    If the Dreadnought approach of cosmetics is used in a similar fashion I would definitely support it. Finally a game which has weathering modeled on and looks absolutely great. Still, being a old fart, I tremendously dislike the F2P models. Rather pay up front and support DLCs/Expansions even if only cosmetic packs.

    Technically a pirate can join any other nation, so hit me up for a schooner slot.

    Actually... I like how they work. Have quite a streamlined process that we often do not see in persistent multiplayer games. So far have seen nothing that got out of hand during the testing. We are given maximized assets and extremely profitable activities to fill our needs to make and break the exploits and bugs and look from outside what is really broken instead of being tied to just a facet of the game and being blinded.

    Yes aj, I like it. Was running all the schooners yesterday ( finally had the time ) some with staying and other with studding and something's afoot. Can hold a better turn about into wind and then tack through with the studding setup than the same manoeuvre with the staying sail. Respectively the staying sails were on a privateer and studding on a pickle. Found out that being ironed on a Yacht is hell. Doesn't have enough push back to reverse the turn, was a *grrr* funny moment. Well, still new dynamics so will keep playing with them and definitely worth testing properly great great changes.

    More simulator. Less gamey. True naval officer career gimmicks. True pirate gimmicks. Ironman mode.

    Too many crew IF the money has to be shared equally by all crewmen ( upon returning to port ), which is indeed the proper thing to do. But, on the sense of being a highly successful captain, crew allowance will increase greatly thus giving a chance to crew biggers ships, hence having to make more money to share , equally, amongst the crew... ... which might not be enough and thus crew allowance decreasing. Rinse and repeat. Pirate life for me

    Make it 500 BR, 3 ships mandatory. Opens way to ALL rates and forces a team to play with a full deck.

    Very few are looking for a solution because too many want to keep their empty banter going. Let's drop another troll log; - You want to fight full port battles or not ? There no half arse answer to that, it is either a yes or a not. Majority of port battle conquest are empty battles. Majority of OW PvP is asymmetric numbers/BR. It is exactly the same disease, just different symptoms.

    Said Aye but would definitely would like the second mast camera snap to be solved and then I could do away with the transparent masts as the camera angle is perfect.

    Triple Timers. Set 1 timer and system propagates for 0h, 6h, 12h, timezones. everyone can play. More fun to everyone.
  13. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Timer meta and avoid battle meta ( take port if BR is overwhelming or empty, retreat if opposed ) is the norm. It makes for a lot of jokes in the free ports taverns and brothels.

    Was testing it and it is really that way, but there is something ( have yet to determine ) with the sustained upwind speeds for square rigs, Surprise, Trinc, mainly. Or maybe it can be Staysails that are provoking some odd behaviour.

    ...​ wonder if they are going to procclaim yer hangin' anyway. Nice piece of bucaneering writing.
  16. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Yes. Make decisions count. Open worls presents all the options. Up to the player to make the best of them. Can't play them all. Are you a Navy captain or a successful Trading Company Captain ?
  17. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    I disagree. I would actually make it worth to fight over territory for resources needed.
  18. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    The access to seats of Lords and Land owners will be tied to performance in battle. It will not be given to any clan or player. Knowing this what are you going to do ? Sit and whine or fight and get your right to vote ?

    Starting positions: - each nation starts with Capital and a cluster of 4 additional ports. - Pirates start with all free ports as outposts, no towns, no capital.
  20. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    too much help will mean the death of: - having to explore an area - learning the landmarks to help navigation It promotes: - afk sailing by point and forget - not paying attention to horizon, getting jumped and then asking for mechanics to cover their whiny decks ​
  21. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Not talking about you. Talking about them !!! Yarr they know whom they yarr... grrrrreeedy dastards LH cannot be quantified. IIRC each nation has a different measure. And each customer can pay a share with LH, so keep it simple
  22. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Yes..erm...no. Teleport for traders *not found*
  23. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    That solution is going to affect everyone and not only the supposed "BS campers". Nope. Not ideal.

    Damn Skully, you killing the "poor crafters" now. "Oh no, we cannot make a decent living!" 500% profit margin is barely enough to scrap a slice of bread.
