Ok so here my questions...

Why rum? Since when do I revive my crew with rum? How can I imagine that? Does this have a realistic reference? i dont know.

Other details will follow? WHEN? today? tomorrow? next week? Can you say something more specific?

greetings NitroBiLLe

They don't realy revive dead crew, they just bring back "wounded" crew. They basicaly got knocked out or had a big wound, and the drink some rum, bandage the wound and they have the courage to continue. Possibly the rum might have enough alcohol to disinfect wounds, i don't know.

surgeon gives them rum so they don't shout much when he cuts their legs.

Unless the amount of rum I get is enough for me to be KO, I would still be shouting when they saw my leg off.

Ouch, that hurts

When you edit the original post, can you put the added text in red or somethig to see the new stuff?

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Solid hotfix.

Eager to test the mass affecting speed.

[Lokyi]

Crafting cannons great... but what about newbie low levels?

I've been trying to play a literal newbie character with absolutely nothing to start with... Playing on and off for 3 days has got me pretty much nowhere, as you get bugger all XP from OW kills or caps, there are bugger all AI traders getting about, and the ones that are, are carrying bugger all.

A Tbrig full loaded from 13.3kt to 10.6kt (Copper plating included).

We need real nights back now

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Thank you.

(( One of the ruses used my sea rovers used was to roll ballast to one side, make the lady have a limp and heel, then drop the skiffs and let them drag a bit more. From the distance it looked like a heavily laden trader ship. ))

I guess the mass affects everyone. So taking barrels of rum and repairs parts should also affect the warships no ?

I miss, Cannon Class showing in the Crafting overview, or we need in equipment section the pound of cannons we coud equip.

? elaborate?

Very nice patch, no bugs so far - perhaps next if the trader destroys/dumps cargo this can create a marker on the OW so the chasing ship (or anyone else) can pick it up?

jeje, a 20% of speed penalty for full load...

 

the botton "pray" now is operative for the tradres... 

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Fully laden ship could carry good momentum even if she would hold low in the water.

(( another reported hint when chasing a potential prize was, at spyglass detail distance to check how low she hangs in the waterline. A experienced captain could guess how much cargo would be being carried ))

I wonder if there's a chance to "mask" the nature of ships in the distance. After all sail plans could be deceiving.

How do we get the Permanent upgrades?

[Liq]

I like that change of cargo hold affecting speed. No more silly indiamans outrunning anything downwind :o) Instead they'll have to get escorts now. good change imo.

Admiralty. In port screen, top menu. Exchange Marks for whatever one you need.

Is that Hammocks M part of permanent upgrades? I bought one and use, but nothing happen

its a skill to better use hammocks. Once you used it it is in your skill list (for that class of ships)

there are no permanent upgrades in game yet except for 5 that drop from military ships if you board them.

Hotfix will be deployed today (26th of April) to testbed. 

• Hold load now affects speed and acceleration. Cannons affect hold. (Hold numbers and weights are not final and will be updated more this week).

 

Only in Battle Instance or in Open World, either?

at this stage in battle
in the ow - coming soon

[Havelock]

Example for those who are interested:

LGV (teak, speed, copper plating)
empty: 12,90kn
with 24pd carros: 12,87kn
with full hold: 10,34kn

Definetely dont want to go out alone^^

 

Regarding cannon crafting:

I dont like that mediums have the same price in the AI shop as i need to pay to craft them myself (nobody would ever craft mediums). I know a lot of people like to use medium 42pders on their 1st rates to increase DPS, or people who mix medium 18pders and long 9pders on the Trinco to have somewhat equal penetration values and increased DPS. There is a market for them. Imo AI shop cannons prices shall be doubled.
