This would be a viable option, but only if my clan has plenty of doubloons and a "exploring power" comparable to big clans. Basically my point is that this system is good just for big clans while is not so good for the others. Please keep in mind that some factions have no big clans at all.

Think thats what ppl in general have said. So we should have lots of fights infront of us. Ore ofc ppl give up and surrender. But as admin said. This is a war server. The spoils go to the winner. To stay in that Line @admin all ships bought from dbl, sould not be build from rare Woods. You don't lock behind key resources for ship building behind one port.....each of the woods only has one port each, that is just stupid. Maybe give each wood type half a dozne to a dozen ports for folks to pick from, but locking them behind one port only jsut means the strongest clans will win all the time and no one else will get the resources. 24 minutes ago, Teutonic said: Don't you dare touch my flags 😠 The French Merchant one looks nice too.

These were all Swedish possessions in the time-window of this game. Those would have been much better, much prettier, and much more unique flags without looking like patchworks. At least one of the most iconic american flags of the times isn't locked behind PvP Shop at 50K doubloons? Wonder what other nations have flags in the shop too. Betsy Ross was like the first US flag after it's Independence and I was wondering why it wasn't on the main list and now I know why, but for 50K doubloons? That insane.

There is plenty of safe spots no-one visits you can find on the map. well, under my experience sailing arround, and the map how it is now... u cant go where those NPC are, you dont have enough supply after a battle, so you must sail damaged into what ever you will find really far away from your port... ( is nice if you want that to happen but in the Minds of people who like to play "fast" as "posible" is prohivitive). in my humble opinion... i do like more pvp than PVE but both are equal important for not had long period of boringness. i do enjoy way lot more had some Enemy traders or even fleets coming towards your national ports... i know that change was to take people out of R zone, but with this new ROE in R zone and PVP you dont need this anymore... is just time consuming.
Audacious Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, admin said: if you start a new account you get the sextant perk. if you reset you will have to take it again or stay without it existing accounts can decide themselves. some have it some don't. basically we take sextant for new players for them making it easier for them. for solo patrol if you are in a 4th rate - only 4th rates can attack you if you are located in the solo patrol area (indicated above your compass) you can also only attack 4th rates. But as feature is new - expect bugs Why would you not make sextant available in the option menu. If I don't want it I turn it off, but when I need it I turn it on. What you did is bad and people will complain. Make it available for all that is ridiculous. Just silly imho... can it be fixed please? Edited February 28, 2019 by Pirate78

Why then not do it right and not some semi version. Limited ressources and clan restriction was a good start, but plenty to do yeth, - Only give VM for a won PB.(for ship permit) - Remove timers and hostillity. In war the enemy dosent attack when it is convient for you, and no 24 h delay. You just show up. - Reward Pvp, by remove real and dbl. Only winner get mark ofc. Those marks can be used for a note from a bank, that you can use to buy woods and upgrades. - All ships have to be crafted. No magic - No damage reward in patrole. See that would be a war server, yours is not.

Hethwill, the Red Duke Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Sextant is perk points. The points are automatically awarded to new fellows and automatically converted to Sextant. They can turn it off by resetting perks. Veterans can turn it on by spending perk points. Fleet 1 is free now and automatically given to everyone. 1
Sir Texas Sir Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 4 minutes ago, Teutonic said: I think it is an awesome direction to take and a great foundation. If someone extracted 5k wood a day it would take 200 real days to have it go away. That's a LONG time. Unless you can extract more than one clan delivery mission at a time. 1. The price for extraction should come down 2. The amount of wood is really high. 3. It's up to you how long you want to a forest to 'last' but it seems like a huge pile. I was thinking something more like 30-60 days and even that is quite a long time in terms of gaming. Admin, can you confirm if you can take more than 1 clan delivery mission for rare woods per day? I thought friendly clans could take missions from the port too by my understanding. The only problem I have with this is that it's only one port per wood types. Pretty much when every ones current ships are gone/wipe, only those folks strong enough to hold ports will have the good woods type making them even stronger over the rest of the server and with BR being so freaking stupidly low on most ports you can't try to gang up on them and over take it. That or you have what we had in US done today with LR.....VCO used an US alt clan to flip it so now we can't agro it and try to take it back. If that port had a special wood than all they had to do is just not have any friendly clans listed and harvest all the woods them self and nothing any one can do about it. So @admin your whole comment about keeping alts is not going to work. 2

If admin is right, a port like Chartegenha will have Pb every day until they are exhursted.
