    Build 14 Beta 1

    I love random relations, keep it as it is since we can disable the option easily :P It's already off by default, grrr...

    Ship of the Day

    That sloop of war is absolutely lovely. Some background info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Constellation_%281854%29 Her small size wasn't a weakness - she was armed with shell firing cannons (likely French Paixhan type or similar) which easily devastate wooden ships.

    Trading missions

    I thought the trade profitability rumors were a nice touch. We can easily add on to the rumors selection. Oh, and do you think we should make some goods dependant on player ranks? Hauling gold at lv 1 (when you still have a fast and hard to intercept lugger) is a sure fire way to get a good...

    Baltimore Steam Propulsion Laboratory

    Yes, anything white is good :P So, anyone sailing the secret weapon of Napoleon yet?

    HMS Surprise

    I noticed the long distance between fore and mainmasts; part of me is yelling "steam power conversion" with the proper big stacks :)

    STORM modeling team

    Being 4th officer on a civilian capital ship has to be fun. Theres your compensation :)

    San Martin galleon

    Weathered as in derelict? SC had finished that already I think. As for playable, weathered skin, that's the effect I intended from my work; the base texture was pretty much as new as Ikea furniture on display.

    HMS Bellona

    I might not have said it before but that model looks absolutely stunning, love the little details everywhere. One question I'd like to bring up from San Martin's modeling is hull thickness - was there any historical reference in the blueprint for the ship for this value? Reason for query is...

    Willemstad Builders' Trials

    What we have there with the sloop is a game engine limitation. It does not allow the ship to 'sail well at all points of sail'. Ships that can sail well in close haul are thus penalised quite harshly when running. This does however make for interesting balancing where the sloop unlike that in...

    Torrent

    Just like in the real world, to achieve this we need persistence. Just because we got ignored once doesn't mean we will never be featured if we keep bombarding them with applications. Once again, brainstorm for a suitable corporate-like introduction to our project so we have a fighting chance...

    Trading missions

    We may have talked about making the merchants' trading assignments more interactive during the December runup to Beta. This involved removing the time limit for each trading run (in those days, they didn't have RFID tags and GPS tracking) but rewarding the player for deliveries made under a...

    Willemstad Builders' Trials

    I do accept the apology and agree that such situations should not be cropping up; but as such WBT is still a tyre fresh from the shop and hasn't actually been worn-in per se with our playerbase. As you say, the actual gameplay effects need time to be charted down, new tactics and other intricate...

    Seafaring fantasies

    No promises, but after a short break with Build and a long Chinese New Year festive season ahead, some new documentation is bound to come up somewhere. The first of these will probably be ship feature related (San Martin needs more exposure), and it seems I need a new gameplay log.

    HMS Bellona

    It does come to mind in the modeler's perspective that building the hull up to the first deck, setting it aside for a frigate, then building up upon it for a heavier combatant might be easier than chopping the top deck off after building the lineship proper. Since once you start chopping things...

    Jack Aubrey's first own ship, the HMS Sophie

    Confusing ship designations are part and parcel of the Age of Sail - various great powers classified their ships accordingly, thus a sloop of war (which may be termed a corvette in France) as aforesaid bears no resemblance to a sloop. Similar 'confusion' exists with the bark or barque - the...

    Willemstad Builders' Trials

    In all fairness there was a glitch in an earlier installation of Alpha 10.1 that kept defaulting to Arcade mode despite the settings in Options. This, in concert with an Alpha 10 Realistic mode save created an interesting hybrid between the two. We fixed it by forcing realistic mode to default...

    Torrent

    Okay we're not making alot of progress in this department - we can indeed collaborate with existing seeders of less legal torrents - simply posting "OMG Build 14 Beta is out!!!" as a comment will draw attention. Also, visit Mininova and consider signing up for Content Distribution as a...
