It's not directly about ship tuning, and it's not up yet. I have not forgotten, I will be sure a link gets posted here.

This isn't something we'd push a build out to fix. It'll be in the major build update, along with all the other normal bug fixes.

Not quite the way it's interpreted. The problem is they're not supposed to be able to employ that speed in combat the way they are capable of doing now. The deceleration isn't working as intended once a bunch of mods and skills come into play, which effectively allows the warships to go much faster than they're intended. They're only supposed to be very situationally faster, and at a great cost. That's not happening now. Scouts are also supposed to have much better wind angles overall, and some of them will need more work in that area. Various scouts are getting wind angle boosts in 1.2.

Ah, that reminds me- I'm going to talk with the GMs to see if we've got the power to transform special people into chickens.

If not, we have other means at our disposal.

Will peeps be able to form their own groups, or will you be assigning us to groups?
You'll be able to create your own groups, just remember to roll Spanish!

We're putting the finishing touches on them now. They'll be out today for sure. This is possibly the biggest patch we've ever pushed (including all the beta patches) so it's taking us a while to get the patch notes in shape.

1 in thread DREWC No crying ..... [Ask an FLS Developer!]
If you want a scrupulously fair PvP fight, we are working on bringing that to you, that's one of the things we expect the skirmish system to do. World PvP is all about unfair fights. That's what's interesting about world PvP, it's not fair.

Professional soldiers only pick a fight when they think they have an advantage, or when they feel they have no choice. While we're certainly not going to force you to take every advantage you can get your hands on into a battle, you are most certainly given incentives to do so.

That said, we fully understand that some players want fair fights, and only fair fights. We expect to support those players with the Skirmish system.

I moved it to the technical area so someone technical can assist you.

Once the new system goes in, I'll likely go back to 2 windows, as you describe.
I really hope you're satisfied with the changes we've made. Please report back if there's something you think we missed!

Frack.

You just HAD to cancel the quest RIGHT THERE, didn't you.

OK, this is ultimately my fault. I accidently created a place in the chain where, if you cancel the quest, you are unable to take it again. The fix already exists, but it won't show up until 1.2.

I'm afraid you'll need to file a support ticket. When you do, post the ticket number here so I can add specific instructions for the GM to get you back on your way. I apologize for the inconvenience.
