Jeremiah O'Brien Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 A very strange thing happened to me today. Due to the low number of players, I decided to do some PVE for a change. I was in a Snow (I think, it may have been the NavyBrig), and I got matched up against a NavyBrig and a Brig. The battle began and both ships headed towards me. Equipped with 6pd longs, I tried some ranging shots, but they fell short. As the enemy closed in, they turned and began firing. I was moving forward and their shots fell behind me. I fired a few more shots, which missed, and then I attempted to maneuver. I discovered that my rudder was stuck halfway between center and port, and I had no sail control. I began skewing to the left, not turning. I was gliding through the water on a diagonal path. I tried to use f11, but the battle abruptly ended as a draw. It only lasted a few minutes, and neither side took any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when a round ends on a storm map and for those few seconds your ship just slides through the waves awkwardly as the victory screen thing pops up. That's my guess.

Jeremiah O'Brien Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 That could be it. But the sliding motion was very strange, I was skewing though the waves on a diagonal course. Not like what I've experienced before, like the example you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Likely network packet loss or the server stopped responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah O'Brien Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, it must have been something of that nature. It would explain the frozen rudder, no sail control, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 If it happens again, please mash F11 and fill in the form. If it's a connectivity issue, it might not matter, but if the report gets through it will help tons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah O'Brien Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Will do. I tried to report it, but the round ended before I got a chance to fill out the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
