Spocean - Woodpunk pseudo-napoleonic FPS naval warfare!

Here's the RPS article - looks mighty interesting. Tough to download, and I'm sure there will never be enough servers....

"Spocean is fundamentally very different.  Teams start on two separate ships, fire cannon shot at each other, and then try to board when they have the advantage."

Sounds like Pirate Ship Wars (A Gmod thing) in concept. I liked that, this might be interesting.

I'll be seeding. Can't seem to actually join any of the three servers :\ No message, no nothing.

Oy, the main download claimed 13 hours to download and then declared it was done after 3 MB. O_o

I surely don't trust those other links, they aren't linked to from the official site.

Well, I used the torrent and am currently seeding. I doubt someone would get a 300mb download up with some virus real quickly on a release for a game nobody's heard of;P

Still no join getting into servers though :(

Because the solution to not being able to control your dakka is MOAR DAKKA.

That's it. We've finally crossed over and become the nation of Da Orky Boyz.

There was a pirate mod for BF1942 that was a lot of fun. It was never very popular though.

It had some problems like there not being much for the sailors to do.  Even on ships where cannons could be individually controlled it still only took 4 or 6 people to use them. Anyone played it? Do people stay busy? How does it pick who steers the boat?

Whitefangs mirror is ok, I've been playing it a bit. Although I don't know how. I managed to shoot a cannon, and then die.

Watching that video answered several of my questions and got me really excited. Looks like cannons have to be loaded manually and parts of the ship can break open, requiring repairs to put them back together.

It looks really good. It reminds me of the WoW art style but with updated graphics.
