It seems that most of the people who aren't eager about a system like this, already don't like the current teleport mechanics. This system makes sense if we are keeping the teleport to capital system that we already have in place though. It will help people spread out on the map easier and utilize some of that unused space. Why should we be able to teleport to our Capital, but not be able to replace that ability with a teleport to Regional Capital.

I think the simplest solutions are what you said, make the arena smaller so people can't run as easily, or maybe make each tower destroyed makes the arena get smaller. Also undercrewing ships for full BR is silly and should be fixed to represent a real BR.

We turned Saint Nicholas from its cheery red festive color, and painted it BLACK.

As much as I want to make it easier for people, I would rather see it in the form of map tools.

I don't see any reason not to, and it shouldn't take too much development time. It starts to get annoying trying to get 25 people into separate groups when you can only do 6 yourself, and it would help to see exactly what ships you have before attacking the port. I'm actually kind of surprised that this hasn't had anyone vehemently opposed to this idea yet, people on this forum certainly can be contentious about the smallest things.

He's a troll right guys? Please tell me he's trolling all of us.

It isn't even funny, so I wouldn't even call it a joke making fun of Jews. You should check your privilege and stop forcing your victim complex onto other people. Oh no! Not reality!

If any of you newer players (especially pirates) rolled on the US server due to ping/queue times, there is no queue time during US prime time anymore on the primary PVP ONE server. Don't be afraid to jump over, you will keep only your experience level. A lot of us are worried that y'all will be discouraged when the population of the US server gets too low and you will be too invested to switch at that time. So if you ever feel like coming over and joining the largest Pirate Clan in the game, you can jump on to Teamspeak and talk with us about switching over. Ts3.ftsgaming.net

I like the idea of it, of course it could be more refined. I think a system like this is required to help players move from the most populated factions to the least populated factions.

I'm afraid you were mistaken, those weren't Pirates, they were Privateers hired by the Spanish Navy! I'm glad you beat them back, you should reciprocate by attacking those underhanded thieves in the name of the King!

The only server that's worth anything.

Sorry, we speak English in the clan. I'm not sure of any Spanish speaking clans, but I would imagine most of them are in the Spanish nation.

I would personally go the opposite direction, it is frustrating as hell in PvP to get someone to the point they are sinking and then see them retreat behind their teammates to repair. We should remove repairs during combat period and possibly from the open world as well if we want fair pvp.

Good bunch of guys, even though they don't know what true Freedom is!

I feel like this is a bit silly to do and is just going to divide the community more, I mean, why didn't we try the anti-afk timer first? I haven't seen a queue longer than 400 people and I feel like with a timer it would nearly get rid of all the queue time. This kind of thing always splits up and kills communities in MMO's and I'm tired of seeing it.

I vote that we remove first rates from every nation that never had one inside of the Caribbean, that would only be fair if it got removed from Pirates simply because it's historical.

We worship whoever brings the rum on board!

You dirty traitor! Or.... clean traitor, those British do keep their uniforms spotless.

Currently the largest Pirate clan in the game and growing, hop onto Teamspeak with us to see what we're about!

Then the system currently only provides an advantage to clans with a central capital like the British or Pirates, but what about the USA? Their current teleport to capital option is useless for them if they want to PVP at all.

I see a lot of people wanting a different way of identifying clan affiliation, but everyone needs to realize that this is one of the least important details of the game. It is much easier to simply add clan tags for the time being until there is a better solution to identifying other ships. The poll tells the story though, most people would like a way to identify with their clan when on the open world, I would love to hear from the Admin if this is an easy addition to the game.

Welcome to the FTS armada.

Well I think the hope and expectation is that they fix the kill and assist experience that they had before the wipe. That made leveling a bit more fun because you would do it in a large PvE fleet taking out large targets. The current system is pretty mind numbing with missions being one of the best way to level up.

I will admit that I came up with this idea a while ago and I can't really think of any cons to this idea, but I'm sure that some of you can argue against anything so let's get a discussion going. I like this idea because mainly I feel that it is a pretty easy addition to the game for the developers. This will also help nations that have a main capitol too far away from where they want to fight and also helps different nations fight against each other who normally would not be able to. It allows for more use of the map where currently half of it is never used. It also makes regional capitols more valuable than they currently are. The way a system like this would work would just have the player go to friendly owned regional capitol and on the home screen would be a button "Bind here" and it would take away the main capitol as a teleport and replace it with this town. If it gets captured then it would reset back to a main capitol teleport. Gotta keep it simple and obvious. Those are just a few reasons I can come up with as to why this would be a good idea, I would love to hear about other pros/cons or exploits that would need to be considered with a system like this.

Fought the British at Islet yesterday and it sure is nice when we can outnumber them rather than the other way around. They put up a hell of a fight.
