1) Fleet ships with a player ship, Not fun 2) Crafting at a stand still, not fun 3) Need more NPC traders to cap

AI FLEETS!!. I like PvP when its 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 or whatever the number, I would rather fight players like that. I do not like fighting someone who has an AI fleet and uses his AI fleet to do his fighting for him/her. A lot of players are playing like this. Please remove these player AI fleets. This game is losing the fun. :+(

TY

But those SOL's you mention Wilson are players from all side's looking for a large battle. The Trafalgar type battle that every player enjoys to be in. Totally different argument there. That has nothing to do with AI fleets issue. Lets not confuse the two sir. AI fleets don't work when a player has them. It takes pirating right out of the game. If a pirate cannot attack lone player traders anymore because of fleets and we know because of history has told us, not all cargo shipping was escorted. In fact many sailed alone, hence privateering first by nations and next when privateering ended, came Pirating. What where all of those sailors to do but pirate to make a living. If a player needs escort then request a player escort ot go it alone.

I agree we disagree Jean but a lot of Pirates's work alone at times I for one. There has been a lot of talk about pirates in SOL's, frigate and other ships. A lot about pirates not being or acting like pirates. We travel in groups for PvP as some nations are looking to attack pirate groups and ports and the such.Other pirates like to work alone and hunt the trader. In history as we all know a many a trader traveled w/out escort. Such is the case of pirates looking for a quick haul. When this game came out a lot of us went pirate right off the bat. I for one. To hunt the trader when trading came to be and the trader player traveling alone. You had a pirate hunting a trader as in history a lot of times one on one. Now with AI fleets being available to a player. The devs have effectively taken out the lone pirate hunter. Now you may say I too have the option to have a fleet of my own. That would exclude me or other pirates being hunter's. We accept the fact we may run into a group of national's hunting us as we have attacked there traders. We accept the fact we may be lured into a trap of what we think is a trader but in fact a decoy to be gawked, but we do not accept AI fleets with a player when we want to hunt alone. I want to put my skills to the test.I want to put my skills to a group of players who have gawked me trapped me hunted me when I was hunting their trader's I do not want to be hunted by a player and hi AI fleet. Why have pirates then in this game. Might as well take us pirate's out of it. Dev's, Please remove the player AI fleets.

Jean LaPointe, I did mention earlier that I also use trader ships as well too. But again I plan my route travel at non peak hours. But I have lost large loads of goods to player's alone and who were fleeted with others. I'm okay with fleet of players attacking my trader. Part of the game. Sometimes I get another player to escort but mostly i'm alone. No one likes being gawked. But in this game if you travel alone it will happen with groups of players or clans out hunting. I accept this part of the game. I do it too. But AI fleets for players is not acceptable with me. If this game is going to be big one day I would want players grouping up hunting traders or other combat ships. But not a player and his AI fleet. If you attack someone and a AI fleet sailing around is nearby fine, That is the breaks. But I feel each player needs to learn to operate his ship. play w/other group up etc etc. AI fleeted players are taking the fun right out of this game. NO PLAYER AI FLEETS !!!!!

Wilson09 I'm not talking AI fleets that sail around in this game. I'm talking AI fleets that players add ship too their ship they are sailing in. I don't understand this at all. Listen I'm not the greatest player in this game but I like a PVP fight only or if you are /other players fleeting or in two's, what ever. Fine I know what Im going into. all player fleets are fine. But if you are a player that needs a AI fleet to battle every time. Then you didn't learn how to operate your ship. I was told "well you should take every advantage the game give's you. I disagree, you take advantage by developing your skills, learning how to operate your ship. Learning how to fleet with others. Learning battle tactics, both alone and fleeting up with other players. Taking on others is the advantage here. It is the game. Dropping sails and watching the AI ship do the battle for me is no fun. What is the fun in that. Unless you are not good with your skills, then you need the AI fleet. Again DEV'S remove the AI fleeting here. It does not work in this game it limits player's alot.

I tell you the fun is going from this game. PPL with AI fleets take the fun out of it. I was what I thought was an essex against a firgate. Me essex other other a frigate. It didn't show he had a AI fleet. Got into a battle he had a fleet. WHY!!! Why do people feel the need a fleet. You want to beat me. Beat me one on one or in a player fleet then. But if you have to have a AI fleet WHY WHY WHY are you in this game. GET RID OF THESE AI PLAYER FLEETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AI fleets in game sailing around for clans or player to attack fine. Player who needs an AI fleet not okay. This needs to be removed from the game. Fleet with others or go it alone.

