  1. Set up an outpost in the bahamas. Shroud cay or something there. Plenty of small ships, plenty of players. You can trade if you want, do pve and pvp in pretty inexpensive ships
  2. I am putting up a bounty. 100 k reals if you kill him 1v1. If mo kills him 1v1 he gets 200k To promote mortar brigging, 2 million real if you kill him in a mortar 1v1
  3. Why always this clan based approach i really dont get it. I see more of an issue with no real diplomatic setup at the moment and also no real insentive to go any nation thats available. Doesnt matter if you play as pirate; GB, Spain or whatever. You have the same ships and fight for the same ports. Make a decent system for diplomacy where you have allied and enemy nations. Have more ships in the game so that you can only craft the ships relevant to you nation. I know what a pitty for the smaller nations that they can not sail around in Oceans or Santissimas but the seas have too many of these ships as is.
  4. You will also need to have a system of marque. I am thinking of where you can buy it for PvP marks in the admiralty and you receive a letter of marque for x amount of time so you can sail around and attack any ship ship except from you allies. This would also give content to people that want to do PvP I think only lord protectors should be able to vote on who is an ally or not. Might get more people into RvR and get protector status. The purely clan based aliance system at the moment would not work as we can not see the name or clan tag in OW
  5. I dont really agree with the suggestions. Dont feel we really need more outposts. Yes it would be nice to have but now you have to make some decisions on what you want to do and where you want to set up an outpost. And it is true i rage sometimes as well that i would like to have 2 more or 3 or 4 but the nuumber is what it is. If they would add more outpost lets say that you will need to pay a daily tax on it. Then it would work for me. Then it is still a choice to be made and it would just drain money if you dont use it. The same goes for more dock space. You can dock lets say 2 ships in a port for free. If you want to use more dock space its ok but you will have to pay for the space you take up in the docks (a bit roleplaying thinking) I do agree with the free fleet perk and yes please eliminate this random fire mode or at least let us assign a button or 2 for switching between 100 and 250 metres. Now it is just annoying when you are in a brawl on 1 side and long distance on the other
  6. I like the idea as well and it would be nice if you could get a letter of marque in the admiralty either for your clan or for yourself to become a temporary privateer. But would really have to be limited to small ships maybe until a 5th rate.
  7. in theory it would give you choice. Inpracticality you always see the same ships over and over. A trinc, a belle poule never seen them in a port battle. But yeah i have seen port battles where every side has practically the same set up and very few players
  8. Dont know how difficult it is for the devs to develop bu if a port battle would be like a lot of FPS games there is a limit of slots available. A port battle shouldnt be all 1st rates. So instead of having the system with the BR you can have a system that allows x amount of 1st rate, x amount of 2nd, etc etc. This way then you can add a troop carrier in there as well and have a specific target for them to go to. Lets say they have a circle D and for the bigger ports even an E next to the big square forts. This would mean a lot more coordination and tactics. Capital ships can attack, smaller frigates can defend circles or harras big ships. Smaller support vessels also have their objective like capturing circles, destroying the forts and dropping troops off. Just some random thoughts.
  9. I love sailing that boat. I can not imagine anyone not wanting to sail it. Yes you get sunk a lot, yes you do not get respect from the people in the 1st rates, yes no one will defend you but hey thats all the fun of it.
  10. There was our whole port battle fleet in the circle
  11. @adminAt the port battle of Salamanca we sailed in our PB fleet of first and second rates and me as the mortar brig. We were all in the same battle group to up our BR to more then 10000. While sailing through the screeners several 1st rates got tagged but nothing happened, however when i in the mortar brig was tagged i was dragged in to a battle together with another of our screening groups. None of the people in my battle group got dragged in. I also did an F11
  12. I leave my smuggler flag on when sailing because otherwise when i want to go to an enemy port to get some resources and i forget to put it on i have to go back to a friendly port and turn it on. The suggestion of alt accounts is utter nonsense
  13. It was something we discovered allready a long time ago when looking for missions in shallow water and for certain ports there was only one mission possible in deep water. We talked about it that this could be used as an exploit to stack like 5 missions in the same spot and this would counter the enemy to join this mission however we never used this exploit. Dont think that the devs can actually do anything about this though as the crosswords appear in the same exact spot. I think it will be one of those things where we as players have to be fair and not use some metagaming exploit. The only way i see it is that the game will only generate unique hostility missions and that there is a cap of how many hostility missions can be generated per port.
  14. You can still do it but you need to take a single admiral mission and hope that you are against a Santi. Then it just takes time and patience
  15. It is allready a bit like you propose when it is a slow port battle night. You see most nations gathering around the port for the PB some for helping to screen and others just to get some PVP action and sometimes the nation that comes to screen for you turns against you because there wasnt too much PVP around. Getting into a PB can be a challenge sometimes dodging all nations. I would like to see some change as well to the port battles but at the moment cant really see how. And because of the scarcity of OW PvP except for some spots on the map the PB will still act as a PvP magnet at the moment
