New Sink Chances ratings

[Captain Jack]

This will improve the plunder experience for all sort of players.

Practically, these changes mean:
-Less losses for defenders
-More winnings for attackers

We achieved this by sharing the plunder of a ship's lost level with the winners.

You earned an extra 15,750 after utilizing the scraps that an enemy ship left behind!

I believe this is the lost level gain. Seems to be working.
I like the changes.

i think the new sink rate percentages are a good idea +1

[Lefty]

Question about the lost level gain. Is it designed to work when a ship is sunk?
I received this message

 You plundered 73,531 !

You earned an extra 70,000 thanks to Piracy!

Your fame increased by 757!
Cutter has joined the sea bottom during the battle. You looted all its cargo.

So far I have only seen it work one time.
Not sure if it stopped working.
Perhaps I have just not been successful in lowering the levels on ships lately.

[Vane]

It works when lowering the levels of ships and still does for me. When a ship is sunk however is where it seems to draw the line.

[DezNutz]

Make sense that you can't gain from a ship you sink. The ship is at the bottom, and since you aren't a salvage team you won't recover anything. Although this does give me an idea for a game feature and tech.

[Captain Jack]

Indeed, your suspicions are true. When the ship is level 1, it joins the sea bottom. No level is lost, therefore nothing for you there.

Which brings in a idea, Salvaging!

The dead people from the Shipwrecks can be sold for food!

The timber from the ships, can be sold at Ports as wet timber ( Half price of its current price!)

[Haron]

Selling drowned sailors as food and rotten wood as timber...

I wish I was the one who thought of that great idea!

[Admiral Nelson]

Feed em to the pigs... Get decent bucks... Ayyyy oooo.

Salvaging alone, gave me a idea... * Merchant idea *
