[Outdated?]New system

[Detritus]

I'm sorry to bring this up again but I feel it's necessary.

Since the changes to the cost to buy new ships the game has slowed to a crawl.

Under the old system I used to come online daily to play but now because of the time it takes to generate cash I only need to come here about once a week.

It's taking forever to build up my fleets. I know I can use the new plunder function to build gold but that requires some decent fighting ships and with the fighters I have the damage repair costs almost as much as the plunder taken.

I have 100 trade galleons travelling 1 hour 13 minutes between Goroum and Pania and it has taken months to build and equip a single ship of the line. I hate to think how long it will take a new player.

Under the old system a new player could rise quickly through the rankings, if they were willing to put in the time and effort, as I proved by finishing second in the last world. Now it is impossible to move fast due to the time it takes to raise cash.

I hate to be negative but I really think this has been a step backwards.

I can only agree. I'm new. And i got no chance. Have saved money for a new ship. I bought a second cutter. But i got about 5 plunder (Most from Ship of the Line's) a day and so it was only a matter of time until i lost my second ship. I don't see a way how i can own more than one ship without losing it fast again.

You know you can keep the danger level at 2 or lower, so you don't get any plundering against you???

But anyhow, I've been playing for about a week now, still has only 13k, have had enough resources since day two... Could probably have had enough resources to a ship of the line with all the trading I've done this week... But probably take a million years to get 750k...

@Elikabu

If you make sure that your ships take more than 1 hour between ports when trading, you'll never be seen by other players. You get +1 danger rating each time you make a trade and -1 danger rating per hour.

Other ships can only see/attack you if you have more than 3 danger rating points.

@ Vanderlund

I understand completely. But the worst of it is trying to upgrade the ships. I have a ship of the line at level 7 So, to raise it to level 8 I need 2,625,000 gold pieces.

It's fine if all you want to do is trade. Simply buy trade galleons and stay hidden, but it makes the game boring.

But It's said the hidden fleet can be reveal by the Voodoo Card. But I don't know it can be attack or not.

i got 30 Cargo... if i would lay more than 1 Our between the Ports i would have Years for an other Ship. I got aktually Dangerrating of 700 only with Portspoint.
