Thonys Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) hi captains and defs since some ships are so op by a number of repairs in the hold (and for combat capability) i would suggest having repairs restricted to max 15 % /20% of the hold (therefore also separating cargo /and ships maintenance room) your thoughts Edited July 6, 2017 by Thonys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem are only repairs in PB's, especially 4th rates. well,..... unlimited hunting ....has to stop somewhere (real live pirates hardly had repairs on board they were glad they could sail with a torn ragged sail) [even heard a story where a pirate, put a wooden plank on his holes in the sail to tighten the sail ] Edited July 6, 2017 by Thonys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonar Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Repair- Kits have weight so in OW you need to ask yourself if you can effort the speedloss of more kits or do you take less and are faster ... in PB no idea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but t will prevent some kind of a cheat) Edited July 6, 2017 by Thonys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lancelot Holland Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Emergency repairs often consisted of securing canvass over holes below the waterline to restrict water flow into the hull until more permanent repairs could be carried out with wood. While it is accepted that spare spars, even short lengths of mast were carried there were only sufficient amounts to jury rig a mast and even then they could rarely be utilised in combat. It is fair to say that damage control as it is known today was in its infancy, that every effort was made to save ships damaged in combat, but then as now repairs in combat are extremely difficult to effect and that increasing damage from further combat will very well sink the ship you are trying to save. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrifice speed for repairs. And if I see someone moving slow because they are loaded with repairs, I will damage the sails from a distance, and force them to repair them, then damage the hull while they repairing sails. As soon as they are done repairing the sails, I go back to sails, so the next time they have to make the hard call. Fix the sails, or risk getting sunk.

RaimundoJoe Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 The one sail and one hull repair was perfect. The only needed feature was the crew repair insted we get this multitude of repairs that only helps group hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachy Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 A lot of gankers don't carry repairs at all. I carry 2 to 3 sets for hull and 3-4 for sails. This has allowed me to win a 5 vs 1 (over the course of 7 tags, sank all of em). And I sank an endy and 2 snows in another 5 vs 1 that I lost eventually. Both of these I was sailing a regular frigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have weight associated with them so you take considerable risk carrying too many. I think the mechanics we have now are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you may be able to make any ship a 15nt speed ship but only specifically designed speed ships can carry extra repairs while remaining above the, 15nt cap. Its a significant advatange and its why a renomee isnt completely defunct in this meta. Im all for increasing the weight of repairs or the amount consumed in a repair.
