Hethwill, the Red Duke

Introduce Portugal / as a new option or at the expense of one existing one. Make Portugal an historical ally of Great Britain. I don't dislike the system as you present, but not a fan of player made alliances as well.

Test, find bugs, report. Simple. The more a bug benefits you the more reason to report it asap to see it fixed. That's how many early access players act. Guess striving to follow the good examples is always better than willing to follow the bad, because you will be as good as the good but, oh boy, you will become worse than the baddies. So keep testing, keep reporting.

I am thinking ahead and closing all doors to some altmeta abuse. Both in OW pvp and in Hostility drive; which seem to be the flavour of the month.

Simple dirty fix IMO is - only the initial nations can join the battles in the OW. Any Hostility versus Neutrals, enemy nations can only join neutrals of course. Simple dirty and proper.

Yes.

That will be a reality. Given all start from Midshipman, what you do from that time onwards is your own doing. Can't expect everyone to have the same lifestyle nor the same hobby time. If a player does the Exams, post release, in the first couple hours,...well he/she does. By doing so the crew numbers, hercules and repairs and some cash are the same for everyone. So everyone can have a go at it immediately...

Player could and would man Martello towers and in two test phases, on one they didn't even have to board the towers. But later they had to board. And yes they could turn the 6 42 pounder guns and fire them.

The museum models and paintings of her wrecking show the star quite consistently. Is not a soviet star. Is a star. Just a star.

You are the one expected to behave in the first place the very first minute you enter the forum. There's no need for any proof. You break rules of communicating with others, you get warned. You keep breaking rules you get invited outside. Carry on participating in the forum with good spirit and clean language and everything will be perfect. Friendly warning.

Stop making assumptions and saying lies. Discipline moderation is delivered by type of speech used, words. Not ideas. How you say it gets you muted, not what you say. Now stop spreading lies and try to follow the rules and you will NEVER EVER get warned let alone banned. Consider this post a warning btw.

exactly why imo all must go ( either wiped or removed entirely or 100% available in admiralty). either is difficult for all at d-day, or none at all and everyone is wiped but access them all in admiralties.

How low must you go to "impersonate" known players by using their names as steam handles... What a bunch of "peasants"...

*yawn* If i'm a US fellow i'll pay 69 dollah for a certain product. But if i'm a certain EU country i'll pay 69 euro ( 69 euro is NOT 69 dollah "my dude" ). And actually will pay less in rubles, 45 if i'm not mistaken. The only thing complicated is your attitude towards prices in other countries for the same product. The only thing complicated is also - you either want and can, or you want and cannot. And that is on you. No one else, let alone Steam international transaction departments.

Read what I wrote. Steam, Gog, Epic, etc regulationes per country and the country where you live in and the taxes you pay for products reflect end price. Read what I wrote, not what you want reality to be. In some countries 2/3 of the price of a steam product is tax.

I advise you to check Steam policies and taxes per country before making 1:1 comparisons. It is the same with ALL steam games, with ALL EpicGameStore games, with ALL Slitherine games, with ALL GoG games...and so on.

Movie Maker as stand alone disappeared but you got the same through Story Remix in Photos app. Just to add to the options presented.

Thanks for bringing this up Jodgi.

Mahogany/Mahogany, no books, basic quadrant(3% speed) module only. loaded with 50 repairs of each, hull and rig, 100 total, and 100 rum and can do 13.30 knots with full longs ( no swivels ); 7 knots at fighting sails ( battle sails ) at beam reach. Starting a evolution through wind, still had 10 knots when close hauling at 35º degrees then it suddenly dropped. Was a good tack through the eye of the wind with minimal sternway, felt fairly good ( better than the exagerated sternway of other models ) BUT the inversal of rudder felt odd ( same effect as all other ships). Acceleration is fast ( same as all other ships ) and can reach top speeds really fast ( same as all other ships ). Note: we are playing with 4x acceleration when compared to P.9 ( we are in P30 ). But this is not related to Pandora, just a sidenote. ( thx Jodgi and royal speed trials society for the info ) She will be raider. Not a fighter. Has little staying power versus a heavier frigate. Will not be a meta ship for combat, but will be a fine trade raider. 100 BR feels short. The model itself is beautiful with the entire rigging and all the details. The original painting and the textures "grain" are great.

Not defending it. I'm saying anyone is free to do whatever they want with their cash. The opposite is more true, some seem pissed that someone else might have the cash and actually spend it because they want and they can... Gimme a break ...!

Yep. That's right. When i talk hobby i talk about everything hobby. NA is just one of it. But I get what you mean. I spend more cash in other hobbies than on PC stuff, but totally get the players of some games that spent thousands on gaming assets. All because they can and have that cash to spare, not because they must have this or that ship.

Not touchy at all, unless you read what i write with your mindset, which i must say that's the main issue. If you don't have the spare cash to spend on NA hobby then you don't. As simply as that. And honest answers were given. Maybe not what was expected, but then same as with disposable income, only you can manage those, cash and expectations.
