SkaForHire Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Kings Port Advertiser and Ship List New Terra’s most reliable source for shipping news. February 617. VOL 2 ISSUE 1 The War Goes Well For Mardier! A bright sun is shining on Mardier today in these dark times, for the lesser nations learn their place this month, at the heel of Mardier’s boot. The Mardierian fleet has blockaded three major Eslandolian ports and is awaiting action from the rogue nation. Surely king Alphonse XIII is awaiting a swift surrender from the green menace, along with a great amount of compensation for this unwarranted hostility. Rumors are already flooding in that major Eslandolian moguls are already turning tail and fleeting to Redder pastures in Corrington. Among the brilliant news lies a bit of levity, the Garvian fleet that was seen heading towards our fair Kingsport was repelled. “How?” you may ask. “Surely our navy is busy dealing with the Green coats!?!” you cry. Both are valid inquiries dear reader. The truth is in the Tuna. The Bumbel corporations Merchant Armada seeing the danger to our beloved city sailed out to meet the Garvian fleet and made quick work of the scoundrels sinking a ship and capturing two others. When asked for comment the leader of the Bumbel Corporation, Harvey W. Bumbel III, was kind enough to give us a quote: “The Garvian menace affects us all, we must all do our part to ensure our great nation endures these malicious attacks. The Bumbel corporation is committed to the security of this nation and the good people we serve. It is for that reason our fishing fleets have been granted notes of Marque by our gracious King Alphonse XIII. Starting today our fishing fleets will be manned and protected by a minimum of one war galleon. And I will personally reward and take responsibility for any Garvian or Eslandolian ship captured during this war. I call upon the good people of the world to see these scoundrels for the scourge they are and take up arms against them. Today they attack Mardier but tomorrow it could be your home!” These chilling words have already made quite a stir among those on the streets. Rumors are abounding that Corrington has already made a deal with the Bumbel Corporation to strike at Eslandolia’s colonies. There have been an awful many Mardierans returning from Skaford Heights claiming a growing foreign presence, a shade other than Green, on the island. Kracken Attackin’ ? Although last month’s paper was full of tales of the Kracken, this month there does not seem to be much news. Although it was said that the Kracken was under control by no other than Queen Beatrice of Oleon! Supposedly she uses the foul beast to attack her enemies, foreign and domestic! Beware a woman scorned, indeed! Great Treasure? The Bumble Tuna Company’s pay ship LaCrosse sunk off of Terraversa two weeks past. Surely the adventureous salvager can find the ship before the company does! It is said that she had over 500DBs aboard when she was lost. Hurricane Season a comin’! Last year’s hurricanes were devastating to the New World trade. If my bones are correct, a new storm may be brewing here in the southern waterways of New Terra. Travel at your own peril!

Maxim I Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Hahaha, JN Queen Annetta's Revenge captured COR Queen Annetta's Price... Also, what do I have to think about this? Is this an act of aggression? Is there war between Oleon and Namere? Captain Genaro Centurion OL 35 Caught 2T "Poppy" Namere trade vessel Quote
Bregir Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 "Sphinx - Sunk at Anchor..." NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! She has been with me from the start... what a tragedy! (Do I get the salvage value, btw?) Also, @Phred / @SkaForHire - The revenant is still stuck on a reef off Berreli, so I shouldn't be given the proceeds of her trade run. (And to everyone else, there is still a 100 db bounty for pulling her off and returning her to me! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) @Maxim I I wonder where Ska took the inspiration from for that name. Just as it was baptised right when I went aboard. An unusually quiet MRCA in my opinion. Jacob Nion Queen Annetta's Revenge SR 0 Fleet caught Corrington traders 4T "Bridge To Terraversa" and 3T "Queen Annetta's Price" I suppose these are NPC vessels?

Legostone Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Btw, is there any mechanic to get ships lost to mutiny back into the game? I don't mind losing a ship every now and then(I think this is the fourth one I lost so far), but as it didn't sink I would like to see those appear again at some point in time (and be it sailed into a reef, drifting around for anyone to find etc - all that would work for me) Quote

Whether we can realistically manage this, I am not yet sure. Quote

Well, I would be glad to see both 5Fs that got lost next MRCA again in some way:D (La Recouvrance and Green Winds) Also, who can beat me, with (2F:100DB, 3T2: 200DB, 5F:350DB, 5T:400 DB) 1050 DB lost in ships since the beginning?

I got 2F's lost since the beginning. @Faladrin: I think you have also lost already quite some vessels? :p I think the most vessels we lost were held by me:P Luckily none of them were irreplaceable or difficult to pay for:P Edit: Different topic. Many of you have captured vessels, and I'm guess some of you don't want those you captured. Would there be interest in me starting a general auction Thread for this MRCA? I would volunteer setting it up (as I have to set up one for ESL vessels anyways, so why not add more vessels?), and those who want to sell vessels could just send me a PM with the necessary information (as in: shipname, current owner, former owner (might matter for some), class, starting price, factions and players you want to exclude from buying your ship etc) This time I have a different idea how to handle the bids, no matter if others want to sell their ships through it or not.

I lost nearly all my ships ! one 2WR; one 3A; one 2A and almost lost the Raenette (2F) if Legostone hadn't bought it at auction ! In fact I think I've lost all my ships once except my class 0 which I sold to Tomsche. Probably a reason why I am hesitating to publish my next one.... (Nah ! It's just because I have to do a good rigging; I rebuilt the masts, BTW, and it's better !) Quote

I've lost about the same number of ships. My first six to nine months of playing was spending all my money on ship licenses, losing ships, borrowing money to buy sister-ship licenses, then losing those ships. 8 hours ago, Bregir said: (Do I get the salvage value, btw?) Having is sunk while anchored at a harbor, I would think it would be salvageable. Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 I'd like to see this blockade explained, too. Did this apply to all factions? If cb4's Nemesis was indeed prevented to enter ESL harbors, it suggests MAR did some serious - and unannounced - world policing. Quote

So cb4's ship did reach its port, unaffected by a blockade. That said, as long as the blockade was simply a predator mission to the zones for those ports, then ESL will determine an appropriate response. However, if this was a game mechanic not available to PC nations, I would have serious issues with it. Can you please clarify how the blockade was carried out? Quote

However, if this was a game mechanic not available to PC nations, I would have serious issues with it. Can you please clarify how the blockade was carried out? You already nailed it. On a side note, I would like to say, that not all the game mechanics were meant to be shown to the general public from the beginning, and some pieces, ever. This was a conscious decision early on so that people would not powergame, and would have to take time and "probe" the system, to add some discovery.overtime and add more mystery. Most of the game mechanics are now public, but I think that in MRCA II we will have a probing period as well. There are a lot more things to do in MRCA II, so it should be interesting. Quote
