i think there is just one good reason to play official pvp = you like combat at all times (+2k h exp) solo player was super boring for me but pve was somewhat ok if you found a decent spot to build...

you guys do know that there are player or resource trackers for atlas? a google search might help... one example: https://atlas-world.net/home

i will checkout the current state of atlas after the wipe but im pretty pessimistic... that said is it still possible to store your tames in a freeport?

well i think if you just build small boxes/houses for beds out of wood/stone and spread them around nobody bothers to claim that... sure some might destroy the door and kill the bed but thats easy to rebuild... just for storage you can do the same but as said hidden somewhere for double "dodge cannons + detection" protection...

still dont fully understand how this system works BUT it seems to be super easy to steal anything on lawless... what happens if you build stone walls/gates around the tower to protect it? idk but it looks like hiding your stuff is the best way to go instead of building a big fortress...

one of the more frustrating things if you choose an island to settle down... if you can not find metal nodes or if they are on top of the mountain... if the tames you want "early bear" or "late elephant" are xx grids away... most of the time i just try to find an island where the most heavy resources are easy to get... oil or similiar light stuff can be shipped... can you still put tames in freeport with your gold? the sad thing is you could still kill the tames in a freeport...

how does the claim system work atm? lets say you build up a base on a random island after the wipe and somebody claims that island... can that guy just demolish all your stuff? still like that?

i wont tell how i protect my stuff and i have to agree that the game should not be played like that... that is not true but adds more protection if it looks like that i gues... protected my stuff like that while in large companies and also solo... farmed rare resources or gold... even in war my stuff was pretty safe... stupid but it works...

The Armored Dock is a structure built in shallow water to dock a ship inside of. It must be destroyed before the ship can be damaged. so putting too much weight on a ship is no thing anymore? (also to stay afk and hidden on a ship with a million ton of weight) ive seen some twitch streams on PVE showing me some shady stuff... https://www.twitch.tv/elementallegion/clip/ViscousMistySkunkAliens?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time

just last season? i did play since day 1 and it was never not laggy/buggy... xD well considering an armored dock to protect your ship is a waste of time for small companies or solo players... same is true for a stone fort to protect your tames even if you put 1000 puckles around and inside of it... that said if you have the time to grind +8h a day and have an active company with 24h shifts sure then you can enjoy larger ships that maybe do not get sunk overnight... the state of this game is kinda sad but i still play it from time to time...

that it should be no issue is true but it has not changed since when? well 5k gold for a schooner is also a joke...

you can not protect your ship or tames as solo player but you can protect everything else... even if you are in a large company it is pretty hard to protect ships and tames... pretty confused about the gold cost of ships as it is super fun to build ships... aslong as this stays i never build something larger than a sloop... (actually i do not enjoy sailing cuz it takes so long but the fights were fun) personally i think that if you can not get over it and insist on playing solo -> go play pve harsh words? actually even if you would be able to claim land "as solo or -5 player company" any other player or company would strip you just for fun... IF all ships + tames etc would be safe as soon as you are offline the whole server would be cluttered/stressed... players tend to build xxx ships and tame xxx creatures...

probably just lawless...

what for are the numbers next to the resources? how many nodes? anyways thx thats a start... maybe the devs should include a map like this ingame... sure they might say "but but we want you to explore" but why force us to tab the game and look it up on an external site?

well i gues if i ever dive deeper into atlas again i will never build a ship bigger than a sloop... :s
