Sartarius Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi, are there any plans for Premium Ships? If so, are is there a Roadmap for those Ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelSandwich Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 No public roadmap yet, sorry. There were some indications of what they are aiming for: 1st and 2nd rates will not be premium ships. Those can only be crafted.Max rate for a premium ship will be a 3rd rate (maybe 4th)Battles with multiple sides is a bad idea. So the answer is no. Only 2 sides can be in 1 battle. Premium ships will be rare - as they won't be cheap (and will help to develop the game faster) They will still be a money sink - you have to pay for refits just like anyone else. They degrade to almost unusable state on capture - so they don't affect the balance of the economy High quality (exceptional) crafted ships will be better Exceptional crafted ships will be better - sometimes a lot better performance wise Premium ships will always be beautiful Keep in mind, these are indications! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Please don't call them Premium ships, call them Premium ship Skins. This means these ships will be same or weaker compared to those in game. I can confirm devs said Kickstarter packs with multiple new ship skins will be available in near future. This means you will simply select your favorite ship and start funding it's development. Once set amount is collected ship will go into Game Production. Devs must comment on more details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm devs said Kickstarter packs with multiple new ship skins will be available in near future. As I recall it, they said they DON'T have any plans for doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds real bad, mate. I hope you have a good source for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have a good source for this. I'm guessing it will be somthing like kickstarter. If the goal doesnt get reached then you get a refund 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we were asked about HMS Barfleur we said that we could try crowdfunding it via Kickstarter or a similar crowdfunding platform. There is no decision about it yet and we can not guarantee anything at the moment 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destraex Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I would suggest that premium ships can be captured but as soon as they are repairer turn into a standard ships of that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 As for them only being skins. I thought there was some sort of ship painter on the cards? I would want to fund ships not skins. Especially if those ships would not otherwise make it to game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 problem is people still scream balance. I actually wanted regular 6 monthly server restarts that allowed early timeline ships to thrive before the later ones appeared in game at the times they actually did in real life Fingers crossed for Galleons.

Crowd funded ships are not premium ships they will be added to all players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Crowd funded ships are not premium ships they will be added to all players. When can this be possible? I really want to fund these two: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3292-hms-mordaunt-1681-british-4th-rate-with-plans/ http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/7883-vanguard-british-3rd-rate-1787-with-plans/?hl=vanguard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderhorn Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 How much does it cost to make a ship? (Just trying to get a notion of what sort of money we're talking here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
