The ability to acquire a blueprint and permit is under review. Current implementation forces pirates to cooperate with national players which we don't yet know a good thing or a bad thing. Pirates can acquire the BPs using rogue friends in nations and this makes this feature fake. The outlaw battle is for settling score between pirates - and does not pull NPCs in. Thus all fleet ships and trader ships are not going to be pulled into the battle.

If your target is a contraband trader this can happen. If you attack combat ships or just normal traders from enemy nations this problem won't happen. Contraband traders are pirates and attacking a pirate creates an outlaw battle if you are a pirate. We will fix the problem with npc traders.

slight increase to top masts good increase to mid masts for top masts for example 3 shots.. but thickness was increased basically surprise thickness at top mast was 30cm equivalent after wipe now its 47cm equivalent numbers are approximate

we will see of course. tops and topgallants falling down were awesome and exciting. Also they brought the important of the first proper shot. The negative was that they became a dominant and only strategy to win. so we will continue tuning the masts.. but they definitely not going to be as strong as before wipe.

Conquest marks will return tomorrow we have found the elegant solution to actually promote conquering and holding the regions.

Here is the list of the bonuses for the refits added to the admiralty for the pve marks. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U4e4D1Sn5D7L36z_KTYG2SymRGNaPOQs09a5TFgVXuc/edit#gid=1132616989 Please remember that the bonuses are not final and will be updated if necessary based on testing results. Feel free to use this topic for feedback on stats and performances of the upgrades. Keep in mind that many blueprints require some regional resources to produce - not all of them can be easily made. This is the list of blueprints that will require additional items that are not easily available (drop from NPCs). Elite Spanish Rig Refit Elite British Rig Refit Elite French Rig Refit Elite Pirate Rig Refit French Gunnery Sergeant British Gunnery Sergeant Northern Master Carpenters Nassau Fencing Masters Guacata Superior Gunpowder Almeria Superior Gunpowder The rest of blueprints have the required resources available by trading and can be bought in ports.

indeed. overhaul of skill book presentations is a planned feature. we will post descriptions on forum in a couple of hours! so at least people know what they give

there are still drops of course.

we are going to provide a reverse exchange

this will be addressed in a near future. hold on there.

This was a test. And we do take exploits seriously. Captains in question could have just asked french not to come - they could have shoot some forts and get rewards. Which is normal for undefended port battles Instead they persuaded french captains to suffer through humiliation of sinking in front of the world without cannons live on stream. They also tried to ask the same from the Spanish. In addition to that captains on stream decided to show the world by live streaming that rules don't concern them. And have not shown any attempt to reconcile in this topic. As a result French captains who sank with no guns suffered enough humiliation by bending over to the enemy sinking in front of the world - will lose one rank French captain STC88 Le chat duc who came to the battle armed and stroke colors to avoid humiliation will be rewarded Pirates will be punished as well. The mildest punishment will be done to Christendom for his attempt to repair and reconcile. The rest of pirates participants in the battle have been demoted to thiefs for exploiting and streaming their exploit to the world. Conquest marks are going to be removed from game for rework and replaced by PVP marks. Topic can be closed now.

Rewards for ships might be updated later.

where are you located current maintenance time slot has the lowest online numbers historically

they still have remaining bonuses and work.. only angle increase bonuses were removed for fixing. (they were crashing your client sometimes) which could be unfortunate in an important battle.

coal still is strategic.. its just we added a little bit more options for nations that had to sail 2 hours (back and forth) to it even if they controlled it.

its coming back once the bug is fixed

nothing important was removed.

topic locked as new hot fix has been deployed

Captains - hot fix was deployed to live servers today What's new Refits blueprints are added to the admiralty stores for pve marks and removed for drop. We do not want luck in drop to affect gameplay for captains. Time to sink increased for vessels to allow a bit more space for loot pickup. Gross ventre hold increased to 1900 War supplies pricing adjusted Outposts and docks prices slightly adjusted 5 new ports added for coal production for balance the distance from capitals between all nations Mast hp and thickness increased for mid and top sections Maintenance time moved 1hr earlier Lock down before and after maintenance reduced for Global server Conquest marks moved for rework and rebalance. Lineships prices are now in pvp marks Fixed bugs and Gameplay tuning More problems with UI fixed Fixed bug that did not allow Port battles to be set up on the Global server Signaling perk removed for rework and rebalance (because it did not work as intended) Swing bed and elevating screw, Sur le Canonnage a Bord, Gunnery Encyclopedia, Table of parts of Ships of War angle bonuses temporarily removed for bug fixing (they will come back) Regional bots routes slightly improved Labor hours for cannon production/repair production reduced by approximately 30% Cool-down for armor and crew repair is now 10 mins to test combat repairs on with a wider audience (previously it was ran on testbed only). Please hold your swords on this if you want no repairs or longer cool downs. Discuss

wait for mission chains captain

funny how?

just do some points for that port and you can enter first.

just go set up your own PB mate. Your nation can have 3 per day. Pick a distant region. raise hostility to 100 and you will enter first.

good idea cap.. will see about it

Here is the video french ships did not even have guns. Thats a clear exploit real politicians captains would just ask french to not come and shoot forts. But no. you need to exploit and shove it into the everyone's face by streaming it?
