"Very Agile"

funny little battle in the patrol zone

So we have to give up another valuable perk slot, just to get a chance to disengage from these 337 crew, marine boarding modded Requins? No, thanks

@Mustaparta @Blackjack Morgan I bet they would love to have a word on this too

I only did it for a couple of nights and didnt keep track of it But I would usually end up with 1 bottle on each char. after 8 hours. Sometimes only 5 out of 7, sometimes I got two on one char.

For a while I had 7 accounts afk fishing for bottles over night using a macro to keep them from being kicked for idling. But gpu and cpu being used to almost 100% capacity heated up my room too much so I stopped doing that lol. Is this they mean by sandbox and working ones ass off?

It will also affect the other captains placement, a lot of room for griefing example, Captain A gets to fight Captain B in a duel match; he knows he will probably lose and does not want to give him (Captain B ) a decent kill time - AKA. he runs away to intentionally grief and worsen up his placements I don't really agree that a ship MUST be lost if lost, in case of a tournament. This is not Open World. Maybe a fee to enter the tournament instead. But if you think so, then disabling upgrades and limiting repairs will probably have to be added. My general opinion on upgrades is that the regular mods you don't need any super rare pve-drop books for, are fine (e.g. Northern carpenter, French rig, ...). However, the Elite Versions, especially when combined with the regular ones, really make the difference. A 5/5 ship with elite french rig and Kirimati masts, in a duel, versus one without these, basically has an easy free win.

How did you get to the conlcusion that this is a good idea? Ship loss, using own ships with perhaps insane modded ships (elite upgrades, gold ships, ...), and big prizes Will lead to a lot of kiting, to not lose that one deluxe ship. Duel with pre set ships, same mods and equipment --> Based on skill, no excuses possible ("You only won because of better upgrades / because you had poods / ...), no kiting, pure fighting.

I went canoeing once and flipped myself. does that count?

Because most have probably given up, as have I. The patrol zones with their current RoE are utter trash. Always ends up the same way. Once you find a decent battle, 20 min into it a massive side joins (the enemies or yours) and ruins the fun. Thread created on march 29, and not even an answer as to why its not gonna happen.

Id like to test that, because I really dont think either ship can do much vs a decent herc captain You up for a test? You choose connie or lgv refit. Ill take the herc.

Do you smell that The smelly smell That smells Like a ban?

But tagging on the shore so enemy join circle is on land is a feature. Some selective feature management.

not chat related but still salty "right into the fucking wind, and im going almost 0 knots.. damn hackers". well.......

"Paints may come in february" Anyone remember?

Mods are getting reworked anyway Will be able to choose 1 upgrade from a pool E.g. gunnery: choose better accuracy, reload, penetration , ... - but can only have one

See, this is my problem with how they want to implement duels: Use your own ships with shiploss. That will lead to a ton of kiting in order to not lose that one Shiny Gold super modded duel ship. And people will claim succesful draws by running (dont think thats the Case in this duel here tho) Duel should be: 1:1 same conditions, same ships / upgrades, no ship loss. One winner. No draws.

Huh, just go inspect the ship and hit the sink button Surrendering doesnt deny marks, you get the option to keep the ship or sink it for marks. Just like boarding.

by that logic any other online game has to be played with others, else you're not playing it online..? why make such a hard restriction? playing solo in this game works perfectly if you wish to do so (true, in limited options compared to having the options of crafting lots of ships in a clan), but still

I hope we'll get buy contracts for ships with the new port UI. As it is more guessing what people might be looking for right now for crafters.

Wasn't the removal of choosable ship qualities in crafting (not RNG like now) done because everyone wanted to have gold and thus better stats anyway? If repairing reduces a ship's life, I'm pretty sure we will have a LOT more people runnin in battles, because.. they don't want to fight, thus possibly have to repair, and make their ship worse. A side effect though could be that only brand new ships are used for PBs (for obv. reasons, competetive aspect), and thus the "rest" are sold cheap to get rid off, and possibly be used elsewhere in OW PvP. Either could happen, but I don't like the general idea.

aka. ?

angled masts, more hp and it doesnt really care about losing one, so you'll need to get 2 at least. even then it can turn upwind pretty well basically the whole boat itself is a meme Memequin?

Privateer is way more easy to demast and sink, and it's more comparable to the cutter than the Requin