And I say if you need escort then you ask another player or join a clan for this escort. If you are in a combat ship and you need a fleet with you AI fleet needs to go. Again asked another player to join or join a clan for this fleet. I accept player fleets and getting gawk if I'm caught alone. Happen many times. I don't complain about it But a player with his AI fleet is not a go with me. Now I have loaded many a trader up with goods and I have lost a few to enemy. But when I trade I plan my trip out during off hours rather then peak. I will hand it to the US tho, to mention TDA. They have learned how some players move or have gotten lucky but they are aggressive bunch, I can't complain because they have caught me loaded at time's with goods. Fair is fair as I have caught players too. In both servers EU and USA. But i am not for AI fleets with a player. Again fleet with other players or go it alone.

No you read this wrong I mean get rid of the AI fleets. Fleets are fine, but a player who needs a AI fleet to assist him in a fight, come on now. If you need a fleet to fight join other players then but if have to sail around with your AI fleet to fight others then what are you doing in this game then. The fleet idea was BAD in the first place and the devs got rid of it. But placing it back in again is wrong. Either fight with a player group if you need a fleet to win or don't. Because if I take you on one one then may the best man win but if you need an AI fleet then you must really stink at this game sheeeese.

Get rid of these fleets. yers who need fleets to sail around have not learn how to fight one one one. This was a bad idea before and his a bad idea again.

Another idea, not every crew fought to the death. A lot were captured crew. If we are force to have to hire crew and even hire our own crew back once we put them on a captured ship when it hit's port. Then the crew should be aloud to be captured too. When the battle was going bad captain's knew their crew's had enough. So we should be aloud to use the captured crew to help man a ship. The captured one as well as the ship that just won the battle. Damage to ship would have to be part of decision when the ship is boarded and the fight on board is going bad. PvE, PvP. But as I read it now, I see a exit of player's from the game. Sometimes you can over dev a game.

This is going to ruin the game for a lot of player's. Look what you lost already w/the game. Numbers are down from 2000 + when you first open to like today 913 and it drops as the day goes on. Nice.

In all ports as I have been to the shallow ports and deep water ports too. I sailed from Mortimer to Shroud Cay and did not see a single lone trader. Only traders w/ escort light and heavy escort. I read this is a problem in other locations as well.

Bring back the lone traders. Not all traders had escorts back in the day. A good portion of XP and gold was made in the game buy attacking traders and boarding them. Boarding too is a big part of XP and gold to in this game. AI combat ships too. Thank you

Not like this the AI reload time is incredible. Non stop by AI. I tried to fire like the AI on shot at a time no comparison to the AI ship.

Impossible to do. Leaks which you know are way over done. Every AI trader has at least one to two escorts or more. While trying to cap traders AI just ponds you and leaks all over occur relentlessly you cant cap a traders. No single traders like iv seen in the pass. A lot of teed off ppl in this game today.

Hello, I find the capping of NPC'S and it going to the Admiralty disturbing. First of, I'm a clan member , but a lot of players chose not to join a clan. They rely on one of two choices in the game. One is to cap a ship and use it in PVP or PVE or break it up for crafting or sell it for cash. Good choice's in this game. You must realize a lot of players will not join a clan there reason's being there own. The other choice these players have is to buy a over price ship that some other player crafted. Greedy players who price a ship that no one will ever buy. Removing capping NPC'S is going to hurt the game in my belief. Having a capped ship for use is what a lot of players will have to play with. It was a good choice to have in the game. A player capping a ship could do what they wanted with it. Now It goes to the admiralty. Maybe cash is not the answer a player wanted. I must say too that capping NPC'S was what I liked to do also. That was my fun. Not port battles, not chasing NPC fleets with others, I liked capping ships and using them PVP or PVE. Please bring back capping NPC'S and letting the PLAYER decide what he/she wants to do with the ship, not the game itself. Thank You.

Pete Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ye be sorry

We Pirates appreciate a good challenge and have shown mercy at times to a good Captain from the opposite side. ye we only want to sink your traders, capture a port, fight the fight. It short I agreed w/what is spoken above. This game is meant for fun and a good community of players no matter what flag you choose to fly under, their is no room to be rude to another player no matter his/her experience i the game. Salute !! May you have far winds and following sea's o7

Its a game, lets not make it more complicated then it already is. The more buttons to look at the more multitasking you are doing and not paying attention to what you should be doing. You know you our in a wooden ship and a broad side is dangerous to your ship. Damage will happen. You need to develop a tactic when attacking. I read lets have factories to build our own supplies. Its happening in the future. Lets feed the crew at sea. No decision yet but let me add if they do lets make sure we add a button to empty what they put in as well. We are already getting a button to handle the crews at there stations! more tasking to what we already have. No one in here is ever happy with what we have. How about this, lets just play the game can't we. Or will this end up like the failure the MMO WOT, Ships and Airplanes turn out to be when players took the game over to their advantage. Ppl leaving those games for good. DEV'S enought already, fix the bugs, manage the game but to much multitasking is going to take the fun out of this game.
