Hello gang,

There's a lot of forum PVP & flaming in this post. If you want to discuss or even debate things, you can. Let's just remove all the personal and society attacks out, please?

Thanks,
Dani

If your overall accuracy changed, you should see the change in the accuracy number displayed on your guns.

Probably not a big deal to the average person, but to someone with military experience it is really annoying. If I am out of whack with my early 18th century military protocols or customs, please let me know, but I don't think any professional English-speaking military service ever permitted its members to execute a standard salute with the left hand.

Has anyone else noticed this?
I have a feelng the rifle is in the right hand for a reason, but it's escaping me at the moment.

At a glance, my min and max values are flipped in that post. minValue is supposed to be the value at minimum range and maxValue is the value at max range.

maxValue = 100%
minValue = 0%

should be

maxValue = 0%
minValue = 100%

so at 50 yards you only have a 10% chance to hit it.
Becomes:

relativePosition = (50 - 0) / (500 - 0) = 250 / 500 = 0.1
actualValue = 100% + ((0% - 100%) * 0.1) = 90%

so at 450 yards you have a 90% chance to hit it.
relativePosition = (450 - 0) / (500 - 0) = 250 / 500 = 0.9
actualValue = 100% + ((0% - 100%) * 0.9) = 10%

So, you're right that it's backwards, although it's where I assigned the numbers as opposed to the formula (but flipping the formula works too).

In the past, multiple deeds were provided for a production run of the pirate writ ship. That got lost in the transition to the new system, as it doesn't support that functionality. As a result, it'll be three DP in 1.2.
