The change in ship board fire mechanics...

[kitsunelegend]

I like them. =3

 

I was fighting an AI snow earlier, and set him a blaze in my second broad side against him. I thought "ok, no worries, he'll just put it out in a second like usual"

 

Boy was I wrong...

 

He kept burning...and burning...I then unloaded more shots into his side, killing something like 8 crew (32lb carronades are FUN)....and the flames grew higher....

 

Sadly, he still, if barely, managed to put it out, but it actually made me fear he would explode, so I ended sailing farther away in case that did actually happen. He of course still had almost 80% of his crew left after the fire went out, so I still think that AI has a higher probability of putting out fires, but seeing this change is really nice. Makes for added danger and fun when doing missions. =3

 

Also! Really happy about there being rudders on the OW ship models now. Small nit pick, but it makes me VERY happy. So thank you for that devs! ^-^

One thing I found amusing, and I love, after this patch is that when I'm close, and start boarding prep, the other ship drops sails and I hear it's whistle to start boarding prep!
