Sir. Cunningham Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Was wondering wether there are plans about letting players upgrade their ship armaments? An example could be upgrading from 32 to 42 pounder guns on ships where provisions were made for such upgrades (i.e. there being space for it), a famous example being the HMS Victory which switched between using thirty 32 or 42 pounder guns on the lower gun deck. Another possible upgrade could be going from a linstock & match firing method to the better gunlock mechanism which supposedly improved accuracy in heavy seas. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Reb Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The admins have stated that we will be able to choose our gun size within certain parameters and I believe they have talked about different quality powders that could be used to improve performance.

That sounds great, thanks for the update Johny Reb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagann Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I hope to sea this feature ingame. Allow players to upgrade their gun battery according to their level/experience/grade. But upgrading to a larger caliber would mean heavier weight and consequences on the seakeeping of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 We can change weaponry in this very testbuild. We will have this in the final game for sure. Next to the gunsizens the captain can also decide if he wants long cannons or short carronades. Not sure about the upgradeability of mortars, tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But upggrading or downgrading guns caliber changes the ship seakeeping ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 not yet not that i have noticed but it will come sooner or later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagann Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Ty. Other question : Will it be possible (or is it already) possible to change guns for caronades and add a few guns, as they did in that time ? So that players can choose their tactics : firepower or speed, guns or caronades ? etc... But i really hop theses change will be only possible in ports, not in the middle of the ocean, just before each battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirones Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 we can deside if we can use caronades and guns on a gund eck and the size of em. surpise cant take 12lb on top deck and gun deck or 9lb/6lb on top deck or 6/9/12 on gun deck for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
