Admin - It's a problem with plurality.

 

One person is a Landsman, an Able Seaman, an Ordinary Seaman, Midshipman.  

Two people or more would be Landsmen, Able Seamen, Ordinary Seaman, Midshipmen.

 

The noun is "man", the plural of which is "men".

 

O'Brian's "The Mauritius Command", Page 60:

 

Hope that helps!

That's exactly what I meant. Merci beaucoup, Henry!

Is there a historical reason why the beginning forum rank (Landsmen) is in plural form while all following ranks are in singular?

I'm not a native speaker, but I expected it to be

 

"Landsman"

 

As it is the most popular rank in the forums   I would like to see it correct. Either through changing it or through changing my lack of knowledge of contemporary english.

[Whaling]

As it was (at least partly) me, who demanded whaling in the exploration gameplay thread, I have to comment this:

 

I would really like to see whaling in NA, but I totally accept if the amount of coding and political problems stops the devs from implementing it.

 

I just have to say its ridiculous that in a movie where 12 humans are killed violently the scene where a Hamster is killed has to be cut out. The same applies here: We're much more often throwing blazing hot iron balls at the guy next to us than was imaginable in the 18th century, but one of the major trades of that time has to be left out.

 

I don't say that NA is directly this way, but our world is going more and more in the direction of hiding and forgetting the things we overcame deliberately and not because the people of that time just forgot what it was. (Slavery,antisemitism, absolute monarchy, war as means of politics, whaling etc.) Saying "The one who must not be named" does not make Voldemort vanish.

[POLL - Where are you from?]

The Poll is flawed, as many from central europe vote for west europe by accident, thinking there to be only east and west available at first. Plus completely forgetting about any potential northmen.

 

But I guess that is what the post is for.

When the poll started, there was no central europe option.

Deleted my old 'western europe' vote and replaced me 'central europe' as I'm living in germany and working in switzerland.

[What kind of PC do you have?]

Bonden - I'm playing on a laptop with less than that (except the processor, mine is an i7 2.4) and I'm getting 22fps on Low, which is more than playable in my opinion.

 

It won't be amazing, but I think it'll get the job done.

I'm even playing on an ultrabook with intel graphics 4000 and as you said:

 

with 22fps in low on a 1366x768 resolution it makes a lot of fun!

 

I will get a better machine when Star Citizen launches, because they always demand best hardware, but if someone plays nothing more demanding than Naval Action he doesn't have to sell his car!

 

Edit: this shall be a compliment to the developers!!

[POLL - Where are you from?]

First german to report in this thread!

[French translation]

Sure, I can understand this wish too. But I think in the beginning of this game it will be hard for the Producers to translate all the different languages. In a later time it is essential for the game to present the Forum in the most important languages. I hope for a german one.

I am german and having read all the "Hornblower" series in german and all the Aubrey/Maturin series in contemporary english and having found a sailors dictionary from 1911 I offer my humble services for translation into german.

Not full time, but hobbywise which would hopefully still help to spread the word for this awesome game.
