New AIs always charge at you when you run away downwind, and the distance is greater than close-mid range.. Really easy to kite/demast and then kill with fast ship.

.... I really dont know what to say! Today i got my first battles vs AIs .. and by the comments of a lot of ppl i expected a hard one! Well... MEHHH.... SO DISAPOINTED! I killed a Connie with Mine without losing more than 5-10% armor hp.... In fact, the current AIs are FAR MORE easily killed! HINT: Stay at med range between AI and downwind.

For missions, I would pick Inger without even thinking about it.. Better turn rate + more/bigger guns and only 19% less armor/sails than Connie. Take the wind,do S-es.. But its too slow for anything else... Imo, never go for live oak/str one if your nation is ganked often. You will be so slow! Teak/str or plank/speed would be my choise. Copper/Masts/Mag access For pvp, obv Connie.

Am I the only one that just loves the patch ? Not tested anything including Ais though.. 1. More leaks - great!! Finally a good counter for demasting, carros are way more effective(open more leaks) 2. BR diff. Now at last i see people realize how useless is a live oak ship in OS... Usually you waste yours, and others time coming with your live oak/stiff ship.. you never gonna hit anything unless your "tacklers" demast your enemies.. 3. No capped ships? Great! See 2... The only thing that needs a little tweak imo, is the amount of leaking.

that is actually bad for me i dont want to cap AIs at all ...

Just a quick question.. I am sorry if it has been asked already .. i couldnt read all posts. Will we keep the captured ships we own now after the patch ? Or they will be autosold to port ? I am asking, because most players atm just stockpile captured ships.. Maybe spare them the trouble ?

So far imo, the best I fought was Laik from Rakers.

I am chill dude Just like to argue sometimes, when there is a point Anyways, off topic.. so I better stop it.

Hm... so it is ok for crafters to extort us with labor hour(crafting tool)...400k high grade notes etc.. but it wont be ok if we want some gold from them for medals(pvp tool) ? Can you see the hypocrisy ?

I cannot say about nations, but with pirates .. its a whole different story. Too many hunters.... too few crafters. As i said i found a guy that will do it. I had other crafters willing to make me a Consti if i provide all mats.. the problem is the 25% chance.. it would take me too much time to collect/make mats for a couple of Connies ;/ As for the pvp.. actually the hunt itself ..to prepare,lure, intercept, navigate,communicate, tag well enough so you have a chance to catch/run away in battle, is as fun and interesting as the battle. Imo removing reinforcements and reducing the timer to 2 min was a huge hit !

Learn how to def tag ? Or attack an AI fleet near you at max range if you see enemy is much faster in OS ? I actually think it may be better to reduce it even more. 1:30sh... more smaller random pvp battles - better

In Potbs(pirates of the burning sea) you get similar medals for pvp kills, and you buy best ships with it. It makes pvp more rewarding. You can get the ship both ways(pvp or pve), its just that you will do it faster if u pvp. My point was that in a whole nation(big one) no one could supply this specific ship built ins for a long period. But if you look for live oak/str/speed or oak or teak variation, you can find it with ease! Why ? Cause ppl dont pvp enough and require ships for pve.

2 of them .. for the regular slots i dont mind 4 or 5. Its 25% chance to get it... And dont you want things to even out a bit ? I mean different play styles ? Why crafting should be rewarded highest ? Atm crafting>fleeting/xp> pvping.. in terms of income. Imo, the time spent for hunting or chasing someone in battle is way too much for its reward ;/ I exclude full DW port battles.. but since PBs number will be greatly reduced with the next patch.. at least boost OS pvp somehow ?

Ohhhhhh.. what xp2 ..!? mark of victory is an item you get for kills/assists so you can trade it for a certificate. Once you spend it, you dont have it anymore. Its more like gold. Man.. you never played potbs ? You buy the best stuff with pvp currency which ofc can be exchanged for gold or anything... And I have 1st rate, 2nd too.. i just dont like to use them in OS. to NoshipSailsForever.. I know that already, and i propose to cover the mats for the failed ones, or buy and sell them.. etc .. I even offered to Trade My gold live oak/speed 3/5 Pavel for such Connie ;/ Still finally today I found a guy that is willing to make the efford. Sadly, he was not even from my "nation" Now he is.

Good.. then can you tell me why I cant find a gold-fir/str/speed 3/4 or 3/5 Consti for nearly a month ? Believe me.. I can afford to buy it. Im offering 2x its market price. People were complaining about HAVING to do something they dont WANT to ... tell me then why I HAVE to grind/trade so I can pvp ? Do you know what happens when you start doing it constantly in OS ? Your income goes to .... You are forced to camp newbs near capitols, so you can use their 1 dura live oak/stiff stuff. Now put some gold upgrades if u want Tell me.. how to you get a 1st rate ? Pray for a Brit to come around so you can cap it?
