Please make it so you can see what ships were used... 

[Norfolk nChance]

don't you think that's privileged information earned by both the PvP parties? 

Next you'll want what the ships were made of and cannon loadouts.... 

I think it gives enough info imho already

[Skully]

I would love to have full intel. Makes life at OPS so much easier. 

It serves its purposes as it is:

1. Provide folks with a location where PvP is happening
2. Basic Intel for those clans who have no OPS

I like the cloak & dagger a bit more, but we all sail with radio already. So it is a freeby for those who don't wish to organize.

And why exactly do you need to know the ships and all the detail?  All you need to know is that certain area is currently a hot spot.

Why exactly do we need to know where people are hunting / fighting automatically at all? And i didn't ask for "all the detail" but only the ships ( mostly surprise or constitution anyways so why the fuzz? ) ... People asked for some prestige system for pvp and the Combat News could add to that if it showed the ships used.... How do you know if someone sank a constitution or just a basic cutter? So at least knowing the destroyed ship would be nice...  There are some guys who sink 10 trader brigs and get 10 pop-ups on combatnews and other sank only 2 but both heavy frigates, yet it looks like the first is more successful in pvp... you get the idea?

Then there is also the PvP scoreboard.

That barely anyone gives 2 shits about... most people look at combat news...

No need, 90% of the time you can be sure it's in a Surprise ^^

This is a good general view of BATTLE instances if put in place, with 3x types of ship and 3x types of causalities. 

The area I'd like to see but am sure would be too difficult to code. Once I've boarded someone I can see their make up. So, as you say wood types gun load outs etc

The BulletLog I still pull after each PvP or AI fight win or lose. Even though out dated and not in future plans. It still shows you accurately the ship's cannon load out on each deck and what was fired at what point. Not for everyone but I don't think detailed info shouldn't be given out freely...

I love the combat news

[faction] [ship]...sunk...[faction] [ship]...in...[region]

no names

just ships

no port

just region

Anybody could me explain what clerk say?

[2017-Jul-26 16:31:36.432254] Clerk>Suricato Rojo sank British player near Cayman Brac
[2017-Jul-26 16:31:36.460781] Clerk>Suricato Rojo sank British player near Cayman Brac

[2017-Jul-26 20:22:57.908217] Clerk>LittleLamo sank Swedish player near Fort Baai
[2017-Jul-26 20:23:58.419303] Clerk>LittleLamo sank Swedish player near Fort Baai

Did the players kill 2 enemies or capture and then sink?

 

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

1st is capture

2nd is sinking by choice option

________

but on rare occasions can be a coincidence and be 2 actual sinkings.

says only once

[2017-Jul-26 16:31:36.432254] Clerk>Suricato Rojo sank British player near Cayman Brac  ---- capture

 

Pretty much equal as to a sinking

Read CombatNews 4 hours ( 26/07/2017 16:31:36 -  26/07/2017 20:23:58 UTC).

Marked the battles on the map.

@admin

Could you make a downloadable version of the CombatNews chanel? if i want more data then i must run game 24/7.

I hope that you remove doubled records in the future

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

@qw569 this is both servers concatenation or just EU ( or Global ) ?

Would be interesting to have two colors for the different servers ( until we have a unified server again ).

Please implement this feature in the game!  

Or, at least, post a weekly report on the forums to everyone to see.

If admin writes an API for the data, someone could just implement it on a 3rd party website. Might save admin some UI work.
