Great work guys! It's looking pretty good!

[Development plans prioritization - proposals and feedback]

Hmm...hard to choose....going with exploration, I think it would get people sailing around a bit more. 

[The Essex]

The esex is now with 12 lsb what is a bit small to fight against consti for example. It's a  perfect challener against surprise and renomme and may have something to tell with frigates and belle poule.

His armor  is huge making it a tank fir his class while his manouvrability is not so bad.

It offer a nice target has it float upper water more than a frig , a bit like the trinc.

I may have to test it more to give my full opnion about it

12lb on the main battery? with 9lb on the top deck? Just wondering...I have yet to sail one! 

[AI bots in general]

I like the AI and don't think they should be removed even if they make a separate pve server. People like myself enjoy both pvp and pve. I don't always want to pvp or pve...I think the removal of AI is mainly something large guilds and hardcore pvpers want. As a solo or small group player, this would be horrible, and I would be forced to play on a pve server even though I really enjoy pvp...Plus...how is the solo or small group player supposed to farm gold or XP? At that point, you'll be forced into a guild to rank up or make money as this would be hard to do solo. 

 

In regards to only have merchant AI ships instead I would find that boring....I want to be able to get into to fights to rank up and make money. Also, something to consider is that fighting AI will help a lot of newer players learn the game and gain sailing skills that they can use to go and pvp. 

 

The Idea of making them non-hostile could work....that way you can only choose to take part in pve while still being able to pvp...I don't know. However, I do know that almost every major online game in which you can pvp still has AI. (Many of those games have pve servers as well.)

[The Essex]

She looks awesome! Love the figure head!! Can't wait to sail her!! 

[Ship Crew Sizes & OW Ranks]

Great guide!! It needs updating though. The ranks and crew you gain seems to have changed! I was trying to get an idea of what rank I need for a full crew in the Brig. 

[Player-selected ships 2015 - Final poll]

Do people read anything on here before posting? Half the comments on here are what they think the game "needs". It has been said many times to vote for what you like not what is needed. The admins have tons of ships they are putting in to fill the gaps. Vote for what you like! 

[Player-selected ships 2015 - Final poll]

Word of warning about the Amsterdam though,

 

my dad used to work at the Scheepvaart Museum, where her 'replica' can be seen.

However, everyone working there just called her the 'Pancakeboat' because she's very inaccurately build.

I believe all the decks have been raised for tourists to easily and comfortably walk around in her. In my opinion this really shows. She looks way too high. If you think about how free they were with her dimensions, everything else should perhaps also be taken with a grain of salt.

The original Amsterdam won't do you much good either, seeing as there is so little left:

I was thinking the ship looked kinda odd. That explains it! 

[Player-selected ships 2015 - Final poll]

Voted Rattlesnake. I want to note that if/when the USS Independence makes into the game it should be a 90 gun ship of the line, it wasn't razeed until 1836, well outside the timeframe.

 

Yeah I thought that was odd. The 90 would have been a cool because it has a different design compared to many of the large SOLs. I might have voted for it in that case.....but wow the Richard just looks amazing! So its got my vote!
