Its a ship WIP test for "premium ship dlc pack (3 ships)" they said premium ships will never be bigger than 4th rate (dont know if still valid). If it is valid dont expect 3rd and bigger for premium dlc test. But we will see some more sols "soon" i guess
My first sailing impression/feedback
Regarding that picture i was curious how she would handle while sailing straight downwind. The next picture shows her speed while sailing in autoskipper straight downwind (speed 8.7kn)
I checked and yards are at max position. Testing now what will happen when i twist the yards to the other side resulted in a ship turning left and less speed.
First conclusion is that yard position reduces speed when sail is pressed against the mast (more obvious reason sail force is broken). I like to add even autoskipper is confused with sailing straight downwind and switches yards from side to side.
Suggestions:
give independent mast control for all 3 masts
add battlesail front and mizzen mast (at full sail) main (furled) for maximum maneuverability
The main mast yard should be on the other side ( I dont think that sail press against the masts has any effect ingame but it would change the odd look when wind is coming from starboard.
And pls add WIP in battle tab to show people - ship is not final - and to make them stop ranting
I am not sure if xebec should have inbuild "control" like all the other ships without chaser. I know that the xebec has bow guns and therefore "control" is disabled but as banished pointed out they do no dmg to sails. Instead of buffing swivels just give her control.
cant wait to see the yard animation. But shouldnt one of the sails be on the other mast side? I mean current display is not wrong but rigged for a specific wind.
That was a good one. Skill books and especially encyclopedias ruin gameplay by making a 5slot ship a 18 slot ship. So Ofc let us even add more and build more walls. Sorry but that's just a wrong approach. That's not content that is building a ladder of fake content.
Problem might be the promise to keep xp. But there was an idea to grant a choice for everyone. Player who chose to wipe all assets even xp get extra and special reward while player that would rather keep xp get the xp as reward. In my opinion thats a good compromise. But regarding alts I say the rewards have to be acc bound like the xp would be.

Regarding prices 😉 That aint cheap as well. Nation change is a gamechanger so 19,99€ looks okish to me. Ofc i woudnt mind it to be cheaper but actually is ok.
yes, when you look at the first pictures the left ship should sail 15.26kn and the right 14.63kn but actually they both sail 14.6kn. Only difference is loodsman.
Here a proof that for rattlesnake no loodsman bug could be found. In both cases the ship had the same speed (in battle). Even loodsman showed 15.26kn the ship could not go faster than 14.6kn which is the speed without loodsman.
