SphinX Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Super Secret intel has the Ingermanland with 470 crew, BP drops from Frigate. Le Gros Ventre can carry 4800 weight, 20 x 9pd max (10 cannons per side), drops from Belle Poule and Renom. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the wikia has most of the info right. 32 / 18 / 6 cannon loadout. How many bothans died this time for bring us this info? Thanks for new ships and other stuff devs!!!!! Keep the good job. None, but Admin Alex was incredibly nice, sitting in the help chat on PvP2 to answer our questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderhorn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 With a new large trader, will we see the current traders reduced back to their original hull capacities? (Right now they are at 4x capacity, to accomadate the lack of larger trade vessels.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Gros Ventre is no raider. She is an armed trade ship. Nothing more - nothing less Sure you will be able to wreck snows. But will you be able to run from enemies as easy as in your rens or surprises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalyd Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Admin Alex said they're not AI traders yet. I'd guess they'll end up being AI soon though. Thanks for the answer, I do hope that the devs add an additional rank between post captain (350 crew) and flag captain (650 crew) or just rework the quantity of crew for each rank. It's already a shame that there is so few people using 4th rate like the Constitution because of that gap, and I would hate to see such a beautiful vessel such as the ingermanland having the same fate. (even tho the new crew system slightly increased the quantity of undercrewed Constitution). Edited March 31, 2016 by Nalyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even tho the new crew system slightly increased the quantity of undercrewed Constitution). We could do it closer to release It is indeed a shame. But until rank requires you to sail certain ships it is hard to achieve, people will choose ships that let you perform better at sea skipping all others. We do not have ideas yet on how to do it without "forced by design" The number of frigates actually can support national ships somewhat to an extent (for example - constitution is US only, trincomalee is british/french only, etc) (This thread is for patch feedback. To discuss restricting ships to the Nation that built/ sailed them, please use this thread - http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/12224-ship-crafting-restricted-for-every-nation/ Thanks!) H.

Ned Loe Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nice work. Question is - will players move from Snow to Le Gros Ventre. How big is the cargo space on Le Gros Ventre and will they be able to run when ganked in this beautiful new trader ship. If you really want people to move to larger traders, reduce cargo space on Smaller ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderhorn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think it just depends on if we still keep the inflated hull capacities for TLynx, TCutter, TBrig, and TSnows. Also, with how many commerce raiders are using Snows and Surprises, something like the Gros will really give the traders a chance at an honest fight back. Will it be used? I wager to the exclusion of TBrigs and TSnows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenfish Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I made an account especially to thank you guys for adding the new ships. As a member of a trader clan I can't wait to get my hands on the new trader. Will be making a Belle tonight in the hope of a BP drop... Thanks again for all your effort making this great game.
