Expedition Fleets!

[KeeperOfTheCode]

Hey, I just wanted any people on test servers to bring some screenies of the new Expedition Fleets here, so that we may enjoy and speculate in the mean-time.

[MacIronhawk]

Here's a thread where there's a few pictures in case you haven't already seen them.

The two new ships look really powerful, and I have a feeling they're going to be of some importance in the next story quest.

I was hoping to see things with a full view of the fleet, unharmed, or at very least, not in Davy Jones' Grasp. If anybody could get a screenie from the sailor's view, and not from the barrel of a cannon, please post.

I will do my best to get a shot of these ships as the sailor of my ship ( Shadow Cobra War Frigate ). When I do, I will stop by again and post it on this thread. Hopefully by the time I get the picture of it, the Ship Of The Line will have it's sails in tact ( As well as the EITC Tyrants having theirs in tact ).

Edit: Added picture of Navy Bastion. It is in tact, and I am steering my ship, the Dark Cobra. Hope that's a nice view.

[KeeperOfTheCode]

Great shot! Thanks for the Bastion. Looks very impressive. We pirates may not admit it, but the Navy are quite a sea power!

[CarribeanThunder]

Well, as soon as the EITC Expedition Fleet sets sail, I'll head over to get some shots of it. I'll edit THIS post and add the pictures of the Expedition Fleet...


...Just as soon as I can participate in one...

[CarribeanThunder]

Alright guys, so much for editing the last post. I've got a nice bunch of pictures for you all. Hopefully, they suit you guys well. I had to land between each picture so I could repair.

Well, enjoy the pictures!

Note: Picture 4 and 5's importance is to show that range of fire the EITC Tyrants and Leviathan have. Picture 5's importance is also showing the Tyrant's rage ( Hence Tyrant ).

[KeeperOfTheCode]

That's amazing! Even our most powerful guilds may have trouble taking on that fleet! Huge range too!

[CarribeanThunder]

Aye. The EITC Tyrants' range of fire is extremely large. What's shown in those pictures, I believe, is not the farthest - not even close. I've seen an EITC Tyrant fire at me from a little far from Tormenta, to me while I'm right near Cuba ( Although since it takes long for the shot to reach me, it was easy to dodge ).

Edit: An example of what I meant would be the second EITC Tyrant to the right in the first picture.

Maybe this has been answered in another thread.. but I am curious.. Do they announce this like they announce an invasion? Or do u just go sailing and just happen upon them?

[JM Ohara]

Man this makes me very very glad I have warships!!

The fleet attack is unscheduled, so its like an invasion.

however, there is no 30 minute countdown. we just set sail our ship upon the alert

Hawke,

Be prepared. It does not take much for The Fleet to sink any pirate War class ship. My War Frigate has been sent to Davy Jone's locker many a time in the same battle. Have found though that a War Sloop sometimes lasts longer because of it's speed and maneuverable.

Hopefully this hasn't been asked and answered already - but, do any of the EITC Fleet ships re-spawn if you sink them?

[Sven Osymthe]

No, they do not respawn.
