New hostility missions

[Sparkydog]

In the new hostility missions-- how long do they stay open for port defenders to join? If you enter the mission with 10 fifth rate ships- you get 10 ai npc ships of the same approx BR- can defenders join with 10 first rates?

Forever and yes

I see a huge issue. Attacker is limited to 10 players and defender can bring 15 players and has 10 AI? Sounds very unfair and unbalanced - @admin.

Actually the cap for both sides is 10 players, but yah it's 10 attackers vs 10/10 players/AI if maxed out.   Though we flipped West End with two missions using a mix fleet of 6th rates to 2nd rates.   So the bigger the ship the more agro you get it seems.

so we still use SOLs for shallow ports...

Yah we took the missions out side the shallows and it matched the ships that joined.  Only 2 of us where in shallow ships.
