    Okay then. Let us have it, drums and shout and merchant sailors screaming mercy With a On/Off switch in the options please, for us folk that can't be bothered with such afk contraptions.
  2. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    *yawn* Most of the pirates are Nation rebels. I'd call all this a civil war to be honest and it seems the loyalists are winning.
  3. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    It is all combined and not thought of independently. Any Pirate rework would be in pair with National Lordships, National Crew pool, etc. Just the crew alone, I believe, will be quite a balancer. Devs must stand firm on that one, it will make the difference between a great navy and a numerous navy.
  4. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    If you switch nation you lose the title. you will have to FIGHT for it again.
  5. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Sounds reasonable.
  6. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    hmmm ok, thought you'd test it in duel.
  7. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Thanks Jeheil for the acceleration tests. What model you used for this btw ?
  8. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    I don't assume nor do I use the GPS sites. I know. Do Maritime crews even have beat to quarters ? Are they Navy ? Honest question as the way I see it, when you are in a trader you are a merchant captain and when in a warship you are indeed a Navy captain.
  9. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Sure.
  10. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Lol, nice reply and straight to the point. Find it funny that many captains go hit PvE'rs in emeny waters but in turn leave their own unguarded. Such is the flow of National unity bahahahah
  11. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Yes please. Asset and Rank Wipe and then let's do it.
  12. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    ^^ that is probably the best. Add mass of cargo.
  13. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Would rather see a definite Navy versus Maritime crews setup that a crew quality sterile from what background they are, war or merchants crews, both with very very different qualities and will to fight.
  14. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Likewise, supporting no merge.
  15. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    YEEEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Same for Nations. You wouldn't be able to go Post Captain if refusing to fight even against some odds ( yes it happens all the time in NA), from the revolutionary and napoleonic wars, before and after Amiens, odds would be usually 1v2 BR, especially in the RN but also on the other navies depending on what the objectives for the squadron/ship would be. We might reach that point with Piracy rework along with Admiralty, who knows.
  17. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    That is correct and it is the combination that kills. Shattered timbers won't stop much
  18. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Armour =/= structure
  19. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Exactly. I do not forget. That's why we have nice AI at the moment. They can be challenging for a new player but not deadly unless it is a complete mishap. For savvy captains though the AI is nothing at all.
  20. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Nice. Yes, "if it gets through". I think it is a "language" thing and the way it gets "misinterpreted" as well. That's why it is excellent to test kudos for that. My wild guess, I do use grape all the time, is - Armour as per Teak/Planking/Extra planking is ignored. Wood thickness is still there, as the structural strength doesn't get vaporized.
  21. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    90 minutes... That's a trade run from Charleston to Kingston, or from Mortimer to Gustavia. Damn !!!!....
  22. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Ignores armour but not the structure. Aim the open decks please. Nice testing
  23. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    You have a serious issue with interpreting what is being said. Or maybe you are used to solving company issues with a crowbar in your line of business. You lost a ship durability ( and cargo if it applies). Enemy gets a ship as a prize and the cargo. You save crew and Officers and the XP for the fight. I hope Gold is awarded by victory/prize ( not damage ). Where is the punishment ?
  24. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Only thing I would touch would be the yard turning force/speed at all sails pre-determined setups, slow, battle, etc.
  25. Hethwill, the Red Duke
    Perfectly understand. I am okay with the options I have at the moment ( apart from the skynet ). But.... a review over Navy and Maritime crews, war and trade focuses, should improve the gameplay.
