    Today, I went on "yet another mission"(tm) trying to unlock the third "ship knowledge" on my basic cutter to no avail. I was at 339/350 when I started the mission - in the mission I earned 40XP for damage delivered and 50XP for completion of the mission - after the mission I returned to port and found I was STILL at 339/350.

    We are a no drama group that attempts to help all of our players to have a pleasant game experience ... TS3 is REQUIRED - All are welcome, just don't be overly "talky" on TS3

    Actually I did say NAVY Captain ....... so Privateers would not be included. ------ This game lacks a model for a real Navy - where the ships and their Captains where really just the tip of the spear. Personally I would like to see some ideas and implementations that set a game version of various NAVY services into place ----- just sayin ....

    eye yei yei - no no no no. if that Captain is not on or no longer playing the game - all 230 ships are lost to his clan With a clan dock (say 50 ships) - for a fee of course - there could always be a way to defend their ports for a nation (clan?). Why do you guys insist on looking at it from a modern ownership perspective - IRL no NAVY Captain considered he OWNED his ship. Where do you think the HMS _____ came in? ----- Also a clan dock could be made the only place you can park 1st rates overnight (or they are impounded by the game) - that would limit 1st rate spam in the game - no parking = don't build more!

    In Real Life the national NAVY would store the ships when they were not assigned to a Captain (called ordinary). We need either the Nation or (more likely) the CLANS to have a way to store ships that are not assigned ----- THAT IS -> IF we are going to have proper WARS! --- I have no idea how many warships I have given to Captains only to see them stop playing the game = lost at sea, when they should be returned to ordinary

    I for one will set aside my (minor) concerns regarding decorum and welcome this band of PvP seekers into our nation - we need a lot more PvP seekers. As far as the clans name goes - I can imagine picking a fight with them might be like picking up the wrong snake - so it is apropos imho.

    Sorry for the "bug" phrasing - I thought at first since I built the ship for someone else that it was a bug that the speed nerf showed up when the ship was built. My friend a programmer explained to me how it has to be included any time the ships current owner includes the "Hold Optimization" Perk. IOW a shipyard or ship builder doesn't have a "test" dock or "storage" dock - only an "active" dock. There was a question as to where the perk should be displayed - I don't think that really matters as long as builders know to remove their own Hold Optimization perk when displaying their ships speed stats. I just expected that the nerf of the Hold Perk would not show up in the ship stats - since the Buff of the Frigate Master seems not to. The hold optimization nerf is NOT a bug - please remove the thread if you want to.

    Shot my officer - got a new one - ship is up to speed now = bug found - or is it a feature?
  13. Magnum
    No, it's even funny to Magnum
  14. Magnum
    Perhaps? I do usually have that perk set - can it affect speed during construction? Holy cow then I found a real bug/trick?

    As built means no guns aboard - THERE ARE NO GUNS ON
  16. Magnum
    Discovered that when some of my friends reno are faster than me - I forget the hold perk Speed 14.92 as built. My friend Speed 15.26 as built - all else equal. Do remember to chamge yer officers - if you want speed

    I think the proposed solution for battle screen timeout is excellent considering all the varied demands of the player base. I'm not quite so sure about the port battle log off issue. I do agree with Tiedemann that the defenders home port re-spawn advantage needs nerfed if you implement a 30 PB ban after log in. Perhaps you could have a coincidental mechanic allowing the tagged PB fleet to exit directly into the PB "IF THEY WIN" the screening fight. IOW - 25 ships log in far enough off to reach the port as PB starts - they are tagged by screen fleet - in 12 min they are able to beat the screen fleet well enough to escape - they can escape directly into the PB but the PB timer now has 12 min run off (the run off could be limited to 1/2 hour to limit this nerf). Rewards the PB fleet for quickly defeating the screening fleet, rewards the screening fleet for delaying the PB fleet, but precludes endless spawn attacks - the PB fleet only has to fight it's way through the one screening fleet to get a PB. ----- The flag system could also have been made to work .............Just needed a limit on false flags and to be mixed in with the hostility generation system.

    Wait, What? .... I thought this was a sandbox game. Isn't the whole point of a sandbox game that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want? An arena (competition) game is a different animal --- isn't it?

    Hahahaha joining a battle pirates vs french or pirates joining on Brit side isn't "going pirate" - it's just liking to sink french. Notice he's still got his British rank.

    Dang, it could have been glorious. Thanks for bringing it to the Dev's attention Anolytic. o7

    Why the within a 10 min period? The others countries (interceptors) should only know about the convoy if they see it launch - encouraging them to watch enemy ports = even more PvP. Well, more PvP if the cloaking devices are rescinded - cloaking is the main killer of fun PvP - so so many are just hit and run ambush predators now and they run run run if an even close to even fight shows up. Without cloaking they would have to be serious about PvP or just stay away.

    HEY you guys - come back and help me clean up all these Danish ships! Save some of that beer and pizza for me!
  24. Magnum

    Meh, this game is broken ... but it is still better than PoTBS I suppose (not a very high bar).

  25. Magnum
    Actually it's spelled "good RIDDANCE" and it is, yes. But, did you think .... it's one less source of content for you .... bit by bit, bit by bit.
