Rigs

You read my mind, on that respect I would recommend using long guns, double charge perk and any + penetration mod/book. Great Job Jodgi! Very thoughtful and masterfully done.

Wut?

There are also the red areas which increase in size based on the PvP/hostility.

The undeniable truth is that we will have to figure out how to fit everyone on one server while creating visible hot spots for PvP.. I think some are familiar with the POTBS system, while they failed on other aspects, I think they nailed it on that respect. Just some food for thought. http://potbs.wikia.com/wiki/Sea_combat

They have the same turn rate percentage but different acceleration. Turn rate percentage is only one variable contributing to how fast a ship turns.

Very simple, to feed the capital waters gankers, you are the added content for them.

If you are then accept the reality, act like that and you will never find out more OW PvP Case closed

That attitude man, not very good advertising for any kinds of activities... We should make a poster saying, do OW PvP if you want to end up like that guy.

I completely agree, the lineships need a buff and not the other way around. It's a fact that Lineships punish mistakes exponentially more than small ships and how many Prince's I can make for the price of a lineship? Skill and Risk vs. rewards? Why would anyone even use a lineship anymore?

I think that post was referring to the outlaw feature that is still in game and admin will just enable it for the tournament only.

I'm wondering at this point in time, no more outlaw battles, so how about adding for everyone a duel and/or skirmish feature? It could be used for tournaments, fight practice and to test the ships/setups. Just an idea.

Also some know better not to spam it to catch attention. Like mentioned before you cannot patch human nature so we need to be careful about those PvP rewards. Arguably, it's potentially easier to get the PvP marks than PvE marks. Naval hull refit - 15 PvP marks in store. Copper plating - very low chance drop in PvE. Based on the same concept copper plating should be in store for combat marks.

Based on my calculations looks like teak/teak vs. fir/fir

Lack of repairs vs. having repairs it's also a problem. That seems to me a PvE ship. Also, never turn a bigger ship upwind in general more so against a smaller ship. In this instance Buc should point that ship at 135 deg. (90-120 deg no good) and Prince would not even keep up, get some distance and pound away from there, rinse lather repeat. Just some thoughts.

Keep in mind that the turn rate modifiers will also increase the turn rate gap between them too. Just a hint, turn rate it's only one of the variables involved on how fast a ship turns, meaning the size of the circle mentioned by Texas above. Wapen it's comparable to a 5th rate in that respect. I have heard stories of carro Wapen SOL killers It would love to see Wapen getting a 0.36 knt speed increase.
