If you use crew repair option in open sea, you can actually replenish ALL of your lost crew without paying for them. If you have 1100 men available and you lost 900 of them over the span of a few days, you can just take 90 medkits out and sit in the OW and replace ALL 900 lost men without paying for them. u will pay for it when med kits are not free

I was one of the guys who asked for nerfing of upgrades because I used them, and I had too much advantage over new guys.

I'm running a Trinc on the testbed, here is progression for the third slot on her: you need 4 Slots on Surprise, to get the third slot on the Surprise, you have to unlock the: 3rd slot on a Reno, to get the third slot on Reno you have to get: 3rd slot on Mercury, to get the third slot on a Merc, you have to get: 3rd slot on Privateer, to get that, you have to get: 3rd slot on a Lynx Then we have to go back to the top and see what Surprise needs for the fourth slot, because the progression list I just gave is just for the THIRD slot on the Surprise, and remember you need the fourth slot on it just to get the third slot on a Trinc. I'd hate to see what the fourth and fifth slot progression looks like.... Grind grind grind and grind some more. And just when you've had enough grinding the stupid AI, you go grind for another hour, get super tired of the grind, AFK sail some trade goods to [insert name of port] for a delivery order, then come back and grind some more... I made a suggestion here to reduce the grind for leveling up a ship, but still reward those who specialize in one ship. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/19868-a-different-take-on-leveling-up-ships/

Simon Cadete Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Why can't we use the system they had for call of duty/? You pick a gun that you like and as you get kills or complete challenges with it, you unlock everything for that gun. I like the Santissima, that's my favorite ship. As I use it and complete challenges like demasting x number of ships or anything really, you unlock upgrade slots, paint schemes and other stuff. That way I can start levelling up the ship that I like and not grind with 15 ships so I can have more upgrade slots with the 1st rate. I think this is a more reasonable system 1

They're in for a rude awakening if this is the system they're going with! Just watch the player count a couple weeks after the patch comes out! It doesn't even make sense. I think they're doing it just to keep the guys that are maxed out in both categories busy since there's not much to do in the game 70% of the time.

Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 If you Rank up like a newcomer will you simply unlock the 3 slots as you gain XP for rank and crew allowance. You are not looking to the system without any ulterior considerations to your own individual character, which is already max rank with the old system. 2

You are not looking to the system without any ulterior considerations to your own individual character, which is already max rank with the old system. Are you sure? In the early ranks, how many xp is it to move to the next level? How many xp do you need in a particular ship to unlock it? How many ships do you need to unlock per rank? I suspect even new players will forever be playing catch up.
FieryCross Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Sorry to mention again but has anybody else had the problem of not being able to keep the top deck guns mounted on a Conni.

First Lieutenant, then. 3000 xp till next rank. It might just work I suppose. But you've got Rattlesnake Heavy (where, I wonder does this one fit in?), Mercury and I suppose the Niagara in that bracket as well.

As a newcomer I didnt used every ship which was available. I was happy that I could afford the next ship needed to use all my crew after a level up. I went cutter -> snow -> cerberus -> belle poule -> bellona -> buce Grinding one ship of each class is fine, but having to play every single ship is just crazy imo.

In real life, which port of the caribbean didnt have some rum or tobacco? Very good point, that. @admin: Now that crafted medkits will be essential, shouldn't sugar and tobacco be distributed more like oak and hemp rather than like silver? 9 tobacco ports and 12 sugar isn't really enough, don't you think?

Even a esential consumable is hard to craft. In real life, which port of the caribbean didnt have some rum or tobacco? Craft any regional bonuses. People have crafted some vessels in different regions and no luck. I know you can produce tobacco in North Carolina, but not sure where else. Though that seems to be an important one if folks want to keep producing kits. Remember none of the new crafting stuff is in game so can't craft regional bonuses yet and such. That is what we are waiting on when the get the rest of the patch stuff into testbed. 53 minutes ago, Remus said: Thanks. What's that, 135 crew? First Lieutenant, then. 3000 xp till next rank.

Mecury 4th rank is 3250 xp....doing it right now so I can finish doing the Renom and Than Surprise. Mecury for some reason you need to do 4th rank instead of 3rd to advance on the Renom. 1

Lancella Dutch de Wildt Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 @Ink Sorry to mention it again (and again) but I'm still stuck in Battle Screen with no crew and a sunk ship (which in fact was a near mint one with adequate crew when battle ended)...
Jeheil Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 BIG BUG. I have F11's it. I have 11 dock slots. I have 3 in port. I get the "Not enough room in docks" on the error screen. Anyone else have this ?

So if you have 20 slots they are for all the caribbean (not per port) do you have ships in other ports that might be taking those 11 slots? 1
