Some numbers first. We can craft 43 ships. 6 of them are traders. Consequently, 37 warships. From those 37 warships, 20 requires a permit. 54% of the warships requires a permit. From those 20 permits, 9 can only be earned by having luck opening a gold/captain/admiral chest. Consequently, 24% of the warships we can craft depends on RNG. This means that we can open several chests and still dont get the permit we are looking for. As it is, the current system will lead to player frustration. In Naval Action, the ships are our toons, and we want to sail the toons we like. This system based on RNG is just a HUGE mistake. If you look at other mmos end game looting tables, the rewards often gave you a token item which allows you to exchange it for the stuff you want. No RNG. Discuss.

Could you have a popup box that states what you receive from the chests to avoid having stacked items being lost to the abyss of messy warehouses? This way we could find out just how many basic hooks we receive from mission chests. xD Thanks and provide opinions.

Would it please our benevolent Devs to add some kind of actual viable reward system for partaking in the antics that is player. Verses. Player. Personally I'm getting very poor in game due to the lack of any actual ability to generate income from PvP - in the PvP server. Atm the only true profit from PvP is if you capture the enemy ship, which, let's be honest, is only useful if they have a good ship,,,,, and to point out: the ones with good ships, 1 aren't alone, 2 aren't stupid, 3 will probably sink you anyway (most of the time) The dubs kind of reward is meh, not worth the risk, looted by the enemy more than you, and hardly worth what the ship you sink is (mostly never even close). I propose ::::::::::: 1 .something like player created bounties in the mission section, or admiralty created, specific to those who sink players in your nation, or those participating in port battles against your nation. 2. The missions already there, but adjusted for pvp ships and rewards in the form of ship notes, to make up for extra risk, i.e. sink 5 british player 5th rates - reward 2 suprise notes. 3. Add RNG drops on PvP ships when sunk, ofc this can be anything from notes to mods to books. I would not like this, as again enemy would loot more. However it is something. 4 ..........post in suggestions. Now grill my stupid idea.

Killing a player trincomalee gives 13 dubloons. Is this intended or a bug ? Seems like it is giving us 13 pvp marks but in form of dubloons. I think it should be multiplied with some fixed amount. Why would I risk a ship costing let's say 2500 dubloons plus all the crafting woods and labour hours to kill another ship giving you 13 dubloons. This is a risk but no reward system. I do not care if RNG will give me 500 dubloons in one the pvp kills. It is better now to go and farm predictive and stupid ai ships, instead of attacking more dangerous human players. As I can kill much more ai with less risk hoping RNG will give me more dubloons in holds. *** to sum it up, Admirality should give fixed amount of dubloons for pvp kills which are worth the effort. RNG looted dubloons are your luck, but admirality will reward me more generous for kills.

Ahoy Mateys! Do ye fancy making some Gold or Marks? There be some Scallywags causing trouble for us Gentlemen o' fortune. I want these Scurvy dogs sent t' Davy Jones' Locker! or if ye capture der ship! Ya can keep it! Just send the Captain to us honest folk to be keelhauled! Aslong as ye get them in the open sea! No Port battles! and show the evidence of t' demise here! Ya shall get the gold by one of t' free ports! You can't sink someone of ye own nation! Unless pirate ofcourse! But if someone in the Nationals Sinks one of these Scurvy Dogs I be a honest pirate n' pay up! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With me returning to the game and with a good number of requests to start the black spot again i thought why the hell not? so this is the new version of the Old Marked with the Black spot on PVP1. I'll also try to keep this one more crisp and clean this time around. (If someone wants someone else on the list PM me the guys you want on the list and the amount or give me the gold to remain anonymous or post here and ill throw them on and the price you be offering for the death has to be atleast 500,000 gold or PVP/Combat Marks. Everyone listed is not marked by just me but by a group of people so just because your on here does not mean i want to attack you) For more Bountys on various other people visit SALTY Discord which has been running a bounty system on it for the past 6 months invite here: https://discord.gg/4dPCwBa _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some Rules: -No Port Battle Kills -No Green on Green -Post here a images of there demise or PM me ingame of the images etc and ill try and get in contact ASAP to reward ya! 2 Images prefered them taking damage, and them sinking/with the leaderboard. -If you end up dying in the engagement aswell it does not count (Fire ships/explosions) -Any added requirements by the person who sets the mark will have to keep track of it and will dictate the reward i'm just putting the Mark to show they're targeted and how much you'll ATLEAST get. - Only 1 person at a time can set a mark on someone, that means multiple people can't stack onto one mark. This saves the guy who kills the mark from going to 3+ different guys for the reward. (Encourages higher bounty's also or pooling the reward onto 1 person.) Optional: Also If people want and trust me, give me the gold and i'll pay the guy who completes the mark upon completion. If they mark is cancelled i'll refund the Gold. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kill on Sight Bounty's Simply Kill these guys to get the reward no strings attached. (Would highly suggest paying me the reward in advance so i can pay out as soon as they're claimed) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ More Specified Requirement Bounty's These bounty's require some additional requirement, be it "1v1 only or 5th Rates Only etc"

