SUGGESTIONS, QUESTIONS, and ANSWERS

[Mingonomou]

I think is a good idea to devote a single thread to questions and answers. What do you think?

I would like to start with a question. Why my ships cannot fire? We are in Finisterre (fog), the visibility is 644 meters and the enemy is at 389 meters. I don't understand why I cannot open fire.

[Munrox]

Working again.

[Mingonomou]

Thanks, Munrox.

I have a question about Camperdown?

I never understood what I was doing that the program decided was an attempt to cheat and locked me out?

[Munrox]

Maybe you were moving an inactive ship repairing hull? Don't know. But don't worry about it. I don't look at that warnings. It is a system in case some day we have problems with someone hacking or trying to do it, so I can trace him.

[edward pellew]

So you are saying it is only a warning; then the one ship I had must have been captured or exploded and with it gone I could not get back in to see what happened.

It seems there could be a way of notifying the captain that he is about to loose his ship other than finding it missing form his Captain's Menu page.

[Munrox]

You can look at current battles page and search for the turn report.

[edward pellew]

Looking for turn report.

do you mean Ship command page/ current battles?
I do not have a column called turn report, only one file and auction for Trafalgar.
Camperdown: the challenge is locked to me.

what does it mean when it says trafalgar is opened?

[Munrox]

It means its auction is on process and players can bid for ships. When auction finished game starts and status reads "playing"

In current battles' list you can click no name, then game's map opens and an options box appears at upper-left corner. There click on info.

Maybe I'm reading this signal wrong that appeared on my Quarterdeck screen; isn't this from the enemy fleet? De Genereux is a French ship, I am British.

De Genereux (from squadron leader) x
FAST, FAST

[Aaron]

Yeah, you will see all signals within view of your ship displayed. It confused me for a game or two.

[Munrox]

It is a bug, when a player don't click on "send" after writing a flag message, things like this could happen.

[Aaron]

Ah, so we only get to intercept certain signals eh? I will have to go on consulting my magic eight ball to divine the enemy's intentions then!

[Munrox]

I think, the enemy themself sometimes need a magic crystal ball to know what their own signals mean! 

[Aaron]

But that is entirely intentional and meant to simulate the fog of war, right?
