Player saddam will be banned from game for 2 weeks with full reset of his in game progress. Other players are still under investigation New group type will be created Port battle fleet allowing 25 members Port battle fleet if attacks or if attacked will be pulled into battle in its entirety (if in the pulling circle) and will ignore other ships of your nation in the pulling circle All other ships will have to enter using reinforcements. This will remove the ability for your nation members to interfere with your port battle fleet and if you fleet is full you have 100% guarantee of unwanted ships getting into the battle or splitting your fleet.

indeed it happens we plan to fix it as soon as possible

Naval Action simulates a lot of elements of age of sail combat properly, and does not simulate other elements that were common to the age of sail (for example hernia casualties that exceeded combat casualties by the factor of 10) Having said that steam simulation tag contains strange games including games on pigeon dating .

The reality is that players forget that it is a harshest mmo world with RVR component where your nation can be destroyed. You have a minuscule zone around the capital (high sec) and this is all security you get. You can sink anyone anywhere and even enter their pve missions. By just sailing out into the world YOU ALREADY RISK EVERYTHING. Please don't forget that . I think its just everyone's senses have dulled over time, and even casual players became hardcore seasoned sailors after experiencing this huge risk daily (and would consider eve online with their huge high sec space a carebear world). Please don't forget that everyone. Its all null sec here, don't take it for granted. PvP mark and PVE mark conversion is a good thing for a general audience. Whats needed is proper pvp rewards that cannot be farmed in agreed battles. ps Imagine the shock if CCP removed high security space in eve for example.

do santis drop 4lb? its a bug then. can you report it by f11 when it happens to see the logs plz

Lords system is great on paper and with new UI it should have shined (imagine nice flags for your lordships, and beautiful letters from with the red seals etc). The problem with the system that like in real life old lords are not interested in wars and are interested only in the status quo. New lords (unlike real life) do not want to change the status quo and don't want to attack old lords and take their holdings... Any thoughts on why? To much land giving pensions?

We had to remove several ships. even those that were not supposed to even be premium ships due to unity engine limitations. Gunboat was one of them. They will be back once we port the game to unity 5 (as unity 4.6 does not allow us to add any ships at all anymore). In form of admiralty ships, or reward ships or quest line awards.

gun boat will return! i promise

the issue of BC will be solved by removing explosion strength from it (which will also help new players to explode less) I am just saying. if basic cutters can cause so much trouble imagine fleets of fire fitted brigs or frigates. I personally cant wait for things players can figure out with them.

We will fix the BC - but i guarantee you - British will come en force in the next cheapest ship and will burn your fleet. They have not yet realized that it is much easier to pull the same feat off with heavier ships. But they will. Are you both suggesting to switch off group pve attack for basic newbie ships? Ability to attack NPCs will - has to - remain for all ships including basic cutters. Otherwise new players wont be able to pve together at all. Captains should learn to avoid or find a counter (which are many) - for new players... and science

It is just your opinion. Not an opinion of 15-20 successful light ship captains who will remember this exciting moment forever (and probably a line ship owner will remember it too for a couple of years). Someone will be unhappy in those experiences but those are the historical experiences we are selling.. Sorry if it does not suit your personal plans. BC issue will be solved but ships will burn and will die from cheap ships if they are not careful

you can use them as normal ships if you are attacked or pulled into the pve battle i have no idea where you see the difference

mutually acceptable friendly fire is allowed. If you are ok with your friends destroying your ship - it is allowed, it was like that all the time. If you are NOT ok (you must be a target). You can report it to tribunal.

please avoid off topic how is your question relates to Spanish vs British fireship brawling?

everyone who participated and posted a video will get a prize btw

Don't spread somebody's else BS further please IF and ONLY IF your friend is not against friendly fire you can shoot him.

exploding ships are not exploits. So stop calling them that. Captains should find a counter. There are multiple counters to avoid exploding ships. The free nature of the basic cutter ship is going to be fixed, but i have a different question I wonder what will happen when players will lose a fleet of Santisimas to a fleet of exploding cheap frigates? Frigate explosions are going to be a lot more powerful. And it will cost approximately 2.5 mil to destroy a fleet worth 25 mil by fire. Will we see tribunals i wonder?

clan wars is one of the things we considered

We have already severely limited the newbie ship, based on heavy ships owners feedback. To the point that it is useless for pvp practice (rookies who you all want to be in game don't have a practice fall back ship) You are now proposing to remove it from pve (pve attacks pull players in as it is a pvp server) Simple organization will help to avoid the basic cutter attack. If you see it hugging an NPC fleet move away. Just like Pablo said.

Is not it an immersive gameplay? I see a beautiful battle which could happen in reality (and did happen). As it is hard to pull off the spanish fleet was victorious anyway, but british fleet was able to inflict some monetary loss on the opponent. Some tips for similar situations in the future When attacked by a cutter - just sail at 135 and they will not be able to keep up In addition to that use brace before explosions as it significantly limits the crew loss.

lower level ships should be a bit cheaper.
