Vanagandr Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Now in the Steam store; a romantic comedy about ships of wood, sails of cloth, and men of iron (if you know what I mean). Very beautiful game but the grind is real and it can take an obnoxious amount of time to get from one point to another. Chief selling points are 'age of sail', trading mechanics (which will hopefully become less broken), and very pretty. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xthetenth Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I kind of want it just because the Steam logo art is so lovely. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashbotUS Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Looks pretty. Might try it out, I really dig this period of naval warfare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffentrager Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Asking for too much for an Un finished title. And the price is only to go higher up when it's closer to completion according to the Devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanagandr Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 The price is definitely high, but there's not that many alternatives if you want to get your sail on. I was reading the Hornblower series when I saw it, and no force in heaven or hell could save my wallet at that point. If anyone does want to add me, my in-game is Fenrir, sailing for US because I'm mainstream, unoriginal, and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashbotUS Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 The Minister of Finance has put a cap on my video game budget this year. I have to use it sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah, $54.99 US is a bit much for me at the moment. Maybe if it goes on sale on steam at a later point. I want to get Battlefleet Gothic first. xthetenth and CrashbotUS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Looks kind of okay if it was something like Pirates! but holy shit, I don't want to pay $55 for a grindfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xthetenth Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I want to get Battlefleet Gothic first. Hell yes, I've wanted that game for a long goddamn time. (Also don't look up the sins mod on the subject, the engine wasn't right for it and I wasn't really good with game mechanics back then).

Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 This game looks amazing, but its to rich for me right now. And how much of a grind we talking about? Am I looking at months and months of play to just get a frigate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanagandr Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 It's not quite months to get a frigate, but you spend more time in a cutter than you would like. I'd guesstimate it might be 15 minutes per battle, 70 xp per battle, 1000 xp to reach junior lt, another 1000 xp to reach second lt, 1500 to reach first lt, and then you can finally fully crew a frigate. I got a frigate by my second day I think, but I put in a looot of time into it those two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotMinisterofTrueKorea Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've been enjoying it a lot myself. The combat is very fun, sailing around looking for battles in PvE is pretty cool. The ships themselves are absolutely incredible looking, and visually the battles are very impressive. Agreed on the price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 How in depth are the mechanics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanagandr Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 You can control the aft and stern rigs manually and independently in square rigged ships in order to tack more efficiently, individual gun decks can be toggled to fire or not during broadsides, ranging shots are a mechanic, shots under the waterline will cause water to pour in if you're listing to that side, and WoT style penetration mechanics. Most unrealistic thing currently is the physics for ramming, and following that, that your crew cannot be told to fire when the guns bear, but it's really the most realistic age of sail game that could be hoped for I think.
