TBh the difference isnt That much. The main point of so called ''Fast'' is really because of 50% speed boost.

I feel a disturbance in the force.....a rumor that fleeting with a r20 Shipbuilder for modding ships will no longer get you the best results anymore, that now, to get the best results from FS parts when you are modding a ship or want maximum or minimum cargo from a mod, you either have to BE a r20 Shipbuilding, have at LEAST r12 Shipbuilding when you fleet to an r20 Shipbuilder, OR....turn your(potentially VERY expensive!) ship OVER to a r20 Shipbuilder and have them mod it. Now, given how big a pain in the arse Shipbuilding is to grind up, and that there aren't many with the stamina to get the skill to r12 let alone r20, this would create a HUGE potential for scammers to rob players of their high-end ships or switch them out for "less successful" modding attempts of the same model ship. I seriously hope that this rumor isn't true, because if it is, I forsee BIG problems in the game VERY soon.....

The thing about rumors? People can often get worked up about them, only to find out they were never true to begin with. I've not heard anything about this striking the shipbuilders I know of, and by that same token, wouldn't ALL production skills be likely to get hit, instead of just the one? Seems fishy to me.

I've read in SB'er guides there is a better chance of success when you are a R20 SB'er yourself however... Most times 90% of the time imo if your build is good you won't need this extra boost. Only for repairing failed builds or if you're a cheap bastard and are skimping on Astro parts when you need them etc.. Then you better give to a trusted SB'er but other than that a simple R20 fleet is cool

The "How to make money with Shipbuilding Guide" I'm almost done writing it. As soon as the GM unbans my forum account later this week HOPEFULLY I'll upload it and post the link here. :D

As someone whose modded ships with R20 SB, both with own toon, and leeching the skill off someone else, I can say there IS a greater chance of success when you do it yourself rather the leeching the skill off, and can make quite a difference. However, for non PvP, non astros ships, this extra boost isn't really that necessary. Only when your out competing with other players does that extra boost can make the difference between staying afloat and being sunk.

Does anyone have information about this option: "Set Special hull effect"?

"Set Special hull effect" is used in other servers as a slot to insert a permanent cosmetic aura item. Its a tradeable cash shop item there.

This month, Japanese UWO players get access to something very interesting:

www.gamecity.ne.jp/dol/topics_cms/update/6292.html

Looks as if shipbuilding in the future will be faster, easier, and oh yeah, the limits on upgrading a ship will be changing as well. Quite a bit.

For GAMA, these changes are a year or so off. Should be interesting to watch them unfold in the months to come, though. Cheers.

Guilder's glance to future content is very welcome, we are able to prepare our game-style for what's coming, and as example you have the SYr3, companies were practically ready to build it before the update came.

I used to be a voyager just like you, YG. But then I took an arrow... wait, no. 2nd Age arrived, bringing with it multiple unexpected changes, not all of which I liked. I learned from ReaD and others on the UWO DB the value of watching future game content so as to never be taken by off guard by it again; in turn, I share some of my findings to try and help others enjoy the game as much as I do, and to prepare them for upcoming content, be it good, or (as was the case of vanished Atlantis) bad.

It's difficult to say whether or not the upgrades to Shipbuilding will be added into GAMA, for now. But we did end up with 98% of Atlantis' content, and a lot of the big deal Age of Revolution content has made it in so far as well (Shipyard R3). The changes I see listed would benefit both players and developers/hosters in many ways, too. But time alone will tell, I suppose. Cheers.

Is there a recommendation on how much to invest in each nation's territory before defecting to another nation?

Thanks in advance

Blake.C

At least 5 mil per port.

My 7-nation investment quota from what I was taught:
5 mil per territorial shipyard ports.
2 mil per territorial non-shipyard ports.

does the best grinding ship is still schooner exp perday wise and cutter money wise ?

long time no play here son i wonder if it's still same or there are new ships more worthy for grinding SB other than those 2

Caddy

it really depends on what your objectives are.

Schooners are good up to about r14 or so, when you can build Turkish Galleys (although TGs are much more ducat loss per unit XP, they are great for proficiency). The only problem with schooners is short build time, so it's a lot of going into/out of the colony. This is especially the case with the Efficient SB construction oxford skill, which cuts all ship build times in half (highly recommended for anyone wanting to grind their SB skill).

Cutters is the old way to grind SB, I don't really recommend it much from my personal perspective, as schooners is better proficiency per day.

There is one ship you also might consider, Emigrant Barque. It's about 700k loss per build but short build times and good prof for building, so it's worth considering. This ship used to only be available to be built by English players. Whenever they lifted the investment requirement for building SY ships, this became available to other players.

There's also Sambuks in Calicut. While it takes slightly longer to grind with and a bit more expensive then Cutters, the 12 day wait period fits nicely for those who like to go AFK while grinding; I know many SBs end up over-shooting/over-waiting the required the 6 day build for Schooners when going AFK. It all depends how involved you'd like to be and much your willing to spend to max SB.

Amuroray

well sambuk is not best proficiency nor money , time management is no poblem with me even with the 3 mnts interval so i don't think i will do sambuk but thx for the info.

my aim if proficiency and money , that's why i'm doing schooner till now (still r7) and plan to do cutter to save money later till turkish galley , the different of time to lvl is about 20% between cutter and schooner (schooner faster of course ) but the money loss for schooner is almost double and at latest rank that mean almost 200-300 mil difference

this is my understanding of old sb way , looks like it still goes on now , i will check that Emigrant Barque though and compare the prof and money eficiency , thx for the info , and where can i build this Emigrant Barque ?

Hey guys,

It's been a long time. Hope everyone is doing well and that you've all "weathered the storm" of the past year or so. Just dropping a quick line to say that I'm on long term hiatus from UWO, hope to come back one of these days. Give my best to the community and you guys take care. If anyone needs me, Roiber knows how to get in touch. Please say hello to [GM]Sheebs for me as well, he's a great GM. All the best,
