gautrek Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 But WoT also has clan logos, which is more like what will be on banners and flags. Keeping paint color/patterns historical is easy enough, but people are going to want to fly their banner. And like WoT, if it's offensive or breaks some kind of TOS, it can be reported and handled. But there was a way to add a mod that made clan tags invisible. As there will undoubtedly be some hideous tags made up. Ditto with the crappy gold camo that sprouted up. It overrode my carefully selected camo's and made them look shite. Until a way was figured out to ignore them.
Mirones Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 no need to worry all flags and ensigns will be based historical ones or made that they fit in the overall picture no need to complain about non existing las vegas neon signs 1
gautrek Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Because it's their ship and not yours? You can also turn that around, why do you want to enforce your ideas on others? Because I paid for my copy of my game . Simples

Variations were: - Four stripes: orange-blue-white-orange- Five stripes: orange-white-blue-white-orange- Six stripes: red-white-blue-red-white-blue- Seven stripes: blue-red-blue-white-blue-red-blue- Eight stripes: orange-blue-white-orange-blue-white-orange-blue- Nine stripes: orange-white-blue-white-orange-white-orange-white-blue or red-white-blue-red-white-blue-red-white-blue- Ten stripes: orange-blue-white-orange-blue-white-orange-blue-white-orange- Eleven stripes: red-white-blue-white-red-white-blue-white-red-white-blue (orange was often also replaced by red) Some ships used the Geuzen flag (in the present day used for the Royal Dutch Navy) to honour the victory over the Spanish by the Watergeuzen (Sea Beggars/Rebels) which basically had a key part in establishing independence from Spain after the 80 Years' War on 1 April 1572. Some people still re-enact and celebrate this on the same date: 2

Captain Black Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 I'd like to see a more in depth communications aspect, in my opinion the gaming community would enjoy immersing themselves in this type of game to the greatest extent. I myself would love the option to determine how much of my HUD I would allow to show and the option to hide it all together. Having the option to communicate in this way would be fantastic to say the least.
Wicked Mouse Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 and the option to hide it all together. This you can already: Ctrl+H http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/1964-keyboard-shortcuts-list-keybinding-suggestions/

Bart Smith Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Here are some examples of flags i made for PotBS: 3
Bart Smith Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you very much! Since user content is broken in PotBS i discover on my archives about 300 flags and sail patterns...here are few more: 3
SCL Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I Would love to see the Scottish Coat of Arms in the game that would be my flag or any of the other Scottish flags
D. Federico de Gravina y N Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Hi. I want to make a question to developers, about how you gonna do with the Spanish Flag , and the French and English flag?, i mean, that they were changed a few times between 1700 and 1820. The spanish chase is this:: War flag (1701 -1784) Merchant Flag (1701 - 1762) War flag (1785 - 1873) Merchant Flag (1785 - 1927) So, How you gonna do? I think that the other nations like France and England have the same problem, for these reason, I want to know if you have a idea to resolve it Edited March 13, 2015 by RAE_Cmdt.Cavero
Joe Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) My guess is they will either let you choose from a set of flags so you can pick what you want or you will just have a set national flag. But that's just my guess. Edited March 13, 2015 by Joe
admin Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 There will be one flag per nation - but multiple types of pennants, ensigns and banners. 3
Ned Loe Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Found a bunch of cool designs. I hope societies will have a tool like in bf4 , where you can design an emblem. Examples: 3
Portsdown Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Thats not an Example, thats a Reference Library.
Prater Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I'd rather have the ability to upload our own design.
Grim DeGrim Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Possibly Caldwell's work. He was in SGS. I'll have to write him for a template!
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) You were asking about Signal Flags.That poses several issues.Firstly each Nation will have Different Signals.Secondly,speaking about the Royal Navy,there were several Books of Signals.One would be the "Standing General Signals Book" used across the Fleet.Then each of the Senior Admirals would have their own "personal" signal books, and even lower down the food chain other Flotilla Commanders would have one.It wasnt untill Marryat made a standardised system(mainly for Merchantile Marine)that the system became a lot easier. All that said,i have managed to find a Signals book from 1799,printed in Madras,it was owned by Lt John Batt(?) Acting Captain of HMS Suffolk 2nd of Sept 1779.As you will see he has made his own Signals (the signal Numbers written in freehand) later on in the book.I should think very little changed (the "Official" Signals) through the Period of Naval Action.I hope this helps. http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1018&context=sc_pubs Edited March 19, 2015 by Sir Cloudsley-Shovell
Bart Smith Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 There will be one flag per nation - but multiple types of pennants, ensigns and banners. Are the banners or pennants will be related to guilds and made by players like user content in PotBS?
Herzog Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It would be a nice idea to be able to make a customized flag for when you are a pirate.
Bart Smith Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It would be a nice idea to be able to make a customized flag for when you are a pirate. Why pirate?
