ove bababoke Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Great patch! Crew management makes gameplay harder amd more interesting.
Brogsitter Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 A valid point. Marines also manned the guns in combat....... -Ski 100% AGREED!
Capt. Rice Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 So is this a permanent change? Meaning maintenance will be at 8:00 AM GMT, all the time? If so, it's bad for my playtime as in the Pacific timezone, I'll get at most 2-3 hours per night before server maintenance. Forcing me to casual status at best... I can't change what time my work ends for the day, or what time my kids go to bed. Oh well at least I'll be forced to get better sleep, maybe not a bad thing Wait so maintenance was at 2am pst now its at midnight...... is this correct?
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 How do you reset your outposts ? Since the patch the outposts I have don't work very well and it's far too expensive to add new ones. I'm gonna keep asking this till a dev or someone answers this frickin question.
Capt. Rice Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 How do you reset your outposts ? What do you mean resest... like abandon them so you can choose another place to put one?
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 What do you mean resest... like abandon them so you can choose another place to put one? yes, that's what I mean. Only......it's the rights you need so you can build the outpost that costs so damn much, the outposts themselves are cheap........I want to reset all of it
Enraged Ewok Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 yes, that's what I mean. Only......it's the rights you need so you can build the outpost that costs so damn much, the outposts themselves are cheap........I want to reset all of it Wouldn't you just abandon the outposts you don't want and build new ones where you do? Unless the patch changed something (I see nothing about it in the notes) you do not lose the permit when you abandon the outpost. The permit stays forever, and you just pay the 5k to abandon then 10k more to set up a new one.

The rights for my next outpost is 250k........can you abandon the rights too ? what's the next.......a million ? Edited March 10, 2016 by Bert Beard

The rights to build one is not tied to a specific port.
Riren Gin Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) My 2 cents: Crew management need 4 stages, currently it has only extra crew/normal crew/no crew, i'd really like low crew option, or ability to stop the flow of crew between stations mid way, so i can slightly boost my guns by slightly reducing my sailing capabilities Crafting notes are really troublesome, since to craft high grade notes you need lvl 35, and everyone having lvl 35 are actively crafting ships, so now they need to use their labor hours on crafting notes, so crafting every exceptional ship above connie takes 1 day extra to make, it may kill ship production. Lvl 15 is easy enough to reach, so crafting mid grade notes is fine in my opinion Buildings, oh boy, there's a lot wrong here. Let me start with simple fact that no sane ship crafter should buy any of them. We're already drained from our labor hours by high grade crafting notes, that basically we need to make ourselfes. And on top of that if we want cheaper (cheaper, not free, remember) resources we need to spend even more labor hours. 2nd thing is that upgrading production building is really big investment, and it may not yeld you any real profit, or be useful at all. Also prices for some materials produced are just simply too high, coal being good example, 13 per piece + labor hour, worth around 20-30 gold for me as a crafter. To sum it up, i'm kinda dissappointed with that patch, crew management being it's best change, and even that is not that great, which says a lot about it imo Edited March 10, 2016 by Riren Gin 4
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) you guys aren't hearing me. Don't you need to buy the rights first before you can build an outpost ? So then.........can you also abandon those rights and start over because I need about 3 outposts in different locations from the 4 I have now. I don't have several million to make this happen. That's why I want to reset all of it Edited March 10, 2016 by Bert Beard

That's why I want to reset all of it I'm hearing you. If you already have the rights to 5 outposts, and you want to get rid of 2 outposts to put them somewhere else, you abandon the two you do not want and then build outposts at the new locations. The only reason you would need to buy a new permit is if you wanted a 6th outpost. 1

That's why I want to reset all of it you want 3 more out post on top of the 4 you have? if you dont want to abandon any of the ones you have now you will have to buy the new ones at full price.
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I have 4 outpost plus the capital the rights for my next outpost is 250k the rights for the next one is probably 2 1/2 times that and the 3rd ??? when you start out with the first couple they are cheap........that's why I want to reset them
Heibges Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Maintenance now starts at Midnight PST? On the North American Server the Maintenance Period should be 3amPST/6am EST. By changing the time you are killing the game on the NA server. This was an ill-conceived idea. Edited March 10, 2016 by Heibges
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I tried abandoning one outpost but the cost for the 5th one was still 250k It's not the outposts itself that so expensive it's the rights to do that ........and I couldn't find a way to abandon the rights. Edited March 10, 2016 by Bert Beard

If you abandoned the outpost, the slot where its permit was should change to 'Build Outpost' and only cost 10k. You do NOT need to buy a new permit if you abandoned one of your old outposts.
Grim DeGrim Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 you guys aren't hearing me. When you abandon, you abandon the location. You retain the permit you purchased, for use in any location you desire. All you will need to pay us $5k to abandon the old location and $10k to build in the new location. You will not need to purchase the permit again, unless your outpost locations exceed your total number of purchased permits.

Your saying I can move the permit to a different location ? ......port that is. If so that's the answer I needed Edited March 10, 2016 by Bert Beard
BR549 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 This patch killed the economy completly: in addtion You are not getting a single craft XP for producing resources. The result will be an inflation on ship prices. I bet an exeptional Bellona will be about 1.000.000 to 1.200.000 within the next days. Sometimes I really wonder if the devs are making up their mind before implementing stuff like this. Already had one this morning on PvP 2 advertised in Global Chat for sale at the reduced price of 1.5 million -- attached barnacles were free
Capt. Rice Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) So Grim. Your saying I can move the permit to a different location ? Yes you can that what i was trying to say....i thought you were trying to get rid of permits but keep an out post.... Edited March 10, 2016 by Capt. Rice
Bert Beard Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Ok guys, I'll try that. Sorry if I was getting impatient........thanks for your help !
