    you don't that is just a ideal situation for a blood thirsty pirate, who could con you , get you lined up perfectly and shoot canons full force at you lol

    I'll always remain friendly unless im fired upon or boarded without permission. People having mics at the ready seriously helps. The proximity chat is a god send.

    If we had some sort of firework load for cannons... That would rock.

    But, I'd say that different flags for different occasions should be implemented. White, Faction colored, or Black Flag.
    That makes the most sense. With the spyglass, you'd be able to see the flags from a distance, and approach accordingly.

    @skeletonpiratex Spyglass will be very useful for this. Unless they use the Nelson ploy. (put glass to eyepatched eye and say, I see no 'friendly' lol)

    Agree, flags would be a good addition.

    @ajm123 You ever play DayZ? The 'Friendly in Cherno' shout still maked me shiver lol :p

    Shouting FRIENDLY is as good an idea as any. I think anything will ultimately depend on if the person actually means it so yep, be prepared.

    From my experience in the alpha the last thing I'm going to do to signal my peaceful intentions is unload my weapons or cannon. I'll stick to flashing lanterns and playing music.

  • Nola Evermore

    @crude-jc-gamer LOL, or Harharhar

  • Ross9art

    @stainless001
    Friendly? Why? We are pirates! No friends only the bucks we robbed!
    White flag? Only to show 'we want not fight - please let me live.
    We are easy prey'?.
    Or in german: Weicheier und Warmduscher an Bord!
    No mercy!

  • Madame Ching

    I will wave, jump. flick my lantern for you, welcome you and your crew aboard for grog offer the show you our treasure chests, and as you lead the way to take a look shoot everyone one of you in the back!

    There's no crying in SoT!

    I think i will signal i am friendly, is shooting a cannon across your bowsprit.

    How will me and my buds signal we are friendly....if we do not unload all of our cannons into your haul, we are friendly.

    We used to follow the 'we only fire if they fire first' mentality, but we soon realized that those who engage first hold the advantage.

    Does this mean in SoT we will go around attacking everyone on sight, of course not, but if we are looking for some fun engaging combat then sure, why not parley the parley and let the cannons sound in fun naval combat.

    Remember, pirates do it for the booty.
