Hethwill, the Red Duke

Graphically they could have a larger dot in the map also.

Define very riskily voyage

If Traders, LGV and Indiaman and all trader like classed ships are exempt it is okay. If not it will pile in with Hammocks and all the rest and any trader ship will become a nightmare and abused as a prime boarder.

And opens a exploit pandora box, pretty much the opposite of farm damage

Exactly my point. The whole "pirate" or "this nation" or "that nation" mechanics must not be thought of and idealized sterile. The mechanics that rule a nation will also rule another nation, different results maybe but origin in the same set piece. As Nations have non historically credible setups the Pirates also do. Game rules say so. But the same mechanic can be switched to different results coming from the same set of rules. Let's take crew management. Nations order them from Admiralty from a national pool. Pirates do not use a national pool but rather individual Reputation ( usually amount of loot and time alive ) to increase or lose crew available. Same mechanics different results in gameplay. We can think mechanics for Pirates that go beyond the limited scope we have at the moment and can sacrifice historical credibility ( the game can field a big number of pirates active in the providence grounds against the historical 100 or so registered ) and ensure space for gameplay population. I always vote for more challenge and steep curves against easy going boring methods, as long as the setups are enticing and original. Cheers.

Hopefully someone from the PvP3 migration can and will effectivelly confirm this

IIRC the gold equivalent is redeemed (?)

Teleport to Capital was intended when you get stuck, as stuck in geometry It was somewhat not intended to what it ended to be used for. And it horribly focuses populations around capitals instead of having communities move to regional capitals. That's my take on it.

Run Full Screen OFF (window) mode.

Lynx is slightly faster than Trader Lynx if exactly same built even with guns.

"Those about to get ganked we salute you !"...o...m...g.... ggggaaaaaanguebbbbbbaaaaangue

Roger, didn't think through. My bad.

You can teleport with cannon and carronades.

I've proposed this a while ago but without going to lengths. Simply make cannons craftable and add Foundries and all that while completely reducing the NPC production step by step - atm we have stocks by the thousands and tens of thousands... I completely cannot understand the non trader vs trader and disregarding the carriages doesn't make them the same. They are actually very different ships with different structural strengths, just happen to same similar name and looks.

The "Teleport to Capital" exists to get any player unstuck from a bad situation, like being stranded in a far away land. Other than that keep a Outpost slot open to cover emergencies when going into enemy territory without any nearby outpost. I do not see any need to change the current system.

Not really and two things would help out a lot, even if I do not sail IRL. 1. Jib power/depower control dettached from the rest 2. One more step of sail with only courses and mizzen and no staysails up ( if it makes any sense for a age of sail combat ship )

Old old... *wink* Can do the same with all cannon models from every town *wink*

Seems I must pay a visit then. Now what to wear...hmmm...not a noose that's for sure...

It comes to my own attention, as humble as it is for I am not a keen eye for arts but rather the bones, the crossed ones, and the plump mass around them bonés, the flesh, the touchy touchy stuff, catch more than my eye and as such I must confide that the Office needs to hire a new artisan painter, seemingly the one under servisse doesn't seem to capture the feminine lines so well as he captured the efeminate ones... I wonder if it is a Genoese painter ? Maybe a Florentine ? Can't believe a Galician or a Aragonese painter would be of such disregard for the canvas and paint such ladies, as my painting attests, in abhorrent forms. Please disregard such paintings. It will lead you to...hmmm..wrong conclusions.

Wow... it it isn't that one of the sisters... damn I am hard with names.... that jumped from the convent walls and took a swim and ...er... boarded my ship...!

Yay !!! The thread is back to life

Hehe You can always place a bounty yourself.

Or can just sink the prize. Decisions will be made. Many of them will not be the correct ones.

They might also mistake it ( i've seen a few ) to where they should point for best wind.

I find some streams later in the evening and early night, some night shift EU and evening US. Plus Twitch is not the only one service
