter portbattles. Also this would be historically more acurate than having fleet full of top rated ships...
I would suggest that players need to first of all unlock the slots for top rated ships to be even used for portbattles, blockading the port, donating resources to the national admirality or some other actions maybe.
By doing these things you would then slowly open up slots to bring top rated ships to the battle. Otherwise you would only be able to take frigates. And i would like this to be an effort that players cant fill easily!
Also i would limit it to somewhat like this 1-2 First rates maximum per battle, 1-3 Second rates, 2-4 Third rates. And i would never allow the maximum numbers of top rates, but some balanced combination of my examples. Like in example only 6 top rated ships could be brought to the battle, then debending on what the team has done it would build a composition like this: 1*1st + 1*2nd + 4*3rd or 0*1st + 3*2nd + 3*rd.
This just game in to my mind, don't rake me for my suggestion!

Gunports and gun animations, this way traders would always have closed ports.
Also pb to have limited slots for 3-1 rate ships example 1*
First 2* second and 3* third. And that players would need to before battle need to achieve the slots for pb so the composition would vary. I mean not to achieve their own slot but also open the slots for top rate ships.

We still need new recruits! Don't be afraid!

Repair kits are necessary to use battle repair skills, im not sure if all of them need a kit to work but sail and hull repairs do. You can also use repair kit at OW after a battle to fix your ship up whitout visiting a port.
Is that what you wanted to know Emond ?

Locking FPS to 30 helped me too on my Radeon R 9 280.
The GPU would overheat on OW and Battles. Now it runs game all ultra but FPS locked to 30.

Yes you're right but I managed to amass a vast wealth and it would be a shame to just delete all the hours i spent trading
Currently on PVP2.. unless you can find me someone who has interest in joining this server and exchange his gold on PVP1 for mine on PVP2.. would be a fair exchange I suppose!
Enjoy your wealth on PvP2 and when its gone, you are welcome to join us.

ah I see.. well I was just checking in.. I joined Dutch nation a few weeks ago.. but ain't happy with this nation so most likely gonna convert to piratehood to check out a new atmosphere..
Too bad you can't change allegiance to British or other nations.. would be nice to serve under his majesty's wings again
If i ain't wrong didn't they just kind of make this work? You keep all your XP if you delete your character and start over in other nation? I might be wrong so don't go ant try it!
New account XP system
Old system had a lot of problems and confusion. It did not give enough flexibility and it created a huge burden of work for the dev team with the tornado of tickets.
New system is elegant and solves the majority of player problems and questions letting us focus on development more.
Rules of the system
- Rank, Craft level and Labor hours are synchronized on steam account (learnt blueprints are not)
- Steam account sync is independent of the player name
- You can have different nations on different servers
- You can have different names on different servers
- In summary you can delete a player and create another one with another name keeping XP

Same St Georges from POTBS? I was Anasitos if any of ya'll remember me..

The Very same, i personally cant recall you as im very old officer from potbs starting times returning to duty. I have however fetched your old forum account and checked its alright. If you need its password reseted or email changed i can do that for you.
Edit: i have found your friends old Pattronage info he uses now name Ioan Glyndwr but he is retired. So no hes not present right now.

I used to follow the promotion pays regularly on the forums.
Then I'd go to the website and lookup captain names, and see the Commendations awarded (ribbons and such). It's true.
Same ranking system will come for NA aswell. We already have made NA captains their own rooster. I havent started on my new Bio yet but i try to get it done this weekend.
