This is what the simulation looks at: The foremast yard just isn't there to be manipulated. Just like the the other little ones. How should we balance the prince if we could boost turning, downwind speed, sailbraking, gunnery course neutralize (yard depower), tacking and reverse sailing and steering? My first impulse in a tack was use manual yards to help, I kinda want it too, but we need to be careful what we wish for. What about all the other ships from Privateer to Niagara if the full Prince was unleashed? Be gentle, pls... Interesting that the game mechanics treat her as a schooner and the model is of a hermaphrodite brig or brigantine but with both a fore course and a foresail (fore and aft). It is one or the other really. Some sources also list her rig as a schooner and the rig could easily be modified one way or the other. Also interesting that she was noted to be a fast sailor and shouldn't be as slow as a Privateer or Lynx downwind. BTW she was captured in a gale when the wind overpowered her rig (springing her masts) and she was run down by British frigates. She was armed with 6 long guns and 12 12 carros at that time. Wouldn't Merc and Niagara throw a much heavier broadside though? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I see why you turned the back gun port into a window, because the replica does so that they have more sleeping berths or something, makes great sense.

There might be better choices (e.g. a feminine figurehead). I thought they were going to allow the figure head that you buy to show up when I saw that. But no, or at least not yet.

Sorry, Gentlemen, but you are wrong. The real Hermione carried 2 x 13 on her gundeck, not 2 x 14. The last gunport has to be free of gun. (Source : Boudriot, The History of the French Frigate, p. 156.) This time, fortunately, Gamelabs didn't put a gun through every available hole...

Not sure if this is a bug or if its intended to be leftover rigging from the downed mast. Either way, it looks weird. See pic: what is your video card?

jodgi Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) There's been a little talk about it lately, so I wanted to check the stern gun arc of the bots. I took the first I found: Trader Brig. I'll check my live TBrig later, but I doubt we can swivel our chasers that far out. edit: live Tbrig check. aimpoint: That's nowhere near as wide as the bots' arc.

[HRE] Lanfire Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) @admin @Ink Please, if you call a Server: Testserver, make it possible, that ALL Items, Upgrades and Ships are available for Testing ! Like in Eve-OnlineTestserver: Almost everything is buyable for a small fee. Make maybee every Item/Ship/Upgrade cost 100 gold, resources 10 gold or so. So, we can really test it and dont must wast time in senseless grinding/farming/trading ! Edited August 21, 2017 by [HRE] Lanfire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would grind here as intensively as on main server. And we had already graphical issues ... so this proposal of lanfire is very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said i'd agree with you but these guys are the developers and they will have a reason for not providing everything on test server, otherwise they would do it.... makes sense??

Prater Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Here is my video on smoke in Live and Test. Test isn't as smooth as Live. There are wisps of smoke that fly at weird angles and don't blend with the main body of smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just isn't Test though, Yesterday I was side by side with a trader brig on Live to shoot the smoke video and a Trader Brig fired almost 90 degrees (70-90 degrees probably) from his stern guns. I was expecting him to shoot with his broadside but he didn't, instead he shot with one stern cannon. The thing actually hit me. I need to go back and see if I got video, but by that point I think I was done filming smoke and I think I had turned it off to save on hdd space.

William Death Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 8 hours ago, admin said: what is your video card? @admin and @Capn Rocko, I've seen the same visual bug with lines from a dismasted ship leading into the water. I've seen it on the testbed (I believe I sent an F11 there) and I've seen it on PvP Global. In this screenshot from a few weeks ago on PvP Global, you can see a line to the right of Koltes' ship, leading from the missing mast section into the water. My graphics card and other rig information is included below the first screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfolk nChance Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Testbed Unity 5 Update @admin and @Ink ALTs and Sandboxie Hong Kong normal Ping is 260. On TestBed stand alone in OW or BATTLE instance 195. At FULL SCREEN it drops again to 185. See previous note on performance tests rig etc. Using my ALT tested both in OW. The Ping Rate is 189 (MPC) and 185 (ALT). In BATTLE Instance, again the same. Very stable on both however ppl numbers low. This with both working at the same time. If this was normal I would normally lower both Graphics in game to medium. This wasn’t necessary at all. Both on AAx2 as well. Liked the Grape shot graphics as well Norfolk.
