  1. As far as I remember, right now how they are planning it is that players who commit one act of piracy becomes KOS for everyone. Permanently. This will deter some people from becoming pirates, because it is really going to be a hard life being KOS to everyone else.
  2. Why would the sails roll up? As Maturin says, a ship without sails is a fish out of water. Also, in the open world, we are going to have to pay for repairs. People mash s the stop too much as it is, and if we add this in, it really is going to look like Boston harbor on the open seas.
  3. To get a key on Friday you have to order before 5pm Kiev time. Also, they might be out of keys. Last I heard they were waiting on Steam to approve more keys. Once the paypal thing got sorted out, they got swamped by purchases and all the keys went really fast.
  4. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3070-important-game-sold-out-for-some-users-keys-might-take-longer/
  5. For a forum you often have to set your timezone.
  6. 12 hours of nothing? It's only been down for an hour and a half, give them time to wake up and get it figured out. Way to over exaggerate.
  7. That would probably be a server issue.
  8. Hey guys, check out this thread in the sea trials: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/649-server-status-updates-servers-are-on/page-13
  9. Actually, if a card supports dx11 it has SM 5.0. The issue is when dx11 gets installed when the card only supports dx10. Sorry, correct. You have to have a chip that runs dx11/SM 5.0.
  10. $40 at 400 hours in 2 months. Hmmm....I'm at 10 cents an hour. I've never played a game as addicting as Naval Action. The only games that come close for me are Mount and Blade, Morrowind, and Skyrim.
  11. In game, if you hit custom, you get a lot more graphics options.
  12. Let's look at the current and planned ships. As we will see so far the US has the same amount as France or Russia depending upon if the privateer schooner is American or not (most likely) American ships: Lynx Constitution (privateer schooner ?) British: Victory Bellona Trincomalee Brig Ontario Centurion Cutter HMS Pickle Brig Navy French: Surprise/Unite La belle poule La Renomme Spanish ST Dutch: Yacht Russian: Ingermanland Brig Mercury I assume we will have many more ships added of different nationalities. So far the planned ships for the upcoming year that we didn't get to vote on has added 2 French, 3 British, 2 Russian, and an American ship.
  13. If a card supports dx11 it has SM 5.0. The issue is when someone installs dx11 and their card doesnt support it. Windows will report dx11 but the video card doesnt support it.
  14. That ship is outside the time period of the game.....Might as well add ironclads and steamships while you are at it.
  15. The King Aurthur music was kinda overkill/melodramatic as well, but otherwise really liked the video. There are some really cool shots of the Lynx, especially towards the end with the clouds in the background.
  16. Nice lol. Can you upload a full res version to imgur?
  17. Hit alt. You shouldn't be in gunnery mode that much anyway. Once you get to multidecked ships it becomes really cluttered.
  18. Why vote for the Independence? She wasn't a Razee until after the time period of this game, and during this time period she wasn't used in battle at all...the Christian VII or another 2nd rate would be much better. Vote had to go to Rattlesnake for the sake of being a corvette and a ship smaller than a line ship.
  19. It should run because gtx 560 supports dx11, but who knows about frame rate and what settings. But even on medium settings, the game looks really good.
  20. In game it is 16-17kns....The Constitution gets 15.1-15.3 If you give the Rattlesnake the speed Alex suggests it is going to be as slow as the snow and no one is going to sail it. If in RL a Leda class frigate gets 13, then I would agree with his statement on its speed for being used. But the Trinc gets 16-17kns at its best angle in game, so then perhaps the Rattlesnake could make 13-15 at its best angle.
  21. The Trincomalee can reach 16-17kn The Rattlesnake is said to have been unusually fast for her design. Maybe this was only in light winds? However, this is what the website for her replica says. Not sure if it is to be trusted. Supposedly the Rattlesnake only had one voyage as an American Privateer and was captured early, so how they would know she was unusually fast I don't know. We also have to take into account that speed in game does not equal speed in real life. I was able to find these pages/documents online with information about her: https://archive.org/details/navalrecordsrev00congrich http://www.awiatsea.com/Privateers/R/Rattlesnake%20Massachusetts%20Ship%20%5BClark%5D.html http://www.awiatsea.com/Officers/Officers%20A.html https://books.google.com/books?id=MTATAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA285&lpg=PA285&dq=rattlesnake+mark+clark&source=bl&ots=7isw302hKb&sig=TZV1I6yQEXvi4PjGVeOoi4x-u_Q&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8Fu9VNXPEomggwT3toCIBA&ved=0CCwQ6AEwBTgU#v=onepage&q=rattlesnake%20mark%20clark&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=gYQ-AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA171&lpg=PA171&dq=rattlesnake+mark+clark&source=bl&ots=PolR7z2Oq4&sig=shkxV19gl3bgKnCj6fTEb3fksis&hl=en&sa=X&ei=U1u9VOLXCIOeggSL34LoBA&ved=0CEYQ6AEwBw#v=snippet&q=rattlesnake&f=false
  22. What happens is that the Snow has a max of like 120 crew or so, so your ship filled up the max and the others were left on the Trincomalee. Maybe they could have it so that you can have extra crew aboard, but with a penalty to something as the extras are just going to get in the way.
  23. I think we should have A B C D or 1 2 3 4 at current name range and perhaps at very close range (minimap range?) have their names shown. However, if this doesn't change it is by no means a game breaker at all.
