  1. That's IT!!! the last straw, WHY do you listen to gankers? and have obviously no idea how to steer this game towards fleet battle, which is where the game historically started. Loners preying on new guys fits perfectly the accusations against gameplay in March 2018 and how it influences "young" people. Please stop listening to the devotee 12 hour a day, I can sail anywhere, and slaughter anything guy. The interface is looking great you HAD a great product, but I cant make ships any more without spending days amassing marks and will probably have to change clans continuously to get near a victory mark to make a decent ship. You have a potentially a big product, but letting the solo players dictate while they eat new players or just put people off the game after a couple of days? I have made some good online friends here but I cannot give this time anymore, there are much more interesting, if less beautiful games out there. o7 Rickard does not even know developers took the exploration of the map out of the game, all the intriguing interesting stuff is gone because a bunch of guys shout loudest.
  2. You invited me to help you with the Naval Action [clean_openworld] beta but since downloading Open World at the weekend, checking my Graphics Card and upgrading everything I can think of still the same result; "log on queue failure", constantly when the servers were up (I receive an email to say when they are down). The steam password fails and the members password I use to log on here fails constantly. I have not even seen open world clean As regards security blocking the program, why would any Steam program be blocked, most are online a few can be played offline but that platform and a lot of games would fall flat if software was that interventional. I have lost the game I paid for in advance last year. carpetbeater@
  3. Have updated to open world but no longer have this game, just a launcher telling me I have failed to join queue?????

      I am reading about groups of ships camping outside harbours and picking off new guys that is so like the tactics of fleets and corps in EVE Online, in fact it is identical. The designers of this game have to break that idea that a fleet rules all by destroying the little guys.

      Sounds more like a deathtrap than a sandbox

  6. I will attempt to get some of the period illustrations attached.
  7. Sorry if I missed it but loading up the hold to feed the men and arm the cannons seems a good idea. In sandbox one may race to a port also for protection if they know of you and you have traded? Particularly, a heavily armed port, that no one will attempt to attack. Perhaps the players should build them too? Your article on what one could discovery in sandbox version as an explorer, sparked off the idea of logistics and a book I have of the reason why the Royal Navy became powerful. Most of it explains the ahead of its time bureaucratic logistics were so good at Greenwich for instance that the Navy was not only building better boats each time but building the chains of supplies that kept things rolling on the sea. From an individual sailor's point of view right through to Admirals who sat behind desks and kept things ticking over. I never knew that press gangs, were actually searching for guys who had jumped ship 90% of the time, runaways, deserters or drunks who did not get back to the ship. But then there was a lot of pain and sweat to run away from. Book = THE WOODEN WORLD An anatomy of the Georgian Navy by N.A.M. Rodger 1st published by Collins in 1986 & The US Naval Institute Press in 1986 The Folio Society, republished with corrections and upgraded images in 2009 The plates & illustrations are excellent. www.foliosociety.com

    I think its claim is to be the first totally Ironclad ship thus needing the steam power addition to sail power, the Royal Navy started building them in 1859. Explosive shells brought their existence about.

    If you get a chance take the tour, I did as a child and recently renewed acquaintance with this south coast landmark. There really isn't enough room to swing a 'cat in the quarters between cannon and only senior officers quarters of office size. The holds are massive and wheat and grain after drying was stored as ballast would you believe, also the reason they were overrun with rats on occasion! Feels great on board even in December 2009 when I took this. htttp://www.hms-victory.com/

    ........spending your life up there must have been great for the 12 to 14 year olds! Carrying sailors stuff and gunpowder a bit boring?

    The big guys looked as though they would never come back up, can you image the number of men and sweat to retrieve it. Great set of breaks though?

  16. There is a shot window which shows what each shot from friend or enemy achieves, even misses!
  17. I thought such complex passwords and ID's might not be catered for so did something simple for account name an password, everything has authorised fine, downloaded but play window wants another "nickname and password" Put in simple password used for verification etc. its a "bad user name or password" so ask software to log in using Steam Login its a "bad user name or password" Steam logon password does contain numerals and symbols for security!!!?? Same problem?? Incidently have not opened play window yet, so which User/nickname and password are usable?
