Fine! Limited chain is by some viewed as sub-optimal, limited grape would work out similarly. Notice how his focus isn't chain/grape but rather the primary and side-effects to (relatively speaking) unlimited repairs.

It's one thing to be wrong, it's another matter that you happen to believe in different things than him. I believe hachi is right. I fought Ram recently, there is a definitive potential for everlasting fights given skill, books and mods. I don't know how that is a good thing ..

I've attributed that to carronade usage. But I support this, especially with longs it would be cool to see more internal damage. Maybe it would bring about more even balance between carronade and longs fits?

That was my main take-away too. Whatever other problems may arise; This sounds like an overall improvement. I don't mind the "shitty" boarding stuff, I'm fine with lower crew count being a vulnerability, I think I even like it (Hello Sea Trials mechanics!). Oh, dear! Current DD reborn? Hey, leave at least one vulnerability in. Imma watch this space...

Don't ruin the anti-DLC narrative!

Some of the patrols are rate limited. Is it possible you took your buc to a frigate patrol? Some zones seem worse than others. In my anectodal experience Tumbado and Aves have been fairly ok with small clashes while Hispaniola and Leogane always seem to end up in insano ganks. Maybe I've been extremely lucky, but I've had as many one on one duels with high profile players as I've been ganked.

Ay! Dios mio! "I used to love you, now I have to kill you."

Arright, will pm you (Baltic's regression calc is more than /13,03)

Woods and OW speed mods are easy or at least straightforward. You would have to look up the modifier in the API. I've never done this, tho, so I haven't collected a readers digest of all those factors. The force modifiers I don't know how to handle. Btw, how do you update your current profiles? Auto from API or manually? You could have access to our worksheet if that's of any help to you. Baltic updates the factor to match listed port speeds each time they tweak the math. They did it recently and with upcoming profile changes I suspect it will happen again.

lol, yes. But I get shocked every time someone (seemingly) states "No! Denied! You can't have your fun, buddy!" Signed. I know it can be done. We've even had it... You were prolly there too. I understand why it was rejected as global OW RoE, but within one little circle it won't ruin anything for sandboxers. Liq, palatinose, me, Ram, rediii and all players of similar disposition won't whine about not being able to successfully trawl the patrol zone with a dread fleet, at least when we're there... patrol zone users are only a homogenous group when we intend to go there. That leads to the final point: We sure don't need and I don't even want more than one zone whatever the player count may be. I like that fighters know where to meet and I don't want my kind of fun to poison yours. We'll see how the partly revealed new missions and mechanics work out. It does seem like there will be small and individual patrol mission zones without "anti-sandbox" RoE. I hope the public patrol zone will continue and be given true and (in my mind) hardcore anti-gank RoE.

Hmmm... So we who enjoy equal sides fights much more than numerical superiority smart fighting are not only to be relegated to a few percent (actually: per mille) of the OW real-estate, in addition we're only supposed to get it during the weekends? We don't want to force anything on you guys. Like I said in my previous post; You can do your thing 24/7/365 across all but the entire OW. Why do you care so much about what RoE we might get inside a teeny, tiny circle separated from the vast OW? How can one patrol zone pollute the OW?

Naw, naw... Would 95%(+) of the OW to enjoy, ummm, "asymmetrical warfare" be enough for you?

This was a really, really good post. Just needed to say that

Heh, I had to look that up.

As far as coffee goes; The most important factor for me is how recently the beans were roasted. Beans matter too, but the best beans in the world will taste generic after 2+ months post roast.

Lol, I paid and still haven't used (for PvP).

Awww, I can live with being the serious one as long as I know you are my friend. 😘

Indeed! Even I will tag ANYTHING that crosses my bow. Won't be a gank, tho.

The insane have more fun. You'd have to ask pala and Ram if I shamed myself.

I suppose fleet ships feel useful or fun for some. I simply can't even consider them as I can't compromise on the fighting perks.

Fools rush in...

You should have been in the patrol zone yesterday.

Now you're just misunderstanding on dogged purpose.
