My main concern is the knowledge we already have. It took a great deal of effort to acquire this knowledge and I would hate to have to start all over again. If a book is modified, will we still own the book?

If a book is modified, will we still own the book? I think, they will probably use same pattern as when they changed crafting levels and added new player ranks - you still have the same XP, but they were distributed slightly differently. Also when once some books were changed to modules (FX: Fireship Books and Open Magazine Book) - you lost the books, but if you had them installed on ships that time, you still could keep them in the slots till you remove them.

It was the most voted third rate, way more than Temerarie and Wreker, and it is not even in the ship development plans. Spain is lacking ships ingame but still more french and british ships are added without any news from Montanes. And Diana is a ship that you can only receive as a gift from devs, so only the Santisima is there to represent the Spanish Navy. perhaps detailed plans are lacking? Devs do try to keep true to the originals
LeBoiteux Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 40 minutes ago, Intrepido said: HMS Victory Classic (a model of the Victory with balconies) has a higher priority than Montanes, which is not even mentioned. Come on. If you knew what 'balconnet' means in French, you would understand why a Victory (or a Victoria) with 'balconies' is an high priority ! 3

Chromey Posted December 21, 2019 Posted December 21, 2019 pls pls dont make crafting harder, keep it the way it is.
Arvenski Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Do we know which Rotterdam we're getting? Threedecks.org lists like 21 ships with that name, including quite a few which sound like they'd be about the size I'd expect a "combat Indiaman" to be.

It was a paint of an Indiaman stern called Rotterdam which may never been build. So the combat indiaman that we will get may be based on the pictures (plan and pictures were proposed, but by what we found out, never been build) So it might be a recreation just like the generic frigate based on similar ships.
Farrago Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 @admin this may already be in the plan but part of the new player experience should be 1. Basics of purchasing a ship, repairs, and cannons, and then outfitting the ship. 2. Taking Econ missions and what ships you can use to fulfill them and where 3. I feel like I see a good number of questions related on how to board/capture or loot. That may need more as well. 4. Remind new captains that the tutorials are a must but the exams — at least as currently designed — are not mandatory to complete right away. Thanks. 1

We are a clan composed entirely of Chinese. All the Chinese clans and we are very interested in adding china as a nation. We have a few questions to ask: First, Whether adding China to the game has been decided? Second, If it has been determined, what do we need to do to achieve it? Third, does China have a Capital? Thank you. Please reply. This will be a great move to bring China as a Nation, into the Game and should have there own capital . This will help game numbers and DLC Sales

I mean i‘m German, but i don‘t want(ed) Prussia or any other German state of that time to be in game, because they simply held no real possesions in the Carribean!

Well actually they did just pay the colony there and wasn't a big nation at war in the carribean. But they hold atleast 1 port 1

Plenty of space in the Gulf of Mexico to put 1 port in for any of the so called "impossible" nations who need a place to be able to grow from. imho would make for better gameplay 1
Conte D. Catellani Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Maybe more space on south and north? So with China also Italian maritime republics could join the game. A lot of flags, ships, trade items 😊 Edited February 5, 2020 by Conte D. Catellani 2
