    questions about Build 13

    So... can anyone confim that using carronades in 13 at very close range, say ships abreast distance will give me a worthwhile damage advantage over long guns? there should be a marked difference in damage caused at spitting distance than at the limit of their range? The reason I'm asking is...

    Quitting the game

    Thanks Pieter, I didnt try the old alt f4 method, because each time I wanted to quit, either I'd forgotten about the last time it locked up or was optimistic it would close down normally. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya2" border="0"...

    A few n00b questions on pre13

    Whish raises another point I forgot about. The long guns and carronades in the build have different ranges I know, but is there an advantage to get in close with carronades like there should be. Also, how can I adjust how easy a ship will surrender? is that just a question of tweaking the...

    A few n00b questions on pre13

    What do you mean with "crossing the T"? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> Its a Naval tactic of the era. Imagine the enemy vessel is the vertical part of the letter T and you are the attacking vessel...

    big convoy

    A similar thing happened to me last night. There we were, our 3 frigates limping back to Oxbay after plundering a Crapaud patrol when a Dutch patrol instigated an engagement. Blimey! 12 or so 1st raters appeared from the gloom. I say gloom because visibility was poor, and I like to play the game...
