Combat sea trials are officially over. We are going to keep servers live in case adventurous Captains wish to sail from time to time.
We received tons of precious feedback from you, and will use it to improve the game.
We would like to thank all the participants - it has been a blast and we enjoyed sailing and fighting with you.
We believe that results of the sea trials are very promising.
Even at this low content stage we have reached 25 hours average playtime - which is bigger than most games on steam (we are in top 25 i think)
1st positions in various categories
Largest number of average battles per day - Captain Kaaru62
Largest damage per day - Captain Tommy Shelby
Largest number of battles - Captain MrDoran
Largest average damage per battle - Captain Thalion
Average kills per battle - Freddykrueger66
Most Victories - Captain Thomasew
Most Prizes (kills or boardings) - Captain Leviathan
Overall damage dealt to enemy fleets - Captain Fellvred
Combat efficiency - Captain Fenrir
Numbers are from pve/pvp group combat only.
Duels are not calculated in the stats, but i think you all know who was is in the leading position in the duel combat.
If captains in question are ok with us disclosing numbers we will post them in a separate post + include top 10 captains in every category
Improvements that will be done based on the Sea Trials feedback.
Damage model
Damage model 4.0 is being tested and will change a lot of things especially in cannon and crew damage.
Ballistics is somewhat changed and will need extensive testing
Aiming will be somewhat improved and we will add ability to shoot when looking through the telescope.
Fires and explosions are added
Double shot and chain reload times will be increased.
Boarding will be improved and new commands added. Commands will become important and you will no longer be able to only rely on crew size for winning
After damage model 4.0 is properly tested with you; we will rework leaks from hull penetrations, increasing its importance over structural leaks. Ships will sink slower, hull positional damage will have more influence.
Ships
Several new models will appear in admiralty stores across the Caribbean
Better ship customization: At least 20 modules that will allow Captains to fine tune their ship performance. Some of the modules will be useful in combat, some in the open world.
Ship hidden characteristics will be added making every ship unique
We will also try to somewhat improve sailing models, accel/decel and inertia of vessels and add a button that will take down jibs and staysails allowing you to quickly depower sails by turning yards into proper positions.
Player and social components
Player account implemented
Ranks added
New chat, mail, friend and ignore lists, and other useful features is already in the game
If we forgot anything please let us know. We are starting work on the player controls remapping and hope to finish within 1 month.
Sea trials 2 will start as soon as we finish internal testing.
New stage will focus on the following areas:
Damage model testing
Bug search and bug fixing
Open world distance testing
Open world national interaction testing
Piracy and its role
Progression testing
Basic money flows and inflation
Expect multiple wipes in the process. If you feel that you want to play instead of testing the game it is better to wait for the more stable version. All captains who were active in the sea trials 1 and 2 will receive in game rewards.
wipe = all data on your account will be reset
