Updated Guys please keep offtopic discussion out of this thread

ok np, idea was to just get an overview of clans.. i can enter your clan in the list and link your forum thread, if you want.

Updated What about other clans such as [REDS], [VLTRA], [N], [BASTD], [HANSA], [BF], [NN], [KOTO], [HRE], [CABAL], [FENIX] ... ? Will you be recruiting? @Anolytic @Jorge @DesMoines @Grundgemunkey @Captain Reverse @Capt Jubal Early @Tac @Allons! @Licinio Chiavari @Captain Cid

Heya, Looking at the fact that release is about a week away, it might be handy to get an overview of the clans that are going to be playing post release and recuriting players. This thread would also serve for players (be it new ones or just coming back after a while) to see what's going on and perhaps join a clan. If you want your clan added to the list, drop a message below with your rough specs. Likewise post a message if you're looking for a clan.

Will there be a way to save our ingame name? So that a troll with 5 dozen alts cannot steal known player names.

well we did not have the numbers for that. GB is big et all but should be common knowledge now 50 - 75% of the numbers is alts/pve/trading oriented players So we had the choice either go for your screening fleet blockading the bay entrance and have a nice battle there - and get smashed outside, damaged, after that by your PB fleet and therefore not make it into the pb or go for a bad PB entrance up north decided for the latter, didnt work out, end of story

Was not an option as 20+ russians aswell as 10+ pirates were spotted patroling the southern part

We did but shoot it with 1st rates bur the fort didnt sem to care much

Fort HP seems to be a bit over the top now dont you think? Trying not to see this from a biased pov.

Possible exploits I think its fine as it is. When I cap a nice teak wo ship with some decent upgrades id value that over sinking it. And keep it.

ok so the HP factor would match I guess. but doesn't that also mean that the manouverability should be like 2.5 times as good on the surprise? turnrate 3.19 vs 4.01 - when it should be something like 2.0 vs 4.0?

VS That Endymion has 2.4 times the HP of the surprise (would be even more if Surprise was teak - WO aswell ; the wo/wo trim buffs its HP).. While being faster and having a way higher basemast thickness, and bigger guns, more crew aswell. A little bit unbalanced me thinks? Or should it be considered a given fact that endy wrecks the Surprise? I've also heard complaints about the Essex being next to useless now - not sure about that as I barely sail her. Are HP values fix now or are they still gonna be reworked?

So now its possible to disable survival in boarding. I think that needs to get rolled back, for obvious reasons.

Your best bet is to join a clan that helps you get going and shows you the ropes.

heya, quick suggestions regarding the patrol zone apply regular OW RoE to PZ. I think the fact that the patrol zone, a place where good and healthy PvP is supposed to happen, has the worst balanced RoE, is rather funny. Anything can join up to a certain amount of BR. So a battle e.g. 5v1 can still get enforced by even more ships on the side with 5... Making it regular OW RoE would eliminate that. increase the 30 minute timer to the length of a proper battle (60 - 90 min) therefore reduce circle-of-death growing rate make it so in the solo PZ, not only one specific rate counts towards the rewards (in Nassau PZ, only 6th rates count - you can duel in surps but won't get the rewards; same thing for e.g. tumbado, only 4th rate duels count. I dont see a reason for that.) can't see any negatives. cheers

Bad idea imho because: Forced alliances doesnt mean non allied nations cant hold together. If your nation is stuck with another one allied, but actually wants to fight it, that could lead to some awkward situation.

Heya all Ive been thinking. Would it be fine to orgainse, say, a 10 vs 10 frigate fleet battle in OW? I believe to have read somewhere that 2 duels between the same players per day is fine, but not more. But what about larger scale battles? Increased fun while gaining CMs and combat experience. (insert @ admin tag here, if it worked :p) If it is allowed, i would like to use this thread as some sort of "matchmaking" post where clans / nations can list what they would like to battle with, and when.

Should have made it a poll My vote is no for reasons stated above by others

Yeah this Will be a whole lot harder now to identify farming when it just takes 1 kill showing in combat news in return for 15-20+ actual kills counting I like the idea though, but seems difficult to implement. I suppose battles à la 15 v 1 would stand out in the OW though, and if they're joinable, proof should be obvious. Maybe punishment needs to be tougher.

crew of my surprise ingame

one of the few rare exceptions of an actual enjoyable battle in the PZ that is not 8 v 2
