I would like more pirates and BH out at sea like you ( spartan) and naver.
But I don’t class traders as skill less, they just enjoy a different part of the game.
All this talk of skills is boring.
What makes a good maritimer.. let’s be honest now and sum it up.
“ someone who can spam repair and knows where to turn and when to shoot better than other people”
Wooow what a cause got celebration.
Real life achievements are far far greater and controlling a few pixels in an old game.
If you have an ego in this game im pretty sure it means you have nothing to be proud of in real life. And I’m sure that’s NOT the case with the two of you, so let’s keep this in perspective...it’s pixels.

First off all of you whom keep going off about "PVP is DEAD" couldn't be more wrong. Yes some of the old vets didn't return but there is a huge influx of new players as well as quite a few of us PVPers from OGP that did return. When i sail around i see all over the place people doing BR's and cannon/evasion grind, so players are working towards future events! Everyone is forgetting 2 important factors here!...
1) If the game was transferred (instead of reset) then yes we all could've continued playing our big group games like we did before but fact is we ALL had to start over. The server is ONLY 3 months old now and because of this it's UNREALISTIC to think that everyone would've just jumped straight back into maritime and grind their skills right away just so we could pvp again. Of course it 'seems' like pvp is dead now, but that's because there is only a small percentage of maritime players that went the full hardcore grind route. Also as time goes on more players now are older and have to work/go to school/ dead with their kids and families etc... so not everyone has had the time yet to get back to that lvl/ranks again. I am a pvp maritimer but due to lack of time only just finally got my ship finished 1 day before the BC event ended, and even then i still needed to top off management to use it at it's full abilities lol. But, i guarantee that i'll be in all the future events, as i'm sure others will to as the server is more developed.
2) Due to poor decision making on ticket content, there is a critical lack of important FS parts to properly mod the ships people need to play against top vets. Because of this, what parts that do exist on the server and that are not already used are being coveted by the people that have them, either to save for better future ships or they will sell at inflated prices. Part of this was also due negative speculation when the server first started about spending again after a reset and how long the new server would even last. For weeks before the launch the forums were flooded with negativity about the new server, so we kinda screwed ourselves in this respect. If there was more optimism and excitement about re-buying again then maybe there would've been more tickets sold early in the game so the parts would be alot easier to attain now. Just look at the reaction of people in BC when players with unfinished ships would try to join the games... The were treated negatively and pushed out of the event.
When i first joined OGP in late 2016 i was so inspired watching vids on youtube of those big battles between PAC/LJP and the others with guys like Battousai and Naver, nellemus's piracy vids, Havok's tutorials etc... Seeing those i thought "wow, i want to do that!" I was a big fan back then and even told you naver that i thought you guys were awsome (i'm such a groupie XD ) back on OGP . I worked hard learning the game and eventually was able to play in the big areas of BC/mock/ESF's but then OGP died :( Now on the new server i'm looking forward to getting back into doing a lot of pvp again as are others whom have been spending their time rebuilding, so give it time.
In the mean time, i think that if you guys were smart you could kickstart the maritime world. You have all these resources right at your fingertips with your experience as well as those great vids of some of those epic battles. Make like a 'battle of the day' link so players can check out what these battles are like, motivate them, give them something to work towards. Believe me you will see alot more intrest in maritime, piracy and BH. Now i'm just assuming that since you can make vid links here that you should be able to also do it ingame, but promoting maritime would be a benefit to papaya since maritime players probably the biggest spenders (you need to be to play in the big leagues lol), especially if you want to join pvp quickly rather then over time. Maybe gazi could speak with the GM's about the idea if you guys were onboard. I for one want to see the upcoming ESF event packed with people rather than just a few of us continually blasting each other back and forth. We might as well just do mock games then, but that's just my thoughts...
XD
I tried BC when it first opened only to realize that r10-12 cannon skills are no match for the few I was against that max refined already. (I still had fun, I don't get upset if I get sunk by someone better). It did make me re-dedicatee myself to the grind.
And hope that I will be better prepared for future events.
