Less PVP...more PVE....

Concur that AI ships should be competent enough to NOT fire torpedoes through a friendly. This should not apply to the player, however. In addition, if an AI ship fires torpedoes and THEN the player decides to alter through the spread...that's okay too.

Why?

The main purpose in scuttling a ship is for when the wife says "get off the @#$%^&! computer!" Because it's still a game. Sure, why not? But again, that could be part of the simulation. The game says "you have successfully captured the Ark Royal", and you get some nice bonus (or a great graphic). It's up to the Devs if you actually end up with another ship in your dock.

The best way to scuttle a ship if you're not sinking it from external sources, is with explosives internally (I know how to do this). You're quite right that opening a few cocks would take FOREVER. However, this is a game and we can simulate a scuttle function with one click. The fact that you CAN scuttle a ship in RL means that we should be able to do it in game. The vector doesn't really matter unless Devs want to get into fancy coding.

Love it! If you woke up with a massive hangover, a tattoo and a wedding ring....perhaps the young lady's family is out joyriding in it....

We have 3 cases in Nova Scotia and the province is shut down. Only a few (including me) are going to work.

Base game is a good start and best to begin on the PVE server to learn a few things. Ask lots of questions...PVP is brutal on new comers.

All y'all need to get over to Naval Action and kill somebody while you're waiting...

I kinda like Loki. Twice now, I've been grinding slots against AI and ended up with PVP kills. I don't enjoy using the rune...so I don't.

No, please keep posting medical advice on this forum. It is my only source of information and I follow all advice! (cough....)

Because a gathering of under 100 people cannot infect each other??

Don't let her come home....She's a potential plague carrier...

Yes, I can see that it will cost the loser, but what does the winner gain? If there is no value in crafting ships in a capturable port (IE: Port Bonuses), then everyone will craft in an uncapturable port.

This is already the case. I'm not sure I understand your OP, though. Do you wish no port bonuses at all for crafting and just have a perk tree to get bonuses? I like that as I am not so big on RVR. The issue is the RVR, though. RVR has to accomplish something and it is a big part of many player's game. With your suggestion, what will be the reason to take ports/
