theres no ship insight

[TEAN]

except for phantoms and flagshiips. the rest are gone (making my task of giladoga slow down)
is it the same for others?

[Pirate Rose]

No I have tons of ships. You might want to switch oceans.

[Zhestar]

VERY few ships out there, for me at least.

Tried 3 different Oceans, saw only a few Skel ships, and a few bigger EITC ships.

No Navy ships whatsoever.

Even Padres coastline was empty.

[TEAN]

does switchin oceans help? because i think this is a bug or soemthing. yeah i agree with zhest. little ships there at all.

[Sarah]

The seas are empty! I've tried five different oceans, and only run across a couple of flag ships.

[Pirate Rose]

I'm having no problems finding ships. Sometimes they won't be right at the coastline, have to sail out a bit.

Here's a couple of shots where I'm at:

[Zhestar]

I'm seeing a few ships, don't get me wrong.

But for example, near Port Royal, where I normally find 20 ships between Tortuga and Port R, I'm only seeing the 2 ever-spawning Navy Flagships (Bulwark & Greyhound).

No Ferrets, Bulwarks, Panthers, Vipers.....etc.

Tried several Oceans (6).

Near Padres, if you sail left from the launch, I see only 2 ships.....a Juggernaut and a Man O'War. The MO'W is a Flagship.

The fight over the 2 minor Flagships near Devil's Anvil is something to behold......20 Light Sloops and a couple Light Frigates, all throwing grappling hooks at the surrounded vessels. Need a traffic cop there badly.

[Pirate Rose]

Try quiet oceans. There's no pirate ships around to fight with, and more ships available bc the other pirates haven't sunk them all. I'm doing John Smith quest which is a lot of ship sinking, and am able to get through it pretty easily.

[Chris]

yes the amount of enemy ships has decresed im used to seeing like 30+ ships in the water between port and tort but i will be lucky to see even one on some servers

[Rose Darkpaine]

change servers...

[Zhestar]

Tried 10 servers......6 "quiet" and 4 "ideal".

Same thing on all.

Still have not seen one single Ferret, non-flag Bulwark, Panther, or Viper.

Something in this last update definitely changed the seas, at least for me.

[Chris]

hmm chances are POTCO is playing around with the enemies and find out where to put them like the other day it was SOOO funny for some odd reason there was a lvl 29 Man-O-War parked outside of the devils anvil and literally hundreds of light sloops tried to sink it and literally hundreds sank

[Dread Roberts]

ya, i noticed after last nights "maintence" theres alot of flagships and very few ships at all. except for the above mentioned flag ships that spawn next to devils anvil, and the fleet of light sloops attacking them...its always funny to coast by in my galleon and smoke one of the ships, and see all the light sloops rush to try and board it...or keep shooting it while i board it.

I like the fact there are more flag-ships, but ive annoyed that there are few ships out at all. they need to find a happy medium from what it was last night (ships everywhere) and tonight.

[TEAN]

lol yes i saw the man o war near devil anvil too it was funny.
damn its really slowing down my quest somehow. and today the problem hasnt been solved.

theres no much option to switch server since i play the test and theres only 2 server lol.

well at least having little ships meant we dun have to look over our shoulder to see whose sinkin us.

[Marrrrni]

I noticed the same thing yesterday on both the Open and Test servers. A friend and I tried several oceans on the Open servers and finally gave up. Later in the evening, I spent a long time sailing around on Test trying to find Navy galleons or frigates with another friend. We finally managed to sink two Flags (near Driftwood and waited for respawn), after rejecting the Flag Man O' War and the Colossus near Cuba. We did not have enough crew to defeat either of those.
