A new dev diary from Augustus is online at the PotBS site, discussing combat tuning for an upcoming milestone:I needed a patsy. So I turned to John and Kevin.
“Hey John,” says I, “please log in with a ketch.”
Hehehe.
Now that we’ve created merchant and warship configurations for each of our ships, with different modifications, upgrades, and default outfitting, creating a new character and jumping into the game is easier and faster than it’s ever been.
John innocently logs into the game, and he and his little ketch appear at the port of his namesake, St. John’s. An auspicious beginning, but it won’t help, since I’m waiting for him outside the harbor with a 3rd rate ship of the line.
“Hold still, this won’t hurt a bit.” |
