Thank you to Disney for making my decisions about upgrading my ship harder and harder.

I'm a little perturbed at the cost of every single upgrade. For those of us that don't have hours to play, it could literally take months to get a single enhancement.

10% explosive each broadside

Someone please check to see if Fast Switch/Cancel has been patched up in this November 4th Test update. Also check to see if Swift Foot I, II, and III potion speed glitch has been patched up. Please keep sending bug reports on these problems if they're aren't fixed. Once they patch these, it will make events like Moon Curse fair for everyone and PvP fair for all as well.

Or 20% if you get the Level Five upgrade.

Level 5? I thought the upgrades stopped at Level 4.

EDIT: Never mind that, I found it. I think I'll get Copperhead II instead of Skull & Bones for my war brig...

Wow, Disney does not like anything negative! Posted a comment on the POTCO site and the mods banned it....despite the fact it complimented them AND offered feedback politely.

I agree. I reported a bug there about the clothing being bugged and it didn't get posted.

I sailed my Copperhead Frigate for several hours. The most explosives I landed on one broadside was 4 out of the total 12. I sank a War Brig with Firestorm hull that had no hull armor, but full health in that salvo. It was impressive.

I average at least one explosive fired one out of every five broadsides. I will have this hull on one my svs pirates war frigates, and a war sloop. Can not wait!

How much more damage does the explosives do?
And it looks like War Frigates are going to be VERY powerful in SVS with copperhead. Can't wait to see this go live. It should make them more balanced against the War sloops.

Considering how the amount of points you have in round shot can affect Broadsides, I would suspect that having skill points in Explosives/Fury/Etc. would affect the upgrade you have.

Question to testers with Copperhead: How does the range of the explosives work, exactly? Do they travel the same distance as the regular broadside shots?

As to the first part on damage my pirate with it does about 3k-4k per hit, and 10k on open fire. He does have max explosives. I will need to have someone sail her with no points in explosives to test this.

.......and Del it has the same range as a regular broadside salvo.

Don't you think it would make the game a little unbalanced for the enemies knowing that we deal more damage with just broadsides alone to take out a lv. 40 War Galleon ship with 1 round of shots?

I thought they would give enemy ships upgrades too.....

I guess I was wrong... again.
