The turn in issue is an unfortunate bug that has caused a lot of frustration amongst our player base.

While we haven't chosen to punish those who are abusing that broken mechanism, the people who are utilizing it are doing so with the understanding that it isn't a desired or enjoyable behavior- so shame on you.

Isildur has just posted a new Devlog that explains how we are going to fix this, and you can read the entire post by visiting this link.

I encourage everyone to take some time to read what he's got to say on the subject.

I just wanted to make sure that everyone in this thread saw Isildur's newest Devlog discussing the turn-in issue. You'll find the complete Devlog by clicking this link, and further discussion can be found at this link.

Folks, this issue is as important to us as it is to you. So much so, that we've posted a new Devlog on the subject, which you can find by clicking this link.

We are looking forward to hearing what you think.

There have been a lot of discussions regarding the negative impact that turn-in missions have had on port contention, and now Lead Designer Kevin 'Isildur' Maginn has weighed in on the subject.

In addition to discussing why we approached the problem as we did, Isildur also shares the details on how we are solving the problem, both in the near term and beyond.

Sorry, Grummit. I've looked at your logs to the extent that they are available to me. I see where you tried to turn it in. Unfortunately, our logging system just went through a major overhaul and I don't have access to any info I would need to debug. It looks like you're going to have to rely on our customer service reps in this case. I wish I could do better for you, but I'm sure a GM will get in touch with you and help you sort it out.

Once again, I apologize I couldn't be more helpful.

No, but we are planning PvP smuggling missions that are similar.

The 1.2 ship tuning changes were completed awhile ago. There'll be a devlog on them sometime in the near future. There are no changes to refit ships in 1.2 unless the base ship changed (which is true for some, like the Arrow).

Gun battery damage is tracked like every other damage type, except it's not displayed. Every time you take damage to armor or structure, we apply a fractional amount of gun damage. Over several hits, that damage adds up and destroys a gun.

I added a bit of an explanation to the second post in the mechanics sticky: http://www.burningsea.com/forums/sho...19&postcount=2

We're not removing the lineship bundles from any of the writ ships. They're too powerful and thus they dominate their respective areas. Sailed properly, they will decimate anything that doesn't require a writ.

See http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9456 on where to get the POTBSPatch.log, attach them to a new support ticket, and post the incident number here.

For patching problems you should also open a ticket with Sony Station.