Clarification: this post is about adjusting PvP marks distribution between two or more players who sank a ship. I would suggest to increase damage to 25 damage per crew (as opposed to current 15), as well as drastically increase damage for sails. Reason - killing 500 crew in Santi is harder than lowering just one side to 40% and gives a more significant advantage in battle. Killing sails is now also critical and requires more skill with limited chain. During battles usually everyone tries to kill sides, while people who are asked to chain and rake feel they are missing out on rewards. It would be great to have proper rewards for leaks which kill enemy as well, however I understand it's harder to code.

Hey, I thought I put some work into that and collect/suggest different changes to RvR to make it interesting and not a pain again. Hostilitymissions and how they should change The portbattle itself and the reward and why it should feature a instant reward Ports and their Management The port costs and timers The use of ports and connection to crafting Hostilitymissions and how they should change Hostilitymissions are good right now when it comes to distance to port, defenderadvantage etc. What is bad about them is that they take a shit ton of time. In short there is a table I made: 1st rate BR 560 Time for 1 mission 25 1st rate sank = 3% Right now Suggestion Port BR Hostility 1 mission Normal Groupsize in PB Needed Hostility Missions needed for PB group Time needed in minutes Needed Hostility Missions needed for PB group Missions at same time Time needed in minutes 2640 4480 8 18667 4,17 125 8000 1,79 0,8 55,80 5380 5600 14 ? ? ? 18000 2,30 1,4 57,40 10560 5600 21 ? ? ? 28000 2,38 2,1 59,52 So in my oppinion it should take 1 hour for a portbattlegroup to flip a port. Within 1 hour it is possible for a defender to defend the port. A big group can probably instaflip ports again but only the lower BR ports. 2. The portbattle itself and the reward and why it should feature a instant reward Doing a portbattle should give a instant reward to reward players instantly for being active in the game (and winning). However this should not be Victorymarks but it should be chests. Different chests should get into the game, not weighting much where you can loot stuff. These chests should be dependend on how much BR you sank in the PB. BR levels: 2000 BR sank Chest with Gold 4000 BR sank Chest with Gold and frigatenote maybe 8000 BR sank Chest with Gold and 4th/3rd rate note 12000 BR sank Chest with Gold and 2nd rate note 16000 BR sank Chest with Gold and Victorymark, 1st rate note and Paint This means 5 different chests with different levels of loot from. (Devs probably know better what should be inside the chests) Why BR sank? To fight a bit against damagefarming or organized prtbattles etc. For good rewards you need to sink a lot of ships. The best chests will only be available if a lot of ships sank. Rewards should go to both sides of the battle. The winner already gets the port itself. 3. Ports and their management Ports lack some management options right now. You should be able to not only give up a port but to transfer ownership to another clan You should be able to get a few of the ressouces that this port drops only for your clan Or you should be able to lock it for your clan and friendly clans for a payment of 500.000 gold a day Also a specialization of the port would be nice. Trading (more tradinggoods) Crafting (bonus to RNG look below) Labor (Reduced labor hour costs) 4. Port costs and timers Are fine right now in my oppinion. Timer cost a lot and that goes both ways. It’s fine. 5. The use of ports and connection to crafting Right now a lot of ports don’t give you anything so in my oppinion new modifiers to craftingRNG should be added. Right now there are a lot of refits that only drop from capping AI ships. They should be tied to ports that have no meaning right now. (And they should be nerfed, Pirate rig and carta) Also the port should be able to specialize in something. The owning clan should be able to set a specialization of shipbuilding (Fast, sturdy, Crew) Both only give a bigger chance than crafting in the safezone. There should not be a chance higher than 30% for both specializations so safezone crafting is still efficient aswell. Why? To not make it necessary to own them for portbattles or something else. I think these changes would benefit the current RvR a lot while not making it necessary to play RvR. edit 12.04.2018 6. Let changing a timer take 2 maintenances Right now you can change a timer if you know your enemy is preparing for a attack the next day. This shouldn't be possible that fast. Better: Timerchange happens on monday with VM mark giveaway. If you cap a port you can set a timer next maintenance 7. Different paints for different nations Only a bit connected to RvR but it allways bothers me that every ship looks the same and only the flag is different. In my oppinion every nation should have a different default paintjob making battles far more immersive in my oppinion. Bernadottes post of a statisfaction system of ports connected to hostility needed etc. for a port: 8. more taxes Repairing in port should go to the clan owning the port Crafting (the gold you pay) should go to the clan owning the port 9.

