  1. Thank you for that case study of how player haulers aren't truly at risk. You could have gotten away from that cerb easy as well, but your story is better with that compassionate Samaritan.
  2. You will keep your xp forever. They might wipe the craft xp, though I pray desperately to the pig cloud they won't. With rank and crafting level worldly treasures come easy. (Ninja'd by admin, dammit!)
  3. Why say that? We love new guys who struggle and are frustrated. We help them and take away the pain.
  4. Makes me want to weep.What the fuck does long distance afk travel add to this fantastic game?! They mean well but "player shipping should be at [PVP] risk" is a lost cause. The whiners won and now we all have to suffer.
  5. Oh,ya! Trinco first stop. Dat speed and dem chasers. Trinco is one of the few ships that can actually make a fight happen with the OW and instance disconnect.
  6. We never stopped. (Were rats for that purpose) Come to the dark side, we have cookies...
  7. Hah! Some of us suggested that new guys should be given cutters as starter ships so they wouldn't suffer. Don't make a problem out of free cutters. Of all the problems in the world...
  8. For me it is a mad rush to craft and crew Connies. 1st rates aren't even on my list. Finding fights and getting better is my end game.
  9. Right now, the brand of gameplay available to me, as a Danmark-Norge player with medium amount of free time to use on this game, is like this: I'll have to accept to xp grind slower than the big boys. That's fine, no problem at all. But my limited gold would leave me out of the crafting race, completely, as I can't compete with the big boys' contracts for iron and oak. That's not acceptable to me. If you want to be competitive in this game you need to be crafting lvl 50 at some point for the upgrades mainly. I think I might need to buy another account with a brit character later. The zerg might gobble up everything... Do you need me to limit my gameplay, arch? I have fought the idea of the super rich grinders getting it all for a long time. I give up, though. I see no option other than using second accounts to stand a chance, and I'm not even a casual. What should they do?
  10. In theory, yes, OP is right. In practice, player traders that are not afk sailing are as safe as teleporters, sailing just takes more time.
  11. Edit: ninja'd If you're starting out, just get: Oak Fir Iron Coal Hemp Teak to offload oak needs for frames A little bit of Lignum vitae and pine And just start clicking.
  12. What do you mean? "slavecrafter" Isn't offensive but it could be annoying or provoking to those who consider second account slaving a terrible thing. Besides, as admin pointed out, the name has nothing to do with it. It's what Schutz said, most likely some problem with steam and paypal. I mean, someone who buys a second account and names it "slavecrafter" is probably a crook.
  13. Oh, noes! I forgot about winning the war!!!! This really was something my nephew would be able to use, so it had to be a dane. Don't worry, Schutzy, I have more money than sense so I might be able to help you out with your devious plans. btw, guys. It's this guy you should be worried about. Schutz is, like, chaotic-evil. I only pretend to be friends with him, I'm too scared to resist him. Before go to bed I have to protect myself from evil (Schutz) with this: "Kaaa-Liii-Maaa... Schutz-ti-deh... Kah Li Mah Schutz ti deh!" It was PayPal, so it's weird. It didn't bounce, it was a forced refund!?
  14. Hah! I'm more chaotic-neutral to chaotic-good on good days.
  15. Thanks! That was an abundantly loud and clear. I won't burden you with this trifle, though they stole the money intended for you, the bastards! I've already started the process with Steam.
  16. Stumbled upon this while looking for something else, found it oddly appropriate.
  17. It might be added, it's just not a priority at this stage. While you wait use visual clues, the compass, Prater's map, F11 and Siegfried's and Shrouded's maps.
  18. In the mean time, do this as a quick fix so you don't have to alt-tab, but just bring up steam overlay. Note: The latest version of Siggi's map has some form of scale not shown on the pic in the post.
  19. Before the wipe I slaved for two of my friends and went from level 1-20 almost without making a single ship. They have me... I have noone... (╥_╥)
  20. INteresting.
  21. I have been punished. I want to go full disclosure because I didn't know this was expressly against any rules. I bought a second account for three reasons. First of all I don't mind supporting this game and it's rather cheap so I made a second steam account and bought a copy. This account I meant to use when my nephew visits. He wants to play what I play, first tanks and now this. The third reason was to use this account to slave for my main account, I even named the account "slavecrafter" so no attempt at anything underhanded was done. After just one day and 1000 slaved hours used I got a message from steam that the account had been marked with "fraudulent use" and my money returned to me. No warning and no questions asked. Everyone knows this account is not the only slave account on the servers. Most likely mine got caught because I used that obvious name and posted a "." (for trading) in Christiansted chat and was noticed and reported by other players. The report may have been sent to Game-Labs directly or some steam system may have been used, no way for me to tell. I think we need rules in place before punishmnent is doled out. Do Naval Action rules differentiate between accounts and actual physical persons? Are we allowed to buy more than one account? One account per person or one account per creditcard or paypal account? Are slave accounts ok as long as they're being played normally as well? (Mine would have been if it hadn't been killed before the visit of the intended player) I know I'm causing a headache right now, but I blundered into an offense I couldn't have known about. In many other games it is ok to own several accounts and use them as you please. Please, if bans are to be dealt out without any due process, we need clear rules. I advise you to be very careful with no due process reactions towards paying customers. Ask your friends at wargaming, they are very careful with such reactions, actually they don't have such a practice, they even issue warnings to cheaters when "physical" evidence is present.
  22. It is based on this official explanation. Let me know if you see something that I got wrong.
  23. Me too, but it was the other way around. I waited and clicked attack to his deck guns and was surprised to see it , heh, backfired on me. I wonder if it's intentional?
  24. I believe you are right, some things have changed since since the original explanation. It's all very dependent on upgrades, and bots run around with crazy boarding setups.
