Hmmmm, server is PVE, that's all I can tell you. I didn't think it was wise to start learning the game on a PVP server, expecially considering how terrible I apparently am at this game... I just have the normal startership, unchanged. Every time I get killed, which is about once or twice an hour, I just get a new free Basic Cutter and take it to sea without adjusting anything. I have once tried 6 pounders instead of the standard 4 pounders, but I didn't notice any difference whatsoever.

Thank you all for your comments. I did as suggested and skipped the tutorials. But even so, I just get raped by everyone I fight. I am trying missions in my starter ship and even lynx traders utterly destroy me without me denting them much at all... I ask again, what am I doing wrong?

I have purchased naval Action when it just came out. I have not played it since then because it initially was too rough for my taste, but decided to give it another try. However I could not even get past the first "exam" in the tutorial section. I feel the AI is favored too heavily, it starts with guns loaded, loads in about half the time I need to reload and appears it has a 'headshot mod' installed. I have tried many times to get past this 'exam' but one of two things happens, either I am killed or the game leaves the battle unannounced with the AI target always having at least 90% armor intact on all sides. So either the AI target is overpowered, or the tutorial is dong a really poor job in tutoring... What am I doing wrong?
