Mouth of Sauron Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Flotsam and Jetsam book (or perk, could be either or). Equipping creates a chance to find "flotsam" debris on the water while Fishing is on. Debris being seasoned woods, tools, barrels of trade goods/upgrade resources or whatever. Maybe a couple swedish carpenters from a shipwreck floating around on a couple planks. Wink wink. The woods/masts/planks you find would be seasoned wood from some unknown wreckage floating around the ocean. Increased chance to find flotsam (debris) Increased crew amount on sailing (lookouts for debris) Lowers speed by whatever contest winner right here edit - A good name would be the "Voodoo Shipping Company Wreckage Finder" just an FYI Edited December 3, 2019 by Mouth of Sauron 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sella Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 How about new flags that actually provide buffs kinda like in WoWs? They could vary from signal flags to small ensigns that could replace all or just the signal flag on the furthest back mast. That way you get visualisation of the upgrades plus eye candy Is that to hard to code? Example: Ionian Crew Detachment Slight morale and Defence buff or etc. Requires: Indigo, Linen (resources that actually used for the colours of the flag) and food So the flag gets replaced by this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z4ys Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) ROVER's treatise of proper raiding 10x madagascar jewels 5x captured "cargo" 5x captured "passenger" 2x Sealed bottle Increases doubloon gain by 0.1 (So if you would loot 100 dbs by RND you actual get 110dbs - doesnt apply to sinking/assist reward) Unfortunately that requires that captured passenger and cargo need to be flagged as "captured". When I remember correctly Game labs was considering that. Because currently most of those missions are dumped. Its unpractical to keep them.

Conte D. Catellani Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The phasmid strategy of Jack Aubrey made by Academy Effects: Your crew is made up of the best men of the nations present in the Caribbean: The best sails the best gunners and good carpenters. thanks to them you can pass undisturbed in enemy waters becoming a phasmid Every enemy player that click on your ship to see who you are, see you like a friendly player unless he is in your tag circle. In the tag circle he can see your true faction and: the tag time of your ship is 3 second ( kill the traitors! kill the spy! Now!)

Cetric de Cornusiac Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Incendiary grenades made by workshop Effects: Not a canon amunition type, but equipment for boarding. and melee. Your crew uses grenades which have a good chance to ignite fire on the enemy ship (besides inflicting casualties) or increase an already existing fire during boarding. It is very important for your own survival that you disengage fast in case fire starts spreading, so combination with boarding axes is advised for speedy retreat, lest it results in an explosion and you are still on the ship or close.

Conte D. Catellani Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Achab made by workshop Effects: your ship become a fishboat able to hunt whales you are able to fish 4 time more faster than normally using nets and once at day at sea, you are able to capture a whale. example if you capture at 9.30 west indie time a whale you have to wait 24 hours west indie time, the clock in the fleet menu. You can convert the whale into Ambergris, provision and whale oil, but you can use this option once at day at sea, see the whale capture time. The result of the convertion is 75% provision, 20% oil and 5% Ambergris. During the conversion of the whale, the ship must be at 0 knot. Maybe a timer on the left top corner of the screen with a fish to see how much we have wait till the next conversion. If the player during the 20 minutes of the countdown is attacked and start to run, the countdown stop and will start from the beginning. Since our ship are not made to be used like that we have malus: the cargo space is halved to have room to work the whales all the battle perk have no effect since the cannons are all moved on sides to have space reload time and aiming are all more slow +10% since there is infamable oil and tools, the ship is very flammable and is more hard to control fire for the crew so Blueprint needs: 1x Sea Book 1000x Hemp ( to make nets) 1000x Iron ore ( for the harpoons) 1000x Coal ( for the harpoons) 1000x white oak ( for harpoon and to build shallops) 1x Textile machinery ( for nets) 2000 Doubloons ( fish licence permit) This upgrade need the Whale Oil like resource , different whales to add at the fishes list and a counter to see how is available again the conversion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macjimm Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 This is a really cool thread. Reminds me of early days when players were contributing interesting ideas for game development. I know a bunch of us are waiting for salt to be added back into crafting. (extra points for integrating fishing into upgrade crafting) Hoping that this could be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Morgan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 No doubt mentioned many times before. Food Provisions required daily at sea. Food trade goods including fish are expanded and can be turned into food provisions if you build/own a provisions warehouse Biscuits Beer Wine Brandy Rum Beef Flour Currants Mutton Salted Pork Butter Cheese Olive Oil Lack of Provisions crew lose morale each day at sea effect: Sail slower, guns reload slower, boarding morale reduced etc. If severe morale risk mutiny and loss of ship it becomes NPC.
