Tyrelli Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Guessing when the games all live Alpha players will get a $20 ship bump in there respective Faction / Job / Career.

StandingCow Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I thought it was the yacht? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I thought it was the yacht? First round on target, fire the broadside. The $20 value ship is the Yacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrelli Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ah .. for some reason I thought we got the Yacht AND a $20 ship .. silly me .. best close this thread then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saliddry Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 is the yacht.....the tiny 8 gun ship 4 per side i have seen in some videos??? if yes..... it would be like paying for an premium tier 1 tank in WOT you never use again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrezesOi Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 is the yacht.....the tiny 8 gun ship 4 per side i have seen in some videos??? if yes..... it would be like paying for an premium tier 1 tank in WOT you never use again I'm not sure how it will be in full game, but for now, after months of testing (playing) I'm using that 8 gunner often than both first rate ships (Santi & Vic) together. Because it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I believe it's a 12 gun, six per side. This isn't World of Tanks. Having a nimble, fast vessel with a shallow draft may be quite useful in the Open World once the game is released. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandanator2 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Do not be so quick to underestimate those small ships! The early Yacht, Lynx, Cutter are all amazingly maneuverable ships. They can even make their voices heard in a large PVP battle with Trincomalees or Constitutions. Here's my bit of advice to you. Load chain shot and skirt around the big battle. From there, fire off that chain shot into the sails of those big boy ships. Before they know it they've lost 5 knots of speed, and you've greatly helped the team. So no, I would not compare this to a tier 1 premium in WoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwhazzoo Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As mentioned above the yatch its a particularly useful ship. Its fast, very manuverable, and has 6 cannons which gives it better strenght than the Lynx. Little ships are not to be ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielCoffey Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 How does the yacht compare to the cutter in terms of speed and armour? They both carry the same number of guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the smallest ship can win against the biggest ship if done correctly, something which is absolutley unheard of in WOT. There is a heavy skill based balance in NA, which is not present in WOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Premium does not necessarily equal P2W. If the purchased ship is comparable, or slightly inferior to an equivalent earned ship, it's not necessarily P2W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueMyChin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hope they do more Premium Ships so we can give more funds for development! I would be happy for this so long as the ships were no larger than a small frigate and they were permanently lost when sunk of captured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kngsbrg Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Premium does not necessarily equal P2W. If the purchased ship is comparable, or slightly inferior to an equivalent earned ship, it's not necessarily P2W. The idea is solid on paper, but very hard to accomplish. To stay true to your statement, they would have to re-release already existing ships or tune them down. It is very tempting to just put out unique Flavor of the Month-Premium-Ships every odd month at the height of the product life cycle. Some dev mentioned they wanted to focus on a system similar to the one Riot Games uses in League of Legends, using cosmetic and convenience items like additional skins or currency/experience boosts. I like that system, since a stock game player can enjoy the same gameplay as the wallet warrior. If you really want to make your ship look xyz or level faster, you can do that, but it should not effect my gameplay experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like animals, you have to be useful to humans or you pretty much go extinct. It's actually a fantastic little ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bis18marck70 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hope they do more Premium Ships so we can give more funds for development! Really? So instead of focusing on making ships everyone can use (now in Sea Trials) and later be readily available in the open world, you want these devs to restrict access to ships (that need to be tested) to a few people that have the cash for it? Where is that going to end? Games like Star Citizen are by no means a role model, on the contrary. Paying hundreds of dollars for ships that barely exist in concept art and have yet to be made available is anti-consumer to the extreme. Also, this is not a free to play game that requires premium content to survive or needs to use the money grabbing tactics of said titles. Some of these games have premium content bordering on P2W. A big 'premium' ship in this game, imagine the damage it could do. The developers get a good income from the standard $40 package, a price they will increase as new content is made available (for everyone). The 'low' price right now and the Yacht itself are a thank you for early support. That's all that is needed. Later on, cosmetic items might be available for a few bucks and hell, maybe they add a premium ship - I hope not - but the package we bought is the game. Edit: Oh, and the Yacht is fantastic. If anyone wants to see it in action, here is a shameless plug: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 A quick note: if you want to go ALL the way to 1st rate ships you need to rank up in the Yatch... The Santisima, you need 1000 point to get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweatyPenguin Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The ship you recieved as a gift for buying early is the Yacht, a fast little thing to play with. I reckon in the open world it will be a good ship to travel with. But most importantly you bought the complete game, you will have access to the full content and will not be required to pay ever again. The notion of having premium vehicles is just silly and I do not aggree with it in any game I have encountered it in. You have bought this game and everything in it for all the years to come, simple, effective, customer friendly... No need for any premium bollocks. The headstart you will have when the game launches will be all the experience you have acquired while participating in the sea trials and other tests, we will already know all the ins and outs of the game, what type of ship and gameplay we want to aim for and how to make the most of it. That will be our headstart. Giving us any other advantage such as a ship or extra resources would be stupid and unfair. It smells with pay2win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
