No, sadly there are no deck animations during boarding, currently. In fact the entire boarding minigame is said to be a placeholder while they work on other things, so it's possible this will change...

Getting to know the Rattlesnake by practicing "rageboarding" versus an AI trade ship. Rather gamey but quite effective :)
P.S. - this trader was a...

Congrats Jim!
I just got the Rattlesnake BP to drop yesterday - I'm tremendously excited, she looks to be the finest ship for privateering in the game so far. Had a very interesting 1v1 PVP duel...
Speaking of Shapeways, wouldn't it be great to simply come up with some size-appropriate 3D printed masts & sails for this schooner conversion?
Or for that matter, wouldn't it be lovely if some...
I'm going to have a go with it, too, Dobbs. It would be great fun to accommodate these ships in the game! I'm such a schooner fanboy I can barely stand it.
I'll look forward to reading about what...
Here's something kind of fun that demonstrates the influence of sail setting and relative wind direction on the speed of a typical fore-and-aft rigged boat:...
With all due respect - "debate" makes it sound much more contentious than I feel comfortable with. I believe we are simply trying to introduce mechanics for fore-and-aft rigged ships that do not...
I understand this (and understood it well, before your reply) but am not sure what I am to take from it?
Sure, with an unmodified Thorn card, she'd sail closer to the wind, but she'd be in...
Not sure what happened, but I quickly re-made the card using your Enterprise as the base.
My understanding is that a schooner (or any multi-mast rig) can't sail quite as close to the wind as a...
I love the cannonball splashes from the misses!
I'm positive the devs are going to keep a dedicated PVE server, if the merge happens it will be to bring the three PVP servers together.
92 on PVE isn't bad, PVP1 had something like 285 when I...
I think the red zone is probably pretty close but the orange and green should be reversed... the fore-and-aft rigged ships are pretty fast on a close reach, at their fastest point of sail on a beam...
Many of the Baltimore Clipper / revenue cutter/ privateer schooners from this era were in the 90-120' range if I'm not mistaken, so I think using the Thorn (which was 90' long if I'm not mistaken) as...
Reposting something I typed up yesterday for the Naval Action forums, after a very fun evening on PVP1, where I sail for the Spanish crown as Sanson Carrasco:

I logged on last night thinking...
That's very cool! Thanks for sharing your project.
Wow, these are so cool! I'm so very tempted to try my hand as well. Congrats on a job very well done.
Wow, these are fantastic! Great job.
My suggestion would be to keep the maneuver deck of the Thorn, but make the "no go" red zone smaller (maybe *just* the bow edge?) to reflect the better...
Wow tell me more about this Baltimore Clipper conversion! My one regret is that there are no schooners in SoG currently. I love your conversion!
I'm starting to warm up a bit more, I think I just needed to get a better feel for how specific maneuver decks play out on the tabletop.
Raking really is such fun :)
...
I get the historical angle, I really do, but consider what has been for me a very typical situation in SoG, something that happens almost every time I play:
Two ships approach one another and veer...
I've played Sails of Glory for a few years now and, while I'm far from an expert with the system, I've played enough to have formed a few impressions of the game.
One of the things that bothers me...
I'm a little worried about the playerbase, too. I've been watching the numbers decline on PVP1. A month ago it was 800+ when I'd join around 8-9pm PDT, now it's below 400. Server reset happens at...
So, I'm still playing a ton of Naval Action, have around 350hrs in game so far.
The land-in battles are awesome and I'm really pleased with how they have been implemented.
There are some...
Congrats Jim! That Santisima looks magnificent.
I'm still playing a ton of Naval Action, to the detriment of my motivation/time available to play tabletop games, I'm sorry to say.
I don't know...
