Yes I agree there should be a compromise but they will have to come up with an idea in which you are not able to just escape from attackers.

Welcome mate

Thanks again for the info Tommy!

Yeah sorry I did not see the reply, I restarted steam a few times then it seemed to work

I am pretty sure (correct me if I am wrong) that later on we will be seeing some sort of more in depth ship customization so maybe with that being introduced we will be able to put a certain country's paint scheme on each ship. For instance if you have a Victory and you are sailing in a French fleet you will be able to assign the ship a French paint instead of having the British one.

That does sound like a good idea! It would help out with navigation a lot, I have a lot of experience with missing the island that I am heading for and this would be very useful as you could right your mistake before you have gone miles past.

If anyone does know how to fix this issue it would be most appreciated!

Well I was playing this morning fine and now I cannot connect. Message is as follows - Error: Login queue request failed

Yeah this is a good point but I do think that they will be adding more ranks in anyway as the development continues.

Hey Tommy, thanks for that info I will go ahead and add that.

I do apologies, I have forgotten to add it in, I will get on that now!

Just want to say, if anyone has any information on the higher ranks then feel free to PM me with some info on them! Thanks.

No worries

Yes it was from a message that I had with an admin.

In the new version which is going to be released it will be Midshipman then Ensign.

Yeah I have moved my thread to this part of the forum as it is easier for people to find and view. Also the post has been updated as the Ensign and Midshipman rank have been switched around in seniority!

Hey there guys, I am making this thread because I thought it would be useful for us players to know how many crew members each ship requires to sail properly, especially when in the Open World Test. I did look for a thread like this but had no luck finding one so apologies if someone has already made one!
