Have you thought of trying to implement sea battles while in Direct Sail? I mean to be able to see a sea battle while going from one island to another while in Direct Sail and be able to decide if you want to take part in it or not. I have asked about this before but as it's been a while since we discussed this, i just want to know if there has been any progress on this feature.

Sea battles
- Thread starter also
- Start date
There is the possibility of encountering single ships, squadrons or a small fleet on the high seas. You have a choice of engaging or avoiding contact based on nationality/current flag, sailing ability and of course type of rigging (which affects who can disengage and at what angle).
i don't think so?
Not at the current time it cant
it can, kinda. if you manage to get lucky and have a fleet spawn right next to an island that's hostile to that fleet, you might have some ships run into each other. i've had a three-way battle once between the french fleet at what used to be oxbay, a british fleet, and a bunch of pirates. that sure simplified the escape.
Yeah true Morgan, that is the way it COULD happen
Seems my reply to this thread went the way of the dodo.
I was going to say that if we can set up single fleet encounters, I reckon multiple-fleet encounters should be possible too.
Not sure which modder we could get to set that up, but I do think it can be done.
Just needs someone to do it now though
It would make sense to add it, since it's possible on the worldmap too.
However, to make it happen, we need someone to do it.
And I don't know who we might convince to work on that.
Maybe you'd want to try yourself? We're certainly help you as much as we can if you decide to. -
