Hey Pirates, Seafarers, Previous Landlubbers,  As many of you know, I have only officially been the CM for ...6 months? 1 Year?  I really have no idea. What is time?   I just have a few questions for you folks.  I am always actively trying to tweak things and find new ways to improve our community/communication.  So, with that in mind, I just have a few questions.  If you decide to respond, PLEASE be chill.   Give me some detail if you can?  Ok, Here we go.  1.  If I were to dedicate some…

Many moons ago I started the process of trying to put together a series of "guides" that outlined the various mechanics and math within the game. I kind of gave up on that dream after starting a new job and being too busy to dedicate the time to writing everything that I wanted out and putting it on the forums. I have started to find more free time and have dusted off my handy dandy pile of post it notes and taken up this venture once again. Over the coming days/weeks/period of time, …

Hey Pirates,  Back in March, we posted an article titled "The Future of PVP"   ( To review the original article CLICK HERE ) However, we wanted to follow up with a bit more clarification and information.  The Future of PvP - Where are we, and what's next? There’s been a few questions cropping up around PvP so we wanted to provide more information to players, and build upon our previous post - The Future of PvP. As a quick refresher, our goal was to empower players with a bro…

Captains, When I started this game I had no clue what I was doing, so I would come to forums and ask questions.  I got some wonderful help from the community and the CM/MOD team that was here then. What we see in forums now is a player that comes here and ask a legitimate question.  Before a community member or the CM/MOD team can try and help a troll has belittled them because they didn't know the answer to their own question.  We have the posters that come here to rant with 'WTFKIX, you bro…

Confusing as that sentence is under the graphic the faction does give a 20% boost to the relevant turrets. eg chose ballistic (Forsaken) and any ballistic turrs get a 20% damage boost. You can change faction from the 1st of each month for free.

@MillionDlrBil Like the guy above said - I am not interested in playing a game that requires a freaking PhD in battle piratesology. Could we make this "game" a little bit closer to a game where people can just, you know, PLAY? And not have to study 50,000 permutations and hidden tricks to just, you know, PLAY. Am I asking to much? I work two jobs and don't have time to study all the nuances of all the myriad possibilities and deep knowledge? Could this just be a "GAME" THA…

You must be in the top tier meta of the game, congratulations on your achievements, you must be proud. The rest of us mere mortals are certainly able to fail in bases with Longshots though. Troll.

Yeah. I think it even says it somewhere? Might be on the pop up when click on the Build Tab. But, the bottom part is clipped off and cannot be seen. I seem to recall it was said or it was somewhere.

I have to say bugs in this game don't get fixed if they only cost the player .My guard still stacks on top of my dock every time I log in even if I put them in open water away from all land . I can't enter battle every time there is a event going on that cost me more in repairs .I'm at the point it is not worth my time sending tickets no more on just the 2 I have sent video with the ticket and nothing . And if you are so busy more reason to drop discord and stick to the forums the game built .I…

Maybe because the replay can't replicate what a hack added as the replay does not have the hack calculation change?

FM - target 225 damage? Locked Hot

Your damages are high, but the target damages are fine. They can be complete for about 20 minutes damage, in fact my alliance members are boasting 15 mins with a crew but I'm yet to try it.  If you don't have the fleet to hit the latest and greatest target, choose one more appropriate for you. The 233 being the highest paying target deals less damage and is pretty easy to complete.  Closing as answered, the round about circles aren't helping anyone.

Some weapons have an "upon death" feature. For us its minor and ineffective. When the draconian princess has a weekend fling with some reaver horde, drugs them, steals their secrets while they are unconscious and uses that technology against us...dead turrets can do the darnedest things.

To build a new module on top of an existing one simply click that module and choose "build". You will be taken to your blueprints and can build anything available. The old module is now part of your inventory. All upgrades and refit(non mega items) are kept with that inventory module. HINT: dont spend time and resources upgrading & refitting modules that you do not intend to keep active. Changing a module is as simple as selecting the current module then "view inven…

I have seen portals do the most amazing things in planner. I have returned to my base to find portals randomly placed. Floating around without being attached to any land. If players are willing to drop gold in order to rotate portals in planner someone will discover that difficult fix.
