CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!!! Well done my fellow Pirates!

Thank you sir!

Just created a simple website with a port timers quadrant. http://mdb-dev.es/NavalPorts/ It's simply awesome to finally have an API BTW, What charset is it encoded in? UTF-8 seems to be unable to read the special characters :S

Your words, man... we did not start the war... and you know shit about what's up inside the spanish faction. I'm tired of this anyway, have it your way if you wish, at least we get to fight properly now

That is untrue, sir. But whatever... We just tried to do things as we thought that would be better for the nation, but at every point in the road someone put a stick into our wheels. That is why we just leave Spain to be able to keep fighting you as we have always done. That is what we find attractive in this game.

I heard some reinforcements from the west are on their way...

I don't play with them but I have good friends there, if you're a pirate, you should definitely contact them. PS.: Pantora open the gates.

+1, Game mechanics gone rogue, sort it with a fix and clarify that it's not permitted (officially).

IMHO, this "exploit", and I find it way too hard to call it that, was a clever use of game mechanics and should not be even punished. What should be done is to modify the mechanics to avoid somehitng this stupid to happen again. Having the flag bearer to need a bigger ship is a good start, but IMO there should be some more limitations: Bearer should have a high enough rank to enter the battle Bearer should be in a clan: not that I hate clanless people, but conquering stuff requires organisation and that's what clans are supposed to be there for If you really want to punish the guy / guys, I'd go with a warning and a ban for the next port attack blocking offense by anyone.

Let's keep this simple, Spanish and British couldn't get to an agreement because of fuckups in both sides. Britain has a lot more population and on top of that, it is better spread around the timezones, but Spanish guys are relentless and love a fight (at least my guys ). Conclusion: Let's fight and have fun, wasn't this a war game? Regards.

That's ridiculous, flag interception is and should be a valid tactic. Period.

I don't personally like the fact that you can block a port capture buying a flag like that, but IMHO that is not the worst problem right now. It could be fixed limiting the minimum rank that can buy flags. This is a beta, these things are useful for the devs to improve the mechanics if they manage to learn from them.

My suggestions: -Make port timers dual, 6 or 12 hours apart (For instance 5pm - 11pm or 5pm - 5am) -Give extra XP to underpopulated nations son more people is willing to join them -Diplomacy and alliances system, faction and clan based. Make it so a clan can ally with a nation, a nation with another one, and so on. -Voting system for faction decision making, even the selection of a high admiral or something like that would be great. The points exposed by the OP are quite good, but i'd leave out anything that limits player freedom.

Pues eso, espero que os guste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiBRbhqz4ZE

Just made a quite funny video about AI skillful navigation: https://youtu.be/823zQtAGc9g I know it's not a priority, but please make the AI ships dodge their masters
