Captain Comery Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What does the lock sector option do and how does it help me in battle. A video would be appreciated as I have no clue, may be the secret to perfect graping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 this is also a question regarding the game, not the developers attention. lock sector is enabling your guncrews to either aim straight forward (locked sector) 90° to the hull or (unlocked sector) aim towards the aiming recicle. The gunners will swing their guns towards the position of your mouse. Not only elevation but sideaim. You can see this with the aiming cone. It becomes narroe-er when you enable the unlocked gunnery. There are two other unlocked modes. unlocked to 250 and to 100. Which does this: The gunners aim at a fictional point in the middle of your gundeck exactly 250 or 100m away. elevation is still determined by yuor mousemovements. I think the firing modes: random, rolling front fire, rolling back fire explain themselvs. Rolling broadsides from to aft or vice versa. And the well known random shot.

maturin Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What I don't understand is what the point of using Locked Sector Auto is. And what's auto about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Latham Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) As I understand it, the range is "auto" according to where you put your sight. Locked sector means the guns don't focus on one point, but fire parallel. It disperses your fire along the enemy hull.

BungeeLemming Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 its exactly that. Its will automatically aim your guns at the repative point where you aim at. If you aim 600m orthogonal to your mid gun port (just entering gunview for the first time fror example) you will hit just around the point "drawn" by your mouse. 600m away in between all your guns.

von Beckett Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 When will the game be availible for purchase again? I've been very interested i this game and cant wait for it! Even if its a rough estimate it's still good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvenski Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 1.) There are multiple threads for that question. 2.) Apparently, according to Prater, the devs have estimated that Steam Early Access release is 1-2 months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Comery Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 That doesn't sound right to me. They still have much to add I mean fleets for example? When will we be able o create fleets again. The skirmish option is not functional yet and neither is the send to admiralty option? With all those to add I think we can make that 2 months 8 months to a year. We are talking about 5 or even six individual patches before all this comes in. That can't happen in just 2 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvenski Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Steam Early Access release =/= Final "official" release. I think Admin said Early Access will be the beta phase of the game's development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberouge Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dear sirs developers, whether you to release of game can build in a voice communication it how it was made now in tanks? When directly in fight the group is formed and can communicate. Very convenient thing, especially when not acquaintances to the aid come. Tools like voice communication would delay other features. Also, voice comm isn't planned because of potential abuses and harassment. - When or will we ever be able to use these stern and bow ports on small ships ? - Will the use of the nearby gun to fill the empty stern and bow ports be implemented in NA ? It could be a great feature : one would have to wait awhile before firing stern and bow guns (some could think that it's too easy and unrealistic right now). It isn't sure yet - maybe. My big question is how far away do you think the Pirate mechanics are? I would love to play as a pirate but at the moment its basically just a FFA nation, nothing too special about them, cant wait for chances to be sneaky Not sure about some special pirate mechanics yet. Is an ingame map coming? I'd vote for one without player location, and with the option to trace routs and mark locations... Yes some kind of a map is coming. After patch 4.0 certain things have changed when it comes to the ships being sold in the different ports. 1. The highest quality level offered is still "fine" (Blue). Is this still true? 2. The highest number of "upgradeable slots" on ships sold is now 2. Is this true? Yes the highest quality level is blue, and the number of upgradeable slots is 2. 1. are you aiming for more realistic ship Management regarding the outfitting of the ship before going into the seas? like every ship has a certain space for cargo depending on the ships size and a Player would Need to manage Food, water, shot and and powder, spare parts? 2. are you going to Exchange those "repair kit mechanics" for more realistic mecanics like buying rope, Wood extra sails and Tools in port and have a the amount of available repair being dependent on the amount of parts you bought? possibly further influenced by a master carpenter and the experience Level of the carpenter mates? Currently, your ship pursuer is managing the supplies. Naval captains were more focused on the tuning of the ship. Is the development of an exploration gameplay stil topical, in redesign, on hold or abandoned ? Any detail ? Exploration gameplay will be decided after crafting is tested. You guys were talking about a new gamemode for the pvp part. the day long mode or something (cant remember exact). will it ever be released? I like the open world but it would be awesome to include your pvp in the open world stuff (like a menu so you can choose what to do). Such mode may happen if the problem of the long instance stability is solved. Other game modes incorporated into the OW (a-la battle royale) are being considered. Any news or updates of the commerce de Marseille (classe Océan) 118 gun first rate??Is it being modelled? No update on the Océan-Class yet. All promised models will be in the game. Are module drop's completely random? Yes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barberouge Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Question to developers: what next ? what is your road map after summer holidays? Crafting and Port battles are the current priorities. Basic clan/guild features will come next. These 3 next priorities will finish the basic feature set for the Early Access. The rest will depend on the success of the game and the general reception of the public. I would like to change my player name without creating a new player, can that be done? Currently it isn't possible. Not sure whether it will be proposed in the future. Can we augment group limit? 6 is like potbs. The current limit is 5 to fit to 25v25 battles. The group limit could be expanded if there are many requests. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Federico de Gravina y N Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There are going to be another wipe after today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 You can be very sure that there will be additional wipes prior to release. No one can say just how many, but hard wipes are normal during early testing phases, and it is also normal to wipe just before release as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysse77 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 i did a quick search on this but couldn`t find if it was asked before, sorry if it was already mentionned... Is there any plans to had clan warehouse, or a better way to trade with someone that is not online at the same time you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toggman Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I would like to see some sail repairs because all ships at that time carried spare sails, two repairs for sails would be nice. Plus at lease one hull repair. Thank you ps love the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 well you are in the !ask the devs stuff you want to know" thread Which means you should post this kind of feedback in the gameplay subforum.

