Adding the ability to determine a capped AI's build and make the decision to keep or sink in an informed way will become even more important in the future as our ships, funds, and XP (maybe?) become more rare.

Why not...knowledge is not a physical thing. Another issue is if you die on your primary ship and have ships in fleet. When you spawn outside the battle on your fleet ship, your knowledge slots are empty. Edited March 22, 2019 by Angus MacDuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrez Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) My Feedback, first some points i don't like: Ship Permit's RNG locked is a bad idea making game unfun Rare Woods only buy able with doubloons, 10k doubloons for only 1000 wood logs way to few! AI ships still way to strong But these changes i like: UI Awesome!!! Fire spread dangerous but fun! good balanced after hotfix DLC's i like them all, now i can get paint on my ships Crafting changes so i don't need to craft materials makes easier to craft and better overview.

Aerospace Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Please let selected ship knowledge to stay on ships if sent to fleet. When in fleet knowledges are inhibited. When sent to docks or selected as main ships, preselected knowledges show up again. Please let us see knowledge slots during sailing. Would be nice to add information to ships at docks. So if I have 2 Bellonas, I can understand which one pvp/pve/boarding etc. just looking at the list. *** 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to have it changed at sea, going into port is fine, cause folks will other wise switch fast from a combat brawling to a boarding ship at sea depending who they ware fighting.

Same here, agree with these two points. Yesterday I wanted to craft a 5th rate for the shallow patrol and since I got a paint for Reno (and I love the Reno) I thought let's go with that one... Nope. FU Zlat. You need a permit. Asked in global and nobody had one. Then I thought okay I have a paint scheme for the Niagara aswell, let's go with her. Nope! FU Zlat! Finally someone accepted to sell me a Reno... But still, I was not able to craft it myself. I just lost 1h to get this ship. The only thing that comes to my mind when I think of those permits is : BOOOOOORRIIIIIIIING! Second point, I don't know if you adjusted something to NPCs or if it was just bad timing/luck but patrol areas this week felt way too empty (PvE). I gave up on Thursday's patrol after 1h30 of circling around and finding nothing, and yesterday it took me 2 or maybe 3 hours to painfully achieve 70k damage. You should really do something about that. Edited March 23, 2019 by Zlatkowar 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really do something about that. Yes to both. Why do we even find permits in loot we could just as well buy ? I'm stuck with a s**load of permits for ships nobody wants/sails anyway but can't find the ones I (the market) need. C'mon, this is basically a capitalist game : we have a free market on PvE server. Any attempts to control supply /demand to make certain ships or woods near unavailable is fail. Making them hard to get: fine, making them near unavailable (eg by putting wo in a french town where none else but the french can place contracts) or selling them at moon prices in admiralty is against the design of a trade market per se. It just doesn't work that way ! The euro traders, smugglers...anything like that would be more than happy to deliver rare stuff (from outside the Caribbean, if the price is right. If you ever visit Cuba, you learn this: Historically all foreign goods sold in Cuba had to come from Spain (come form admiralty in NA) and be imported via Havanna (come from 1 town only in NA) , which made them rare and some near unavailable in places far away from Havanna. Result: Pirates, Smugglers eg were more than willing to supply and the authorities didnt notice anything...as long as they got their share..err bribe.

Thonys Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 it feels s like when having all the boarding upgrades and books and fit of a boarding vessel the determined defender is a big denial of all those books and upgrades it isn't right, specially if you have to fight a full-grown captain sailing in a 4 rate and up it feels wrong ... for me, it is a decision maker to stop and go to the next adventure what is unfortunate not this game,...see you all later (perhaps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebool Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 He thought that no ship of 5th or smaller should need permission, since you can capture it without problems, I do not understand the need to obtain permits unless you want to put some ship as a rare object, which does not seem appropriate, the level difficulty of obtaining permits should go in relation to the level of the boat, it is more logical that you have trouble finding a permit for a first that not for a 5th from my modest point of view that would be fairer and would give a point of interest to the game. On the other hand the difficulty in finding one or the other permits should be relative to the good that is a ship or another, a wasap or a consti should be easily found in admiration while finding a bellona should be more complicated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para mí, es un tomador de decisiones parar e ir a la próxima aventura, lo que es desafortunado, no en este juego ... nos vemos luego (quizás). Honestly I do not understand the problem, it's as simple as lowering the crew a bit before boarding, just as you have to slow down or any other setback that you have to overcome. Worst I seemed to see 5 frigates assaulting a line ship and go tackling it and disengage from combat while everyone else tore it to gunfire because it simply could not defend when you assault it to disengage and that others cannon it, besides being totally unreal is a Very ugly gankeo that everyone carries out.

Eyesore Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Do permits drop (or have chance to) when you break up a ship? Perhaps ai-captured ships could do that (up to 5th rates)? and thus make it possible to sort-off upgrade them? (break down, get permit from that, sell it or rebuild with other trims) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Farseer Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) There is problem with the Port UI and map regarding patrol zones: As the screenshots below show, it is not mentioned that La Mona is still a frigate only patrol zone. Only a BR limit of 3k is shown. Rate limit is only metnioned for solo PvP zone. The map also does not show that max rate for La Mona is still 4th. So when a friend tagged a Pavel in his Aggy, my Wasa and our friends 3rd rate were not pulled into battle and could not enter afterwards. The info on ship rate limit needs to be shown somewhere!

General patrol zone. As long as a on of the 3rd rates tagged, the RoE worked and all got dragged insinde. The battle then was just a normal OW battle, no Patrol mode. Patrol battles could not be joined by us. Which is fine, given that La Mona is 4th rate max. We just need to be told that beforehand by the UI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
