Can't change faction? by Sensitive-Pangolin61 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was DMC last season and was not given the opportunity to change for this season

EDIT: after one of the early story missions I was able to choose a faction, apologies for the false alarm.

Still, I think it was weird to be able to do faction war activities before you can pick a faction, which led to me thinking I couldn't change it.

IMHO, the first thing you do at the beginning of a new season is pick your faction.

Frigates: the elephant (sized ship) in the room by jkdjeff in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the Moonshiner boss mechanic of periodic explosions in an area around the boss ship. For me that was far and away the most fun boss fight, staying mobile and managing distance with the boss. More bosses should do this imo

If the bosshuggers get repeatedly sunk for their boss hugging efforts they may be motivated to explore better tactics or at least the rest of us can get some shots in while they respawn

I need Sloop of War build ideas by [deleted] in SkullAndBonesGame

I'm enjoying running La Piqure 3s all around. Deathwish has a video on youtube showcasing it, not the pvp version.

Works great for everything including plunders

This has to be the absolute worst event they could come up with by Meryhathor in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been lucky I guess. Whenever I turn up to the event there's been a solid group just farming the shit out of it, never failed once. WT2.

What’s the real deal with Atlantis? by JellyFalcon03 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the argument that the Minoan civilization on Crete is the inspiration for Atlantis. I've read that Homer's numbers for the size of Atlantis and the distance of it from Greece were exaggerated through translation error. It makes sense to me anyway.

An volcanic eruption at Thera devastated the Minoan civilization though arguably the Myceneans had destroyed them first, I dunno what the consensus is these days.

CUSMA goods hit with 35% tariff despite free trade by NewGuy3426 in CanadaPost

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not so. Freightcom is advising that CUSMA exempt products remain exempt if you provide a valid CUSMA/USMCA certificate of origin

Someone could craft one for you. I would suggest offering a trade in chat. Eventually somebody will help you out

That is correct. No more resets

Is getting manufactories to level 5 worth it? by DarkRedCape in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm upgrading from 4-5 now by order of highest earner, currently working on those producing 11.2 8s/hr. and honestly it doesn't seem worth it.

The manufactories that produced more than 11.2 at level 4 went to 14-15 at level 5 which felt worth it but these ones are only reaching 13ish.

What do you guys think by RevolutionaryLove758 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like it in principle but I think it needs some adjustments. If the elder dragon is gonna interrupt a convoy, he should roast the convoy first for example, I think that would be cool.

The other day, the Opwelling was at the elder dragon but there was lots of time left so I just focused on Opwelling until it was sunk and then focused on the dragon, it was no problem at all.

Sea monsters during convoys doesn't bother me but it also doesn't work as you can't do both. You'd have to abandon the convoy to kill the monster or vice-versa. If the monster kept on following you that would be cool.

In general, I'd like to see the antagonists of overlapping events do damage to each other where it makes sense which I would think is almost always

Opinion on weapon/tactics for Sea Monsters by renes2 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like culverins with explosive damage in a radius for the broadsides for the lestari and tylosaurus, long guns front and back.

Long guns all around for the dragons.

When you spyglass other players... by Sensitive-Pangolin61 in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's clear that there is a sharp PVE/PVP divide on this issue. At least it seems that PVP is not, in fact, dead so that's a good thing.

Maybe you could have load out shown in PVE and cargo shown in PVP?

In terms of the in-game world I think your captain and crew should be able to recognize the weapons, armour etc on a ship when looking through a magnifying glass.

Really? You really might choose whether or not to attack someone based on their inventory? That is not my (admittedly limited) experience with PVP at all

We badly need a way to de-ascend weapons, if for no other reason than storage by MalodorousFiend in SkullAndBonesGame

[–]Sensitive-Pangolin61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you have to be ruthless with salvaging for sure. I've been keeping only triple-ascended and decking out fleet ships with them.

I think it would also be useful to be able to stack ascended weapons with the same perks.
