I've queued for a coop game and it resulted me being in a team with 8 bots. I left the game. I got a teamkill penalty for it. Why? What's the point? I left no humans behind...

Indeed, this. I want to see what a camouflage looks like on a ship, and preferably also how to obtain the camouflage (doubloons/event/etc). Is this possible in any way?

So, the Captain's Logbook shows all kind of stuff you can collect. Problem is, it doesn't seem to tell you how to collect any of the items, where to get them, or what you need to do to obtain them. Obviously some things are for sale for doubloons or any currency/resource, but many things aren't. How do I collect these Commanders, listed in the Captain's Logbook, for those who are not for sale in the Armory?

Well, I don't have a lot of experience in operations, but one can only learn by doing so. As far as I've understood, Narai is pretty much the only operation people consider worth doing. I don't know how long it'd take me to find a group for any of the other operations, especially since I have zero experience with them, and people may prefer to take a more experienced person in their fleet. Something to lower the bar to get into operations would've been nice. The more people can do operations, the more people will get some experience doing them. The easier it is to get into operations, the easier it'll be to find a group of players to do an operation.

@MrConway, the main reason I don't play operations much is the time needed to form a team. I expect to play operations much more frequently if the process of getting into a team would be faster. Perhaps an automated queue system would speed up the process. I do like the gameplay operations have to offer.

Queueing for a coop game, seeing that 9 people are within my battle tier range, but still getting a team with 6 or more bots...

Well that's nice. Thanks for the quick reply :)

Oh that would be a relieve. Thanks for the reply. Will that mean that I'd loose the Kirov, or will I get to keep it (and basically get an extra premium ship)?

Question: I'm currently progressing through the Russian cruiser tech tree and I'm currently at the tier 5 Kirov working towards tier 6. Considering the Kirov will be taken out of the tech tree, what will happen to the XP I'm currently collecting towards my tier 6 tech tree ship?

I guess nothing is simple. But I do agree with OP. For me personally, I like the prices of the lower tier ships (tier 4 and below), but since those don't count towards missions/directives, I'm hesitant to buy these. The higher tier ships do interest me, but these prices are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY above anything I'm willing to spend on a virtual ship. I'm actually surprised there are people spending that much money on them, but that's totally fair game. I do wish there were more frequent sales/discounts or there was more variation in price for higher tier ships. But I guess that's how the market works.

I do not like the fact that despite participating in the event, there's no guaranteed rewards. Random bundles seem to be the only way to spend the tokens. I know any reward I get from the event is extra, as without event I would've gotten nothing. Still, I don't like gambling and I would've prefered if tokens could also be used to unlock things that didn't rely on RNG. I prefer the system they used in the Italian Cruiser event, where there's a limited amount of bundles, so each opened bundle increased the chance to unlock the main reward; Genova. Plus there were other things to spend the tokens on, that did not rely on RNG. I do hope part 2 of the British Heavy Cruisers event does have some things to spend tokens on that do not rely on RNG.

Any other coop/scenario players are free to toss me an invite to do some divisions in coop/scenario mode. More fun playing together :)

I quite like coop games as well. I pretty much play no PvP at all. It's way more relaxed. Sure, progression is slower, but I don't mind. :)

My current clan seems to be pretty inactive, and I'm looking for something more active. I'm a coop player, interested in PvE gameplay. I'm in it for fun and relaxation, not to win. But so far I can't seem to find any clan with like-minded people. This topic is an attempt to find them :P

I would've loved to be able to fully finish the Dockyard building progress. It's not so much I care about the reward unlocked, but more so about seeing all the steps and slowly see a ship being completed. I wish they wouldn't have used it for some limited-time event to unlock a premium ship that isn't meant to be unlockable for free. They could've used a smaller reward and give us enough time to actually complete it at our own pace.

Already happening. The current event grind is undoable with coops reduced XP/creds income. I doubt people will farm coop for creds/xp as long as PvP still earns more income. I think people will just play whatever game mode they like the most. I don't mind the reduced creds/XP gain, I'm just progressing through the game at a much slower pace and totally fine with that. I do worry about the stories about T9-T10 coop games being unprofitable and actually loosing creds. If that's true, T8 might as well be end-game for me with no desire to continue progressing. I'll see what happens. I still have some battles to do to even get at those tiers.

I mainly play coop and the grinds for XP and creds have held me back massively. I'm currently progressing through D2 but I don't expect to complete it in time. Shame really. I had hoped the Gorizia would've been an achievable goal, but it seems undoable for a coop player like me.

I wonder when they'll be gone from my collection of ships. Thanks in advance :)

As a coop player it happened to me a few times. I try to be careful not firing any torps in a direction where allied ships are near or may be heading to. Although it does happen that in the heat of battle I forget to look and launched the torpedos before I took a careful look. Totally my fault. I try to warn the player and apologize after the hit, that's the only thing I can do at that point. I try to launch torps only at extremely close range (especially since I get the feeling bots sense the torps coming from long range anyways) so I'm more certain the torps will hit the intended target. And when any allies are near (either between me and the target, or the target is between me and the ally) I just don't take the shot. It's not worth the risk.

I've got a 25% discount coupon for "Ships for Doubloons" in the armory expiring soon, and so I'm looking for a ship to use it on. Quite a few options though and it isn't easy to compare them. So I wonder if any of you could help me reach a decision. - At least tier V - Relying on gunpower more than torpedos - Relying on survivability more than concealment - Not dreadfully slow, but not necessarily very fast - Prefering several smaller guns with fast reload time over a big gun with long reload - Prefering medium/short range guns and secondary battery over long range guns. - Available in the "Ships for Doubloons" category in the armory I guess Cruiser would be best fit for the above, but I'm keeping my options open for any battleships and destroyers that might be cruiser-alike. Thanks in advance for any recommendations you have. :)

Indeed, I mainly play co-op with only the occasional PvP battle to complete objectives that cannot be completed in coop. Reaching higher tiers with coop games is slow enough. At least Tier V ships count towards Directives. Tiers VI and VII have the added bonus that they can be used in operations. As far as I'm aware there's no other new PvE game modes unlocked at tiers VIII, IX and X, or am I missing something here?

Never done operations. Total newbie. I recently unlocked a tier VI ship, but I'm hesitant to just jump into an Operation since I don't know what to expect, and what my teammates would expect from me. How do I prepare for an Operation? Do I need my ship equipped with signals, consumables, upgrades, and a well-trained commander? Anything else I should know before I participate in an Operation?

I have a 2 hour slot in between just-came-home-from-work and going-to-bed-because-I-need-to-get-up-early-for-work-tomorrow. Just bad luck I guess...

Well, that small piece of useful information was hidden on a place I didn't expect it. Thanks a lot for the quick reply! :)

Just wondering what the deadline is to spend them, to make a plan what the best way is to actually spend them. :)
