  1. Madre de Deus (1589) is out of the game's timeframe for ships by more than 100 years. She will be slower and weaker compared to the Indiamen we have, and also less armed and with less cargo capacity. A quick google search lists her capacity at 900tons, while the Amsterdam, on which the Indiamen is based, is listed at 1150 tons. If put into the game, Madre de Deus will NOT be larger than the traders we have ingame, nor will she be better at sailing or combat. No
  2. I'm afraid that the "real" newcomers won't make the endurance, let alone the final exam. What rank would you get when you do the 4 tutorials and the 3 exams? In the tutorials you play as a brig, so I think that the Basic Brig would be more appropriate.
  3. I'd happily write a 3 liner for every Ship currently ingame, to atleast get the Ship line-up up-to-date as it the website is in a pre-Trinco, pre-Santi state. Say, if that would help you and I'll do it. It ain't much, but it would be something.

    Back

    Not only Admin is back, but me too. I just recently ended my 1.4 year break from Naval Action and once again enjoy it. Having played during the Sea Trials, my honour was at stake during the tutorials and (after 2 trys) completed endurance and then (aka 10+ trys and two videos😁) the Final Exam. I just want to leave this short phrase here: I returned, because this game just has too much potential to ignore and I want to support the developing team as this is not an easy task. Keep up the work and all the best, lads BlueEagleGER
  5. I'm pretty sure build strength gives extra HP and planking is just lower leak chance and lower water income per leak.
  6. Just seen this, and now there is your post As I already discussed in the video's comment section, here is an really interesting article on the War of 1812, with the British and the Canadian view at the time together with the US one, written by a British historian for the Smithsonian webside (and thus for US readers, but for the whole world aswell): http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/british-view-war-1812-quite-differently-americans-do-180951852/?no-ist Enjoy
  7. I got one times: Exeptional light carriages. Nice competition, although apparently some guys got 3 exeptional upgrades and a paint sceme (out of multiple chests?) I think the idea was good, but it scertinly needs reworking.
  8. Well there was a letter speaking of a "leaking flagship". Maybe it will be a storm event. oh, btw Yes, I am back. :-)
  9. Here you go: All pictures in full resolution here: http://imgur.com/a/rHHqu Some examples: HMS Grampus, razeed 50 gun SoL, formerly HMS Tremendous (1784), 74 gun SoL HMS Black Eagle, formerly HMS Firebrand (1831), paddle vessel HMS Glasgow (1814), 50 gun frigate, among HMSs Princess Alice, Poictiers, Malacca and Albatross
  10. I still have some photos from the Figurehead hall of the National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth, Once I have them organised, I'll post them here.
  11. The race now includes Venus and the two challengers, Christian and Ruyter. Maybe one of them gets picked by overtaking Chapmans design.
  12. Ehh, on what exactly are these diplomatic stati based? The last time I checked it was a FFA under each nation until the devs (uncertain, in the very distant future) add a ingame diplomatic mechanic.
  13. http://navalaction.wikia.com/wiki/ships Kameradenschwein, while the current infos are not that developed yet, the Naval Action wikia started by OlafDeng has pictures dor all the ships.
  14. It is great to see such a high population on the open sea with the public launch on steam. I understand that the ship poll is of limited importance in this phase but we all love new ships . Can we get a ETA on the ship selection for the actual poll, please?
  15. A employee of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard aboard HMS Victory told that, if all captured ships would have reached a british port in a sellable condition, Britain would have gone bankrupt as of the prize money. Maybe abit overstated (?), but just think about the value a high quality SoL had in the time.
  16. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/7440-on-this-day-21st-oct-1805-battle-of-trafalgar/#entry140247 1805: Off Cape Trafalgar the Royal Navy under Vice-Admiral Nelson wins the last decisive naval battle of the Napoleonic wars against a combined french-spanish fleet.
  17. Well, it was a quick google image search and it says: Plans for the Mosquitobit, the name under which the Lynx served in the RN. According to wikipedia (I know, I know) the RN mounted 8 carronades and 2 guns while the original version featured 6 guns, but you know...wiki It can also be that you wrote your post before my edit applied.
  18. Those are from google, so please check before using. For my unschooled eye they look acceptable: HMS Bellona, Royal Navy 3rd rate SoL Lynx, US privateer / letter of marque (this is the plan for the Lynx refitted by the Brits as HMS Mosquidobit)
  19. It is not like wooden warships had a artillery director with rangefinders in the mast tops, Hassie. Great, finaly some info about those ship characteristics, we can stop guessing now.
  20. Admin mentioned in a facebook message tbat they expect steam launch in ~3 months. This is NOT certain however and only a early estimation.
  21. Pretty heavily armed, that streamlined beauty
  22. After I had a disconnect because of my own router, I restarted the game, logged in and when I was on the Open World map, I had my chat window, without any channels open. So I tried to open nation and help with the + button, nothing happened. My next move was to bug-report it, I hit f11 and instead of the report client iI got a small message (at the same location where the f11-bugreport is) telling me "Creating issue. #0", nothing happened. After some clicking the chat window disappered completly. Then in battle (it only was like 500 OW metres away) I first had a chat window, a Open World type chat window without any channels, and then I closed it, and I could see the battlechat, I could write a response, yet it would not send it. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=517824094 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=517824164
  23. Tell me Pete, where do you have your camera? When I am underway my own masts don't "blind" me, infact I personally think it would take away too much atmosphere when the whole rigging vanishes when zoomed in.
  24. Oho, biology lessons,today: How do SoL reproduce Proably tavern stuff though.
