Warn Noobs they need trader ship!

[Kubrat]

Bonjour, Pryvit

Not a day goes by without seeing the same behavior from one or many new players.

1. ohh, I can make some money delivering passengers

2. Let's go

3. WTH, the darn enemy port wont let me in, what a stupid game

Typically at this point they are far from home, alone and friendless. In many cases it leads to atrocity as the passengers are heartlessly thrown overboard in a fit or rage or despair. Surely we are better than this?

My suggestion (s).

1. If a player is lower than command of 180 men or some other cut-off point (just to draw a line in the sand and reduce unnecessary nag screens ), if they have a warship in 'main' when they take a mission they get a warning. (You are loading your mission into a warship - you wont be able to enter enemy ports to deliver it in this vessel. with a simple OK to continue)

2. Another suggestion, give every noob a note for a Trader Lynx.

Thank you for considering my suggestion!

I see this almost daily in GB Nation chat. Tlynx note is a great idea.

[Farrago]

1000 times yes!

[Smoothie]

But why a trader lynx? A trader cutter would do it.

The most popular question of new players in all Chat channels for sure.

But Devs are already in the process of introducing some OW Tutorial missions for new players. Most probably they will solve that issue that way.

make basic cutter a trader cutter

Short range capital base passenger missions is all that new player needs to start with, say a cache of 10 missions to use up, after they would move onto the game generated missions.

why not both?

Nah. Why should i be the only one to sail for 2 hours only to find out i can't enter port. This is a rite of passage that every player has to experience! Stop spoiling the noobs

The only thing spoiled is the taste in someone's mouth when they sail across the map only to find the game forgot to mention there is no way to smuggle themselves into a port.

Why not let all 7th rates "sneak" in enemy ports?

Basically make your own port a haven for raiders in schooners ?!

They are not 'raiders' ... they are called 'entrepreneurs'.

I resent your tone, sir!
