  1. I see they run out fast in main spots, wheat I think needs to be done is they needed to be spread out a little more. I could hardly find any pirate or caridbean goods in the Bahamas and all the Free ports in that area want those goods. Main thing I would love is return of the scroll over a port on the map and it tells you what it consumes/produces. We had this back before the regions resets so it's not nothing new. It would save time of having to check every freaking port and it's mother to find out what will cunsume what goods. yes You can check the trader tools, but that is per product not per port. I want to know what one port consumes. Do it like we had it before where it only will show you if you have visited that port and updates every time you visit it again (in case it changes) but the info is still there.
  2. I only lost like 20K when I lost my brig, but I wasn't on like my 100 run as I'm sure some folks might of been on. I'm trying to play more causal until I get that "INSURANCE" saved up and a nice stocked warehouse of goods and being able to afford my cannons and support my fleet.
  3. You didn't say two days, but still that is only 5 hours of game play. Maybe if they where hard core I can believe it, but you did not say two days. I guessed it was over two days. Though again these are not new players they are players that have played the game for a good long time I take it? So they know the in's and out's. So is France fighting in one over in there home Capital regions? I mean other than the guys that been hanging around La Tort? So has any french of there been loosing traders over the last two days? Pirates been loosing a lot cause of there location, but we can call that hard mode so let it slide. Yes have insurance, but my point is that some players won't have that option and when they loose there only trader ship or ship than have no reall easy means to make that money back they will just give up and leave the game.
  4. That is only 2 1/2 hours. They did all that in 2 1/2 hours? Uh you might want to check on how some one did all that in 2 1/2 hours.
  5. What nations? Just wondering and by the way newbie rank doesn't mean they are newbie players. Again if I play how I know things I would have a good big stocked up. I just make 200K making trade runs in the shallows away from the hot zones on my alt, but that is cause I know what to buy and sale and where to get them. Even got into a little cutter vs cutter match I just lost, but my Trader Brig in fleet (empty that protected so it get away). I'm pretty sure he wasn't a newbie midshipman either cause he knew exactly how to take my mast down and crew, but than I wasn't extactly playing a maxed out char either as I haven't redeembed my xp on that char and only have ranked him up enough to run a cutter with a T Brig. I can do that all day long if I want to on my alt to make money, but that gets boreing just making trade runs.
  6. @victor I think the Basic cutter counts for both now. Some one can correct me on this.
  7. Yah but we had a fright they didn't fire on either players of either side. It's been F11. If it happens again that they don't fire at the players we will F11 it.
  8. and it was abused before by groups too. We would hit a few US players in the Bahamas so it would be a 2 vs 3 or 3 vs 5 with them all ways having the more numbers. The first thing they would do is run to the Forts and hide under them while they chew us up. The simple solution is to just not reward players for what the Forts kill, thought ya'll already do that. The problem I see is that they don't fire at AI fleets with a player either and some of these ports I listed we where fighting players and they did not fire on the players either.
  9. In a PvP fight cause we have a group of french that are fully decked out in ships no runing block aid on the trade runs on Mort to La Tor. I left with some ships and only half gun cause it was all I could afford to help stop them from raiding on our traders Didn't do so well with just bottom deck guns. I have no complaint on the combat it's the cost hit to some one that doesn't have means to make money to replace them easly.. This is far and such, but the point is you say cheap ship, it's not cheap. I didn't even bought that ship as it's one of the free ships. But a player that did would be devastated and no way to get money back cause now he has no trade ship and no fighting ship. He's back to a basic cutter and can't afford to produce his econ cause he's out of money. Which is the reason I'm in the shallows now trying to make money grinding out ships with my basic cutter.
  10. Just the 24 9pb's for the lower deck on the Surprise was 70K. Since I lost the fight I lost both ship (which was free) and cannons so that set me back. Since I no longer have a Trader Brig either I"m stuck with a basic cutter. I don't have cannons for the Pickle until I get money. The problem is you loose money way to fast and now I'm stuck out of the fight for prob a day or two until I make money. Not to mention if I do any production like say Iron I need money. You say we can just trade and make money with other players, well can't even get it out of the production house cause to withdraw it's over 100K. I mean I can pull out 150 of the 500 iron ore, but I don't have the money. It would be like wood pecker to make money. Pull out 150 iron, than take it to Mort and put it up for sale. Maybe some one will buy it...oh and I had to pay a fee to post. Well maybe some one buys it quickly. I go back to Little Iguana and pull out now 300 Iron and take it back. I think the big problem is you didn't give folks any seeded cash to start out with. So those that got money up and cannons on there ships are attacking folks trying to make money and if they get sunk they are even more in a hole and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger until they get frustrated and just stop playing the game. I have all slots unlocked on my basic cutter, but none on any other ship cause I can't afford the cannons or even run econ right now. I don't expect us to get rich fast but would been nice if we got a little cash to open up your first outpost and set up your buildings and a little extra to stock one ship with cannons. It is not 24K for 40 gun? 24 9 lbs is 70K at 2976 per cannon (not 900 per gun). We can't buy Carro's in shop. AND I CAN"T CRAFT GUNS CAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE SHOP YET AND WAITING TO MAKE MONEY TO PRODUCE IRON AND OTHER PRODUCTS YOU NEED MONEY TO PRODUCE.
  11. I have lost two ships since patch. A trader with some cargo that had all I had left in gold worth of cargo and the Suprise with just the 9 pds on it. CHEAP? Have you played your game. I was broke both times and that is over 200K. I'm broke in a basic catter right now, but I can't do anytihng cause we have a group of 6 french going around killing every one and they are all in fully built up ships. Hard to get a foot step when your broke and folks are sinking you so you can't make money to produce anythings in your buildings and buy new cannos to fight back. Basic cutters aren't going to beat Suprises and other ships. I'll be in the shallows since it's not even safe at your capital. OH and the forts at Ocean Bright and I think a few other ports don't fire on enemy ships. I think Morts like that too.
  12. Capture a closer region with it?
  13. Just to let you know I tested this on PvE cause I plan to have all my chars with the same names I was using on testbed there....Sir Texas, Lil Texas and Big Texas to make it simple and I'm picking multi nations for them for "TRADE", but either way it works didn't loose anything and have new names and nations for each of them. If they haven't redeem them they can just delete there char and make a new one of the new nation. Only use the papers if you have redeemed stuff and don't want to start over.
  14. There is a group of them in the La Tort area too that been patrolling our trade ships that make the Mort to La Tort run. I lost my Trader Brig this morning.
  15. Looks like ya'll should be getting that region just south of ya'll as it has coal. I was actually looking at that cause we where thinking crap the US is prob going to hit us in the Bahama's and try to take what we have. Though we have it in Rum Cove too, but Kidd's island is a bit of a long distance for any production for most folks.
  16. While not part of the patch info I think this is kinda a good point. Maybe have when the tutorial come out they get a Basic cutter and then basic brig to play with and learn both ships types.. I love the Privater and would prefer to be in it, but it was cheaper for every one to just stay in cutters yesterday for grinding out xp for the unlock and get gold for starting the game. I haven't moved up in ships cause I'm one of the ship builders in clan and wanted to get our econ up and going. Though we did have a blast the few hours running around doing missions north of Mort in 9 basic cutters. It was like a pack of rats on every thing. Spent more time playing bumper cars int he fleet missions and laughing at the guys on fire cause they have open mag perk. That LVG was in fireshock as one guy was in boarding with it. He won with 3 crew left and it didn't blow up. I was sitting stand by with full crew and 100% board prep telling him to back out. SO yah we are having fun, but we got to get things rolling too. Back to COAL topic if you look at the locations there is a lot of them spread out all over so it won't be hard for most nations to get them. I think there are more Coal ports than there was silver ports.

