Paltry treasure from Expedition Fleet on Open

[ex8404]

I get what you're saying BUT... 10,000 points for sinking a level 81 ship? That's asking for an awful lot. That means that after 4 Fleet Actions, a pirate could go from level 39 to 40... Seems a bit much.

On the other hand, asking for a player to join in on something like this and NOT give them ANYTHING? It is stuff like this that makes a player want to log off...

My theory? It is because you keep changing ships. The "points counter" resets every time you sink or swap ships. And it always has. As for rep?

An un-crewed SOLO Pirate has a notoriety cap of 115 points per weapon. The MAX notoriety you can earn is 230 per ship sunk. 115 for the ship to ship and 115 for the cannon to ship. And that, of course, depends on your level. Using +5 Fury will give fewer points than +1 Round Shot.

I went out with a crew and got 230 points off of the Conqueror... But I didn't sink or change ships...

No, I was specifically talking about gold/treasure. The enemy ship is supposed to be carrying 7 royals. Partaking of the sinking of it, should award those royals, but never does, on open. It most certainly did work that way on test.

Or are you suggesting the points counter relates somehow to treasure dropped? Actually, wait...what exactly do you mean when you say "points counter"? Pirate's point counter? Ship points counter? Enemy points counter? Weapon points counter? Crew's points counter?
