SvS ships launched from non-SvS islands

[Poison elf]

I wish they payed attention on this one myself before releasing it live. It probably was the biggest glitch I saw through out the entire test.

The trouble with this is it multiplies to many different areas. To on land hand to hand, to this on a regular ship doing damage to opponent and ship in svs while basically invulnerable themselves but from navy and eitc.

As well as preventing guilds who like to always remain crewed, while all doing different things. One person sets the crew to svs, nobody will get rep.

Probably worse than anything, is the minority of people aware of it off the boards here, versus unknowing players.

(Thunderbolt should do zero hull damage - the only hits that should happen from a lightning strike, are to the masts. But since sail damage doesn't slow SvS ships down, that would make it useless. *sigh*)

Well to me, masts are much bigger than a pirate avatar to actually have thunderbolt be able to auto-target that good to a tiny pirate...but if it does auto-target to tiny pirate avatars now, then wow, thats just incredibly ridiculous to say the least lolol... and yup sail damage is pointless, I've seen ships with NO SAILS at all still being able to hit Full Sail & Ramming Speed to still outrun ships that do have all sails intact =(

Yup their broadsides weren't hurting us, pretty sure if they were to fire broadsides it would show up "can't damage players' ships" message as well... it was the crew on board that was firing off thunder/fury & sinking ships using their ammo.

Yup that happened to me, the moment I launched my ship from an SvS island, my guildmates in crew stopped getting rep points even tho they were on the other side of the map, no where near me.
