first of all how do i take Screenshots, and second i'd like to help

 

[Pieter Boelen]

I always use the PrintScreen button on your keyboard, then open Paint, use Paste, then save as JPG.

Or, on Windows 8, you can also press Windows Key + PrintScreen and it will save a JPG file straight to Pictures\Screenshots.
This lets you take multiple shots and have them all saved immediately. I like that feature.

Not bad, not bad!

in all my yrs of playing ive never seen this skull till now.

 

[superkid]

What do those skulls actually do?

 

[Ben Coats]

they used to give perks in the "P.I.R.A.T.E.S." and up your abilities, but with GoF mods and all that the books replaced them, so they're basically wothless.

Indeed that guy in the water there looks SOOO sad!

And that compass texture is really quite different!

 

[Hylie Pistof]

Yes! The old cannon damage is really bad.

 

[jokash]

Im no expert but to me i looks like the new damage came from a 40 mm bofors than a cannon ball... the holes are too clean and round

 

[Hylie Pistof]

40mm holes would be almost too small to see. There is a good video that I have not found yet of balls being fired into a replica ship. This one is of a 6 pound cannon.

i dont know the old texture looks better to me because it can stand for both penetrating shot and non penetrating shot... now its gonna look that the shot penetrated no matter the caliber fired...just look at this pic, this battleship could look like a heavy damaged one and also as a lightly damaged but with many shots bouncing off

Those drawings are amazing

especially the first 3 - I would not want to have been in the main cabin of that ship when that damage was caused.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

That 1st screenie looks good!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Very good, mate!

I started to try the new COAS mod with speeds 0.3-0.2 knots and was banging my head in the wall for that for some time. Then I noticed the sails are by default ripped 98% ....The crew was 24 of 330 and there both wasn't money in pocket and chaps to hire in the tavern. Why is this torture necessary I don;t understand. And since my sloop was outrun by a merchant shooner after firing the first salvo - they went to escape and they did... Feels pretty stupid. Guess I could do something but prefer to start with another character.

If I understood correctly, that depends on the starting character in Eras Module 2.
Some are set up to start with much and some with hardly anything.

POTC for LIFE!

That's the correct attitude, as much as I like to try new things, PotC will aleways remain the better gaming experience
