  1. If you look at the painting above (made by Nicolas Pocock, who was present at the Glorious First of June). Most of the SOLS are demasted.

    How did they get to port if they could not repair in the open sea.

     

     

    Those that couldnt sail under their own steam were towed...For example from memory I think the Santísima Trinidad was partially demasted in the battle of Trafalgar and had to be towed.

  2. Nice try.

    Lets not waste time fiction and just use facts. We can prove everything with have in the game by written research or references. if you argue them provide scans of sources.

     

    Ships were carrying spare yards, mast parts and canvas. Very often.

     

    Nice try? Are you implying I'm trying something on?

     

    I'm not denying that ships carried spare yards, canvas and other spares to Jury rig some sort of repair... but if a Main mast went, they would not have one lying around. I can see a mizzen mast, even a fore mast being semi erected, but a main, suddenly appearing from the darkest depths of the hull, no. I can also see the smaller vessels knocking up a temporary mast, but not the rated vessels.

     

    I think my issue is with masts returning as new. If they could perhaps be half height, and reduced effectiveness then thats reasonable......

  3. They say that the NZ accent is closest in the world now to what an English accent was believe it or not.

     

    Love your post.... but this statement is laughable.

     

    The closes to which English accent, West country, South Coast, Midland, Scouse, Home Counties, London....then you have the Class accents, the list goes on my friend. Then you have to remember onboard a Royal Navy ship of the period its crew were also Jamaican, American, Italian, French, etc etc... its also said that at the time up to 30% of the RN crew were Irish!

  4.  That being said, if a pattern of behavior arises from at least three encounters then I'll be sharing their names and screenshots with everyone so this can be addressed.  Not going to tolerate trolls this early on because when the game goes live, they'll be doing the same thing to others who just want to play the game.  There will be people who exploit the game, who will try any gamy tactic to win at any cost, short of actually engaging in combat.  Those need to be put on notice for sure.  How we go about it can be debated but I believe the community at large frowns on such behavior.  By their actions they shall be known and scorned.

     

    Sir, I would clear any naming or shaming thread with the Dev's first before posting, because even that can be abused. However like you I will not tolerate any form of ungentlemanly behaviour.... perhaps if these current individuals continue to act in this manner you could forward their names to me, and I'll forward them on to the newly formed "Association of United Society Leaders" We can then spread the word amongst our members.

  5. Noted today in a PvE, the Ai ship (Trincomaleewas listing with its starboard gun ports partially submerged... for a players thats either a no shoot or big splashes a few feet from the ship. However the Ai can manage a 100% accuracy full broadside not just once, but 3x!

     

    bug!

  6. does your game freeze form time to time? so that you have to restart your pc?

    Never had a total game freeze,,,, just these occasional little frame freezes in the gfx.
