boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted January 14, 2019 You had 5 boats and couldn't put up any kind of fight against SOD? I'd agree that SOD need to be changed so they don't camp zone borders, but why weren't you able to fight them more effectively with that many boats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asking the devs to change the game to eliminate that risk because you have failed to mount guns knowing the threat is out there is asking them to change their game to suit your unwillingness to accept risk. Survival games are about risk and loss. Based on the information you've provided, I don't see any compelling reason the devs should accede to your wishes.

[GP] Guybrush Threepwood 626 Posted January 14, 2019 I agree that SOTD should not spawn on grid borders. After all every time you cross into a new grid your ship takes damage from that alone, but to spawn right by a SOTD, well it's not well planned. They should be further away if possible.

I would keep an eye on the forums and maybe patch notes in particular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You maintain momentum when phasing and depending on your loading/ping you can appear quite some distance on the other side. Add a few SoDs Near the border and you load in under fire. Always cut sails to half mast last second and cross over at an angle. Edited January 14, 2019 by Nari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always cut sails to half mast last second and cross over at an angle. Just before crossing I try to turn close to parallel to the zone wall. If I do encounter SotD on the other side I'm already half way into a turn to cross back over. The problem I encountered there was when trying to flee from a hurricane with an SotD that kept getting shoved into me, crossing over to find 5 camped on the border and then having to decide which was the 'lesser of two weevils.'
