First of all:
Im somewhat new in AOP2, and never played the stock.
I have a Combined Mod 3.1.5 installed, planning to -unusually- play -through- a sailing game, and dont restart my career four times a week because of active modding XD
I realised, compared to the old POTC community mods,
that in COAS (+cmv) I only have to fight through the first deck, and alone to duel the captain.
In POTC, there were two, three, sometimes more decks to fight through, to finally capture the ship.
Now here, even when capturing class 4 ships with a cass 5, only one deck to clean
So sinking a ship with gunfire, or to destroy its riggings, or guns, is ALOT more hard, than capture it.
Virtually, I have no chance with my corvette LS, against a 36 gun, and two 34 gun dutch monsters,
as the english brigs run AWAY. Normal odds, I think. Time to run.
But I captured two, and sank the last one.
Yaaay, Iwe won the battle, I have ships, worth more than 600.000 to sell, and the battle lasted no more than 20 minutes.........
I have one million in the bank, and only a class 5 ship's captain, lvl13.
(realistic sailing, and battle, and a harder-than-normal-something difficulty)
Ok, by the start, if the other ship had 350 souls, and mine had 220, then I had no chance to win the first deck,
but since i have the musket volley, even galleons arent a match.
POTC capturing battles lasted very long sometimes. So it made you -pay- the price for acquiring the ship.
Now I can simply capture every ship from class 6 to 4, and earn horribly large sums of money XD
with only little efforts.
My question is:
Do GOF, or other mods address this?
Or is there any way to modify this?
I mean, making capture battles last long, making the player sweat to capture XD a ship, and/or shrinking the selling prices of the captured ships to -very- minimal... (for example, 600.000 for a captured ship is... A tad too easy but 60.000 seems normal for a ementaly-like GALLEON)
For example: making the capture avaliable only when the target's sails are below 20% will force players to -work- for the prize....

Greetings!
Its been a while, since I last appeared in POTC modding. At least three years I think.
Real Life issues kill me bad here.
Now I stumbled into my old AOP2 installment, thats why im here
If someone is interested, I recently have (its a sailing game, and im playing it, so of course I made one XD) my old, 3d detailed modified POTC stock corvette imported to COAS, so burning places, and night lights included.
and a modified captain blood, dressed up as a British Navy officer, with the proper portraits.
(and a modified Schooner skin, with "agnus dei" at the end XD)
By this time, I dont think im going to fool you again with promises about future modding, so currently only this three is complete. (and only as replacements, so no proper addons...)
If someone is interested, give me a howler, and I put up some pics, or send the gm's, and textures.

The rigging was also modified by Hylie Pistof.