Hello! I want, once again, to point out the unfairness existing in the game regarding battle rewards. It is the third time i participate in a PB "fought heroically" and in the end lost the battle. According to the actuall game logic i gained nothing, no exp, no money nothing. And so, when eventually i will get a new ship (Wasa) there will be no experience on it it will be like i never used that ship before. And now, lets assume that i am a some what new player, puting everything i owned in to this one ship get in a fight and loose this ship. The next step, is back to a bassic cutter OR, and i am sure this happend before, just quit this and find another game that does not punish me so much. In my case, i am fortunate enough to be part of a clan that helps out in this kind of situations. And they are acctually what brings me back to the game, win or loose we try to keep together! As a conclusion, i want to ask the devs to reconsider this decision, because no one ever got happy to see the "Battle Rewards No Rewards" at the end of a battle. PS. As a show of good will i promise to write a beautiful positive review of the game if this issue is addressed! (maybe @adminlike this aproach better)

TL;DR Hard work and skill needs to be rewarded. For the story to be understood, chapter 1 must be read. Except for the part of the entertainment modifier, this I want to do differently. It'll still address the same issues, prevent damage farming and reward good gankees. The amount mentioned in chapter 1 will no longer be gold, but rather (battle) points. The winner(s) receiving a bonus of 100% (/ 2x). XP and Combat Marks can remain the same. Gold however should become quite a different structure. The value (/cost) of everything sunk, including cargo and repairs used in battle will be tossed in a prize pool. Non player owned (/ NPC) ships will be valued at 0. So PvE missions don't become a money tree and PvP rewards increase. However PvE missions will have a base value. At the end of a battle each players reward is then his/her battle points normalized against the prize pool. Who sees trouble in such a setup? -
Just a thought: Different paints could be handed out for different rewards, some of them being specific to that exact ship. * Red paint: PvP only. This exact ship has killed at least 1500 total enemy crew. Only counts actual cannon shots, not deaths due to sinking. * Black paint: PvP only. This exact ship has sank at least 5x its own BR worth of enemy ships. So a 100 BR ship can be black after sinking (kill credit, not assist) 500 BR of enemy ships. * White paint: PvP only. Dealt at least [I don't know] total damage to enemy sails. "Exact ship" meaning the stat is tracked for that physical ship -- not the model. This one Surprise of yours has earned black paint but that doesn't mean you can put it on any other Surprise. When it sinks, the black paint goes with it. (Should paint follow the ship around? If someone else steals it or you sell it, does the paint stay? I'm kind of thinking it should. Nobody repainted the Black Pearl.) Other paints could be earned as a captain, like a ship knowledge slot. The 6th knowledge unlock is actually a variety of paint schemes you can always apply to that model of ship, because you earned it via XP. Just thinking that when/if paint actually gets here, there are some interesting things to consider other than just looting or crafting one and slapping it on and having it mean nothing.

I have reported this as a bug using f11 in game, however there has been some debate as to weather it is a bug or an intended mechanic. The problem is that I never receive battle rewards for Pirate vs Pirate ai battles. The screenshots attached show my pre-battle amount of gold as well as my post-battle amount of gold which are the same, despite the history log showing that I should have received 40+ thousand gold for the battle. This has happened on three occasions now, against pirate ai ships of the line. I have waited over an hour and tried restarting my game however I never receive the battle rewards. I have asked other pirates to check if they receive rewards from pirate vs pirate ai battles and they have said that they do receive the rewards, but I'm not sure if they just checked the history log or if they checked that the reward was actually received.

