    Convoy Strike

    Landed at Cuico port and Luci told to berth extra ships which I did. But I can't enter the governor residence. The door is locked and when I re-enter the town, Luci kept asking me to berth ships even though I only have my flagship in the fleet now.

    @Greg, Btw, in early explorer period, how come I don't see Carrack type of ships. Is that already kinda phased out by 1600s? I thought Europeans still traveled to Asia such as Japan in Carracks. The famous Portuguese black ship during Sengoku Jidai was a big Carrack. Another...

    I am not so sure about "SP_Postillionen". I got a 6th rate frigate as shown in the screenshot below. I have seen pirate using better frigate than that Blood's ship in Ardent storyline. Anyways, I believe there is definitely one for you to use. Also, you worried about "SP_Postillionen" being...

    Going back to your earlier list: AI ship firing other types of ammo: I am ok with the AI tactic. But if you sell off all other ammo and just leave it with chain shots, it won't fire as if their eyes can only see balls in their magazine lockers. In real life, you would probably fire off...

    @Greg. If you bump fast war galleon into tier 3, that would do the trick. Maybe reducing a bit cargo capacity and max hull value would be golden. Btw, where can you find out the information about national specialty on ships? I also notice French ships usually have more crew and higher max...

    Nope. I am NOT counting the bow chasers. Please see the screenshot attached here. I have highlighted the bow chaser in yellow and side battery in white for you. Remember this ship only has 2 bow chasers, one on each side so the other one is not visible in this picture. 1X bow chaser and 19X...

    I don't know how historically Spanish did to their fast war galleon. It seems they have found a solution for a wonder weapon. That ship is not only fast, maneuverable, and pack a heavy punch with their main battery of heavy guns but also has a huge belly like a merchant. On top of that, the...

    Observation #6: Is there any way to allow street vendors to sell foods and rum? Sometime when you run out of food and if you reputation and relations are extremely bad (such as Terror of High Sea), store owners don't sell you food and rum then you basically get stuck on the island. Perhaps let...

    Observation #5: On Centurion class 4th rate, there is no way to access the bow of the ship. Probably need put a ladder there so that one can get up to the bow.

    Need Help How to gain rank quickly

    I am playing Ardent storyline and enlisted in Royal Navy. However, gaining ranks is painfully slow. There are only two types of quests: ship hunting and smuggler. Each Smuggler one gives me only 2 points and likewise for the ship hunting. You will need 300+ points to get to rank 10 where you...

    Observation #4: Discrepancy in the number of guns between stats screen and actual ship in 3D world for heavy frigate. The stats screen shows 42 guns, with 18 per side. The actual count in 3D world is 19 guns per side, with 44 in total (2X19 + 2 forward chasers and 4 stern chasers). Please see...

    Observation #3: AI in your fleet doesn't seem to use other ammo types except regular ball shots. I tested it by limiting my other ships with chain shots and grape shots only. Then they just sit there doing nothing. But I noticed enemy AI do use other ammo types. My mast was once shot away by...

    In the stock game, there was no Katana. It was some other sword you find in one of the chests. But anyway, I totally agree with you. Katana needs much better stats. In the meantime, NS sword needs to be nerfed.

    Observation #2: Again, just another game-play aspect comment. Nicholas Sharp's sword is way too good for such an easy quest (you don't even need to leave the town). And you can get it at relatively low level. Compared that to Drake's sword, which requires accomplishment of a much longer and...

    Maybe, we can classify ship based on load capacity rather than MaxCrew. Heavier/larger ship would undoubtedly warrant a larger load capacity. But, my main point is less of a ship classification, but more on game-play experience. Perhaps, you shouldn't award a player with such a good ship as...

    Hi this latest update has been great. Much more stable than previous versions. I love it! However, just a few comments and feedback to the game-play aspect of this mod: Observation #1: Cultist Heavy Frigate vs Fast War Galleon: The former is a level 3 ship which is pretty thoroughly...

    Discussion Ship's inertia

    That can't be in the real life. If that's the case then you can't really tack into the wind. In order to tack into the wind, a ship needs inertia. If it stops almost at once then you won't have residue speed to tack across the wind to the other side.

    Unconfirmed Bug Upper left hand corner icons no longer showing

    Hmm... Weird. I restarted a new career. Now the problem is gone. I spot another weird thing. I was playing Charles Ardent and I entered the main square in Havanna. There are are a few doors in that little yard to the left of the store. I tried to open those (obvious they don't open)...

    Unconfirmed Bug Upper left hand corner icons no longer showing

    No one has an answer to this issue? Right now, it is kinda annoying. Especially when I go to a new town searching for Tavern or Store. I could be standing right in front of one but don't recognize it.

    Unconfirmed Bug Upper left hand corner icons no longer showing

    Hi I am currently playing the latest build (as of Aug, 2021). I noticed that the icons at upper left hand corner are no longer displaying. Things like tavern, store, shipyard etc. This bug is only restricted to places. People and characters icons are still showing. This is my first time...
