To quote the embarrassing Mr Rumsfeld…, -“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.”

Steam opening the game up , the problem i see with the econ is that unless steam allows you to have more then 10 econ slots per account , shipbuilding will be a major problem , not saying it cant be done with 10 slots , its just means a lot of tearing down and rebuilding to the point where it would not be worth the effort involved or the cost

Vision have said that the economy is being reworked and the production chains simplified.

Ship building was never "INTENDED" to be done by one person so I don't see a problem with this... It jsut means ppl will have to resource from others and "work together" to build ships just like in the early days of PotBS

yes and will admit that my soc was totally geared towards boat building and between us we could put together any boat in a few hrs, but as you said the days of a single person building ships will be gone with steam

yep, sad on Antigua I have "too" many ships lol

of the basics anyway and the Invincible and Trinity lol but I'm hanging on to them in hopes of a revival

Yes, and it means on Steam we will have to encourage all the players, new and old, to use their econ slots. It's a minimal time investment. If you aren't interested in econ, just make some commonly used raw mats and put 'em in the AH. Maybe, just maybe, the econ will work the way it was originally intended.

Would you sell me some invincible, victory or indomitable ship? In ancient?

not sure on that as the Killer Bees shipbuilding has been close for a while now and truthfully it would be a major enough to reopen it again , we closed down before legacy opened , i most come here just to catch with old payers and see how things are going , sometimes log into account and pass on some of out stockpiled item s

Good to see ya mate!

hey Slap , how you been ?

this person is doing god's work

Huge Econ opportunities on Antigua! There are currently 536 or more buy orders (made by several players) for 10s of thousands of items waiting to be filled; most at many times or more than fair prices. If you have a toon on Antigua or are thinking of creating one or more there; the opportunities abound. If time is limited for you? You can easily find something that is in demand to start off, producing that item and maybe related items. "Even with the few troll bids, i.e. 2k for a first rate, lol" The econ is primed and ready, for players to become an integral part of revitalizing this server which obviously still has the ability to be full of life and potential again! A fluid econ will lead to regular flipping of ports, and PBs... and more frequent red zones will lead to pvp opportunities. Thank you very much for your help, and or consideration.

Seems like newbies need camp provisions, but I have yet to see them for sale at the auction house.

That exactly further makes my point. You are pointing out yet another opportunity for someone in the game to make db while providing a needed service. Not just newbies, but also other players that need them and other provisions.

Thank yall for your patience with the infrastructure at Roseau (legacy server). The port is now at 0/0 for weapons and fortifications. I have added money to the treasury and am starting to click up the infrastructure. Just clicked it up from 0->1. I will commit to clicking it up to lvl 2 or lvl 3 but will then let it regulate itself based on tax income/donations. I have adjusted tax rates to 40/40/40 for british, pirates, and spanish, and 10% for french. These rates are the pre-tax evasion rates of FTs or buccs. Roseau is the primer limestone, sugar/general planation, and guano port in the eastern Antilles because its river allows for advanced structures AND close proximity to Fort de France's deep natural harbor.

finally

gonna crank up my econ as well perhaps, pump some taxes in

FdF Treasury was at 200k yesterday…

i believe all the ports have their infras taken at the same time. so, yesterday that amount would be the value left in the treasury after the infra is taken

truly living paycheck-to-paycheck

A handful of us will be doing some Cease Fire Econ at FdF here in a few days should help pad that some… Would be nice if other nations could donate to treasury though.

But still 10/10/10

Yeah I live in IL so central time US and my ports maintenance hits at what 10am Saturday

Now at lvl 2. Probably going to hold here for a week to see how taxes do. Its 50k/week in upkeep and I want to make sure there is enough demand even for that

Openned my Roseau structures today, maybe 20k every 3 days..

The econ planner I was using was wildly off. These are the updated prices
