only after Localization works are finished But please provide screens of windows you want to resize and sizes you want them to be (for your screens) in the port interface feedback topic

thats a good point

Because of the last chance system gives you (works both ways). We blame Rafael Sabatini who described this in his book about Captain Blood who boarded the enemy flagship in his sinking Arabella and switched to enemy ship when he won the boarding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Blood_(novel) If you are sinking you can also try to board an enemy and switch to his ship if you won.

npc fleets and ships have their own plans and routes and they dont depend on players.

nope.. we checked. both tax collections were purely from sales of trading resources.

question to the trading community.. San juan yesterday tax is almost 800k reals which is almost 20 mln in old money. Maracaibo tax of 360k was generated just by one trader (which means sold goods for 3.6 mln reals) If players convey in this topic that trading is unprofitable - how is it possible (most tax is trading related) that cities like maracaibo and san juan generate so much tax from trading? edit… could be that these are the goods from bottles or NPC trader hunting which can spawn rare riches?

This fix refers to non player controlled AI mostly. Being a honorable player you probably not aware of this exploit. Friendly NPCs do not return fire and this opened up too many possibilities for ridiculous fishing. For example players were demasting decrewing friendly NPCs allowing the person on the other side to get easy kills and loot. Removing damage to friendly NPCs removed the exploit.

More flags will be added in the future. Including the mad king flag - thanks for suggestion - keep them coming

Missions are not the only way to level and are no longer optimal way to level slots. Cerberus can kill any NPC 5th rate if you fit it properly and like in many other games players can find out the proper fit out by playing and experimenting. But I agree that ship rating (5th rates) has wider variety of ships than other ratings In terms of how to level. PVP is best for leveling as it gives 2.5x XP Second is open world hunting (you pick your targets yourself so you never face an opponent you do not like), combined with doubloon rewards for hunts and S&D missions and missions chests they could give from good to amazing rewards. Kill Missions are the third way to level but because most common towns give 5thrate missions you can get unlimited supply of them by just traveling.

Folks were shooting their own AI fleets (they dont respond in kind) and asked friends from other nations to pick up loot.

we are monitoring the wood supply and already increased the number of deliveries if eventually wont be able to find live oak in a day or two even at high price - let us know again in the trading feedback topic or in support (file a bug)

players are buying it. Previously it was brought in small quantities to all assigned ports. Now it is brought in full quantities thus - less often (but in same quantity overall).

This is a suggestion topic what is your suggestion?

Yes. they will not be able to join battles soon

molten iron shell from 1850? fire arrow? No plans for new type of shots, especially like fire arrow - presented without analysis - like with penetration tables for the game, damage, place in game. prices, roles

Trading will be adjusted next patch. Trading in high volume lower margin demanded items should provide more trading opportunities (like grain). Player should be able to trade if he wants to only trade as his main activity. Trading resource spawn volumes were too low to satisfy this demand.

Unfortunately instaclose was bad for groups and actually was washing out players who wanted to play with friends.

Captains. Please provide feedback on AI, Ai behaviour, NPC travel routes and all other issues related to computer managed ships.

1540 bots for our online numbers is more than enough. We do not like handholding a player and feeding him with a spoon. Due to the size of the world they cant be everywhere? They sail from port to port and thus they are spread. Some areas are more interesting as they create natural chokepoints where lots of ships/fleets meet. - This could be the place where you can find them easily - in that hunting place. Abundance in our game means you have to find a hunting spot. Find a hunting spot, then there is an abundance. ps there could be bugs. but our bot live travel map shows there are 1540 bots in places where they should be sailing!

what ship were you using?

If you want more quality PVP (you do want quality pvp based on your post about ganking) you don't want more outposts you want less outposts. Then for example you found a nice solo target his friends wont be able to jump into location easily. Outposts favor biggest side. Real solo player unconsciously wants zero outposts in game even if they help him occasionally.

@Christendom mentioned they were hitting mission bots He probably forgot that mission bots have bad loot tables for the last 12-18 months or even more. i dont even remember when it was introduced - but it was in the patchnotes. Hitting mission bots for loot is no better than fishing in capital waters.

you should of course report this using report function or better send a direct pm in private saying something like "You are really crossing the line - chill man please or reconsider your statement.. " Everybody is human…But a nice human message will work wonders.

usage of forged papers keeps all unfinished accomplishments on the old name.

where are you based (in game) and what are you looking for? Traders?
