    if one ship sails backwards with 5kn and the other forward with 3kn you can board him. But not sure if boarding will break anyway because of speration that will result while droping sails. Will only work small ship vs big ship because big ships always seemed to have more force when it came to pulling.

    cheap as a 12pd -18pd carro herc hugging a Sol?

    i could do the same on global with 120-150ping 😉 Ping is just an cheap excuse. I always expect the unexpected like being boarded by a santi @Sir John

    That boarding change looks like leeway to me. Some people will fail to adept and beach themselves To me it looks like a better way than to add musketry (passive) .Boarding is (active) an active feature and will reward the ones who try.

    But vector speed difference is 14 like you pointed out not 0. so my guess you cant board

    no more hugging ai so they dont shoot ;D I love it

    Do you ever saw the first Sea Lord standing on the quarterdeck^^

    Whats more cheesy?

    rigging can not get entangled ramming does not cause rigging dmg you can stick a bowsprit into the stern of an other 1st rate yards and bowsprit have no colider only sides and bow/stern have Yeah I am ok with that you can pull 100000 tons of ships together thats necessary because of of the simplification lvl the game has. But pushing someone out of boarding ist just gamey and not a simplification.

    @admin any chance that we get a change of game physics that 2 ships entangled in boarding are seen by the game as 1 entity so that the gamey feature of pushing away during boarding ends?

    There is no hugging in bigger battles. That are fights yardarm to yardarm, massive poundings. What should be looked at is thickness meta + angle meta. To make 100-150m fights valid.

    You guys always look only at the pb side of things. Furthermore ball dmg will still crew dmg your own mate. On top a surrounded ship swarmed in a big blob will sink anyway. A ship in a gank will most likely sink anyway. Maybe pb commanders should adept? Maybe boarding axes could get a disengage buff?

    Don't forget that soon both ships in boarding get crew dmg when fired upon. So no more 1 boards other shoot grape. Furthermore a lot of captains lack aggressiveness which in many cases could win the day. But I agree sailing downwind is more convenient.^^

    Players shouldn't be able to start pve fights when enemies are in the near vicinity. Would safe a lot of players that are unaware of their surroundings.

    On top other than in-game I doubt that naval engagements were fought at full ship speed.

    32-gun British frigate HMS Ambuscade and the French 24-gun corvette Bayonnaise ... As the frigate sailed on the port side of the corvette on a parallel course, overtaking her, Bayonnaise backed sail and turned hard to port, ramming Ambuscade. The bowsprit of Bayonnaise cut down Ambuscade 's mizzen, wounding part of the crew standing on the poop deck, and entangling the two ships. ...

    The prismatic coefficient (CP) is a similar non­-dimensional coefficient, and it is an even more valuable tool for the designer. Unfortunately, you need to know the area of a section of the hull, usually amidships. The Cp compares the shape of the hull not to a block, but to a prism with a base the same shape as the midship section and a length the same as the waterline length. It is a more valuable number and its relationship to speed in yachts is better documented than the block coefficient. Dont know if that will help you

    @admin the boarding change might resolve as an elegant way to sim what musketry would have broken. Cant wait to experience it first hand
  21. z4ys
    i am unsure a xebec 250 crew can now easily board a surprise without pushing. But lets see.
  22. z4ys
    and victory will be worst 1st rate not because of leaks because of boarding as well. but i dont understand dd changes so far. What it solves is belle poules/hercs hugging 1st rates/ sols
  23. z4ys
    I would say throw the rope and get your muskets and pikes rdy^^
  24. z4ys
    Will AI do it as well? (I hope so)
  25. z4ys
    "learning" can be a long term goal why to play the game as well
