MassimoSud Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just tested on a pirate frigate the spanish rig refit. It seems no benefit downwind, is it supposed to work like that or is a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassimoSud Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just tested on a trinco the spanish rig refit. No bonus sailing downwind as with the pirate frigate. I m asking if this is correct. Thanks for the reply (if it will come). Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to use this topic for feedback on stats and performances of the upgrades. Keep in mind that many blueprints require some regional resources to produce - not all of them can be easily made. This is the list of blueprints that will require additional items that are not easily available (drop from NPCs). Elite Spanish Rig Refit Elite British Rig Refit Elite French Rig Refit Elite Pirate Rig Refit French Gunnery Sergeant British Gunnery Sergeant Northern Master Carpenters Nassau Fencing Masters Guacata Superior Gunpowder Almeria Superior Gunpowder The rest of blueprints have the required resources available by trading and can be bought in ports. I see no notes on French Gunnery, or the French Gunnery Sergeant. I have however found a french Special good that has no current use "Diplome de L'ecole D'artillerie". Did someone forget to put the Gunnery items in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sant Lago is 3, Danes told me San Juan was 3 and I think it's the same for San Domingo. Since Morgan hasn't been attacked we have no clue what it produces yet. Maybe some one from US can pip in and let us know what NO gives since they recently captured that one. Would be nice if we can get a list of the other ports and see which ones give what, but I figured the dropped it cause of balance issues. I'm sure the will if they need to, but it looks more like they will balance CM's by raising the SHOP permit/BP prices in the future. I kinda like some regions are more important than others, but would of been nice if they keep the crafted refit thing to them or went with NATION REFITs only craftedable by that nation only. So only way to get them was to trader with that nation or capture a ship with ti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Wind Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I miss the regions giving region bonuses. It promoted diversity in crafting locations, everyone had their own little 'home bases' instead of everyone always chilling at the Capitals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will not give you over 100% bonus to your sails. So if you are sailing at 135 in a trinc, your best point of sail you will only get 100% of your sails, but if you turn to say 90, you will get more speed than if you did not have it. Because the trinc isnt running at 100% at that angle. Yeah, what makes it awesome it that it increases your acceleration and makes your points of sail all-around better (ie. you'll get max or near max sail at more angles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darayavahus Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Ok what about getting some upgrades at all? I don't think any other nation than Spanish can get "Cartagen Tar" for example. The same for "Grietje van Dijk", "Crooked Cedar"... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the staysail shipknowledge, it increases speed upwind and decreases speed downwind. So why this perk doesn t effect speed downwind (it s expected to raise speed a bit) and upwind (malus to speed)? I will be happy if a dev will reply to me (pushing the pray button atm perhaps it works this way). Again i thank you for you reply (if it will come). Sincerely one of your "tester".

Please admin i think spanish rig refit is bugged! I haven't done as much testing as you, but I think that you are right. I had a Spanish Rig on a ship and I swear it gained 0.2 knots or so going downwind. But now, that same ship will only hit it's listed speed of about 13.6. Makes me wonder if something changed with Spanish Rig, or if I am just mis-remembering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 quantity or places where some of the items (Grietje van Dijk for example) need to be increased or added to NPC loot. next to impossible to get it and the dutch have a "producing" port next door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preble Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 About diagonal riders--from a physical perspective, I'm fairly confident that they don't decrease speed. They may increase the weight of the ship, but they both allow the ship to carry heavier loads on the gundecks, strengthen the sides, and prevent the hull from hogging (bowing down fore and aft) over the long term, which improves the ship's handling characteristics. They do decrease space in the hold, so if you're looking for a tradeoff, that's probably the way to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke was on him the whole time, he never stood a chance, hes using a ship with no refits! HA! Yeah, either that, or he could learn from his mistakes and avoid those hot zones and buy a couple of refits.

Those hotzones being right outside his capitol port and every other port the pirates have decided not to bother with because they don't need to capture any ships at all. They just need to farm passive conquest marks and they are the most powerful nation in the game. Right now NA has some serious structural issues that need to be resolved even more than a tutorial or marginal % refits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(rolls his eyes) Great way to keep casual and solo players active in this game, give them a strict disadvantage in any combat situation with their non-refitted trade and war ships. I have been doing trade runs and building ships, outfitting entire clans running solo trade runs for hundreds and hundreds of hours. What these refits do is make it so I stand no chance of ever escaping from a squad of players with these refitted bonuses. I am at a strict disadvantage. Your argument holds no weight when put into practice.

Joke was on him the whole time, he never stood a chance, hes using a ship with no refits! HA! Out of interest, why do you think that you SHOULD be able to escape, as a solo cargo ship player, vs a SQUADRON of specially equipped cargo hunting warships operating in unison?
