Supplies

its not enough when you want to play pvp.

From what I read. The supplies regardless of they double or triple. It’s never ever enough.

@huibuh34 they should just let everyone individually buy once

So people with an alt (or maybe a second Pirate on their profile) can buy supplies and then log off that account and log in with their primary account ?

@lem0n-curry why would anyone do that, that would be maximum effort for minimal profit :p

You can already dive to a new outpost to keep buying supplies

Why would anyone ever do that? No one needs that many supps

To have more than their opponent obviously...
If your crew and the other crew can get 5 pineapples each, wouldn't you like to have 10 each ?

Or to have supplies for the next fight (assuming the first crew you fight, spend most of their supplies).

When my duo and I multy-buy supplies (fruit and meat), they usually last ~5 fights. Sometimes when we finish our hg session, we even have more food than at the beginning.

No one needs 5 alt-accounts just for the reason of buying more supplies. At a certain point, it doesn't matter if you have 10, 20 or 100 pineapples.
But there is all the more difference whether you have 4 or 10 pineapples

Never said you'd need 5 alt accounts, but if a galleon crew all use their alt account it would take about the same amount of time as one using theirs.
Most people who cheat to get one extra crate of each will use cheats (or cheese) to get multiples.

Multi-buying supps isn't a cheat or do you need third party programms to do it?

It's unintended, it gives people using it an unfair advantage and IMHO cheating isn't confined by using third party software/hardware, but if you want to call it just an exploit is fine by me.

It's not that I can report you for it - perhaps when I notice two people from the same crew walking away from the Merchant with the same crate(s), but that's very unlikely.

Currently I would be happer if I always got the supplies I bought instead of being short changed in one session and randomly given double in the second.

Extra supplies only matter at the very start of the session or just after being sunk. If you are alive for 15 to 20 minutes you should have more than enough by raiding barrels.

So aside from consistency.

1. scale the supplies to ship size a bit more, sloops are fine as is.
2. meat purchased from shipwright should be cooked
3. add in a meat/fish crate to hunters call shop. It has 4 of each meat type (uncooked & not meg oor kracken)
4. if you raise HG you can buy one bonus storage crate from the Stanger or skelly at each outpost, this has extra supplies scaled to the ship size including chain shot but not meat. Crate resets after each time you are sunk.
5. Red barrels at sea forts respawn every 15 min as well and each one always has 2 chain, 2 blunder and 2 fire.

.
Result. Faster Hg turn around & resupply after a big fight. More time sailing in adventure and if you really what a ton more supplies, sea forts pretty much always have 150 cannon, 6 chain and 6 BB/FB.

None of this is game breaking and is more than enough supplies.
