Yes, they were, right in the middle of EU prime time. Especially back when KIN was active,

East coast US players interacted frequently with EU players of PVP1, not just through economics. In GB we had about 50% US players in some of our EU prime time port battles. If this wasn't the case, then the 'dayflip' response to nightflips wouldn't have been a thing.

SOB became KIN on PVP1, which then merged into ZERG. I recommend waiting until after the wipe, picking either the Global or EU server based on your preference, then asking around in national chat or ts to see how the new clans form up.

Right, so I think he means you send your alt in on the enemy side, so it's contested and you get the marks

Seems to be resolved now

It's a Steam error, the Steam Web API is offline. I'm having the same issue.

He's a new player trying to be helpful by giving his first impressions and suggestions, you don't have to be sarcastic with him.

I think you mean Alt + Enter ?

Aha, makes more sense, thanks

Resources from capped traders are far too low in my opinion; 10 hemp from a trader snow and 10 coal from an LGV. That doesn't cover the crew costs to cap them.

It would be much better if the Hull Repairs slider only went up to the max useful number of repairs you could use, not the entire number of repairs you have in your hold. Also, it's not possible to use a medkit in port?

On the subject of marketing, there is currently an ad on Google for Naval Action, I've never seen it before. It says: "Captains wanted for ultimate age of sail experience! Enlist today! Capture Ports · Be A Pirate · Trade Goods"

Just regarding your comment that 200 ping is unplayable: Since the game was released on steam I have lived both on the east coast of the US and in Europe, and have played on both PVP1 and PVP2, so I've experienced pings from 50 to 900. I personally found that stern raking at 300 ping was manageable, once you got used to it, because it's fairly predictable when you have to fire. Lower pings were obviously easier, and at about 900 the game was basically unplayable in smaller ships (at my skill level anyway).

It's naive to think that this isn't spread evenly across the two alliances. Most players spend time chatting to the people they agree with from their own alliance, and only the most outspoken members of the other alliance, such is the nature of a forum. There has been plenty of name calling in the other direction. Insulting, trolling and exploiting is done by individual players, there's no reason why they wouldn't be evenly distributed across the nations.

An excellent video, very enjoyable. Thanks for all your effort making videos in general, looking forward to the milestone of 50 episodes of A Letter to the King. I think a purchase of Naval Action should come with a small weight to put on the m key during port battles.
