Do people not understand what the term Rare means? It means its a low chance on getting it and its all RNG. Strange there are so many complaints on Rare items that do not drop as often when in for example World of Warcraft you run through a specific dungeon houndreds of times for just one Rare item without complaining

• Capturable ports now give better chance to build a exceptional vessel.

 

made some new ships in a capturable harbor but it is disappointing what i got only bleu 3/5 and no 4/5 or 5/5

so no chance at all? or ?? what are the chances ??

Thats the thing with RNG, even with increased chance its still random. For example if you removed another number and put a second 6 on a dice you would have a 2 in 6 chance of rolling a 6 and that is a large increase percentage wise, but you could still roll any other number other than 6 for quite a few throws.

Since the patch I crafted 5 ships, 1 x Pirate Frigate which was 3/5, 4 x Bellona where I got 2 at 4/5 with one having additional heavy rig and 2 at 3/5 with nothing extra. So from my small sample it is a large increase but it is still down to luck.

[Hethwill]

Yep. It is a chance of. Meaning "grab the dice and roll good".

From your sample, as small as it is, we can see a good indication of it. Maybe the next days we see a lot of clans moving their stuff to their holdings and clans that do not hold ports going on a Conquest drive to establish their new shipyards.

Rare should be rare. Captains, please sail 3/5 ships with the perks, books, and mods you possess and don't worry about it.

It's when these rare things become too common that they become OP.

Also, generally speaking in battle, after the first broadside, it would be up to each gunner to "fire as you come to bear". Effectively, once in a melee, its something more akin to a continuous random fire. In battle, full broadsides would be for specific occasions, for instance stern raking.

This really depends on the situation. There was a chain of command and individual gun captains would only "fire as you bear" if that order was given by the Captain. In the RN and USN you also had lieutenants in charge of a division of guns. If the ships were maneuvering you'd have more controlled broadsides. If the ships were broadside to broadside you'd more likely have guns firing independently.

I like how you can transfer goods to and from your fleet ships in open world now

Crafted another 2 Bellonas today one was 3/5 with Cramped and the other was 4/5 with nothing extra, so at the moment maintaining my 50% hit rate for 4/5. Will probably go the next few days just getting 3/5's.

Thing is they will become common as people will keep crafting till they get the better ones because the economy is broken that mats, money and labor hours are plentiful. The other side of it is that there should be plenty cheap 3/5's for sale.

then go play a single player campaign game then where nothing is rng and you have to do exact things to gains access to items/abilities.

Which is great because those who don't want the 3/5s and only the better ones sell these 3/5s and then I get some cheaper ships.

The Captain would indicate his intentions and his officers would relay the relevant commands.

remove stabilized cannons. If your ship rolls midbroadside cannonballs should go where the ship heels to and not like now

No!!!! This is not historically correct. A broadside would not be a rolling broadside or random fire as in game. The guns would fire simultaneously for exactly the reason of avoiding the roll. The opposite of what you are requesting. Rather give me a simultaneous fire broadside.

Read all the relevant posts and you may understand the conversation. I'm not going to post them all here. Please do try and keep up!!!

You may have misunderstood my post.  It was an expression of preference NOT sarcasm.

I would enjoy the game much more if I could issue commands and my crew would respond, leaving me free to walk the deck and watch the action from the first person view.  

The "sigh" at the end was a sad acknowledgement that my preference will never be realized ... At least not in NA.

Sorry if I did not communicate well.  Tone can be easily misinterpreted in text.

P.S.  I did not think that you had suggested adding this to the game.  It is I who was musing over the addition.

Sorry, but what is meant by "imported ships". Is this basically referring to the DLC ships?

"Imported" = other name for "premium" so yes imported is referring to dlc ships

Yep, admin prefers the word "imported" - hence the "strike-through" every time he talks about Premium imported ships. It seems a bit odd but I'm sure there's a good reasoning behind not calling them premium ships despite them being a paid-for DLC that grants players premium content at the cost of real-world money.  And the fact that these ships are refered to as Premium ships on the steam store page. 

Steam store page description:

Quote

Hercules Frigate is a premium consumable ship.

First flagship of Argentina’s Navy has a very rich history. 
She was built in Russia as light ship Legkii (Lightweight), surrendered.........

@admin

Let's imagine that my maximum speed is 13 knots at 135 degrees or -2.5 knots against the wind.

What maximum speed will used in this function?

===

Допустим моя макс. скорость 13 узлов при курсе 135 градусов и -2.5 узла против ветра.

Какая максимальная скорость будет использоваться в этой функции, т.е. при какой скорости я быстрей утону?
