This is correct. You will only see the captain if you have an ARP ship, and yes the 'Continue' button is 'greyed' out for me too.

Skybuck, please watch.

2 words...... Steel Ocean, say no more....

The big [edited] starts a winky waving contest.........

You have come up with some very good suggestions so far, but the above suggestion of temporarily extending the range of secondary armament is a bit too much. The basis of the suggestion is spot on, but I would say what would be more apt for a 'secondary armament boost' is for no dispersion and 100% accuracy for secondary armament for this consumable. In a nutshell, any ship coming within the secondary armament range WILL get hit no matter what. The rest of the suggestion is viable and a commendable one.

You ungrateful little tike. Be thankful WG are actually doing something (more so for the anime fans) like this for the players that is very doable. Unlike you I am very thankful and will take my time and savour the missions........

Confused as the OP is actually a pretty decent player who has no problem killing ships. Kill stealing? not here. They already do damage amassed for some of the missions so getting kills is just a small part of the equation.

To be frank, no. We need more details to be helpful.

Hmm, the 'named' player in the OP's post has never sailed in a DD so am wondering whether they have the 'right' player. Naming and shaming is one thing (as pointed out above) but blaming an innocent player is another.......

Some will never let go, quit waving your 'I know more about history' epeen here. This thread was created to give us info about the game from the RU not to be host to your pathetic arguments. Want to chat about political history? Bugger off down the pub and argue about it there...... pfffft

I personally would still go for concealment. But, your immediate opponents are other Shimmy captains with which there are numerous at the moment. With active radar incoming (this may affect the amount of DD's there are at the high tiers) so with that in mind, ditch concealment and add AFT to stealth fire but that really goes away from what the Shimmy is all about, stealth. Has to be about your personal preferences and how YOU play your DD's, a tough call but others no doubt with better experience can shed some more thoughts.

The problem lies in the mod having a different name for every version. If it was the same name you would not have this issue (BullGuard is the same)

I agree, whilst some exceptional players continue to amass karma points many lose them because, as you say, 'salty' players report you solely to make you lose a karma point. To underline this I will relay a good example from the weekend. I was suicidal enough to take out my Arkansas Beta (only because it was x2!) and the result at the end looked impressive (Kraken and 100k damage). It was the last 5 minutes of the battle that marred it. teams were down to 2 players each, enemy had full health Zuiho and 50% Wyoming. There was me at 10% and a full health Wyoming on our team. The enemy CV was targeting me all the time (love having no AA!) so as I felt the CV being the easiest target went off to get him. My lovely allied friend was then barking orders to come and support him and I tried to explain that one salvo from the Wyoming would finish me. In the meantime I did sink the CV (3k HP left now) and went on then to support grumpy, he did without any problem get the better and sink the last enemy but continued to berate me in chat for not supporting him and calling me chicken. Of course getting back to port I was not surprised to see one less point on my karma. That is why the current system sucks, too many players who abuse it for their own means.

Somebody giving good structured tactical advice (like Trigger happy Dad) are a bonus to the game and not giving chat abuse. If you want to play a team game act like a team player and not a solo warrior, you would be appreciated a lot more (also you may learn good tactics). I prefer players offering advice, it shows they ARE trying to play as a team. But back to the OP, not sure about your suggestion as like the karma/report system, it gets abused by the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

Not sure if it helps but if you go into 'go to your profile', then 'settings' in the dark brown bar next to 'Settings' is a button for 'Forums'. From there you can edit how you like the threads to be displayed etc.

I use Aslains mod and Monstrofils ship health indicator for that - Aslains thread here. Sample (ignore the skulls as that is my addition)

Ditto, except my Kamikaze captain looks like this;

Created skull and crossbones in black for dead ships. Here

Odd. Try deleting preferences.xml and restarting the game. This file will be created again but it means you will have to recreate your in game preferences etc

@ both - if you can attach a copy of your Dxdiag report that will help in a diagnosis. @Duke_of_Asia - Am assuming you are running Win 7 from the screenshots?

@allufewig & @chazwozza Guys, get Vukked or go on a date and make up. Hmm, worst Premium? Mikasa. Stays in the port unless I want some mindless fun then take her out in PvE. Trick is NEVER use the main guns and see how much damage the secondaries do, pointless but relieves tension after some zombie filled PvP games!

On 0.5.3.0 using Aslains 5.3.0.06, I have damage counter, minimap mod, training room enabler and smoke rings working as intended.

It is strange as all the max zoom does is change one value from 50 to 100 (at work so cannot declare which line). Are you using one of the modded loading screens? List all the mods you select from Aslains as that will help.

Hate Bounty, make it a Mars bar and I am interested

A little tweak for Player's Panel with HP bars (by Monstrofil). I have changed the icons for dead ships to black as it gives a quicker indication of how many ships have been sunk. The icons are found in this folder; Modified icons. Either copy over or save the original files and replace.
