Tom Farseer Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) As we were hunting along the northern coast of Cuba we saw an Elite AI Surprise, so figured might as well take that note with us. Unfortunately after killing it we found that the ship note it carried weighs a whopping 500! So without throwing overboard all repairs and possibly some guns too my little Trincomalee was unable to take home it's prize. (Attached Bug report: NAB-90736) SO unless you only go to hunt Elite AI in excessively large ships (taking away what challenge they pose) or Traders (making it really hard) you have no choice but to see your reward go to the bottom of the ocean. That should probably adjusted. I am not against making them somewhat heavy altogether. But even a heavy frigate being fully overloaded is a bit too much, don't you think?

Should 1/3rd of at least half the weight of what they are now. They should be different from normal ship notes at port, or can turn into higher weight when you reach a port.

Angus MacDuff Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I've stopped tagging elites for that reason. A ship NOTE should be a thing of PAPER and weigh nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make all elite ships capturable (including line ships) and wipe your hands of this silliness. +1 But why not make ALL SHIPS CAPTURABLE? The standard ones are worth nothing anyways.

Sang Noir Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 +1 Yes, please. Make all standard ships capturable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
