that was after the sail physic change as merc suddenly outperformed the heavy rattle close to the wind. upwind sailing is king because weather gage wins most fights. and swedes (rediii) is king for that tactic. Xebec is an allrounder (not so much after last 180° speednerf) making her the best choice. Its always meta to have the best all around sailing ship and upwind is king Most guns Most crew and to be tanky there will never be Diversity as long there is a meta. but sure lets lie to ourselves when it makes us feel better and lets give the unblessed/noobs some sort of hope. Amen

can someone pls give him a santa .... its getting old

200 or 160 ok lets not talk about that. But in my opinion deepwater portbattle BR should be changed accordingly because its working whats not working is shallow pbs because of the small br range 0-80

imagine shallow ships would have the BR range of 0-200 All other ships get their BR lifted accordingly and deep water BRs as well so they stay the same. Xebec could be 200BR Hrattle could be 180BR Prince could be 140BR Privateer could be 90BR etc keep shallow portbattle BR limits and suddenly they would make fun again. (in the sense of to not exclude non dlc owners)

Diversity is a lie. before it was rattle and prince that dominated the shallows. Merc was just the poor mens choice like rattle is in current meta.

funny that i agree with you and shallow ships need love. But most do not consider them as real ships till they get sunk by one. Shallow portbattles are BS. I can do 8vs8 deep water battles. But why do i need at least 15 for a shallow one. Why pickle is 55BR and prince 80BR are double the crew and 8 more guns worth 25BR? Shallow ships would need a own BR rating system with a wider range as 0-80BR in order to outline difference. 25BR is just to less difference. But again why put effort into shallow ships before herc and le requin nobody used them. Now flaws come to the surface that were ingame for such a long time. So lets just nerf herc and le requin to shit because thats how its always done instead of change the game. -.-

importet ships do the only one who really openly admit and like that fact is @jodgi The rest is complaining that imported ships spoil eco because actual they want a kill to matter. to make the loser feel the loss to give meaning to openworld

@admin can we get more leaks to the journal? Will it just be a mission history? Or will it be more?

@Crow dont feel bad for sinking people it was their choice to go on pvp server. No mercy given none ask.

Do all 6th rates have the same crew? Do all 80br ships have the same crew + gun count? Br is bs for shallowships. It works for deep water ships because range is 90 to 700 and is much bigger and allows more variety as 0-80.

I have the feeling you do coast guard duty ar your greenzone. Besides the requins that are the ships you face ( not includes all the encyclopedias) Add that those captains sailing for other nations capital ports are not new and are experienced. Experienced captains know.... when to run how to run when to enagage how to engage And the most crucial part is to make the victim feel safe. An equal BR or equal ship fight doesnt mean its a fair fight. Pro vs Pro fights are so boring because in most cases its easy to predict the next move and to counter it leading to no solutions when its not patrol RoE (no running) Thats why I sail on the ow to distant places where any ship that has guns is good enough. I might take time it might take longer but in the end its much more enjoyable for me.

All you need is 1 outpost at navasse or LT to gank Brits at kpr. Even works fine for pirates. Redeem a ship and go. Carezones RoE is kind of same RoE as patrol zone but with the feature to escape. Only a 5-20min sail guaranteed players what could be better and easier to get pvp. Right easy option to tp to bensalem and start to harass at Belize when things got hot at kpr. We need more tps and outposts. Makes it harder to face the consequences for me

I think it's because we would take countermeasures if we know exactly how the eco stuff would look like. Forcing them to wipe everything so it could be tested proper. And you know how much this community likes the word wipe so better let us stay stupid till we get this patch.

does br make any difference in ow other than tag? and 55 vs 80 is such a difference

i hope

show me a requin out of the box no mods/books doing easily 15kn

niagara has only 2 canons less on each side as le requin. pickle has 4 guns less as prince on each side. sure they are outgunned. Buff pickle

And this is the reason why infos are not shared with us @admin does not have to justify for their decisions. Let see what we will get and give our feedback then. We dont see the big picture yet.

Its still ingame. i would call that compromise.

rage will occure when its taken out before people do not read or care

We could even change it to False surrender a xebec and pirate only mechanic

And we are sitting on millions and towing a ship is more an issue of an click rather the money. The only bad thing about it is that really new players might not have money but do they need teleporting? In most chases they stick to the starting base a long time. @admin will f11 coords be removed in the future? How will be the outrage when f11 coords get removed I really cant wait for it

people still have to get close to "sink" + loot the ship. (surrendered ships dont get damaged ingame)
