Tomasso il Fortunato Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) How you know , in the past the sailing ships could set "Studding sail" for escape from the enemy or the get faster . Now I was thinking : why not to implement this feature into Naval Action . The Studding sail can be as a perk or a rare book . Possibility to set them in the battle time . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studding_sail Already suggested in the past . Discuss.

William Death Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 We have them already. You don't see them graphically though. Check out skillbooks: Studdingsails, Treatise on Square Sails Trim; and upgrades: Spanish Rig Refit, Elite Spanish Rig Refit. They increase square sail force, making you faster downwind, while decreasing staysail force, making you slower upwind. I wish there was an option to turn them on/off in battle, maybe with a few minutes timer before setting them again after you furl them.... They do not affect OW speed, only instance speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love if there was some kind of "Studding Sails" option after full sails, which could take a few minutes to setup. We also need the amount of crew needed for sailing is increased/decreased whether you're going 100% 80% 60% 40% etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim McSauce Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Studded sails weren't used 100% if the time, they were a go to tactic not like a permenent upgrade or book, you use it like an ability which is what we're missing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it but I don't know what's worse, OW speed buffs to where you get tagged but escape battle repeatedly, or a bellona going 15knts beam reach and down.
