Admiralty NPC Fleets

[Kawazz]

Idea:

Create Unique Admiralty NPC fleets for each nation/faction. 

These fleets would patrol on the outskirts of protected zones they will be around these areas unless they are pulled into a battle.

These fleets would be specialty named and marked in the open world for example George Washington's Fleet, King George's Fleet etc... 

They would provide a difficult fight but also a larger payout in rewards and the glory of taking down the Admiralty fleet.

These attacks could also be defended, there should be an alert similar to port battles that the Admiralty fleet was attacked in region/port.

When an Admiralty fleet is beaten or protected there should be another alert or message in the combat news.

Basically moving Epic events fleets like how they had a few of them.  With this what I think the epic events/treasure fleets should be is a big fleet with some Indiamans or LGV's with chest on them.  You can either capture the ships or take the chest off them but you have to do it while fighting the large escort fleets.   The chest could be something like the deadmans chest with loot in it.

No one does epic events any more cause the loop is crap.  Give folks a reason to do them and make them fun.  Hell bring back Paint Chest until you have what ever new paint system changes.

Have the NPC fleets sail between two freeports, you could even make them national treasure fleets, so for example the Danes would have to Screen the fleet whereas everyone else has to attack it.

The loot is only on the treasure/Trader ships, if you want to get it home, you have to capture the ship and then escort it back to one of your ports.

Hopefully this would encourage a bit more open world attacks, and all nations could have a go at defending and attacking a fleet

Exactly.

Epic Events should be true to their name. Epic Events they should draw players on either sides. Also having the fleets patrol certain areas instead of random fleet drops provides a game-play loop that many would enjoy. Not everyone is on when one of those random attack zones would pop up nor did they want to sail 2 hours.