rosencl Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hello, I saw that the game had naval battles with storm, it will be included to the game according to the climate of open world ?, and nighttime battles? if you start a naval battle in the open world near a port or coast, background'll see the landscape of the island or continent? it was mentioned that a system is available to take enemy ports, these ports will have naval artillery defenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvenski Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 @1-2: The devs have said that they will eventually tie the battle instances in with the open world, so whatever conditions you're encountering in the open world (night time, storms, a narrow bay, etc.) when you enter battle, you'll have the same conditions in the battle instance. @3: I assume so, yes. A while ago, the devs did test NPC artillery fortifications in Sea Trials. I can't recall reading anything specific about that since, though.

DrZoidberg Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Question: any possibility to happen that u let use more (maybe only 2) ships and let them change (with thier home port) at any time? If i wanna do ECO i just have to sail to my ECO ports, what is usally 20-30 min, make ECO run, what usually 20-30 min again, get back to my hunting area,what 20-30 min again. That means 1, 1.5 half hour without fun factor. Thats the time i have for playing/ day. So many waste of time just will force me to stop playing, and i think i wont be alone. if u dont want to let multiplie ship system, u should let a primary, secondary (maybe third at admiral level) ship system to decrease a bit the OW sailing time. Btw if somebody dont want to do ECO (what i doubte, as after certeain time u cant get better ship), can have with this system 2 paralell hunting area what boost fun factor again gives more goals to make more capable fighting ships.

BlueEagleGER Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Question: any possibility to happen that u let use more (maybe only 2) ships and let them change (with thier home port) at any time? You can have multiple ships at different home ports, each one has to an outpost. Then you can use the teleport to get to an other outpost of yours and then sail from there. Example: Yor trading outpost is Plymouth and you have a traders cutter there and in Jeremie you have a frigate. Monday you do your trading run and when you stop playing you teleport to Jeremie, then on Tuesday you go hunting and right before logoff, you take your cutter and teleport back to Plymouth.

Its not the same i mentioned. I just told that if u want players to play so much OW sailing time will force some player out. What i suggested seems a good way between too much OW sailing but too easy to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueEagleGER Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 any possibility to happen that u let use more (maybe only 2) ships and let them change (with thier home port) at any time? So, can you lease tell me what you are trying to say here? You want to have more than one ship, your ships change (like a surprise on monday and a frigate on tuesday or what?), and the "home ports" (outpost?) change aswell. It might be because English is not my first language but I do not understand what you propose here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrapeShot Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think he wants to run 2 ships simultaneously: a trader on autopilot hauling trade goods and a warship he can fight with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrZoidberg Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) i suggested to have 2 ship (main and secondary) players can change at any time (with the port they are in). Players should mark thier main and secondary ship from thier "shippool". So u can do ECO run with ur trader, after do hunt run with frigate, and no OW sailing between the two playtype, what is really boring and waste of time. For example i do ECO run at Prinzapolka, hauling there Pine log from bluefilds and make fittings, after i just change to my frigate at Jeremi, and hunt. If i do this with teleport system, i do my ECO run at Prinzapolka, then i just teleport to Kingston with my full trader to haul the stuff there, and then i have to sail to Jeremi, what usually 15 min boring, useless sail. With my system u just skip this sail. If player dont want to do ECO, he can have 2 hunter ship at another ports. Its good for PVE players, and PVP players too i think. This system just eliminate the most annoying thing in the game for me, much common yacht OW sailing, while about half OW sailing (with real target like hunting and hauling) just still needed to do. Plus with this system u are more free abot the time, when to do ECO, its not bounded to ur teleport time.
