I really do not understand why u listen so mutch to these persons and fail people trying to make ur game work to their own advantages or however u want to call it but ive seen and drop of people joining or even tryign to start playing ur game i can say one thing ur new system aint working specially an buccaneers boarding ship going against an royal navy ship lols so funny the royal navy ship is boarded loses 200+-_ crew first hit so sorry to see this game go down this road i hope u the DEVS see into the it one day before well ur death ahahha like POTBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anolytic Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Some say that marines are OP. That may be, but everyone can have them. If you loose 200 crew first round then that's a failure of strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Some say that marines are OP. That may be, but everyone can have them. If you loose 200 crew first round then that's a failure of strategy. Marines aren't craft-able so no not every can have them. I got a MC set from a lower level player after he hit a trader a good long time back. Most others don't have anything better than t Green or Blue. Though the smart thing is just keep your distance and sink them if you know some one is board fit. We do it all the time and we grape there crew down before our boarder in the group goes in and keep graping them while he boards them so they are pretty much useless.

dagdriver Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Also, dont forget the better the Marines, the less seamen left to handle guns and sails. = slower reloads, slower manouvering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Also, dont forget the better the Marines, the less seamen left to handle guns and sails. = slower reloads, slower manouvering Exactly, if you are in battle, you need to identify as best you can your opponents setup. Cannonades versus cannon, boarding versus fighting. Many of the ships load guns very slowly when marines are on board, and even slower with boarding prep activated. I also have (and still do) run numerous missions with different setups to understand what to look for when my opponents run similar setups.

I noticed ever one of the AI ships I have boarded lately has had marines on them and seem to still fire just as fast as if they didn't and wasn't missing 100 crew either. I swear AI tends to hae like 10 mod slots and all gold mods half the time. Hell I'm only doing those missions to test new builds. I been trying to fill out my fleet a little better with a mixture of baording and combat set up. Hell I'm still the only one I know of that has made a boarding Mortar Brig and it's worked out twice in my favor just having that one Green Marine and barricades in the last slot of the 3/5 ship. I'm hoping the new patch makes certain crew mods actually that crew mods. Marines, Boarding Parties and Powder Monkeys should be a rig up option for ships when they leave port. Maybe it's one of the new building we are getting with the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van der Clam Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Some say that marines are OP. That may be, but everyone can have them. If you loose 200 crew first round then that's a failure of strategy. or a failure of connectivity. Every boarding battle comes down to milliseconds, and those with slower connection or lag spikes at crucial times will die in 1 or 2 rounds.

Yup pvp1 players will argue this but i have a good connection and can click at last second and have fair to good results but there have been a few times, more than a few, when my ping was pretty high and i would lose more often then not because no matter how close to zero i click i got out guessed. Ping and gold upgrades decide boarding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzyhead12 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 snip- Boarding will change to a diffrent systeme were you are able to move units rather then the current tic tac toe mechanic, other informations are not aviable to that topic. none of the Admins, devs or mods stated if it be 1st/3rd person, or RTS gameplay But a similer Boarding as in POTBS is likley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen v Martius Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 According to the updated roadmap they started work on a 3d HoMM/Mordheim style mechanic for boarding this month and (for now) expect to implement it in December/January. That should shake up the game aplenty in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Texas Sir Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 boarding seems to have been fixed killed a ship by zero morale still had 263 crew on board Yep and press gang works once more. I had hit a Vick that was about to sink and got an instant win with my Board fit Bucc and got back the crew I had lost before hand from splinters. I was like all new who's next? Yah got a feeling this might get adjusted a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
