Hethwill, the Red Duke

It is a infant mechanic indeed. Thing is, if too many limitations it kills the purpose. Same thing with people avoiding PvP... and they know, they know... that PvP awards more hostility points.

The zone was not at 0%, IIRC was around 30%. The war supplies bumped it to 98%. I think there is a lot of odd information surrounding this issue.

Jolly, this is a role play thread. Can we keep it like that ? No ill feelings sir.

A most well conducted business as always Don Inocencio. You are justly the representative of holy justice in this heathen west indies and I wouldn't expect less a punishment that spending a full week under the care of the Sisters. After all, word is that due to the recent reestablishment of the Spanish Vice-Royalties due to divine development intervention, we must look to our own motives once more. I do ask for your understanding and to bridge any ill feelings in a similar matter. Under the patronage of your most faithful allies, the Northern Alliance, I been conducting myself into intercepting smuggling operations in North Carolina as much as some of your compatriots do. A certain day, not long ago, a battle was initiated at large from the trade port of Little River in which I found myself, along with a consort ship, facing overwhelming Yankee odds. In that same battle was a most excellent representative of the Spanish Navy, captain Petrus if i'm not mistaken. ( I must interrupt the line of thought here and point out that the referred captain resorts to the devilish and unholy practice of using AI as a fleet which can help the said captain in times of need but also diminishes his reputation in the eyes of many captains in the alliance ). Given there was no chance to save ourselves by any length we did "sell", and quoting myself, "the Spaniard" for our salvation to which the Yankee Navy captains acquiesced. Hence we saved ourselves and proceeded to continue our work. We do not seek forgiveness but just to clarify that there was no ill intent, just a clear conscience of a bargain struck to save myself from such impossible odds.

In a situation like - Enemy - the enabling of a PB should immediately trigger the - War - status.

You attending ?

Could you board/transfer crew to his surrendered ship ?

Timer to join the PBs has to be increased then or else no one will arrive in time to a PB.

While the PvP / Missions are somewhat visible the War Supplies ruse is under the veil, somewhat like arms being smuggled into the territory. Kind of reminds the French influx of arms and cash to the 13 colonies in one big go.

ArmoredKorps, It is stated on the thread opening topic. I simply pointed out that the Development teams is extremely receptive to community projects.

You may setup a new Tournament, organize it, find volunteers, and all of that jazz and present it to the community for a greenlight, right ?

Was community driven, player driven. The communication system we use is the forum. We off topic though, maybe we can initiate a new thread on Events and design a new one ?

While it seems an interesting idea why would war supplies be treated differently from a 25 ships fleets killing all OW fleets, including the regional big one, and doing exactly the same ? I like the idea of it becoming an event but at the same time dislike that we have to treat it differently from combat. After all some like combat and others like trading and hostility raise through war supplies is to traders what pvp/pve combat is to war captains.

I use both for somewhat different things. TS for focused game activities, say like a one game one clan. Quality is superb and Commander comms are excellent for some type of games. With a bit of imagination and planning it can be used for NA with no problems. Discord is essential for a multigame group of friends. Especially with the whole mIRC/chat type of thing. Can be at office and during coffee break have a chat with the squadron.

We even hinted at the Tournament all the time as being PvP One ! To make clear that was a community project from that server alone. I was hoping that by the end of the PvP1 tournament someone on Two would've setup one and even adjusting to any mistakes we've done, Texas. But I digress, Back on topic. ____________ Ship building changes - naval architects of the future. Question for the Devs regarding the system: - have alterations of existing ships been considered ? Example: I buy a new ship at a good price but say I want to change some characteristics.

That's no feedback Sir. It is blindness. If you refer to the Tournament prizes you will see teams from all over the place that received prizes including the ships you refer. If you refer to the Treasure events of the past you will see a lot of people got some of the ships you refer and more.

I voted 3 times to fit as much people as possible. 12:00, 18:00, 23:00

The wow factor would wane away imo. Let's say a Paint or Flag is awarded for something nice, like beating overwhelming odds. If anyone has access to it via store it loses its glamour. And instead of doubling the work, by making common store items and then the special ones separate, the focus on them being awards could benefit everyone despite their playstyle - trader, ship architect, sea rover, etc Just my 5 dolla'

Surrenders grant hostility if they are counted as a kill, but a player has to inflict damage to gain a kill. Well, enemy at least loses a ship durability if it serves of any consolation. It will be a durability contest if your opponents keep doing it I guess.

Odd. IIRC the points get check every half an hour. Can you verify in that time cycle ?

Battle #4 - Oceanic privateer [swe][pvp.1] A gallant exchange of humorous in global ends with the fellow showing up on my starboard vector. He thought I was at La Orchila for some reason. Wrong. - "Look to yer portside!" - I says before initiating the attack. Trade Raid #3 - Oceanic privateer [swe][pvp.1] Cruising on the south seas and came across a trader struggling upwind towards Willemstad. To station men ! Let's get us a prize.

I would much more enjoy community work in designing self run events that can be, eventually prized with interesting rewards. e.g. Fellvreds small battles league, pvp one tournament, etc

Ah yes, because of people hiding from PvP, that's where Supplies enter ? By the way the 100k values were figurative.

Will find the crafters and beg for a special one

Not sure Twig. I had the impression it would be a ship of that model but hey if it is the BP i'll make sure to contact the crafters and try to by favours and all of that . Will review the thread myself.
