you can sink any trader in a basic cutter with 4lb guns

yes

Captains Patch have been deployed to live servers today. Solo orders are now available for all ranks (despite they were reducing the feel of the hunt - players loved them). It was a mistake to remove them before mission agents were implemented. Basic cutters are no longer pulled into PVP battles with the following conditions basic cutter cannot attack other ships (including basic cutters) basic cutter can be attacked basic cutters are not pulled into battles if you attack another ship basic cutter ARE pulled into battles if you attack a basic cutter Snow HP is increased Trader ships can now carry cannons - and will carry them. This will allow cargo hunting and baiting unprepared privateers. Trader ships overall speed slightly reduced (by 0.4 knots) Deceleration times reduced for the following vessels Cutter Pickle Brig Navy Brig Snow Cerberus Frigate Belle Poule Essex Indefatigable Pirate frigate Snow, Cutter, Lynx speed slightly increased Sailing rigs and refits rebalanced (with speed bonuses reduced) Defensive War supplies dumps now give correct decrease of hostility Crafted set bought by freetowns now contain more shipbuilding materials (to provide more ship building options for players operating from freetowns NPC will sell those resources they bought at cheaper prices ROE timer problems fixed and some timers are tuned. Players will no longer be able to attack directly from invisibility Invisibility timer reduced to 30 seconds (players coming out of invisibility won't be able to attack for another 30 seconds) Battle closing time reduced to 3 minutes from 5 minutes Demasting rebalanced. We were not satisfied that too many pvp fights focused only on demasting and it will be much harder to destroy lower mast sections from now on. Labor hour costs of repair rig materials became lower Lower caliber guns costs were reduced Loot tables updated and npc combat ships will drop rare refits and admiralty skillbooks (previously only available for pvp marks) Endymion now uses correct pumps (and no longer requires 60 men to operate) Fort positions updated for several ports Furnishings price changed from pvp marks (25) to pve marks (300) Discuss

outlaw battles don't give any rewards. if it happens please report F11 as it is a bug.

That is a feature. Mission entry is only allowed for ships of mission level or below. It provides enough challenge for mission runners but does not ruin their experience blocking endymion from attacking low level players in missions.

bug - will be fixed tomorrow

well the difference is whether we show it from the player side or from the market side if from the market - then it should be buy/sell (market buys/market sells) if from the player - then it should be sell/buy (player sells/player buys) changing the words is simple and is not the issue we will fight to the death if everyone will say it is a problem.

it is indicated based on the stock market generally accepted principles sell - you sell buy - you buy bid ask would also be correct but not everyone understands that

server does not matter - you can do it on pve server so no-one can interfere

Lets say port generates 2000 marks per 2 weeks Lets say you flip it once a week - so you get 1000 and give away 1000 to someone else First question why would you do it? Second question If you would do it why should we care? If you are interested in world peace ... why complain? If you are not interested in the world peace - you have all the tools to change it. Just raise hostility and take the port and keep it and don't flip it.

We would like to show everyone that rookie ships are beasts in right hands and that ai is completely incompetent against the right opponent. Hence the competition Sink the AI Le gros ventre (escorted or unescorted) in a basic cutter solo (boarding allowed) Record it on video and upload to youtube Post the video here Top 3 fastest wins will be presented Santa Cecilia Frigate (wood/planking will be provided based on captains choice) Rules You must be in a basic cutter You must be alone (no outside help is allowed) Explosion kills do not count Competition ends next Monday 19th June. Top 3 videos will be posted on NA channels and FB pages.

If everyone is exchanging ports who is steamrolling who. I don't get it. Explain to me as if i am five.

You should read forum and game rules. Its all there. Damage, XP and Money farming is not allowed. French were not fighting thus it was farming. It was all streamed live Also - please last time - stay on topic. You seem obsessed by undergunned french captains (who you even stressed in bold). Is it a story for @Pagan Pete corner?

if he does not report you to tribunal after - you can set fireships this way. not only that. if you shoot at target fire spreads faster (works both ways).

Indeed, You don't decide how french like to spend their time and money. Community brings offenses to tribunal and developers decide based on the game rules. If someone decides to sacrifice junk ships for xp, money or marks or to benefit from that there is an rule on that and their progress will be reset. How is it relevant to political port trading? Please stay on topic and don't derail the conversation from now on.

And? You can come and stop it. Sink them during hostility, take the port. Or keep coming every week for pvp.

If french did not come (empty port battle) nothing would happen, surrendering port to the enemy is ok in the times of war sometimes. But arranged farming of pvp marks is not allowed. If you see players doing it report them. We will reset the bastards and if happens again ban them forever.

you are gravely mistaken. Please do not listen to those who tell you the BS about NPC buying at bad prices. NPC buy at huge markups if they consume the resource. Smart players already use it to their advantage.

Trading Louisiana or Alaska for money is politics. Its not an exploit. Its allowed But you know the trading will happen. Arrive there and stop it and get some free ships as a result. There is teleport mechanic - you have to control the region and TP there as many times as you want.

you contradict yourself here You say 7th and 6th rates are hard to replace But NPC shops buy crafting materials at ridiculous prices Generating ridiculous profits i suppose right as you said in the next town. If people can make those ridiculous money in the next town (easy money) - why can't they use that money to replace 7th and 6ht rates?

There are no alliances any more. Any nation can interfere in deals they don't like during hostility generation (ports cannot change without hostility).

Next forged papers $10 dollars. Lets turn disloyal players into new ships.

snow will be updated.. it is indeed should be comparable to a brig

В открытом мире - это не телепорт - это tow to port - транспорт вашего корабля в ближайший порт - или по другому unstuck. Помогает если вы застряли где то в мелях. По поводу телепортов во фритауны - нет единого решения пока.

The angles are still valid (should be valid). So Privateer at 15 knots (angle 45) cannot chase constitution at 15 knots (angle 135) but of course some speed mods could be a little bit unbalanced.
