Prater Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome. I do think that surrender should be available when you are sinking and on fire. That is when you are supposed to surrender. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyurtle Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Crafting 3rd rates drops beucentaur BP soooo are we talking about all 3rd rates or just 3rd rates????or should I say bellona74s? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Good to see the economy and shipbuilding perks implemented. I suggested a few of them but I see you have thought further and come up with even more ideas. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanay Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 No Santa Cecilia ? Thing i was the more looking for in this patch sadly. Like already said not fan of officer perks with officer limited lifes and all xp needed plus the imbalance it create between top ranked players able to grind 35K xp quickly and others needing a long time to do this or simply not able to be on par with other players as them total cumulated level xp isn't reaching 35K , plus no sign of multiples officers for multiples tasks or ships types, unless economy perks are added into a different kind of perks pool, don't see how a fighting officer should have an effect on economy or ships building process. Bit unclear for now, have to see this in game and see perks details to say more about some listed ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheatos503 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 press gang, thats also my clan recruitment strategy as well thanks for letting us TP out kits, now that i have 50 of each flavor in every port.. is the cap on the officers going to go up or are we getting new officers as well? cant really effectively test all the permutations without being able to have multiple sets of officers. hope you guys realize this 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClintEaststick Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Fantastic update guys, I left for 3 months and am now back and in that time the game has improved drastically. Thank's for the hard work you do, keep at it. The battle and economy perks/skills system sounds fantastic and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Yowilly Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I also agree we need more officers so we can make specialists to be put on different ships....otherwise most of your new officer perks will never get used.

Pagan Pete Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Looks good on paper… except; Will the randomization in shipwreck content get rid of the "Everything is gold!" modules? Because Gold is the new basic upgrade now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit unclear for now, have to see this in game and see perks details to say more about some listed ... Was hoping for a new frigate also :/ Moderators spoiled us showing them of i guess. As for the imbalance, theres already mods (best of which cost quite a penny) and the general fact that a high level players will be sailing in a super frigate or a line ship, so i doubt officers make that much of a difference Area of Control is gonna be abused. small fast ships tying up slow big ships...... John Bernard Shaw Cable (GB) Hence the 500 meter radius i assume. You can shred smaller ships and their sails at 500 meters even if you are not the most accurate of captains.

CaptainWally Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 With the increase in officer perks, are there any plans to increase the number of officers we can have? It would be nice to have several officers that have different perks and be able to have them come aboard in port. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akd Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome. I do think that surrender should be available when you are sinking and on fire. That is when you are supposed to surrender. But it is too late then. You are on fire, you haul down your colors, your ship explodes and everyone dies. Surrender was pointless. You are sinking, you haul down your colors, ship goes under and everyone dies. Surrender was pointless. That said, I would prefer a more nuanced mechanic, e.g. a combination of "freezing" leaks / fire after surrender to preserve prize for opponent, but also a longer surrender timer to make last second surrenders riskier. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Awesome! One important request from me and many other players - please, please for the love of Zeus remove that chicken shed from the back of Bucentaure ship. Such beautiful lines unbalanced by a not needed box on the back of such beautiful ship. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
