Expedition Fleet has Launched - March 11, 2010

[Tom Sharkwash]

So this is out on open?

[combatlizzy]

Just experienced one on open. Unfortunately, there were only 2 ships that came to fight. A war frigate & my galleon since my alt is only sailing 14. I acted as decoy & sat right in front of Mother ship & hit it with explosives. Didn't seem to hurt it at all. Experienced no lag & as to be expected I got sunk. By the time I got back, the announcement came that the EITC Fleet had survived and was on it's way to Patron. Oh well, better luck next time-hopefully more pirates will be on to stop the expedition.

Don't remember them not annoucing invasions right from the start.

This might be a temporary event, but pirates online site doesn't say anything about the Fleet only running thru the 15th. The announcement of the fleet launch has no dates listed in it.

And I agree with Captain Whale, D needs to up the toughness of the fleet to where it was when it was first released on test.

If you go to the main page of pirates online.com it clearly says the dates.

Sure enough it does! Odd that they put over a week into hyping something that will only be 4 days long. It sure does explain the almost continuous run of invasions an fleets yesterday. Course after 4 days of that I imagine a fair few pirates will be going out of their minds sick of constant notices.....

This is very significant! I think pretty much ever since the game started, Jolly and the EITC have been in cahoots. Now, that's suddenly off. The possibiblities are endless!

Just had fleet invasion with gms Sandra Tew and Bonnie O'Bailey....they crewed after the alarm(Abassa server, Port Royal at dock), and by the time crowd calmed down, etc. annoucement that fleet had been sunk,,,so they found another server just started and announced it to crews, but only myself and a couple of others tp'd to it...very quiet server so couldn't crew anymore in time and friends were slow,,,too slow gettin there,,,but it was exciting and we took down one whole Tyrant...lol before being surrounded,,,and sunk...only ship there,,,so funny but not funny...I only managed a few screenies...

These fleets are a tough bunch indeed. They are especially tough for the pirate first-responders who are in the vicinity of the fleet as soon as the message of the fleet deployment pops up. I and 3 other mates each had a war frigate with full crews. All 3 of my mates were sunk within a few minutes of engagement head on with the fleet ships. Then an armada of pirates came in and we eventually sank them all but my ship was nearly destroyed.

Even with Explosive it takes little damage. These East India Trading Company Fleets are tough.
