PotBS Vault has released a new blog called “The Rum Diary” authored by a character known only as Our Man in Havanna.

His latest update, titled Roberts: The Pirate’s Playground caught our collective eye, and so we share it with the Pirates of the Burning Sea community in the hopes that you too will enjoy it.

You will want to click here to read more.

Enjoy, won’t you?

No, that's not the case. What I said wasn't clear... I was saying they don't override in 1.4. They stack.

WTF?
Neither of those are true in the release version of 1.4, but I don't think that's in until the second testbed build (which we haven't given any real information on).

The devlog was aimed at hitting around the time of the first 1.4 testbed release, but that was delayed due to 1.3 builds. Regardless, the same problem would exist in the initial testbed release because it doesn't have all the changes.

The server is up.

Yeah, communication is good. It's been vague between them and us, and I'm going to fix that today so that there's a guaranteed single point of information for you.

The two extra planned ecomomic sinks will help but i was meaning more in terms of combat (ship & avcom).
I think I'm missing the problem you're trying to solve. Why do you think the red circles a failing pressure point for the economy?

keline - thank you for filing support tickets, we are investigating this.

While this thread has raised some interesting discussion, I don't think that our forum is the appropriate venue for it.

Duh, I reread your message where you clearly indicate that a player would still engage in PvP to earn contention points, just not in the red circle. I would still like to hear more of what you're driving at though. I'm juggling five things right now (yes, it's midnight), and my brain is fried.
