Maximum size of the group is set at 6. Total player in testing room possible is 50. Caguarian and live oak trees buffed. Live oak and Caguarian woods has received a bonus to mast thickness - 5% Live oak has been buffed both in HP and thickness Caguarian HP was buffed Thickness drop due to damage increased for light builds. This means that if you are sailing fir/cedar ships you will have to start repairing earlier to retain thickness. Reinforcement zones no longer supply some rare woods (in particular teak and white oak) which have been moved to nearby capturable regions. NPC suppliers of repairs now supply them at cost + some margin (instead of the cost) to give some opportunities for crafters to compete. Victory marks rank requirements is reduced by 1 rank to Master&Commander level (rank 5). Previously it was rank 6. NPCs now buy looted cannons at slightly higher prices.

Awesome with the spreadsheet admin! I'm a huge fan of spreadsheets as you know It makes life much easier when i can just copy stuff into my own spreadsheet instead of have to go look in game files for data! 2. Quick look in spreadsheet; I think new values are much better! 3. Question; Why the bonus gets smaller on bigger ship, BUT malus is same no matter size of ship? There must be reason why you choose this? 4. Question; Now speed modules/turn module have been "nerfed". I think for balance, that next patch you nerf maybe "Tanky" modules (HP/Thickness)?

Navalus Magnus Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 @admin and @Ink More thickness? Are you serious man? The whole forum - well at least almost the whole - is crying out, is begging you to lower the thickness (of 1st rates) and you even create more possibilities to increase it!? 3

Thickness was a problem that multiplied because of excessive repairs (28% bonus to repair amount). Current nerfs to repairs will make is significantly better. + Live oak makes your ship very slow and it should pay off in survivability. 6

Ships are not even realy penable with teak whiteoak and 2 thickness mods. Dont want to complain but wasa BR is wrong with 380. Its the same like 3rd rate now and a Bellona is way better than a wasa. 330 or something like that would have been better. lol wasa uses 4th rate mods which are better than the lineship mods this ends up being stronger against 3d rates and bellona's 3

But I don‘t understand why you make the thickness / penetration problem that difficult - reducing thickness would have solved it, wouldn‘t It!? Edit: We also move further and further away from historical correct thickness values with such a step (HMS Victory’s thickness at waterline was 60cm, wasn’t it!?).

Do it step by step and will get a good result. I have to agree with rediii (i terms of BR)

You know emotions get realy high in RvR and today is a important day for russia and sweden. So firstrates in liveoak now sail with around 106cm thickness compared to 101cm thickness before and even with 101cm it was stupid already. overall thickness is not the live oak problem - its the problem of overall thickness for all vessels. this is going to change with hp and thickness rebalance for all vessels 8
