[If u had 30 billion to do anything you want?]

Hookers & blow.

[Drunk Crews!]

Or it had to be on pirate ships. There are some references to pirates on trial saying that free access to rum and/or gin was more or less what made them join a pirate crew. source: The Liverpool Privateers by Gomer Williams (1897).

Depends on the pirate captain as well. Some may have been more loose with the grog while others not so much.

[Reset input controls - workaround for problems with controls e.g. rudder.]

Manual skipper is started when using one of the four yard controls (RheaControl). Then you can switch back to auto-skipper with AutoSkipperSwitch. All those controls are customisable from the first starting menu.

Yes & I used that very same menu. This was around a month, maybe more ago & was told iirc that customizing keybinds was not yet fully supported & was something they were working on. I've been using Auto since then.

 

Some good news: I'm no longer crashing when a match ends. I suspect the crashing was something more on my end, than something the game did. Driver issue or something like that.

[Reset input controls - workaround for problems with controls e.g. rudder.]

A while back I tried binding my Auto/Manual Skipper function to another key as I was accidentally pressing it at the most inopportune times but as I found out setting a custom key binding is not yet supported. Since that time I have been using AutoSkipper only & I would very much like to be able to use ManualSkipper. I have followed the instructions on deleting the key binds in the regedit but that didn't work & I still cannot use Manual Skipper & now my game crashes to desktop after a match completes.  :*(

[Whats your ships name?]

I'd tell ya but I don't want anybody to steal it or use it to ID me once Open World is.. errr.. opened up.

[What music while playing Naval Action]

The sweet, sweet music of water splashing against the sides of my ship, the sound of wind in the sails, the roar of cannon fire & the splintering of wood of my enemy's ship.

[Star Citizen or Naval Action in the future]

Yes, I am stoked for SC. I also play ED & NA as well of course. I see no issues with playing all three.

[The start of something bad?!?!?!]

Could it be the Mary Celeste?

[Dialects of English - Why do Brits insult the American dialect?]

"Why do Brits insult the American dialect?"

 

Hang out with Brits long enough & you will see them diss on not just American accents but other accents as well, including the differing accents within thier own country. They're just busting balls is all. Return the favor. A word of warning tho, Brits can insult you & you won't even realise it until 3 days later & then you will be like "Hey! That wasn't really a compliment at all! What a f****er!"

[Getting low FPS on a fairly decent machine]

In the ingame menu you have Graphics Settings: Low, Medium, High, Ultra, Custom.

 

Click Custom ---> disable antistrophy. I noticed no visual change but gained around 20(!!!) FPS.

 

Thank you so much for this tidbit of info! It has helped me a great deal. This info needs to be stickied, it's that helpful & important.

[HMS Victory Rotting Away]

Might be time to build her into a glass greenhouse with holes for the masts.

Although that would be a shame.

 

That would be a terrible, terrible shame. Ships are built to sail as aircraft are built to fly & cars built to be driven. While I cringe at the risk of losing/damaging such a important historical(& beautiful) artifact, sailing, if even for a short distance, is what she was meant to do.

["I don' feel guilty, I don' feel guilty at all."]

A tale of crossing the Atlantic to the New World in the age of sail.

 

First came across this way back in the 90's, had the album. Thought it was fitting for the NA forum. Beware it's approximately 11 minutes long.

[Where did you get your In-Game name from?]

-edit-

nunya

[[suggestion] Name ships]

I'd rather see thousands of Constitutions & Victorys than see even one 1337HAXORZPi-RATE.

[Faith]

Completely irrelevant feature IMO.

Indeed, not needed in any way shape or form.

[Average age of Players?]

48, been addicted to pixels since the days of Pong.

[POLL - Where are you from?]

Edmonds(Seattle), Washington, USA

[Question about system requirements and DRM]

I'm not a Steam hater but recently I was considering boycotting Steam(the whole removal of Hatred from Greenlight thing) & it was then I realized just how much of a monopoly Steam has on gaming. If I had boycotted Steam I would've severely limited my game library. Try playing a game without Steam. Sure, sure they are out there, but so many are on Steam that it's gaming suicide to not use Steam, at least for me it is. The actual program & it's features I like, but I don't like the monopoly Steam has. It would be great if NA was released with it's own launcher as well as a Steam release. I like it when game devs give me other options other than just Steam.

[Modify the names over the ships ?]

I vote for no names. You want to ID a ship? Look at it's flag.

[More national flags in testing]

It would be awesome if we could design our own pirate jacks...

 

                                                                                        but I fear some numpty would screw it up for all of with us with a  bright pink Hello Kitty flag.

[When are the steamkeys sent out? I can't wait to start playing! :D]

I just bought the game several hours ago. I have a week to wait.

 

 

 

-EDIT-

Apparently I don't have to wait a week after all. Steam key arrived this morning. That's a pleasant surprise!  Many thanks!
