Bristol Fashion Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) 45 minutes ago, Banished Privateer said: so if I pay 15-30 PvP marks for a ship note (worth 6-12m gold) I get a casual ship, but crafters making a ship worth probably 200-500k gold in mats get better quality ships. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. When you get a PvP note ship you are instantly able to craft a ship of whatever materials, no matter how rare or exotic of your choice. The crafters that spend so much time and energy on figuring out how to get these rare and sought after build materials ought to have a benefit.

Elric Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The defender should have the advantage. If the attackers don't have enough ships to fight through the enemy ships, then the port shouldn't change hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they took away defensive joining to pissed us off then when they gave it back we were grateful and didn't mind the attacking screening still being in affect. I hope this was the plan otherwise the Devs are waaay out of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachi Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think it would be better if there were some mali to outweigh the buff percentages. E.g. +5% speed with - 5% turnrate, 3% speed and 3% turnrate with one or two upgrade slots less, etc. But with this kind of system the crafter should have the choice whether he wants to craft a 'vanilla' ship or a modded one.

Navalus Magnus Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) @admin I appreciate your preference to "Dark Souls"! But i also think that it is no good idea to bring back luck into crafting. I think there are other ways to make crafting more valuable: E.g. get rid of all the permanent upgrades and enable crafters to learn to craft the features into ships, which right now are still available through perm. upgrades. If you'd make these bonuses depending not only on crafting skill, but also on rare ressources - like cartagena tar (just without the permanent upgrade) - you 'd have these ressources as RvR incentives plus you'd make trading more valuable, i think! An answer of yours would be most welcome! Edited February 1, 2018 by Navalus Magnus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small nations should at least be able to defend. Also attacker has an advantage because he can choose when the PB happens and so he can put the PB to the best time and has a lot of players online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see some balance to speed / thickness / turn rate to ALL rates, still bugs me seeing stuff like Santi being 2.15 turn rate. And the Constitution @2.33?

Imagine i would compete with you throwing ships on the market using hundreds of labour contracts. Do you think you would be able to make reasonable profit with ships? Exactly this is happening, just that youre competing with all this organised crafting by request thing. Much more supply than demand. Selfsupply in the first place. Ships are not more than gold + labour. Gold worthless + labour worthless = ships worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with the time/money earned ratio of hauling mats, getting the marks and keeping LH stocked. Don't even get me started on trying to sell on the open market. There's just no value to a crafted ship these days. Most PVPers are already set with captured/note ships. It's gotta be easier, or there has to be more returns from crafting.

Parting from the norm a little, but I prefer to give things away or just sell them at large discounts. Ships too, crafted. Unfortunately I know that is negative to the crafting market, but that's one of my joys in the game. I don't do it for personal profit of my character.

SKurj Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Now my concern is if a player asks me to build them a first rate, and i give them a price, what if they don't get what they want and walk away from the deal because I got bad rng...
