Charles Dexter Ward Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hello all, I've created a basic guide for Naval Action in illustrator with diagrams, etc. to help visualize and understand how things work better and what some naval expressions mean. It's in PDF form. http://docdro.id/2vcZJOB It's still in progress... Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you see any errors. Thank you! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la Touche-Treville Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hey, this is really well done! It greatly helps when all players in the group are familiar with these sailing terms. I'm getting tired of repeating the same answers on the help channel so I'll now just link this manual Please keep up the good work. Frequent questions I see are (in no particular order): - What ship can I sail at my level? - What cannons can I equip? - How do I join a battle? - How do I take a mission? - How do I find my mission? - What's the best way to make money? - How do I progress in this game? If I could have one PDF or web page with all the answers regrouped, that would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will update the guide then with these FAQs at the 1st page probably and will reply here when it's done... The boarding system is currently what i am writing, but due to some RL issues it's taking more time than what i wanted. Anyway... will reply here once it's done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la Touche-Treville Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Charles Dexter Ward, you created a fine guide here! This URL is going to my bookmarks and I'll certainly spam it in the help channel. Many thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Adams Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thank you Charles, I'll be purchasing Naval Action this weekend and I'm trying to acquire as much information as possible beforehand. Regards, Chad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herrick Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Excellent Guide! Are you thinking of adding anything about crafting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Dexter Ward Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yes, after boarding, i will be adding information about crafting and trading. Although both are concepts i have to learn myself first, but it will be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahabse7en Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Yup. Great guide! Clear, concise and simple - which isn't an easy thing to do. I'll definitely be giving this link in chat for those new to the game. A suggestion, maybe make a mention that using manual sails isn't effective in non-square rigged ships. I've seen a few comments in chat about when a cutter should switch to manual sails. Nice job. I look forward to seeing your additions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrik die Seevaarder Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Nice work! Unless I'm reading your chart incorrectly, I think you swapped "close-" and "broad reach" around on the "reaching" page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm reading your chart incorrectly, I think you swapped "close-" and "broad reach" around on the "reaching" page. Thank you Close Reach is towards being downwind, while Broad Reach is towards being upwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herrick Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm working on some Crafting tips myself. Would you like to see the content? If it works, I'd be happy for you to add to your guide. It would make sense to minimize the number of guides a guy has to read ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
