There's a minimum level of quality we're willing to accept even on the test server, and 1.2 isn't QUITE there yet. Soon, though, very soon!

Yes, basically changing the range from 40 miles to 100 miles took maybe an hour of my time, including time to test the change. Changing the range from 'X miles for all ports' to 'within the PvP radius of each port' is a lot more work, from a lot more people.

OK, I've sent instructions for the GM. They should get in contact with you as soon as they are able.

So I dug into this a bit, and I found out part of the problem was a unit conversion error, which was easy to fix. In 1.2 we'll be increasing the range at which ship kills generate unrest at a port from roughly 40 miles to roughly 100 miles.

This will create a few situations where you can generate unrest at a port outside of the PvP area of that port. This is not ideal, and something we would like to change in the future, but we think the impact should be minimal. If there are two ports within 100 miles, only the closest port gets unrest, so the total number of places where unrest can be generated outside the PvP radius around a port is very small.

While we're not pleased that unrest can be generated outside the PvP range of a port, we do not consider doing so an exploit.

Yes, I just increased the drop rate of battle ensigns from Scavenge to roughly 1 in 3.

Unfortunately, your plans are far too modern in almost every aspect for "back-dating" to be feasible.

A great place to start is your local library. See if the librarian can help you track down this book, which is available in both French and English. It's going to be your absolute best bet for information and plans for French frigates of the correct period.

Hello all,

OK, I figured out what happened. You should log a support ticket, then post here with the incident number. I'll add instructions to the ticket so the GM can help you out.

Basically, you managed to find an edge case where you were able to take 2 missions that should have been mutually exclusive. The good news is, I fixed it and nobody should have this happen to them again after 1.2.

Sorry for the trouble.

Primarily the fix to Frigate speeds. I think the change to Unpredictability will also be hugely beneficial (much easier to run in with speed on, swap to damage, fire once, switch back to speed and run off), but we're not saying "it will be fixed in 1.2, we're going to stop thinking about it." We think the changes in 1.2 will help, we're absolutely going to examine the result of those changes in actual play and reevaluate them on that basis.

I'm not a dev, but a mod. What is your question?