I dont know you but I need to do several missions per day or some trading routes to win the gold to keep running my clan activities. And, for me, it is not fun to spend so much time to win enough gold to harvest the mines. Repairs arent cheap at all and collecting all the ressources needed for this basic consumable is a shore. NPCs dont give you enough kits to go to do some pvp after a pve battle. Cannons crafting requirements are absurd, the amount of iron ore is beyond meassure, LHs and gold just vanish in a matter of several clicks. If I need so much gold, I invest less time pvping. PVP overall is not profitable except for earning marks. Marks you will not sell (I still havent seen any pvp mark being sold). Please devs, relax a bit this grinding. Improve a bit the rewards in pve activities like trading and sinking npc and increase a lot the gold rewards in pvp to really promote it. -
Economy changes of the testbed server. Patch 9.99
Intrepido posted a topic in Open world discussions
I decided to open this thread to try to collect all our thoughts of the incoming economy model. I´ll begin. -Ressources/mining: If we set a shiyard we can only craft 4 types of ressources. Maybe a bit short for a small playerbase. Crafting is going to be slower due to the search of the ressources. Slower crafting, less pvp. -Consumables: crafting rig or hull repairs are ok. Medkits is almost imposible due to the lack of rum, sugar, tobacco. -Crew hiring: 500 gold per crew member is impossible to sustain. We need to be able to craft the medkits. -Expansion slots: Before we have at maximun 8 outpost with 5 slots each. The cost of the last outpost wasnt more than 2 millions if Im not mistaken. Now from 40 (8*5) slots for ships we are going to have half of it, only 20-25 (not sure exact number). Each expansion is quite far expensive than before and it only gives us 3 more slots. It is absurd all this cause we now have only one durability ships. -Rewards: battles are going to be used for the farm of marks. The money you earn is not enought for other activities. In the best scenario that gold is enough to repair your ship and hire new crew in ports. -Trading goods: This is going to be one of the main sources of income for players. However, despite its importance, the trading goods are lacking (not enough quatities) even in a server with a maximun pop of 75 people online. -NPC traders: While there are a lot more, the value of their cargo makes them absolutely useless. Given the fact that you earn nothing selling the ship neither its cargo and marks the current npc traders are just sea decorators. - The removal of the delivery system. Probably one of the worst ideas ever. Let me explain. Just imagine you are Dutch/France/Sweden/Denmark and you succesfully conquer a distant region with a key ressource or regional bonus, lets say our dearest live oak. Without the delivery system you need to move that ressource through the entire caribbean to the crafting point which is usually going to be around your homewaters. Absolutely painful. Now, your POV.- 131 replies

CALLING ALL CAPTAINS! Streamers and recorders welcomed! This poll is to see which event most people are interested in. I am hoping to see huge participation from all nations and provide captains with rewards for completing specific goals, courtesy of yours truly. The event will be either Friday or Saturday nights, the last event of the evening, depending on which event most people vote for. Possible goals: Capture a certain ship with a certain ship Capture/Kill a certain player Most kills when out-numbered Out-gunned, but not out-sailed (killing larger ship) Lone survivor (last one alive from losing team) Possibly others with suggestions Possible rewards: Ship paints Ship notes Gold Materials Name recognition on this leaderboard To receive any rewards, it is required to post screenshots. Please respond with any suggestions. This all would go much better if all political alliances were removed in event circles (to devs: hint, hint; but also to those voting for alliances).

