mast damage,gun crews


Recommended Posts

watching vedios from jason,ja ja,clinchrifles,unclewily,paul and jims,(great fighting fellas),i noticed sails did not have holes when cannonballs passed thru them and some of these battels were vicious and took a lot of time,,thats a great thing,also the crew on the gun decks with bad pants stayed alive when they shud of been dead and gone,not sure why at this point they even put gun crews on the deck any way,waiste of programming time and band width for me,,however im sure this will be addressed just an observation,another thing was the lighter faster ships were not only able to get in the fight they were able to manouver harrasing the bigger ships and thats a wonderful thing,hope that never changes,the smaller ships were able to do thier jobs and get some licks in,,u cant beat that,,so the small faster ships will have a role in this game and thats a wonderful thing,however one small ship did got to close and paid the price ha ha as it shud,,so it looks to me the game is right,and it feels right,the game has a realistic feel to it from what im seeing in the vedios,,so the hard core pvp er not going to have that instant gratification and kill 20 players in an hour,,what is going to happen is a fight to the death lasting over an hour of more and being exhausted when its over. or not going to complain if a mutual cease fire accurs,,ha ha and thats a wonderful thing,,these ships take time to sink,thats great also,,game looks great

I would not let it be possible to repair a complete mast when it was shot down. In reality it is completely impossible to do that. And it is a part of strategy to try cutting an enemys mast to make him slower and unable to manouver.

In the sea trial forum this has been a point of argument Simfex.  But the dev's and many players have stated that for gameplay reasons you will be able to repair masts.  It is still very tactical to try and demast a ship.  Some players don't repair their masts, so I have demasted a victory before who got separated from his escorts and then ran away to go destroy the escorts before turning back to him.  Also, if a player does repair his masts, it is taking up a very precious repair from being used on the hull, so you might be able to sink them faster.

 It wasn't impossible, they did repair/make new masts if they were destroyed by nature or an enemy ship.

Not generally during a fight of course. Trying to slap the new mast in place while shots are being fired wouldn't have been very possible. They cut and ran as best as possible, continued fighting if they could, or in the worst case scenario furled sails and ran up the white flag.
