That's the limit. 30 minutes, max 2 ports away as per Admin post the other day. During flag tests it was increased to 10 (?) or something like that.

Think Clan first. Nation second. My 2 cents.

Can be done. Didn't say it is a cakewalk. I advise you to do it how you can. And a nation with 8 players CAN do flags and PBs. Clan of 8 plans for Conquest with 8. With so many argumentation against an obvious acceptable system ( not saying perfect by all means! ) and you guys using a crowbar to open a precision clock. I don't get it... i wonder if there's more to your words...that you'd like to share ? Like being cold and bloody honest about what you really want to say instead of just quoting others.

Seriously better play Peace server now and then. Is very cool and totally different, very relaxing "single player". HDF don't aggro anyone.

Takes 4 players for a HDF. Most clans do with 6. All nations with 5 players can HDF for flags and try plant it in a 3k port battle. When small, think small.

@DonH

That's the beauty of memes

They can. PvP Hunt Missions do have wooden chests in addition to other chests as reward. Not all do but you will find PvP Hunt missions that do. So... you go for chests if you want AND now you WILL go for the flags.

Thank you @admin I wish the new system is a blast. Stick true to your vision, make it happen. It will take a bit of time to get used to but it might actually work. Question: weight of flag item ? Question: 1 flag per HDF ? Question: what if player leaves clan, do flags bonded to him/her disappear ? further... Anything that promotes difficulty and extreme discomfort in meta gaming with alts cross nations is welcome. Very welcome. Honest players ( with 1 account, or with 2 or more BUT in same nation same clan ) do not see any problem with it. Obviously the usual suspects will cry and whine, but that's already a given. Nothing your team hasn't seen for years.

Stable gunnery platform. Heeling is not a friend of the gunners. They like it steady and without roll.

Ships are to be used. If I want dock space the obsolete ones will have to go. And will have to go down fighting. I love my veffels. Every single one of them. That's why I use them to the very last drop of water into the hold.

I think Puchu idea, and looking back to the origin of the "duel" that the aim of the practice is position and gunnery rather than rush and smashers or crash and board. Is not about winning meta, but refined victory. That's how i read it.

Been throwing mine into battle. Getting some XP, reals and doubloons, medals and chests for mission, as the pay off until they sink. 5 gone, 10 to go

Please refrain from argumentation of War Server versus Peace Server. We all Naval Action captains in our own right.

Maybe i'm wrong but i interpret the new woods as not being "ease of access" or "increased supply". Plain woods being extremely easy and abundant, seasoned being fairly difficult albeit abundant, new woods being rare and hard to come by. While it is true about the port camping, how can you camp a port where in the next maintenance there might be no drop ? This coming from suggestions pointing to no fixed ports dropping them but different random ports every day. Granted, more sailing for all accounts, alts or not. More risk to all accounts, alts or not, given the ships might get intercepted. But being intercepted means no loss, just that the woods been acquired by the enemy by different means.

Many players do not use fir for that reason, because they want to fight. hint...hint...

If all players have the same mechanic, the alt is just another player you are right. There's nothing to hinder them. No contracts and spawning at different ports every day or so is equal chance of opportunity for all nations, all players.

Is working as per today's maintenance.

any mechanic that is not a guaranteed quantity drop, be hostage to contracts and permanent location.

Entered a Kill mission. Ship model still visible for a bit.

@admin Pass the stress test I am presuming and with high hopes that all the non used Conquest chests to be wiped and all unused test flags to be wiped as well. Just to avoid situation of Conquest chest hoarding, for example. And even Flag hoarding. Before new system even starts. And then render it all a mess because some fellows just amassed them to "loophole" the necessity to go hunt for flags when system is up.

Port Battle order of battle in relation to Port Owner clan and friendly clans & Port Attacker and friendly clans right now an owner/attacker clan is just a entity. It may or not send ships to battle and rely entirely on friendly clans while retaining the power over the port. --------------------------------- Proposal is about having a order of battle for both Port Battle sides, whether the clan is defending a port it owns or being the attacker clan in a Conquest. Port Owner MUST participate with at least 50% of ships/BR for the Port Battle. Friendly clans may participate with the rest. Port Attacking clan MUST participate with at least 50% of ships/BR for the Port Battle. Friendly clans may participate with the rest. example: some clan attacks a port. for each 1 ship/BR they add to the battle, the friend clans can add 1. Same with defense, allies will add 1 ship/BR to the battle for each one that the port owner adds to the battle. So for a battle with 10 ships/BR there will be 5 of the main Clan and 5 of friendly clans. --------------------------------- This provokes intention of action and protects genuine clans from false ones ( false in the sense of being just a name with little force and simply wanting to control/deny a port to its own nation aka. meta alt clan )