I was thinking about this game and something to increase the level of action in it. What I have noticed: The Game is Fun! The game is an insane amount of fun. In battles, especially against other players, the excitement, or horror is there. The tension flows with tides of battle, and peaks in both frustration and glorious success. Even before the battle starts, as you spot your enemy, or prey, you feel the action of Naval Action. Even after a hard won battle, another battle may be waiting outside of the battle which just adds to the excitement of the game. The Ship Building Every game, especially ones on grand scales, always feels like its missing something. BUT that is natural. No game will satisfy the infinite amount of wants an individual will have for any game they purchase. The ships in Naval Action are that missing feel for me. The amount of time it takes to craft, for the risk I put on it, just does not justify the means to build a ship I would want to sail. Now I know this is hard to understand so I'll list my suggestions: Ships feel very macro when I build them, and for that reason I do not really use my hours. I rather just buy them. I would gather a bunch of resources, throw it in a port, and spam my hours on a (lets be honest) clunky interface. My time is better spent buying a ship, or placing an order for it. If I wanted to build my own ship, I would want: To personally oversee and direct the construction of it. Where the port holes are. Where the crew quarters are. Where to double reinforce. Manual placement of my modules All of this in an animated scene, dynamic to my above actions. I want to see my hull being laid down over days for example.... slow like. I would also like to hire contracts, but more on this later. *More of an aside, but directly related. The Resource Gathering The AI traders are far too neglected as a resource unit. AI traders to me, are the most underdeveloped part of the game. Large AI fleets have a purpose, albeit niche, but what purpose do AI traders serve to the benefit of the nation in general? There needs to be some function to coordinate that resource as a nation, and I think voting might be the answer. Admiralty of The Navy As Admiralty of The Navy you are eligible to vote for 3 regions in which trader vessels will direct their focuses. As Admiralty of the Navy you and the other admirals will direct the efforts of the navy's resources and harness the full strength of your nation. Must be Rear Admiral. Must be level 25 crafting. Must have all ports unlocked. Must have minimum 1 Ship Yard in any port. A separate panel to directly hire any amount of trader vessels of the available AI fleet to deliver directly to you at the port of purchase. Requires empty delivery slot. Requires available contract slot. Max weight 1000. Max Return Interval 2 days. Minimum fee per day 85,000, and resource fees and insurance if desired. Direct Voting The above without regard to craft level or experience level. Contraction of AI Trader Vessels Only A separate panel to directly hire any amount of trader vessels of the available AI fleet to deliver directly to you at the port of purchase. Requires empty delivery slot. Requires available contract slot. Max weight 1000. Max Return Interval 2 days. Minimum fee per day 85,000, and resource fees and insurance if desired. Trader vessels become available immeidately after they are released from contract. Pay up front, or later but risk compounding penalties. Votes direct the availability and are similar to politics voting. A percentage of the population of AI traders will be supplied to the corresponding ratio of votes any region may have received, to total votes. Will update later tomorrow. Also, when switching from bullet point to numerals there was no support to change the actual number from 1 to a 2, etc.

TL;DR Hard work and skill needs to be rewarded. Hearing reports of a British 6th rate fleet near Baxo Nuevo, I quickly readied my Suprise and set sail to intercept. With The Lone Wolf scouting out their movements I had no trouble lining myself up for the gank. There I was happily fighting along side some British flies. I almost had them, when I was forced into a surrender. Then gasp, only 16076 gold and 189 XP for such a good gank, fight and general entertainment? Not to mention the other party not getting too much, because hey, I surrendered. What would you do? And the details. But there are many more details: Hull x286 Sails x15 Shock x1 Leak x40 Cannon x2 Crew x21 Casualties x103 So rather than having a simple reward for damage, I would like to go to a more elaborate model. For example (and I'm just making up numbers here): Hull $10 Sails $5 Shock $1000 Leak $500 Cannon $25 Crew $10 Casualties $10 Then added to that we do an entertainment modifier, which is basically: damage received / damage sent This to prevent damage farming and such. Plus it rewards good gankees. (On traders you do little damage to get the goods, so that should balance out as well.) It would boil down to a reward of $40,395 as opposed to the current $16,076. Not too much, just good enough to ensure people go into good PvP fights. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VIzDMmnXiq59XBjVmlIvntCm2RTcoypymowm4Qh7S4A/edit#gid=1106635557 Note that the whole kill/surrender is no longer part of it. If someone wants to scuttle and go for the whaleboats, so be it. It might even be a dynamic money faucet or tied to diplomatic agreements. The most important is rewarding players for providing content. For reference here is the log from my end:
-
So I had an incident when crafting. I got some recipes as a reward (Constitution, Ingermanland, and Essex) but did not have enough room in my warehouse so I lost 2 of the three. So this got me thinking- what if the recipes that can't fit in your warehouse become redeemables? Or all recipes are redeemables?
