    A little bit of CANNON FIRE! :D

    Having researched cannons meticulously and created the Build Mod cannon effects, it was a real a real treat to finally get to see some guns being fired in person today, and from a very smart looking ship no less! :)

    Yeah but she was still blown over for many of the same reasons, and more. She had too little ballast, was over-gunned like mad, built too tall, lower gun ports ended up too close to the water line, etc.

    I just gave the new Nvidia Shadowplay feature a spin. Is a really nice hardware alternative to fraps that runs off the GPU which means the performance hit isn't as great, and theres no bloody watermark or recording limit hehe.

    I'm getting this if for no other reason than being able to epicly swing aboard a ship and cruise the seas without any loading screens!

    Assassin's Creed IV Gameplay Shown at E3

    I will probally get this.... but... Feels more like a darker and grittier Jack Sparrow adventure.

    WIP Naval Action - Open world multiplayer RPG

    Ok so you know a bit more and have access to sources I do not, and I deferr to your obviously superior knowledge. Though pre-1700's was a poor choice of words on my part as I was more thinking of the early 1600's. But thats no reason to act like a complete asshole. All I meant was that 18th...

    WIP Naval Action - Open world multiplayer RPG

    For naval combat i think the mid 1700's to early 1800's would be the best. Its there you have many of the interesting funtional ships. Pre-1700's there was no real tried and true methods for building ships really, and it was a matter of trial and error. Add also to the reality that back then...

    WIP Naval Action - Open world multiplayer RPG

    Biggest problem with MMORPG's is that they often need to appeal to the masses, and realism is often sacrificed for gameplay. I seem to recall from reading the early dev blogs of Pirates of the Burning Sea, that it was originally concieved as a much more realistic game then what was finally...

    New Mary Rose museum opens tomorrow

    If you want to see an extremely well preserved ship you should see the Vasa if you ever find your ways in Sweden. http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/

    This is gonna be awesome! But I do wish they had chosen a less recognizable figurehead for ships of the line than the one of the HMS Victory. =/

    Mod Release CannonFX 3.0

    Just a miniscule tweak to the embers. I had reworked them a bit originally because I thought I had messed up before I realised that this bug was speeding up the presentation lol. But now they are back to how I originally envisioned them. Still wish I could figure out how to speed up the particle...

    Mod Release CannonFX 3.0

    Yep thats exactly how I experience it. For whatever reason, when you load into a sea save it renders the effects at an accelerated rate, though the particles still behave exactly the same. Sadly there does not seem to be a way to make it do that all the time. =/

    Discussion Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Single-Player Adventure Game

    Well, there are historical references to both 50-gun brigs and two-decked brigs. For 50-guns we have the Chilean Brigantine Aquila, which originally was a 16-gun brig and was converted to 50 by the spanish, though I can't imagine those guns were ever of very high caliber. Though I cannot...

    Mod Release CannonFX 3.0

    Ok i just found something horribly wrong here. Appearantly the save game ive been using has affected my testing results. Ive found that when existing the instance at sea and then going back to se from the map or starting a new game, that the particles seem to be cycling at around half the speed...
