Agreed Not moving say within 1-2 minutes would 'call the kraken' to your location - getting a fix on you, then *gulp* *burp* LOL

The 10-15 seconds of 'Invincibility' though does give you enough time to scoot away before the 'campers' can get you - or else they become the sitting ducks (explained below)

I actually like the campers somewhat - easy kills. They sit there - you come out and cut right (or the opposite of their hull point - so if they are sailing right - go left, forces them to turn or back up slowly). Once out far enough, I then park and shoot back at them (pointed to their island for quick getaway) and strat poking them off.. they sink or move fast enough (For my side I'll actually hit as many as I can - so they all have to chase me or I sink them all ) Once moving I let my 'team mates' take them from the rears (cause now we have them surrounded)...

SvS is actually quite the tatictical combat... and its only day one. Trust me - by day 20 you get into some good rythums

ok this makes sense only issue i still have is the fact that our ship is moving the enemy ship is moving and lag likes to slap people in the face at the wrong time basically trying to hit the same are of a ship to "crack" its out shell is hard hmm but it does make sense in the sense of the way ships are build
Well Lag bombs. Not much I can do with that one. As for ship movement... this is where good cannon skills come in thats for sure. Unless you get to 'camp' and shoot - pirates will have to get used to 'shooting on the run'...

Yea, its also bites when you miss the spot again - this is why I encouraged Big D NOT to have auto-repair when you sink a ship (why have repair if you get reapred every ship you sink??? Drives me crazy). this way, if you sink and they were damaged you still had a change to 'chase them down like dogs and finish the job!!! ' LOL

But lets have at it for a few days (remember - as I type this SvS has only been out for about 8 hours...), then D may take off the auto-repair (it only got added 5 days before release... so I'm hoping it is only a temp thing until pirates get used to SvS).
