How about L'Hermione (5th rate) and Rättvisan (4th rate)

Sharing is caring. It's ok if people use them more, and share with friends. Some rare paints might remain exclusive and in game only - but we have not finalized it yet. We do not want players to wait for some rare skin for months.

yes. coming soon within 30 days.

good point

there are 49 approved paints (they are in paint chest - that drops from the treasure fleet event). In total there is currently around 100+ additional unapproved paints. almost all or all will get to DLC.

Patchnotes updated Hot fix was deployed on the 21st March. Painter DLC is now available for purchase Reduced fire spread rate from being under fire by 20% Other minor localization fixes were applied

This does not happen when you win the boarding does it? This only happens when both sinking ships sit in brace and are passive in boarding.

I understand. but it works both ways. Boarding must be resolved, even if both ships are sinking. Once it is resolved and battle is not over they will both sink once boarding ends.

It's because of the Captain's Blood adventures by Sabatini. Last chance boarding.

Computers use numbers and packets when calculating things. As a result when battle is over the person who sank first (first packet flying at the speed of electricity reaches the server) is considered sank and all others can exit the battle (even those who are in the process of sinking too), because battle over message overrides all states and removes exit limitations. There is no RNG. Just packets and numbers. 1nes or 0es Same does not happen with the exit timer, because we lock the exit for ships taking water. But battle over message means battle is over and you can try to exit (even on the sinking ship).

letter delivery will be replaced by cargo delivery very soon heavy cargo good profit in reals for a manageable short route to provide for 100% losses in PvP if you urgently need cash.

we do not know if this new steam initiative works at all. We just know they could. Nobody knows exact rules (knowing development probably they don't know yet too)

Steam now removes reviews that are off topic (not related to the game) given good number of reports on them.

They are firefighting in shifts. Ship width does not allow all of them to get to fire AT THE SAME TIME. Only a 100 can get directly to fire at one point of time, too crowded.

You are not allowed to fight another man in the quiet library, nursery, or any other peaceful establishment EVEN if you both agree to do so. These are the rules. If you want to fight a duel over the matter of horses or any other matter - War server is such establishment.

fire has the radius and the bigger the radius the more people are needed for firefighting. they are already at max capacity, and additional people will not improve the speed of firefighting but there are mods that improve it in terms of overall spread - we will see if it needs adjusting these couple of days

Orient exploded exactly because 5 british ships were firing into it to spread fire quicker. At 21:00, the British observed a fire on the lower decks of the Orient, the French flagship.[118] Identifying the danger this posed to the Orient, Captain Hallowell directed his gun crews to fire their guns directly into the blaze. Sustained British gun fire spread the flames throughout the ship's stern and prevented all efforts to extinguish them.[109] Within minutes the fire had ascended the rigging and set the vast sails alight.[117] The nearest British ships, Swiftsure, Alexander, and Orion, all stopped firing, closed their gunports, and began edging away from the burning ship in anticipation of the detonation of the enormous ammunition supplies stored on board.[110] In addition, they took crews away from the guns to form fire parties and to soak the sails and decks in seawater to help contain any resulting fires.[112] Likewise the French ships Tonnant, Heureux, and Mercure all cut their anchor cables and drifted southwards away from the burning ship.[119] At 22:00 the fire reached the magazines, and the Orient was destroyed by a massive explosion. The concussion of the blast was powerful enough to rip open the seams of the nearest ships,[120] and flaming wreckage landed in a huge circle, much of it flying directly over the surrounding ships into the sea beyond.[121] Falling wreckage started fires on Swiftsure, Alexander, and Franklin, although in each case teams of sailors with water buckets succeeded in extinguishing the flames,[109] despite a secondary explosion on Franklin

it's not random and it can be controlled - by another side. If you are on fire - every cannonball spreads the burning pieces of wood and cloth around the ship. Enemies if they want you to explode will shoot you to spread the fire faster. Explosion only happens when fire reaches the magazine. Previously the fire spread from cannoball hits was low - it was not enough if you were on survival and firefighting actively. Now as an enemy YOU can speed up explosions if you want it. if you do not want the target to explode - do not shoot hull. Ps. we not sure yet, if it is a greatest feature ever - let's get more feedback in. Looking at your video people love using it

Clans remove trolling and griefing by alts or spies in port control or port battles. National unity is nice but 3-4 alts in lynxes could ruin your port battle before. Now they cant.

That's an interesting Ratio.

Cheating accusations follow the simple rule. If you accuse the person you must do it in tribunal with proof OR not do it at all. As many players feel that their reputation is important - you spreading false rumors instead of factual proofs are not helping both the game and the community. Only your post contained empty air cheating accusations.

Hey Hey. Look. There are rules on reporting exploits and cheats. Unlike other developers who cant fix their walhacks or push everything into client we invested a lot into tech that removes cheating or client hacking completely (even waves are on the server). As as a result unlike other devs we do not hide from such questions and do not remove discussions on cheats as we actually want them to be discussed to make tech even better for this and future games. But this must be done in special places (like tribunal) with proof. If you found something - post it and explain how it works. Better with videos. Posts without proof are just empty air and they are not allowed. Mods hide posts that do not follow the rules.

Thank you for the proposal. There are no plans to bring combat PvP to peace server. Peace server is friendly and helpful. Any form of conflict will ruin the relaxing and tranquil experience.

Hotfix was deployed today 19th March Contents of the hotfix PvP Missions Hunt tasks are now given in groups of ships instead of individual class 1-3rd rates 4-5th rates 6-7th rates rewards are still in the process of balance Tutorial changes Endurance exam player ship replaced from brig to Rattlesnake Endurance exam spawn distance increased from 500 to 800m Final exam player ship replaced from Cerberus to Surprise Fire changes Fire damage to hull and structure reduced Fire spread from getting hit by cannonballs increased You will see ships explode more under focused fire, and they will burn out much slower. Lootable chests contents rebalanced and slightly improved. PVP chests are now the fastest way to acquire books and combo book parts. Solo patrol radius decreased Fixed the bug that occasionally blocked entry to patrol battles (especially in shallow low BR patrol battles)
