Right. My Clanmebmbers confirm that LvL 3 ShipYard gives 6K Doublons. But I just got 2K. CHECK and Reimburse me!  Getting tired of this laggardness!

I agree too and since we have other 12 lb frigates in game it has a match.  The Herc and Req have no in game equivalent though so they should never be allowed in shallow port battles being shallow water 5th rates by game standards.

since it’s now a 5th rate a refit of the Indianman would be nice the only way I could see a 4th rate would be a bigger trade ship.

DLC TRADER EASY $20 

I believe pricing it at $20 is Fair and the cheapest $15 to be in line with the Admiralty Connection DLC. 

Take a 2nd or 3rd ship. Cut the top deck off, seal the lower and upper gun decks. Keep middle deck and originals cannon weight.  Keep original crew numbers and have base hold size as 5500 or 6000, as for speed make it the same as the Indiaman's base speed. This would be classed as a 4th rate. Be the largest trader in the game. Be able to defend itself against everything smaller than it but still be considerably under gunned by 4th rates and larger. Its base speed would allow it to outrun those ships. Like the Indiaman it has the ability to fight small ship in an attempt to defend itself but faced with anything of equal size it considerably out gunned this ship would be no different 

This set up would have been a conversion that happened a lot by navies around the world for captured or outdated ships to be converted into a transport ship or simply sold off to a trade company who would make the conversion.  For instance a 2nd rate line ship constructed in the early 1600(before 1650) and managed to survive into the 1700s that's atleast 50 years of service in that time it would need to be put in dry dock and repaired from being at sea for so many years. Newer ships would have already replaced it on the front lines making it a reserve ship or coastal patrol at best. Even today ships don't reach 50 years of service very often unless they get converted to another role like the US navy giving its older ships to the Coast Guard. 

Modeling a ship like this would be simply doesn't need fancy decorations on the ship, that is if you don't just remodel an existing ship. Something very similar to the 3rd rate in the game very generic and as for the name call it Trader Line ship. It would be in line of the Trader Brig/snow/cutter/lynx.

Please multiply the rewards by 25 and this will help you understand how much you received in old money
rewards were increased greatly.. 

Also avoid jumping to conclusions before you understand whats happening. We take every feedback very seriously but do not want to waste time on false signals and prefer to fix real problems.

Hello Dev

I would like to know how a French new casuel player can start thé game.

with enough crew for a basic cutter you first havé to sail in enemy  water’s to find a small Trader  (thé Only target you can expect )to get some  XP and réal.It can take hour’s Before you meet one.

when you get enough crew you havé to sail to Shallow,à long trip for a beginner, and then open shroud cay to havé a chance to find more target for you.

shallow si one of thé most dangerous area of thé game ( after la Tortue) ..idéal for newbee...in fact idéal for hard core gamer’s who like to chasse newbee ´s 

So î’m not sur that the new IA policy is going to keep new player’s in game.

Even for experimented player Find IA is Boring you spend all your game Time sailing just to find an empty océan.

a friend of mine say thé new name for thé game should be Naval Inaction....

This game si great Why alway’s punish gamer’s...why delete thing’s that gave player’s Some fun.

I can understand that the old IA system was ...Exotic..but please Nevers Forget that player’s Play for fun and an empty océan si not fun AT all.

I'm open to letting people have their fun, but I'm hesitant of getting daddy to pay for their crashed car when their bad choices leads to inevitable doom.

Building Productivity

Prior to the wipe I used all 5 building slots to build level 3 Cotton Plantations and could make around 8 Cotton Sails per day through the use of labour contracts - farming and making cotton rolls used most of the hours.

One level 3 plantation now generates around 25 Cotton Sails per day without resorting to labour contracts (now too expensive) and I can't farm more than a about 20% of the total stock to do this through lack of labour hours! Obviously you can no longer have 5 of the same plantations in the same port, so some gain per plantation might be expected but the current productivity is far too great.  Clearly this needs changing as its a OTT.

Do missions. You won't learn much chasing traders.

Hotfix 9th of November

• PvP rewards that drop into holds are significantly increased
• Shipbuilding woods NPC deliveries slightly adjusted - they deliver woods a bit more often now.
• Shooting skill book changed from % of muskets to musket accuracy 
• All upgrades in the fire arms upgrades category slightly rebalanced (accuracy slightly lowered) % of muskets for crew decreased.

Firearms upgrades will still remain strong - musket fire during boarding using advanced firearms will inflict significant losses

Thanks @admin for the update and the increase in PVP drop.

But it was fair and balanced having my musket ship kill 80 enemy crew into their brace.

@admin could you please take a look at the book of the five rings, too? Compared to barricades and other new upgrades its seem to be a little bit „underpowered“. Compared to the effort to get all the five books to craft it it could need a buff.

Thank you!

Looking forward to testing this. 

Looting in PvP is most of the time not an option, but so I hope it is adjusted to a level that compensates for this.

I agree, @admin  Book of Five rings,... should be worth it is not easy or cheap to get, but i understand that you do not want that book of Five rings would be OP and that owner would steamroll everyone in boarding, but currently i kinda find marines is more usefull.

You can hire more labor force in the Admiralty, by purchasing labor contracts.
