Would you be willing to send me a SS or link to battle so I can see what you are talking about? Privately of course. (is this against the rules?)
I don't fear death. I look forward to it with great anticipation. For then I will met God face to face and let him know that I stole his Man of War!!!

Well....a flag galleon losing to a cutter isn't news. A flag galleon defeating a whole fleet? At least 60 attributes :lol:

Why not? They spent millions and millions getting to a point where they wouldn't have to lose to the average players easily...

Un realistic its just a mechanism to make it a pay-to-win game... this makes it absolutely impossible to become anything important in this game unless you spend real money which is kind of shity

I disagree. I have noticed how poor your ships preform in battle. You do not need 60 attributes to make a decent ship. I am sure if you examine the battle statistics very carefully, you will discover where you are weak.

I guess I am missing something... Flag Galleons are tough with out any Research. With investment into Research Flag Galleons will be amazing War and Trade ships (100 Cargo Space). If someone spends the time and gold coin to add these ships to their fleets, I say it is a great strategy and doesn't really mean they are paying (real money) to win. Just time and gold coin to make it happen. Some of these large traders do have some bank roll to accomplish this task.

I asked one such trader for a loan recently and they told me no, as all extra funds are going to Flag Galleon fleets to beef up their defense.

Anyone trying to plunder traders in the future will just need to adjust their attack behaviors and plan accordingly.

Or am I way off base Mack? Let me know good sir.

All that could have been in one post.
