i think they ran cos we had french flags tho

Wait a Victory captured and the Pavel ran for his life along with his trinc buddies, definitely a British win

so which name did you keep

The Brits go on about PVP then as the Pirates defend port Howe then attack Nassau they buy a flag for Parrot Cay, as if we have the numbers to fight more than one, that is not a nation wanting pvp.

[1] Yes they are many maintain that by increasing level caps over time and then more items, this game would not seem to be well suited to a power creep over time, or will it go the way of WT, that was once meant to be a WW2 based game that now has moved so far beyond that. What will happen here once those that race like mad to the cap, will we see CV's eventually because they are desperate to always be ahead of the curve. [2] the danger is atm that the front line as you call it never achieves the desired result, if players cannot defend against the fleets you opt to attack ports with (and that is not throwing blame at you for using large strong fleets) they will not show up to fight no matter where you throw that line so you are left with pve grind and empty port battles, you are not bringing yourselves closer to pvp, willing pvp comes from parity of force, where both sides feel there is a chance to win. [3] I doubt any casual player has pve's themselves into a Victory yet, solutions, well the devs could set a BR cap on port battles so yes you can bring a Victory but you then limit the overall numbers so a fleet of cerbs has a slim chance as defenders, deep water port battles are not 'end game' content you can go from Cerb onwards you seem to want to make them end game tho as fast as you can, alternatively you could reign it in a little and bring a force you know the opposition has a chance to match, yes you risk a loss now and then but the excitement might be better, but that comes down to what individuals see as better, map painters would tend to disagree. [4] Don't be so sure, the USS has 160 members at one point and 50 logged in at prime time, now look, 11 went pirate and the rest are not seen, I only see a half dozen of them at port battles if that, two reasons come to mind, endless AI fleet battles and taking empty ports in the Bahamas. The USA as a whole are not in a good way. Britain got an influx of players, how long will interest remain when you are all fighting over what little scraps of pvp you can find, no nation is immune to that. could not agree more

Pirate Clan Formed Salty Sailer Union [sSU] x11 but that is big nowadays as they are active members

The Pirates as far a i know over the last few days have had an injection of about 8-10 players from USS, not quite a mass exodus, this happened to coincide with a few small clans notably DC, Curse and Gun wanting to take some action, this bolstered their combined numbers to an amount that is sufficient to attempt port battles tho many battles have involved less that 25 players. What they have gained is a willingness to fight not a huge influx of players, the timing was more coincidental but obviously beneficial to each of the parties. However with the recent success more players on the Pirate side are now taking an active role further increasing the Pirates ability to retake lost territory.

9 ports recaptured, tho we were repulsed at Grand Turk by the Brits, Our Mid sized 3rd rate led Cerb fleet sadly was not able to overcome the forts and British defenders and was forced to retreat. We are back on the map.

No way did the Pirates of PVP2 take 4 ports today?

Interesting, last night we Pirates of pvp2 captured Deadman's Cay, we had the battle won button, got our after battle loot but couldn't enter the port and today it remains in the hands of the USA

Pirates on PVP2 are doing just fine, we will soon be offering you holiday time shares anywhere in the Bahamas

We [uSA] defended a port vs 20+ pirates, then attacked a port defended by about 20 pirates fought them in open water, the brits took that time to attack another cuba port we had, sure they took it, there was no one able to get there to defend it, while the brits were successful i doubt it is entertaining to fight those five towers over and over.

so do I, that would put this question to bed then

we of USS have had to wait up until 04:00 server time to be bale to take our holdings in the Bahamas. These have also now been set to when we as a clan are most active for the purpose of defence. I would imagin every clan does somthing similar. We were committed to taking those ports set at silly oclock, and found them to be largly undefended by their previous owners, we are prepared to commit forces at odd hours, why shouldn't everyone else be expected to or is that something on the US should have to deal with?

i only logged in on the pvp server as far as i know, i didn't log into the pve server as i never normally play on those where a pvp option is available, i only looked on the pve server after that

similar issues, redeemable ships only on pve server - except yacht
