F11 it as close as you can get, and then cancel the mission and get another one.

Rollbacks aren't currently possible. In a crash that does not involve the server itself (in the case yesterday, there was an issue with the provider - the servers remained up and running, however many people lost connection), it is not possible to roll back. Any rollback will cause someone to lose something (maybe 10 minutes earlier a different battle was in progress - you'd then inconvenience those players). In the future, perhaps code will be written to handle this situation, however, for now, it is early access, you can expect bugs, instability, and crashes. It's part of testing.

Is it possible to rename my ingame account to something else?
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Diilicious's topic in Support
Character renames aren't currently possible, unfortunately. If you have a trusted friend in the Danish nation, you could hand him/her your stuff/gold, delete, recreate, and then have them trade it back to you - other than losing outposts, you'd be right back where you were. -
Can you capture ships from missions?
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to gtf24's topic in Patch Feedback and General discussions
Yes. If you do more damage than your AI fleet, you should be granted the ship if you, in fact, captured it. -
In my experience, 99% of forumgoers don't actually read pinned topics prior to creating a thread. I think such a pin would just clutter up the more important pins and not provide much gain.

Hi there Mr. Teach. Right now, there is no forum where you can advertise specific in game services, buy/sell/trade ships, etc. The forums aren't set up for that just yet. For now, all posts involving advertisement of goods and services are hidden so that the Economy forum, which is intended for the Developers to receive player feedback, aren't spammed into oblivion by people trying to buy and sell things. Hold on for a bit and as soon as Admin has time, we'll see if maybe a server specific section of the forum can be created for these activities.

This case is under review by the Admiralty.

Inappropriate Chat Behaviour
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Quarios's topic in Tribunal - Трибунал
And I've provided an automated tool here: http://wiredstar.com/NAInsults This report is under review by the Admiralty. All Captains are reminded that they should not report chat violations in tribunal. Please right click the name of the offender in the chat box on each objectionable statement and click the "Report" button. This method of reporting will get results far, far faster than any post here. -
Port Governors
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to The Spud's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
Ports already have Governors - they're called Lord Protectors, and they're the guys/gals that put up money to go fight a port battle to win that port. I'd say the system is fine as is, though I'd like to see the ability for an LP to pass the LP role over to someone else if they so desired. -
green on green friendly gank attempt
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Lyteros's topic in Tribunal - Трибунал
There will be a fix to hot pirate on pirate action when it comes up in the to-do list I'm sure. It's not supposed to be that way, but for now it just is. Longer term, I'm not sure how to indicate which side you should join for pirates, there have been some pretty good suggestions in here though. -
I will add that the game has no "admins" - there are not moderators and admins. There are moderators, and then there is Admin (singular). Admin is the project lead - he's one guy. There are a few developers (they have a Developer tag on the left side) who have posted here in the past, but in general, they're busy making the game and it's Admin's job to relay information back and forth.

This is an unintended side-effect of code designed to protect players from server crashes. While it is not considered an exploit per-se at this time, I would encourage every player, in the spirit of honor that existed at that time, as well as in the spirit of fair play and good sportsmanship, to exit port battles that have been won/lost promptly before server downtime. Players who intentionally abuse this side-effect for personal gain could find themselves before the Admiralty explaining themselves. Please act accordingly. Thank you to SteelSandwich for pursuing this issue with the Developers and getting the community and answer. The problem will be looked at in good time.

green on green friendly gank attempt
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Lyteros's topic in Tribunal - Трибунал
To be fair, I believe there is a "bug" right now that puts all joining pirates in a pirate on pirate battle into the "defender" side. There's no real ability to select sides. -
As Maturin said, at least on the PvP server, missions were only added because it was hard to find fights. At the moment, they're not supposed to be a rich, rewarding feature that you hammer over and over again all day long. They're filler, something to do when PvP is quiet. People always complain about missions being boring and grindy - stop grinding them and sail over to a place where you can fight players. You'll have a ton more fun and get rewards to boot.

Client.exe hanging after pressing start - secondary travel laptop
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Flaank's topic in Support
I had great hopes. Someone more knowledgeable should be along to help soon. -
A roll back to what? 10 minutes earlier? 15? Other people were in other battles at that time. How do you roll back to anywhere other than last maintenance downtime without damaging somebody? There is code that was written to work when the server itself crashes - that code is suppose to prevent durability loss. The issue here is likely that the servers were running fine - it was the host provider that had issues, so the servers had no idea that people had been disconnected. I think you could certainly write code to detect that and to fail everything gracefully, but it hasn't been written yet.

PVP2 US: LT Redbeard - So much hate
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Arsilon's topic in Tribunal - Трибунал
Please right click on statements like this and "Report". It will be handled. If you're in battle, holding down the control button will bring your cursor up so you can click things. Thank you, this is under review by the Admiralty. -
Looks like the USA server group is currently down. They'll have it back up soon.

green on green friendly gank attempt
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Lyteros's topic in Tribunal - Трибунал
If you end up on the "wrong" side, you can simply leave the battle. There is zero excuse for green on green damage. -
CAPTURE WINDOW the big problem!
Henry d'Esterre Darby replied to Joe Lovet's topic in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
Please use the other threads for this. We do not need another Port Capture Timer thread. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/8263-petition-remove-port-capture-windows/ Thank you.
