edit, too slow

You do not get a notification that hostility is being rasied. Best to check the map every now and then. (Hostility missions are open for the whole time so you can jump it if you see an enemy raising hostility in your ports area.) After Server maintenance time, which should be at around 09.00 - 10.00 server time It turns counter-clockwise (slowly though; cant remember the time it takes for one 360° wind turn) You should be able to craft the heavy rattlesnake regularly (might have to get a Blue Print and Permit for it first from the admiralty shop though; not sure if the h-rattler is an admiratly ship.) Generally the biggest crafting hubs with the biggest market (supply and demand) are the capital ports. The new nations which start off without a capital have to get their own base. Usually its one or two ports where all the big busines happens. Yes, due to ability of repairing every 12 minutes, it comes down to kiting / running a lot. (Little tip: When you press the HOME key once, you get into the free cam mode. Sail to the ship of which you want to check the speed, and press the HOME key again, free cam will now kind of lock with your ships speed. that way you can check if you are faster / slower, and can judge if its worth it to chase / run).

When you are about to enter the safe zone ..

I agree.

Bouncing shots by angling used to be pretty much non existant in sea trials (from what I have seen)

I could tag 2 surps vs my 1 before (280 v 140) and im pretty sure i could have tagged more, even a lone 1st rate 650 br.

I dont think thats how it works; it used to be max 5x BR you can attack, but since they added the exponential curve in BR needed to attack bigger fleets I'm not sure anymore

I believe somewhere admin mentionned ship names was not doable because then they would have to give every ship an unique ID, not sure if thats the exact reasonning, but something similar. AFAIK they do have plans to make ship paints permanent, as in once you got one, you can always use it on the said ship. Basically a DLC (I would pay for DLC paints to choose from a dropdown list ) Not sure on sail color, i had the thought aswell some time ago, but after all it seems kinda arcadey for what this game is supposed to ressemble. Clan flags could be nice.

ops

nvm

So EU based clans would set the timers to something like 17.00 - 23.00 current server time (and NA based clans vice versa). Wouldnt change much i think. Unless we get a distribution of both time zones players to all nations I dont see any solution work.

Sail damage is dynamic so if you damage the square sails while not scratching the staysails / bowsprit, there should not be much of a difference when sailing upwind

Me too

Your fleetships dont add to the tagging-BR value of your ship. Also.. #NoFleets (except traders)

I tried to tag a player wapen with two other players (frig and reno) in tag circle, while in my surprise.. BR too low.. luckily the wapen tagged me when my tag failed.

[ALOHA 1] vs [HRE 1] https://www.twitch.tv/videos/201507109

I stream? O.o (besides the tournament )

Does not even need to be an alt to farm pvp marks. you can do the same farming with friends (legit players) in other nations. I just think make pvp rewards all visual, let exploiters get their paint if they really want to. (But they should also not be surprised when their account gets wiped if logs show a clear pattern of sinking the same guy over a few days over and over again).

As you might have noticed I'm not the best commentator, so yeah - if there are other volunteers regarding streaming / recording or just joining the lobby for some commentating, let me know.

Can we please have this thread focussed on the actual results; move discussions about rules for furhter tournaments to a different thread

Would be funny (maybe for na legends) to have a game mode without any auto skipper - you want to have a decent speed after turning? Better turn those yards back in the day you didnt have a machine automatically adjusting the rigging for best results

Already made a playlist aswell, can see it on my channel Uploading battles to youtube over time

[ALOHA] vs [PoDW]

Seeing that the group stage battles of the current tournament are starting to happen more regularly now, we could already think about the next tournament type, plan ahead What would YOU like to see / participate in? Please vote. Options 1 vs 1 Possibly a "best of three" with 3 different ships (for the knockout stage at least) ? 2 vs 2 3 vs 3 4 vs 4 Fix amount of BR, teams can bring as many players as they want to fill the BR (à la Port Battle) Other? Maybe next time we could get some gifts from @admin for the winners, in terms of paints (given some paints have recently given out for 'testing')
