    New name for New Horizons Build 15

    I know I'm late to the post, but here's some thoughts: Not to be a naysayer, but I feel like "Beyond New Horizons" just sounds kind of clunky. The new "New Horizons" bit is solid, though. What about just "Beyond Horizons" or, "Waves of Freedom"? Or, if it's the first introduction to future...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    I'm about 3/4 of the way through the Tales of a Seahawk, and I very well might start over and play "Hoist the Colours" once I'm done. I was utterly disappointed that part of the main-quest is to betray Silehard....and to think of all the time I spent improving my relationship with England to get...

    Yes, I'm still playing "Tales of a Sea Hawk" as a naval officer. Interesting story! It's awesome to hear about the origins of the mod, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share it with me and others. I think in the meantime I'm going to focus on the main story line. I find it...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    Thanks for your thoughtful response. I feel like there's a lot of incentive to replay the game over and over again. I'm still a Naval Officer and intend to keep at it until the end of the game. After this playthrough, I'll consider starting a new character/story line. I'm at the point now where...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    Thanks for you suggestion! So – my way of making easy money is this. I spoke to the intro tutorial character from the beginning of the game (Harold?) and he told me I should sell gold in Martinique because it fetches at a good price. I kept this in mind for literally the entire duration of the...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    Ok – THAT makes sense. I do think at some point they sold some of my cargo. Will take note to not go to the shipyard during smuggling missions. Honestly I thought those missions would be harder. I'm glad I was wrong. Smuggling is something I want to look into as well since it doesn't seem...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    Thanks for your thoughts! So – I had two ships, and I think what happened was the ship had very minimal cargo (like 600-700?) and it actually overflowed to the other ship. In earlier saves that seemed to be the case. However, it doesn't explain how I ended up with 143 of tobacco. I suspect I...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    It's absolutely heartbreaking to have your reputation go from 20 to -60. For some reason this kept happening to me. I realized this was the governor smuggling quest, and that unbeknownst to me, somehow some of the cargo I was supposed to trade with the smugglers got sold. I literally could not...

    Thanks for the tip! I think I'll stick with him and see where the quest line goes!

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    I'm part of the British! I chose the default storyline, but chose Horatio Hornblower, NOT the Horatio Hornblower story line. I thought one was only choosing the character at the beginning – i.e. what you look like. Haha I won't tell the admiral – I figured I'd sell stuff to make a few extra gp...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    I had the Heavy Lugger (8) and received a Naval Cutter (7). I might do only one upgrade for now, instead of two, to skip over the cutter ship. Unless you think this is a good ship? Also, does it just empty your entire cargo? Is it better to sell everything off before the promotion?

    Update: upgraded rank and got a much much much crappier ship with a lot less cargo space and cannons.

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    Wait – just found your own answer on a different post: "Each time you capture or sink an enemy ship, you earn relation points. Press F2, then go to "Relations". Your score with Britain should have gone up a few points. When it is high enough, it turns green. That's the signal that you are...

    Can't Swap Nor Buy Ships

    I'm the rank of a Naval Captain! Interesting – is this the standard/default game type (the one with Nathanial Hawk)? Do I get the restrictions lifted by furthering my quests? Is this basically end game material? A shame to have captured so many awesome ships without being able to control them haha.
