Coriolanus Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hi, It would be nice if there was a chance to catch the whales as in battle and draw the resources especially oil, and of course we will need whalers ships... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTMatt Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Got my support, seems like an obvious target especially for the planned privateer class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 As far as i am aware, and unless that has changed, the devs do not want to put whaling in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileus Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 That would be amazing amount of content and mechanics needed for a very little return. I would say it's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treveli Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 What about having just the ships and resources, and making then a rare, high value OW target? Something you have to search the deep blue for, takes awhile to find, but jackpot rewards when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. It's not politically correct but I like it. Of course war isn't all the politically correct either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chijohnaok Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Historically, it would be appropriate to have whaling ships and whaling resources (whale oil, etc) included in the game. I can understand though that the developers might be hesistant about doing this (from an optics standpoint). As mentioned above by Bach, it's not politically correct. After all, it is my understanding that they have made the decision not to include anything to do with the slave trade, even though this would also be historically accurate. It just does not look good from an optics standpoint. Also, who knows, adding whaling into the game could generate yet another pirate clan: Edited April 16, 2016 by Chijohnaok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggled Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 You might wanna brush up on your marine biology, whales dont live in warm water (only give birth there), those are manatees HAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale meat is food, excellent if I may say so, I eat whale meat once a year and it taste dilicious, I have no problem with that, killing fellow humans though that I don't fancy that much (RL).... In Norway we still hunt whales, and do so at sustainable level so we don't extint them, will keep our bellies full for years to come and our next generation will still have food on their plate. God bless our whalers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't even have to be an animal, maybe some sort of sea plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Where did people get the idea that whaling is "politically incorrect?" Did they not notice Hollywood just release a big budget blockbuster about a whaling ship? Herman Melville. So edgy. (That was a rhetorical question, by the way. I know that people search for any excuse to wank all over their screen by saying 'I am against political correctness, hurr durr.') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
