Aubrey's capture of the Spanish Cacafuego Xebec-Frigate. The Cacafuego was taller than Aubrey's ship who got very close to her, which made the Cacafuego unable to lower her guns low enough to fire at Aubrey's ship! Awesome tactics there.

_Alucard_ Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) @admin Do we have to upload the video to youtube or can I upload the file to Mega? Is Vimeo ok? I don't have a youtube account. Is the Santa Cecilia for the 3 first videos in this post or the 3 fastest doing the mission? Edited June 12, 2017 by _Alucard_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, would be nice to try but I'm not going to learn recording specially for that competition You read it too quickly (and it hasn't been edited since then, so nothing has changed as far as the terms). You have until next Monday the 19th to post a video, and the top 3 entries will be ranked by how quickly they can sink/capture the LGV. It has nothing to do with how quickly you post the video. I used Nvidia Shadowplay to capture the video, then Lightworks (free software) to lightly edit and compress to H.264 format for upload to Youtube. It was all very easy to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyShelby Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Another question for @admin. 4pd basic cannons only or are we allowed to use whatever cannons we want? I ask because it is not specified so I've been using 6pd longs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Seayew Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Serious bragging rights for the 4pdrs and LGV with fleeter! I was so proud the day I capped one with a privateer......almost under two hours....haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes hardly any more effort or time to cap one than to grind a Cutter in a Mission, but the payoff is much better - especially the loot! I started today with very little in the bank and after a few tries (trying to get the best time I could), I'm now $150k richer. If a mediocre captain like I can do it, anyone can You inspire me, sir!

_Alucard_ Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) This is my attempt. A fellow Spaniard entered the battle, but I asked him to leave and so he did without firing into the Legross. I messed the boarding because we were talking in our TS and that almost cost me the victory Anyway, 16,33 took me, I might try it again with more powerful cannons (this attempt was with basic canons) Edited June 14, 2017 by _Alucard_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prater Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I don't have a competitive time yet, I tend to botch stopping the ship to board, but do have this rake which surprised me and caught me off guard. Max I had got earlier was between 31-38 I think. This was followed up with several lousy rakes of 0 or few kills and I botched stopping the ship for boarding once I got him down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He boards at 13:40, mutual losses occur until 15:06 at which point the LGV posts negative kills & Liquicity's crew increases. I understand your response, but the crew gains are from the other ship, not recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your response, but the crew gains are from the other ship, not recovery. Nope, crew gains are due to using the surgeon. It doesnt show up when you press 5 - 3 during boarding, but still works. Go try it yourself instead of calling cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just couldn't figure the negative kills on the other ship and didn't know you could recover during boarding combat. Thank you for the explained. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liq Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 14 minutes ago, rediii said: He is right. Can you actually press 5 and 4 while in boarding to use rum? That would be a huge mistake if that's possible. 5-4 is urgent repair, 5-3 is surgeon Dunno but I couls imagine during a boarding engagement the wounded crew would try to fall back and get a quick treatment or something, same as when you're getting shot from multiple sides and/or raked, the wounded crew would fall Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Seayew Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would think Surgeon unavailable after you hit 9 for boarding prep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Heads up everyone, under 14 minutes without even bothering to board. No carronades either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Seayew Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 2 hours ago, Hodo said: That makes no sense. It would be like saying you cant have a surgeon while your guns have men on them. And to get the negative is press 5-3 before you hit G. And it will heal your crew during the fight. It's more like saying, you can't do surgery while your men are on the guns. But I get what you're saying, I'm just thinking of more arbitrary hoops and rings for players to jump through instead of playing a game. In the end, it's this constant fiddling with numbers and sliders that will really kill the game. Spinning wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
