Moin Toralfo, erstmal hier Willkommen im Spiel zu deinen Fragen: Du suchst dir entweder "Kill Missionen" im Hafen über das Buch in der unteren Menüleiste, oder du greifst Schiffe an, indem du sie auf der OW (open world, also wo du umhersegelst) anklickst. Dann erscheint dort ein Kreis um sie rum, du musst sie so abfangen daß du in diesen Kreis kommst und kannst sie dann attakieren. Das geht allerdings nich mit Schiffen der eigenen Nation für die du spielst und auch nicht mit Spielern (auf dem PVE-server), auch ist die Auswahl an Schiffen bei denen du das Angreifen überleben würdest noch etwas gering mit dem Basic Cutter. das führt gleich zu deiner nächsten Frage, Schiffe kaufen kannst du im Hafen in der unteren Menüleiste, den Auktionshammer anklicken. Leider gibt es seit ein paar tagen dort einen Filter um dir die Schiffe, welche dort verfügbar sind, anzuzeigen, der erstmal "bedient werden möchte". Also Schiffsrang und Slots einstellen, bevor du Ergebnisse siehst. Einfacherer Weg: trete einem Clan bei, der sich freut einen Neuen unterstützen zu können. am besten im Nation Chat danach fragen. Clans beitreten geht nur in der selben Nation in der man spielt. Da du auf dem PVE-Server spielst kannst du auch gerne zu uns kommen, wir spielen in der spanischen Nation. (übrigens, daß dir hier erst so spät jemand antwortet, liegt daran, weil das Forum auf steam umgezogen ist, das hier ist zwar in Teilen noch nutzbar, allerdings schaut hier dann selten jemand rein)

Yes, i had the same impression. But i'm not sure whether these numbers are new or have been valid for a longer time. So there are many changes that have not yet been reflected in our impressions. Because some numbers say something different. Additional to this, some things may have changed with the new thickness-penetration ratio, especially the hull shape advantage for the ocean.

Actually i remembered that the santi had more firepower but the ocean was more stable, here in the game. ... and it was good and well balanced that way - nobody thought that anything need to be changed there. Now i compared these two and found that the santi has become better than the ocean in almost all areas, except for the 50 less crew. Has it been like this for a long time? And is it the intention to create a new meta ship? Also, it´s not historically accurate either, the santi had less displacement than the ocean despite a higher number of guns. Additional, the santi was also an example of a ship that was difficult to sail, whereas the ocean was known for its good sailing properties. - here in the game the opposite: santi higher turn rate and even less heel (and this is very unlikely with a ship built in height, in terms of weight) (however, i am not asking for historical accuracy, but for reasons of balancing)

a speedbuff was ok, from my point of view. or take back the last 7% speednerf. but 19% also seems a bit too much to me

"useless" is a bad word. let´s say it is inferior ... but it doesn't cost combat medals and you sometimes have it as loot

L'Ocean have a base thickness of 100. Live Oak/Sabicu (wood bonuses) are additional bonuses, do not count as part of the base thickness, which is the base for the calculation of the refit bonuses

how often would it be used? and it would be far more complex to program and insert into the game. Rather a simple solution which has a chance to be implemented than a complicated solution which probably will not come the code for the post battle screen should already be known, because we already had it in the game ... whereby if your solution will implemented, i would of course also be satisfied. i´m already that, because the new loot-mechanic makes it much easier and was clearly a step in the right direction

why so complicated? postbattle-screen that we had before and where the loot was automatically distributed according to kills, back and done if you want to give something to someone else or if you are overloaded afterwards, you can still trade, either on the open sea or in the port

until patch 10 we had a post-battle-screen, where the loot was automatically distributed after the battle. according to kills bring that back would solve all problems and annoyances, which exist with the lootmechanics ... anyway, I'm glad you are still working on it, thanks.

This, but from another sight .... why we shouldn´t get them? and that is one of the biggest issues here for me ... and seems for other too. ... especially when you consider that it has been solved better before

why not the endbattlescreen, which was gived up with patch 10? in a range combat game, where positioning, formations and such things play a role, and also long range combat is becoming more and more important, thanks to the new penetration values, the manual looting in the middle of a running battle is just a contradiction. ... i'm talking about fleetbattles here, with a 1v1 it's ok for me, because you can practically loot after the battle. but i don't know the new sailing mechanics

Thanks, but that will barely helpful in fleet battles.
