Sea Fox Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Love this ship! Questions to @admin Will there ever be other refits? Indiaman refit? Or maybe Tsnow refit? Why isn't it craftable? Suggestions.... Better profile upwind (take awy some speed downwind to Ballance Make it craftable OR give it at least one more slot Carronades please? This is the ship for me....I'll probably never said anything else (if so it will be rare. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Quite a few including myself have wanted it for a long time. I think it would be pretty op op if it was like the lgv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latron Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I also got an lgv refit recently and I like it a lot. I likely won't be able to use it much in pvp even though I'd like to try it. I can't get pvp marks very easily. If it cost combat marks then that would be way better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) It's a great ship. I can't wait until UI and economy where it will be viable to be a roaming trader hauling and selling repairs on the front lines, or just being a general scum bag scamming newbs with your "exquisite" wares near capital. LGV is a somewhat of a different ship than we're use to getting which makes it interesting and fun to play. the fact that it's at a disadvantage in combat doesn't bother me so much, though it could absolutely use a slightly better cannon setup with an option of carros Edited September 10, 2018 by Slim McSauce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Texas Sir Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It really should have an option to buy the BP. I like using it for trade hunting in far away waters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Smith Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I would like to get craftable, upgraded and refit ships like purple and gold Indiaman and Bellonas. Edited September 18, 2018 by Buba Smith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim McSauce Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 and give it the full 5 knowledge slots like all combat ships have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus MacDuff Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Love it. I was on my way to loot a wreck the other day in my Refit and came across an Indiaman. Never used it against a player before but what the hell. Had a really fun fight (for me, I guess). I got his sails down then took out his stern, but couldn't figure out what to do next. He out-crewed me and he out-gunned me (damn all traders who arm their ships! Don't you know you're pacifists??). Decided to try broadsides cause LGVs that I've seen in the past bounce shots pretty good. Got in close for my first broadside (I'm stupid fast) and OMG! His crew started melting, even before his armour was down. Those swivel guns. Well then it was just a case of hugging close and watching his crew disappear with each shot till I finally could board. He did some damage to my fir/fir, but my DPS was faster. I haven't encountered a 5th rate that I couldn't run away from yet, and it can go into enemy ports as a trader. Now....with some boarding mods..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cetric de Cornusiac Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Too bad the cargo hold is almost halved in comparison to a non-refit Le Gros Ventre. And those swivels of 2 lb are a bit weak when everyone has 6 pd upwards. But still, a great ship I use as leader for a group of Gros Ventres. With the dark red accents on the hull also quite pretty to look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a teak/teak one but was not fast enough. I decided to jump into a battle (herc vs basic cutter). Wasn't concerned about the ship (I was going to sell it) It took him an hour to kill me and if I had more than one fleet ship he'd be dead instead of me. But I learned a lot in the battle. Cannon balls bounce off quite a bit (even the fir/fir hold up decently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shooting close broadsides into the guy and killing 12-18 crew per shot, while he still had armour. Plus they reload very fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took out a fleet of 3 indiamen (with help of my fleet) in open waters it was a two attacks. But yeah it's awesome. For me in a solo hunt I can go deep into enemy territory and hunt (and hide) and the ocean is my oyster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn Rocko Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Fun ship. I paid 150 pvp marks twice for LGVR and it was worth it back then. Not so much now, but I still sail one occasionally. I wish it could be 5/5 and leave everything else the same. The only saving grace is that the ship can dock up in enemy ports 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
