It's not actually that hard for a good group, but it is exclusive....because only a cohesive group can do it and that is not representative of the whole game population.

I am doing it alone, imagine that. I won't risk my best ships, mostly captured ones, but I do it and brought home booty. Just one or two chests per battle, but it sums up... Given seasoned woods would lose their "rarity attraction"; I would probably also miss the thrill of those suicidal attempts to snatch chests from Privateer Fleets.

pappy3122 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 can the connie and USS be made 4th rates again like they should be? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie and USS would need a major nerf if that was to happen. They just recently buffed the speed which was needed as well as the dual deck 42 carros now. Dropping it to 4th rate again would require a nerf to both it's hp and well as thickness since these are much higher than the 4th rates. Connie as it stands now has same thickness and slightly more hp than 3rd Rate and USS has more hp than Wasa and same thickness. Both are also faster than every 4th and 3rd rate other than the Leopard. So sure, drop Connie and USS back to 4th rate, but to do that would require quite a big nerf. Personally I think it is well suited where it is with the recent buffs it's received. Edited February 10, 2020 by Redman29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one uses them really as tbrigs have the same hold but the added benefit of being able to go through shallows. The LGV needs some help and I think this would be good, but LGVR had less cargo space cause of the extra crew and cannons and such. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, it is almost impossible to use a MB to kill the square forts due to the limited range.

Correct. LGV 3k hold is very reasonable: giving a sense to use LGVs. LGVR at 1.2k (if I remember correctly) is fine: she's refitted trader for raiding/blockade running - thus with more room devoted to crew and guns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still superfrigates suited to hunt... frigates, not SOLs. An Inger usually smashes a Connie not retreating (upwind) with limited effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genevieve Malfleurs Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Good job and many thanks! I still think dynamic ship br, influenced by built & upgrades, would do the game very good 😉. A lot of work to figure it out properly. But very important for balance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hold on a bit You don't know how long will take. In the meantime, this is a positive change which won't hurt anyone. Aren't we all for a more friendly game? The recent pop increase is also a consequence of some positive changes on demand by the community. No one wanted the removal of XP when you craft repairs or cannons. This is a small tweak of something that was in the game before, no one is asking for anything else. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gros Ventre Refit - has been added to the admiralty at 50 combat marks per note (price is not final) Labor hour contracts in the admiralty now have the following options 2x contracts at 5000 Doubloons 1x contract at 25 Victory Marks Coming soon Craftable 3rd rates and some second rates stats will be rebalanced Battle ratings will be adjusted for third rates and other ships to bring more diversity to action Rare ship permits will be made more widely available Skins for imported 3rd rates and implacable will receive naming Mortar brig damage will be rebalanced (bigger damage, slower aiming, lower reload) The main goal of seasoned wood changes hotfix/patch is to address this issue raised by players. Third rates were the most numerous class in all navies and Temeraire was a most numerous third rate - but we want ALL third rates to be as popular as they were in 18th century, not only redoutable. So seasoned Woods supply is no imporoved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
