Genevieve Malfleurs Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 10 hours ago, admin said: No its not ridiculous. Major driver of speed is length of the vessel. Hull speed is determined by keel length. And modified by skill and fitouts, and basic sailpower. It is the reality of seamanship. Theoretical 3rd rate will always be faster than theoretical frigate at best point just because its longer, if their sail power by weight is the same. If frigate is longer its base speed will be faster. But only at its best point. Overall. Get a fast ship and equip it for chase. Every ship is faster than every other ship in particular circumstances. There is always a faster (bigger) hammer. The myth that frigate is always faster than a 3rd rate must be cut by red hot axes from the minds clouded by older incorrect games. Its like Asbestos - must be removed from everywhere. don't you think length-width ratio influences more than absolute length? let alone geometry and depth in the water! 1

When was the last time you saw a 5th rate other then herc or trincomalee do OW pvp outside patrol zone? (we all know surprise is the general ruler in the patrol zone with carronades). In fact, when was the last time you saw a frigate vs frigate battle or heard of one where the guy that used longs won?

Say bye to new players because who needs them now anyway where numbers dont matter anymore On 5/21/2020 at 9:02 AM, Christendom said: Screening has been one of the most...if not the most consistent source of content creation in the game thus far. One could also say that the current downward trend in game pop is directly related to the lack of screening opportunities motivating players to log on. While we don’t really know what the proposed flag system will end up looking like, I’m one of the guys who remember the old system and wasn’t too sad to see it go. The introduction of the hostility system and 24/48 hr PB was a big plus for those who wanted to plan content ahead and not sit around in port all night every night. If you think this will help against the Russia Zerg.... I have a feeling it will end up benefiting Russia in the end. Ultimately the flaws in screening as content were DLC ships, capturable 1st rate nukes and a rather unclear definition of what’s griefing and what isn’t. I'm not sure guys that I support your skepticism about this. Just not enough info how its going to be done. However... In this current state RVR imbalance is killing the game too. New mechanic - maybe. No screening - maybe. But current mechanic - definitely. We have players now leaving the game as a whole clan as they got tired bashing their heads against the wall. Yes screening provides some action, however "screening" is the consequential outcome of the actual broken RVR mechanic in the first place that allowed larger nation to have dominance in RVR. You are voting for keeping the screen, but somehow server low population numbers is outside your concern? No mater what we believe, the fact is an inconvenient thing and it tells us that something in this game makes people to stop playing. Most of us say that this is the current RVR mechanic. An ability for a clan of 25 players to be able to attack AND enter PB of a clan of 250 players in my view is a great way to promote RVR among smaller clans and nations. Yes screening is gone, but it also opens a possibility for these small clans and new players to launch PB attacks of their own and participate in the actual PB rather be doomed to grief in screening all their RVR game time. Also because screening is gone maybe this time devs will finally get to work on Raid mechanic that would bring all of that. I always said that RVR as a conquest should be slower and fair for everyone even small clans, while one clan cannot be the owner of half of the map.Raid on the other hand should be instant action that can have screening mechanic and flag attacks etc while only granting the attacker a temporary ownership of the port. 5
Sir Texas Sir Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 15 hours ago, Henry Long Castle said: I said that numbers wont be important, it will be quality of players and quality of ships alone, so again what if russia has 100 top players and sweden or spain or whoever has 20? Lets say each port battle is about 10 players. Russia can flip or defend 10 port battles than. While Swede or Spain only 2 (or 4 if your saying each has 20). This would mean no matter what Russia gets instant wins on 6-8 out of 10 port battles and the other 2-4 is a 50/50 flip. While back when we had screeners the screeners don't have to have skill, just numbers to tie them up for 30 mins. Which would give more chance for a large nation with less skilled players against a large nation with a lot of skilled players. The other thing is fatigue of playing, we will use Sweden since they recently did try to fight the Russians. They burned out and than called a cease fire cause there 20 guys couldn't compete constantly against the 100 players that Russia had who didn't have to be there every night and every battle cause they had the numbers to fill in with average players if they need to. This happens a lot when clans go to help other nations and such. They are out number and eventually give up cause they get burned out. Remember many of us actually have jobs and family before all this Corvid 19 stuff started and even so many of us are busy with said family (kids home from school and such) even more than we where before. Not every one can sit in front of a computer all the time and just play games. Than for some of us Screening was the only group content we got. On weekends when I would have off I could actually make it to the EU clan port battles even if it wasn't my nations and do some screening and OW PvP. Take away that, now all I have is late night PvE cause there isn't much PvP going on during my very few hours of play time. So I been using my free time to not play games but to do other things, well not play this game at least as I'm having more fun in other games that allow me to play with my clan mates and friends. The only way they will fix the zerge nation problem is they need to have manditory factions and alliances that can't be controlled by the player, should be based off who has the most power in games and if they are standard nations or not (Impossible Nations and Pirates should never have alliances).
