    Bombs - anti personnel, not anti hull

    Hey all, just thought id mention something interesting i found on bombs. http://mysite.du.edu/~jcalvert/hist/navalwar.htm So bombs were more like a fragmentation grenade than explosives designed to shatter the hull. If thats true its a good thing the build mod disabled bombs on everything...

    Ship weight vs Cargo weight vs Speed

    Hey everyone, just wanted to point people in the direction of an interesting source on the relationship between a ship's weight and decrease in speed when weight increases. Ingame, this does occur (complete with sinking lower in the water, very well done guys!) and costs around 10-20%...

    Period correct ships

    Hi everyone, another topic, this time on the ships that appear in the different time periods. I know that many ships are already restricted in terms of the period when they will appear, but I wonder with ship packs and an ever expanding roster of ships, if these restrictions shouldnt be more...

    Boarding Mechanics

    Hi everyone, ive had another idea id like to look at. Ive been pondering how to 'improve' boarding and by improve, i mean making it more difficult to board vastly superior ships. Ive concluded that aside from more crew in the boarding battle etc, the easiest way is to simply make it more...

    AI Sailing into the wind

    Hi everyone, ive been pondering a bit about the problem of AI sailing into the wind (stupid morons) and obviously getting stuck and going nowhere. Id like to change that. I was hoping to have someone with in depth knowledge of the game code point me in the right direction however, as i am not...

Great...

    POTBS - Player skill vs RPG skill

    Hey all, one thing i cannot glean from any of the trailers or devlogs is just how much of an RPG this game will be. To give you an idea what i mean, look at say Pirates of the Carribbean - youve got the RPG elements for the player, and they definitely have an effect, but say with guns, they...

    Weather Update At Sea

    I just wanted to ask two things - First, could we have a setting in either internalsettings.h or buildsettings.h that specifies how LONG between updates. This is so we can fine tune it ourselves, as i personally think the default time is too short. In the meantime, does anyone know what file...

    Pre Build 13 weapon availability

    I have an 'issue' with the pre build 13 modpack, which i installed recently. Its a great achievement; astounding in many ways, but unfortunately its 'toggles' for some mods are less than satisfactory. I did not find the handgun ammo mod to my liking (no offense to its author), nor did i like...

    Sailing without the map - setting the records straight

    Right i have made this topic solely to add my input to and clarify the topic on the question of sailing between islands without using the map - In short - not possible! I have extensively tried this myself some months ago in build 10 - the situation hasnt changed either - and found that quite...

    Build 12 Problem - Not sure about version

    Hey all i recently dusted off POTC again and installed build 12 onto a fresh install, repeating the installer several times to make sure it got all the files. I wasnt sure which version of POTC i owned so i checked all the options, including euro version support. Nways i couldnt start a new...
