Is there any way the GMs could hand out career respecs as well? I assume you want us to be testing a variety of builds, as well.

Not this time... We mostly want you to beat each other up and let us know how the career you picked works out, skillwise.

fraxl, reading the forums Pirates appear to be disadvantaged in Port battles.
It's not clear if it is because of nationals having Sols, don't put decent fittings on their 1 dp captured ships or that their skills are lacking.

Okay, so you guys want to simulate players picking apparently-good, but potentially-crappy builds, and getting that feedback?

As I posted here http://www.burningsea.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29356

I am hoping when it was announced today the power lvling was closed, that it reopens. Cause seems the only national Ive found to not run was a lvl 5 who attacked me in a skuda (major props to him he wouldn't even let me demast him and sail away demanded I finished the job)

I am half in the thinking guys only wanted to do this outta a greed issue with no intentions in using it for proper feedback. One would think you guys give free ships, free amo etc.. list goes on. That they would at least allow brutal battles to occur instead of sadly having to chase down nationals who only want to run and grind pve.

We gave level boosts to 47 players (including you) who had confirmed level 50 characters on other servers. They got ships and other goodies to use for PvPing and they have been giving quite a bit of feedback.

My hope is that people will continue to play on testbed over the weekend and next week. We're working on getting people organized to be on at the same time, too. We definitely want your feedback!
