We got our Live map working! https://www.atlasplayers.com

This is awesome to see! Thank you!

My partner and I joined this realm a couple of days ago. So far everyone we have encountered has been nice and its been a great experience so far! Thanks for having this private realm, its a much nicer game experience with how the official servers are right now.

Definitely understood that the map only shows the biggest, meaning that the areas are not as well protected. I don't plan on getting a claim for free.

Oh yeah, I was just pointing it out just in case!

Hey all,

Just lost another schooner tonight due to grief-sinking which got me thinking about ideas as to improve the current system. 

What do you guys think about for PvE, ships don't take damage when over-encumbered, they just can't move period and are at a dead stop. I think it's pretty silly that a ship can so easily be destroyed by a few extra kgs. This solves a few issues:

1. people can't all jump onto a ship and sink it through the weight difference

2. prevents people from deliberately sinking ships for wreck diving salvage

3. it would adhere to the expected PvE ruleset which is why people typically roll on PvE servers to begin with

 

As for PvP servers:

I think the damage should be severely nerfed to something in the realm of 1-50 damage per tick (depending on the weight being applied) OR vastly increase the time between ticks so it doesn't make a ship sinkable in a few minutes. 

1. this allows people to have a reasonable amount of time to respond to threats and actually make use of ship and player battles

 

I know people will counter this with the people on rafts that grief dry-docked ships from launching by blocking the path, but what about pushing another ship causes drift?

I have to agree with the PVE suggestion. It makes the most sense. I would add the suggestion of what they do with Ark for players getting on platform saddles, where they slide off. With what you suggested and then that it would probably reduce the ship sinking griefing completely until the next bug is found.

The PVP suggestion sounds very reasonable as well.

I understand completely. I am thinking about moving out myself from lawless after checking these interactive maps. People made it sound like everything was all claimed, but it seems like there is still a lot of room out there.

There are many places, but with the current problem with the claim system its hard to tell who has left or not. Also the "Dynamic" over world map showing territories doesn't show smaller company claims. Just the really big ones, so it's hard to tell what is taken and what isn't.
