So I decided that the way the society and tavern index pages looked wasn't really very user friendly. I mean, so you got a list of societies and captains but you didn't get to know anything about them without finding what you were interested in and clicking on it.
The new look pages, rather than giving a block of listings with just a picture and a name attempt to counter this problem by providing some more useful information. The society listings now show you some useful and interesting stats about the groups, and likewise with the captain listings.
Theres also some extra goodies on the society pages for the leaders to edit - there is now a specific place for a web link back to your own pages if you have one (I do ask that you return the favour with a link back to www.potbs-companion.net), as well as a new option for setting the 'focus' of your organisation - whether you're casual, PvP, economic, and so on. This should make the site more informative as well as being a useful recruitment tool.
Now is a great time to update your society listing and check your text, and invite your in game members to the site to build up your numbers. Likewise, if you've got a captain profile then you might want to edit it and fill in the 'back story' box - its just a bit of fun, so you can write a little story about how your captain came to be who they are.
Let me know what you think of the new pages!
To the site manager: I believe that the gun weight/broadside damage/DPS is incorrectly being displayed for Multi-Gun Deck Ships. The ships with more than one deck are not calculating correctly, they are severely low sided. Also the normal Lvl 10 "El Dragon Barque" is not in the ship list.
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks for your comment. The El Dragon is listed in the database (http://www.potbs-companion.net/shipyard/overview.php?id=128).
ReplyDeleteIf you can give me an example of where the gun weights are calculating incorrectly for a ship I will look into it. Remember the "Broadside Weight" is only for one side of the ship, and is representative of the weight of a single volley. The total firepower of the ship would be effectively double, however this would require firing both sides at one target which is impossible without manoevering. Swivel guns are not counted on the broadside as they are ineffective beyond 100yds.