  17. Thanks.
  18. My basic cutter is maxed out all 5 slots unlocked on both chars. So don't tell me to take the time cause I hate the little thing and want to move up into bigger ships, but I want the Cannons I want on it and not a bunch of mediums. Ever seen what 9 basic cutters can do to an LVG? Yah we took one down yesterday cause we where so tired of grinding fleets to get xp and credits. Sorry we don't want to be a bunch of newbie cutter ships. We want to be in ships we enjoy playing.

  19. Prob should add you moved Coal from Morgan Bluff to Kemp Bay (might of moved other places). Thanks now I'm out of the credits for the outpost and buildings for putting up production in that port. Was anything else by chance moved? Guess I'll break the Basic Cutter out to grind some more credits to pay for the abandon fee and than new pout post an buildings. GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND.....haven't been seeing much Naval Action at all......

  20. To be honest by time you start back on the servers and grind your way back through the basic cutter and what ever ships you like you will prob be hitting RA ten times over before you even get into the SOL's. You will have what ever rank you had before back in no time.
  21. @admin not to keep repeating it (only second time) can we now that the patch has been put to live get an accurate Ship Knowledge Tree so we know what paths we need to take for what ships and what level we have to get on each ship for future ships up the line? This way as folks are starting on the new patch servers can move from the cutter into what ship they want to work for and get the experience needed later on so they don't have to go back to that ship again once they out grown it. Remember we are very limited on dock space so I don't want to be keeping a bunch of ships around cause I don't know if I will need it to unlock something down the road. Thanks
  22. Most EU players you mean? It's not a holiday over here in the states but can't speak for any other countries either. It's mid week so I wouldn't expect us to really see the numbers until a week or so from now when more players have have time to return to the game and check it out or get stable on the server they pick.
  23. And you guys forget that this is mid week and the patch was not really exactly announced. We had a few old time players return and a few more say they will be on on the weekend. Give them time and see how the numbers play out. You can't go off the first 24 hour numbers mid week lol

  24. For a surprised update mid week those numbers actually where pretty good. I expect to see some higher numbers this weekend for sure on all servers.
  25. @admin Can we get a ship learning tree now so we know what ships we need to learn to go up what line. It's changed some or a few ships we aren't sure what is needed. Thanks
