    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    It´s mainly PvP at the moment, creating SP content takes a lot of time. The easiest way to aim with the gun is to crouch directly behind it and fire at the highest point of the ship`s rolling motion. And yes, ships do sink if there enough holes in the hull, you can counter it by using the pumps :)

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    Just a little atmosphere for the tutorial ;) The icon for the break out action is a bit hard to find, though: Next stop is collecting your gear on the dead guard, then the yawl which brings you to the sloop. Then the sailing starts.

    Hehe, yes, we´re sadistic pirates, what did you expect? A Friday evening release? :P Here´s the slightly longer sailing manual, something to read while at work ^^ Nassau - Manual

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    Release time: Steam Workshop :: Nassau 1715 Grab it while it´s still hot :P

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    Thanks for the nice words, @con20or ! Don´t worry, we're currently in feature/asset freeze mode now and concentrate on bug hunting in preparation for release. Well, one thing is certain, we got the 'sailing' in 'Age of Sail' covered. The sailing system is quite deep and challenging at first...

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    No 'starting', we believe in flogging around the fleet if guilty of disobedience :P And the frigate is certainly going to require a certain level of cooperation for efficient sailing.

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    Not yet, but a demo release isn´t far away. And I just noticed I haven´t posted the small sailing vid I made some time ago. It's quite old, our debug mode is on (the blue dot is the wind direction, by the way) and some things changed but it should give you an impression on how the sailing...

    Yet another fast war galleon

    Not an expert for spanish ships (especially not of that era), but my first guess would be a capstan right aft of the main mast if the riding bits are on the main deck.

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    This...is....ARMA! But no worries, we have enough 'landlubbers' on the team to keep our sailing expert and me in check so things don´t get out of control. Literally :p And one thing´s for sure, we don´t want to add things for complexity´s sake, but for a rich gameplay experience. For example...

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    Thanks for reminding me to do a proper Q&A some time soon, Pieter! :p Good questions, by the way, keep them coming. Yes, it is. Pictures, especially the moving kind, explain things better that a thousand words, so here´s a small video I made some time ago: Keep in mind that this is still...

    Nassau 1715 - Arma 3 mod

    "In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labour. In this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst is only a sour look or two at [hanging]? No, a merry life...

    Hi!

    Okay, okay, point taken :P I just compared it to my experience with other games I only played heavily modded. I mean, I have some 1.5k hours in M&B, but I could tell you zip about vanilla gameplay :D

    Hi!

    Is there anybody still around who played PotC unmodded and remembers how much content it had? :p @xDHx If you're feeling desperate enough, you could give Naval Action a chance.

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    Haven´t tried it yet, but from the video I´ve seen, yes, the anchor does drag. It was dropped during full speed and the ship didn´t stop immediately but still made 50 meters or so until it came to a halt completely. Thankfully, there is no damage model for the anchor yet ^^ And...

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    Aye...Arma can be pretty. But the goal is to make the sailing model at least as beautiful, gameplay is what really counts, after all. And a less spectacular screen shot (at first sight :P): It´s a working anchor. You drop it and PhysX does the rest :)

    Nassau 1715, a game modification for ArmA3

    Took the sloop for a spin, for those interested, here are some pictures: Behind the scenes, our coding wizard and the resident sailing expert are working on further improving the sailing model at the moment (e.g. rotational forces for the sails to assist in tacking/wearing). Steady...
