That's answered in the combat mechanics sticky. The 45% rate applies to almost all ships. The exceptions are the ones with only a few guns, which have a lower rate of gun loss since losing a single gun is so impactful.

There will be special stuff to get from epic missions, but it won't be required if you only want to PvP. When we make rewards for completing tough missions, we plan to allow you to earn the same (or similar/equal but not identical) items exclusively through PvP.

Wow you are talking beta , old beta, way old beta.

It's actually a native bird to the Caribbean, called a Bell bird. I ordered a bunch of sounds from the Cornell Orinthology Department (they have an amazing collection of field recordings) to put together some of the jungle ambiences. I was totally blown away by the crazy sounds that some of the birds made!

I digress...sorry you find it annoying! I am totally attached to it. But.. next time I go back to those ambiences I'll soften it up a bit for you.

That made me LOLZ for real.

You should should let me know when you need a sticky.

Let's all back off of the name-calling; there has been some good back and forth but some of the not-so-good stuff has been creeping in. I'd hate for us to close a thread that has more good than bad.

I certainly intend to! Standing beside Aether as an advocate for the players is a big part of the job. I hope I can do as good a job as Rev has.
