God Emperor Trump / Alan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hey there, I'm suggesting that we remove the current form of capturing ships and instead introduce another to replace it. This way would be that if you capture a ship, you have to physically tow the ship back to port. -You would physically have to drag your captured ship to ports -No capturing huge ships and sending them risk free home -No capturing friendly ships after a battle to send them risk free home -No sending ships halfway across the map risk free -Move at a reduced speed in the OW -Possibility of spending X minutes cutting the ship loose, or spending X minutes scuttling the ship (In the OW) Alternatively, crew loss could be made permanent after a battle until you can dock up. Then you can assign a portion of your crew to the captured ship as a prize crew and have it sail with you in your fleet. I would also like to see the option of towing demasted ships in battle, this would have to be done by maneuvering to the front of the ship and spending X seconds/minutes hooking yourself up to it. (Can only be done to friendlies obviously) This would allow for an otherwise disabled ship to either be hauled to safety, or allow the towing ship to turn the demasted ship so that it can bring its guns to bear. -X amount of seconds/minutes to hook up -Both ships move very slowly, captains have to be organized in their rudder use -Allows otherwise disabled ships to escape or fight again What do you think? What could be improved or changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Can be improved once and IF complex crew mechanics, like prize crews, supplies, etc, are developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the only reason I can possibly think of is "f* you, fun not allowed"? This literally sounds like you are looking for ways to make the game less fun and "game" and more work and painful... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This literally sounds like you are looking for ways to make the game less fun and "game" and more work and painful... Because I think the current system is bad and it gets abused all the time. Here's a FEW examples. -Go into a battle with a valuable ship, but enemies are outside waiting. Surrender a friendly ship or capture an enemy, either works, send valuable ship to safety -The same ship defending/attacking ports at two different sides of the map with very small time intervals -Capturing valuable ships from the enemy then sending them to home waters without any chance for the enemy to re-capture it -Sending huge amounts of ships across the map without any effort maybe they need 3 server types and see what happens hardcore pvp standard pvp and pve I don't think splitting up the current(quite low) population is a good idea, but that's just my opinion.

These "abuses" and "exploits" hardly make the game bad for anyone. Your "improvements" do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 No one towed ships. If they still had masts they would be sailed home by small prize crews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
