[Tips] One liners.

[Hethwill, the Red Duke]

Plenty of games have this TIPS as one liners in the loading screens. Would be nice to see them in game also.

Given it is just an idea we all can build into it, no ? And see where it leads.

So let's do very concise one liners that can also be nice tips for newcomers and vets alike, no matter how basic they are. I will post a few examples:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

"You can hide all the chat windows, while sailing, by pressing the T key"

---

"Reinforcement Zones allow to call AI support when attacked by enemies. Not when they invade your battles."

---

"Reinforcement AI are support for the players. They are not replacements of the players."

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

'Trade ships can enter enemy ports'

---

'The wind will periodically change direction, in battle.'

---

'A battle stays open for 3 minutes if it is out of the reinforcement zone. Beware any player can join within this period. '

---

'Expect sailing in a sailing game'

---

Double tapping a rudder order ( A and D keys ) will hold it hard over until cancelled.

'Trade ships can enter enemy ports'

'The wind will change direction periodically in battle.'

I think this is a good idea.

I also think its a good idea, especially in NA where there is much to know. A similar post was created by Wyy:

It is a must, should be implemented asap. Let the newbiews know what will happen in greenzone and much more.

As a community we can create and collect the tooltips, DEVS can just put them on loading screens.

Example: A battle stays open for 3 minutes if it is out of the reinforcement zone. Beware any player can join within this period.

Before One Liner Tool Tips there needs to be a Control Base. Like a Wiki with all the Control’s and where the Tool tips drive from. Then they can be deleted or updated as and when in proper fashion.

If you did just offer “Tool Tips” it will suffer massive legacy issues like

“Press [CTRL] + L to see both enemy and your own bullet logs...”

my tip

“Press the [HOME] + Z/X (up/down) + middle mouse for increased speed”

This is a Guide. Whatever Devs want to do with the one liners is up to them.

Carry on.

All liners added in the opening post.

I really like the idea, but you and I know the Dev’s need to keep information up to date. This needs to be thought out and have one conduit that changes all exported views otherwise it won’t be done...

To repair when in Open World, press the 'F' key or 'Fleet' icon at bottom of screen, then choose Hull, Sails, or Crew.

Must.  Not.  Comment!

Don't sail anything you cannot afford to lose.

Perfect is the enemy of good enough

'Adding cargo to your ship will increase its weight and slow it down significantly, so only sail with what you need.'

'Carronades are lighter than medium and long guns, so arming your ship with them can increase its speed.'

At the start of a battle, use your telescope (Shift Key) to examine the enemy ship and see what type of guns he has.

Carronades, Mediums or Longs.

While in battle periodically press the (tab key) to see who has joined the battle.

Or maybe "experiencing a mini lag in battle could be an indicator that someone has joined the battle. Press Tab to check."

Sailing with the wind leaning you towards the enemy will prevent leaks from waterline shots.

Careful getting too close to bigger ships, they might attempt to board you!
