Naval Action is an MMO (Massive Multi-player On-line) simulation game created by Game-Labs http://www.navalaction.com/

Naval Action is an exciting, realistic, and beautifully detailed naval combat game immersing players into the experience of the most beautiful period of naval history - when sailing ships ruled the seas.

The action is centered in and around the Caribbean in the Golden Age of Sail when many nation states were laying claim to territories and hungering for the goods of the new world. SAILING AND NAVIGATION

Breathtaking open world based on 18th century historical maps gives you an opportunity to explore the 18th Century Caribbean. More than 365 historical ports based on their real locations are scattered across the map. Map is enormous - you cannot see another shore of lake Maracaibo.

Unlike other games the Open World Map does not identify the player position. Captains are expected to navigate using landmarks and compass. This brings back the feeling of getting lost at sea into the computer gaming experience. Wind and Weather conditions make travel easier or harder requiring tacking and reducing visibility of the shores and landmarks. Heavy weather also allows for sneak attack on enemy fleets and in PvP sneak attacks on ports.

Water depth is important and there are large areas available only to light ships. If you are not interested in sailing heavy frigates or ships of the line, you can move out to Bahamas’ sand banks and only sail your favorite brig without fear of encountering a heavy super frigate.

Advanced wind and physics model provides for realistic portrayal of ship’s performance in the age of sail. Yard angles, ship angle to wind, cargo, fittings and ship condition affects speeds and turning rates. Correct tacking, box-hauling, club-hauling and other elements of the age of sail sailing are possible. Hidden ship characteristics will allow gradually uncovering the potentials of each vessel – every ship in game will be unique.

These factors not only apply in navigating the Open World but also in combat. COMBAT
