    Solved Letter of Marque

    i was only once, in 1.5 years of gaming offered a licence from a governor. i buy them as the sneaky diplomat in pirate harbors. DO read the manual, and think a bit. you are french. If you come up there in front of they noses wearing a spanish flag in broad daylight, that smells like a bloody...

    Solved Letter of Marque

    you enter the spanish port... and even a letter of marque will not help you. a trading licence will. remember... wear a spanish-friendly flag when going there, or you will be shot before you can show your "friendly" intentions" to anyone. for a privateer licence: be even more friendly to the...

    Solved Newbie thats benn growing

    you get the optional skills IF you have an officer that must have them. (an officer without skills is not giving you the options) they become available if the situation is right, in the same manner that you can choose ammo type "enter", and then the Arrows to choose.

    Released Dutch Pinnace 1627

    That talkis seriously good. the only dude who has an overview of the battle is the one on top. when standing on deck, sometimes you don't see squat! depending on ship type, sails position, position on deck/ship walls...

    Need Help Boarding Issue

    wait for the patch and then start a new game... the answer is above :) "beta" is "beta"... ;) do NOT use it as a regular career making game - because some things, IMOPORTANT things are still broken... maybe. Use it to test and find bugs...

    Released Dutch Pinnace 1627

    i was looking for something like that... was "up there" once as well by pure coincidence. is she the only ship that has this option? I thought it was also on "surprise" or some others. Defnitely "the shizzle!!!"... a wonderful testimony of "out of the box thinking" by modders. modding ftw...

    Solved Ship combat destroys crew/leaves rest of ship untouched? Want to confirm it's not bugged. (GOF 2.0)

    there is still a round of powder/bullet in the cannon? you seem to be one greedy Pirate! i usually ask myself: can you trust this ship to hold up the trip for the next friendly port?(check stats) do you have a half-decent cap' to sail her, along with twice the minimum crew to spare? CAN i, with...

    Sailing 2.0

    Hey that would be much appreciated! I keep getting stuck... sometimes i manage to turn... manytimes not. It looks ridiculous... and i am glad its only a simulation of the elements. In real life i would have killed myself and my crew by now. Just by sheer incompetence.

    Solved Ship combat destroys crew/leaves rest of ship untouched? Want to confirm it's not bugged. (GOF 2.0)

    must be a GOF 2.0 "BETA" thing, because 1.2 or 1.3 reintroduced the "surrender" option. GOF 2.0 BETA is based on GOF 1.1 though... mwaahahhahaha:razz I regularly almost wipe out crews in GOF 1.3... less than 10% of the original count... and they surrender. No fight, no loss, experience gain...

    Solved Ship combat destroys crew/leaves rest of ship untouched? Want to confirm it's not bugged. (GOF 2.0)

    you play higher than i ever dared... "bosun" here. No approach: culverlines shoot farther. bigger ones even more. Make sure you outgun your opponent. Farther than chain shot goes ball shot. ball shot is aimed low, at enemy hull. To damage sails, aise the aim of your salvo above the red zone...

    Solved Ship Classes 3,2,1

    Mordaunt is a beaut... very very close to a "licorne" / unicorn. 52 28 pounders if you are lucky,, otherwise 20 to 24 pounders. Nimble, reacctive and afficient in the wind. Its a game that takes some patience....

    Solved Ship Classes 3,2,1

    They are Rare as hell... maybe 1 in 200 ships i see is one of the 3 top classes. when you see one, do not hesitate and make everything possible to get it. I am frustrated too because my favorite Big boys... WHEN i see them... they are in a Port of a Friendly nation. So i would pay a veeeery...

    Sailing 2.0

    wind 250°, still crabbing north at 6.1 kts... deck tilted 15°... now manual control of rudder and yards. do NOT touch that spanker, or it'll flip the ship off course by 30°! Yeeee-haaA! Shit man... this is the good stuff.

    Sailing 2.0

    This is much much better. Its not only about having the wind push your shoulders. that decreases your sail area that is exposed. having the nose slightly mis-aligned to the wind axis (into the wind, not in the wind shadow!), and thereby expose more sail area, will make more wind push onto the...
