Q:What are the percentages next to skills?
e.g Leadership 79% (+76) 24

So I have 24 leadership, I assume the numbers in brackets is my bonus from items/books, but what is the percentage number?

LOL, I know the feeling…you somehow pull off an epic win, get this great ship while still a relatively low rank character, and afterward thinking, “Great, now what am I going to do with this ship? I can’t afford it and my sailing skills suck and now have a bunch of reduced skills across the board.”

Anyway, although it’s still a bit of a task,…[Read more]

I love that idea! Thank you again Jeffrey, for both your responses and for all the effort you and MK put in.

Ah, perhaps my ship isn’t big enough yet then, only my fighters follow me around the ship and I seem to remember from NH that you could find all your officers in the hold (at the moment I have just a few recalcitrant dutch waiting to be ransomed). A filter would be nice, though better yet would be a new UI altogether. In the f2 menu it’s not so…[Read more]

A letter of marque will allow you to go to the governor of that nation and start a ‘nation questline’. This will provide a way to quickly increase rank, title, some money, and possibly gain some of the rarer weapons/items.

Keep in mind, once you do one nation’s questline, you will not be able to do any other nation questline in that same game.…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree that the ship/character variety is the spice that draws me to the game, keeps things interesting.

I tend to focus on bugs/glitches; those are the things that tend to aggravate me the most, so I also tend to spend most of my effort repairing them. MK has mentioned UI changes to me, and while I don’t believe there…[Read more]

Thanks Jeffrey!

I was never sure which flag to be flying. A follow up question; Do I only need the letter of marque if I intend on seeking out fights? at the moment I’m mainly doing quests and propositions, so when I do fight other nations they initiate.

I frequently agree to meet captains only to rent a room at the tavern because that same…[Read more]

I will have to look up a couple of these, but I do know the answer for a few of them right now.

Q: Does it matter which flag I fly during propositions? i.e should I be switching to a pirate flag before I raid the beach or convoy in question?
A: I don’t think it much matters. If you engage open-sea, when close enough for recognition as a threat,…[Read more]

Q: is there any penalty for turning down propositions in the tavern?
A: I will have to look this one up.

Q: is there any penalty for agreeing to talk but then not showing up?
A: Kind of…if you agree and don’t show up, the other captain’s relation to…[Read more]

Really enjoying the mod, I like the focus on realism, the added ports and the variety in ship designs. The biggest issue I have is with the UI, but there’s little to nothing that can be done about that (just stuff like; it’s hard to trade with your crew, the inventory menu is messy, the interface is very clunky). I’d love to see a full independent…[Read more]

When boarding a surrendered ship I lose crew, in this specific instance I lost 100 men (of my 250). I did check and the last post about this bug was from 2 years ago, so not sure if it’s something new or something never resolved.
