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.

Now that's what I call impressive. I do hope that this goes live after all the major bugs are fixed.

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.

It wont sink a lvl 40 warship each and every time. Maybe every third or so on open fire with max explosives. Where it shines is hunters and svs.

[Kat Five Knives]

This is definitely going to make things interesting for SVS.

I honestly completely forgot about the hunters :/.

I see now... it's perfect against the hunters.

"Fast Switch" and Swift Foot Potion speed glitch still works on the current test patch. I hope they do not neglect these issues for the live patch.

That means more waiting time for player fairness.

I like these frequent updates. When this hits live people are going to be very happy. At least the ships at sea will be a lot more colorful.

UGH FINALLY THOSE ANNOYING SVS LIGHT SLOOPS WILL GET A TASTE OF THEY'RE OWN MEDICINE.
I think most svsers (including me) will be glad to see them go extinct. Its about time. Move aside light sloops, war brigs are here to stay
this upgrade will go perfect on war brigs, svs will be changed forever. it will also be perfect for hunters (my main activity)

Any upgrade to PvP-related activities, that also include re-balancing + making it fair, are always a + in my book.

Glad to see SvS getting changes

Can someone post all the costs of upgrades?
