Kejsaren Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Do we really need them in the game?. If so, why?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejsaren Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 That starting ship is mostly used by highest ranked tho, should restrict it somehow i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeRoTR Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I am a Rear Admiral, why would you restrict me using a basic cutter, what is your position in Admirality ? Get real..., your are free to sink every basic cutter you come across. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejsaren Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I can assure you that I do. I would restrict the use because they give no reward, have unlimited repairs. They are meant to be a starting ship, not a ship used by Rear Admirals in for example Patrol zones because they afraid to loose a ship. Or to get you from point A to be B with no risc. Leave starting ships for starting players. At least remove unlimited repairs and the no reward feature, then sail it all you want.

I was sunk today (actually I surrendered, having no hope). I was placed in a port with no ships there. I had a basic cutter. So are you saying I should not be allowed to use it now? Again, ridiculous. You play your own game. If you're talking about going into patrol zones another story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wren Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I always enjoy reading the ideas of people who want to enhance their game by penalizing or restricting others. It always makes for a fun conversation! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's such an issue then get a few guys together and hunt him down and make his life in that area miserable until he goes away. Everyone has ships and cannons. Use them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill them. Win win. Actually this is no novelty that RA do taxi a lot in cutters transporting goodies. Get them ( might take a fore and aft ship though ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipsypo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) I do not see the point in keeping the Basic Cutter. I agree that there needs to be a ship that new players and bankrupt players can use. But I do not see why that cannot just be the standard Cutter or Lynx. Just provide players with a total discount or redeemable if they meet one of two requirements a) character age < arbitrary age b) total number reals < arbitrary number reals.

Macjimm Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Fishing, transportation .... a way back home after you are defeated. Basic cutters are not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaney Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'm okay with basic cutters. My problem is the max-rank guys that start whining in battle chat when I tag them, droning on about how dare I tag a cutter, that's bad etiquette or some other nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and then same cutters show up in numbers in patrol zone being able to take almost any ship down without riscing to loose anything. Basicly people beg over chat for someone to tag them in patrol zone because they just there to do some damage and claim reward. Patrol zones a death trap as it is. Basic cutters have no business there whatsoever. And no I personally have not been ganked by cutters in there, so this isn't about me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have been farmed to a point where you have nothing left, what then? Just stop playing? I know it was when I leveled up, but there was plenty of times I had to go back to a cutter, so I could get a bit gold to buy cannons. But in short we can't have a game mechanic where a player actually cant do anything in game, thats why we have a free ship, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
