TDM_2v2_Galleon: Two Galleons per faction.TDM_Fleet: This has one Galleon and two Hoys per faction.I’ll provide a brief listing of the game types: The in-game server browser has undergone a few improvements since I purchased the game just a few days ago, so if you use the Steam version, check again in a few days on the in-game and it may be more to your liking.įrom what I can tell, there are a few ‘game modes’, and depending on your preference this is probably the biggest factor in determining the right server for you. Once you are actually connected & in the game, in my experience my ping is about half of what either server browser reported. The game seems to falsely report higher pings to server browser queries. Last I checked, you can’t just click ‘Join Game’ from the Steam server browser though, so you will have to copy/paste the ip address into the direct connect feature in the game.Īnother thing to note, I wouldn’t put too much stock in the rediculously high pings shown in both the Steam and In-Game server browsers. If you don’t like the in-game server browser, you can use Steam’s built in server browser to find an appropriate server as well. You have more than one option for choosing a server.

Expect this section to become outdated quickly. Choosing a Serverīlackwake is under development and the server browser is currently being worked on. Blackwake devs, if you happen to read this guide, please add a toggle sprint option to the options menu to make this a little easier on us. There is really no reason not to sprint if you are not boarding or being boarded. Running around your ship is done with typical FPS controls, ‘W’ ‘A’ ‘S’ ‘D’ for movement, ‘Shift’ for sprint, ‘Ctrl’ for crouch, ‘E’ for use, and ‘Space’ for jump. If you’re just starting there won’t be too many options, so pick a head, some hair/beard (or not) and the color of said hair & beard. Leveling up is done through earning points, which is done by basically doing anything useful on the ship. More clothing and hat options unlock as you level up. Phase 5: Fire! (Variable on hit, or -40 points for a miss)įrom the main menu, there is a ‘Player’ section which allows you to change your appearance.
