Re: Stealth Mode

Board » General Discussion

Yeah stealth mode would take away a lot of the fun and learning, examining, utilizing other sailors strategies, etc.

I think anyway someone following another sailor contantly will become more and more unpopular in the community.

I agree with last post by Paul, a great improvement to the DC feature would be to predict like he said the track if a DC is set... I'm not too sure if it's easy or really difficult with many DCs applied, but would be of assistance and ultimately perhaps increase competitiveness

Thanks, Alex

Had noticed a member mentioning that but at the time i did not have any similar experience...

However since yesterday i too experience some framerate issues while moving the cursor on map, cursor seems jerky and no fine tuning in order to steer is possible...

anyone have any ideas or similar experience on this?

thanks

Interesting first race with 4 boats yesterday early evening with Kz7 (Victory), Jakob, NED Arthur and myself ...

Strong competitors and prospective races in future...
1. Kz7 (victory)
2. NED Arthur
3. Jakob
4. Anemos (alxxx)

I had to take 2 x 360 penalties due to phone calls irl

Stay tuned for future races.

My opinion is that the magic of SOL and everyone's head scratching on making tactics will be lost with all sorts of tools calculating all sorts of stuff...

When i loose i blame myself or my indedission, if i have so many tools i will blame the program or whoever develops it... I too have respect for brain, because he does real navigation and data utilisation...

I am certain that bringing so many tools that will be out of our knowledge of what they actually do or how they do it will take the game to a different level, certainly will take away the fun part...

I have not been long in SOL, maybe longer than others and witnessed the first talks about router programs and what these new toys were doing... From then to now, judging by the attitude in the chat I think everything has been more serious about their presence in SOL, which is not bad, it's just not my cup of tea

Friendly rgds

Guys I don't know what happens with the server I'm really sorry... At the moment am trying to figure out if its a problem with my firewall and port forwarding...

I could join you on another host perhaps...
Hopefully tomorrow noon time I will be able to host a race

Apologies once more

Hi Derek...

we will have a small fleet race then... look for SOL room (host)...

I have never created a race but should be straight fwd... I will lock it with a pass (p = SOL) to avoid any other from joining...

We can have a nice chat too during racing

Sat. 16UTC (GMT)

I pressume you have VSK installed either the paying version or the free VSKonline version...

When you click Multiplayer there are rooms (hosts) with races... I will setup a race around that time named SOL ofcourse
