Hi guys, OP I understand your frustration. in a way I can see merit in the design for the longer claims if you have less flags. I personally only claimed 2 spots and it has worked out fine for me. One of those spots were raided and the raiders attempted to claim while I was offline for 6 hours sleeping IRL. I managed to jump on and sail a ship over and save my base. So that for me is a godsend as a small group player. that being said, I do agree that the claims should require materials like tool cupboards in rust do to maintain. Otherwise they should decay along with everything in the claim to increase server performance and free up some land for everybody to use . I personally wish you could put down a max of 3 claims per player to stop claim spamming. Goodluck with your ship ship yard buddy. if you are on NA PVP and you need help I’d be happy to assist. regards, TRADER MAN CO. Polar Express

Chill man. It’s a game. I’ve seen you post this kind of thing on a lot of threads. People are just trying to figure this game out. You don’t need to be so aggressive. You might be better off on reddit or something bro. I’m not attacking you. I’m just concerned you may be taking any one else’s posts as a personal attack on the game you clearly love so much. I say this objectively mate. Kind regards poral express

Looking for NA PVP small groups to join my sector. We are setting up a neutral trade zone. Happy to take anyone. Currently allied with all surrounding sectors including a mega company (500 members and their allies totalling over 2000 members) DM me for details. Regards, TRADER MAN CO.

Hey mate sorry I just saw this. I’m looking for players to join a neutral shared claim. It’s a bit cheesy but I’d like to set up a neutral trade zone. If you or anyone else is interested let me know.

Hey blue diamond, what is your location. DM me. What price are you asking for a schooner with large speed, no Gunports. Regards Ps. Cute doggy my dude. TRADER MAN CO.

OP THESZERDI is correct my dude. It’s al little tedious to get set up but at this stage that is your solution my friend. Also with the new claim mechanic it is now possible to steal vast amounts of territory from the mega companies very quickly. It sounds dangerous but I assure you it works. Just check out the live playatlas map to see where the mega companies have their main bases (areas where there is a high concentration of claims) and claim territory where those same mega companies only have 2-3 claims. You shouldn’t be contested as they most likely don’t have beds there. I did this yesterday and we were taking land very easily in a good area. Also make sure you don’t claim too much land or otherwise your own flags will be quicker to capture. This last update has been a godsend for smaller groups. additionally, you can now share land with allies. This has led to my company and 6 other small companies join forces without the need to merge into one company. It has also helped each member of each company specialise in a specific skill tree to ensure we have everything available to all groups. It’s kinda like a cheesy roleplayer town atm but it really works well. Good luck my dude. i hope any of what I just said is helpful for your group. If you need a spot I can try to help you if you are on NA PVP.

YeH I think cyclones need to be changed aswell. Maybe if they moved the wind like they already do, sucking your ship towards them. But instead of them spawning like 30 cyclones there’s just one or two. I’d even be okay if they slowly filled your ship with water or destroyed things like wooden ceilings without ships wheel on them or ripped your sails if you have them down.

Agreed there’s waaaaay too many. They box you in leaving you completely unable to do anything. This happens everywhere I sail and it means every time i sail I lose a ship to this goofy crap. That or they are on the sector border resulting in ramming them before the server loads you in and you sink. There needs to be a lot less of these things and killing vast numbers of them doesn’t seem to alleviate the problem at all.

Agreed, I’m too scared to take any ships out because there is no way to predict their movement and there are just too many of them. It really limits opportunities to test anything like the diving attachment etc. not being able to avoid them when the player ship is reliant on the wind but ships of the damned are not affected by the wind and also their derpy pathing that has them randomly stopping, turning and moving a short distance to repeat is game killing. There needs to be a lot less of them, make them stronger and unable to sit on sector borders and finally have some form of pathing which sees them travel in a straight line for a lot longer before altering. Maybe up the loot to actual items( master craft pistols etc) not just blueprints and boost their health and damage. 1-3 per server should be plenty or Change it so they only spawn in lawless/ powerstone servers. these are just ideas, i understand the devs put up with a lot of complaints. Thankyou for reading. Much love and keep up the great work you are doing on this fantastic game.

Thankyou devs it has been fixed and I got my sloop back! I appreciate the speed at which you rectified this. Well done. kind regards, keep up the great work on your game. Polar express

Hey devs, there is a fake island( not on the map and doesn’t render until you are inside it) it’s in B2 on the western side of the sector. I would really appreciate a roll back for this server by 20 mins and the “island” to be an island or not be anything at all. Like as in not disruptive to players trying to sail through tornados during fog and being chased by ships of the damned all at the same time. As I found myself just prior to being stuck in this fake island. i appreciate your help. Regards and keep up the great work, this game is awesome.
