[Implemented] New Feature: Fishing

[Roberts]

Thankee, mine are happily adjusted :

90 out of 113 existing L frigates... which means that there are 23 large frigates out there without full guns or crew....

* starts hunting

Danik , it could be they are just level one or below level 10 or all you know...

Is a few ambush really worth a large frigate level one?...

[Most Lee Harmless]

incorrect : a level one LFG can still have full crew and guns ; those dont change with level, just the attributes and HP's.

Anyway, it was a joke, but interesting that so many are not at full spec for crew and guns, which may mean inactive-owned, which may mean easy captures.

As for the value of using ambush to capture one : they are worth 10mil apiece @ lvl10 : I've seen folk use ambushes to light up targets for 250k plunder chances, I've done it myself and you have too. So, its relative, isnt it?

Well I can not argue with that one... I do Booty Master Raids nowadays , i like targets with Over 30 Million , the targets can be quite-Juicy...

Further back, Capt Jack has written that it may take some time.

Captain Doh is always very anxious on geting the exact release time, in every feature. It makes sense if you check his avatar.

Following the initial period, we have some good results in how to expand this feature.

-We will add the special fishing ship, that will grant bonus (we will see before the release the exact amount, we want your suggestions)
-The academy technology, instead of increasing fishing output, will define the number of fishing fleets you will be allowed.

Which means that whe Academy tech is introduced, fishing fleets will be limited to about 3 maximum. To have more, you will need to research technology levels in the Academy (perhaps 2-3 fleets per level).

So, for example, someone with a level 3 Fishing Technology, should be able to use about 9-12 fishing fleets. If he tries to use more, the game will not allow it. In fact, it will count like Officers but instead of an officer, we will make this a Hideout feature. The reason is to make mass fishing available only to advanced players (as Hideouts are mostly available to advanced players).

I am putting this for discussion and we are looking forward to gather your responses.

I agree with the way you wish to implement it but I would like to see 5 ships per level to keep it metric and not to include credits to increase levels
