This has been repeatedly requested for over three years.
The following thread was created 5 days ago:

PUPPY KILLER SUPER WASA
This is the problem with top top gear and top port mods and Tryhards smashing low lvl people then being REWARDED for doing so.
There are two type of guys that play this game, those with big wedding tackle, and those with big plastic cups in their crotch. The current game META caters to the 2nd group sadly. So when you get a guy like reverse who happens to have all the bling super ship AND is swinging a really big one, no wonder he can sink 14 v1 on his twitch. The META also enables low to mid skill guys with all the gear and port bonuses to PWN NOOBZ smashsmashsmash. Which just feeds into a toxic failure in human nature.

PUPPY KILLER SUPER WASA
And i want it known by all that there were -o- signs of any exploits, his ship stopped with sails up motionless and was tagged in the normal way. He played with integrity today, and just logged off because the adults were going to catch him. o7 ED, makes me proud you did the right thing, but I would have fought and tried to get my ship to blow up or sink.

I will be in the 1v1 zone in an hour or so, either in a store bought ship or an AI cap boat, come kill me big boy, i will announce on global. However, if you are not even playing the game, you have no ground to stand on.

no they wont, because people dont sail out an capture ai today, i see plenty of 5th rates sailing around, if durability on ships would be readded to crafted ships even then the upgrades would last longer = would lead to cheaper upgrades and ship prices would go above them.
I never kill players sailing ships with refit, its either a crafted one with port bonuses, ships with strange build from elite notes, noted ships in general, or dlc ships. The only times i see crew space ships are when i see an guy trading cargo for the cargo mission in his store bought/captured traders brig
You clearly have never fought me, or if you have you have never beaten me. This is EXACTLY what I do in the PVP 1v1 zone, every day. I spam Global my exact location and issue challenges. Ask anyone who has sunk me, AI capped random ship, maybe basic mods only. Watch Global chat, I spam it enough!
READ THE DAMN THREAD MAN

Guys, click the thread I linked, it has the solutions to what you are talking about.

This would be an awesome feature, I would love to see this in game, the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG boring sails while watching netflix interrupted by the bell so you can click a button to continue every 30 minutes is the only reason many of us have 8K or higher hours in this game. I have well imagined being in game, sailing close to enemy territory and then a call out happens "Sail sighted off starboard bow!"

Now if I can get the attention of the powers that be, I spam global with this thread enough and will pester every mod I see in game.

I understand, but if people could learn to not rely on gear so much and loosen up about their precious little ship, they might discover areas of combat available in this game that they quite enjoy, once the fear of loss diminishes.

You didn't read Number 2, it would be impossible to be ganked unless you leave the inner circle surrounding the freetown as proposed.

Any input or suggestions for this are more than welcome. I believe this could fundamentally change people's attitudes regarding going out and getting sunk whilst having fun.

I'm just a player mate, I have no idea.

I am not sure about Ultimate Admiral. I play Naval Action, and one of my computers has the same exact processor and Video card. Naval Action on Medium Settings with a stable FPS of 45, in large battles it drops to 30 at times. I do not think Ultimate Admiral will be more graphically taxing than a battle instance of Naval Action.
Hopefully this gives you reassurance about your rig's performance for the game.

The 1v1 Zone in the Patrol Zone is empty most of the time, I go capture some AI 5th rates with mediums, throw on 15 hull, 15 rig, and 30 rum on my ship, with another AI capped 5th in fleet and sail into the 1v1 zone and call out my position in Global. My cost? a bit of time capping those frigates/belle poules/essex/surprise and putting med chasers. The cost to me is nil, because I get reps as loot from some from those ships. Yesterday I sailed over to the La Mona PVP zone and was able to get 2 1v1 battles. Hard fights both, I was ripping the guts out of my opponent, he in a Carro Trinc, me in a Majogany Blue Frigate I had capped, I messed up a tack and he got me, I sunk and told him I had reps on board to loot, and would be right back out in my fleet ship if he fancied a rematch. I do this everyday, people see me spamming global. It is a lot of fun when I get the fights, don't even care they come in with super duper ships with all the bonuses, I fight as hard as I can, and about 35% of the time my "trash ship" kills a supership. (Skill beats Gear). Great fun, cost me almost nothing, and I earn combat marks, had some adrenaline, laughed it up, and a blast with an opponent. Battle over I snap him a salute for his victory. Come back out, wash rinse repeat.
I have suggestions, please hear them out because what people need is a reason to fight, have fun, risk getting sunk, maybe make some new friends, help build comradery amongst enemies.
1. ALL AI capped 6th and 5th rates, when you capture them, have 2 cycles of reps in hold for both hull, rig and 1 cycle rum, and all medium gun decks armed.
2. The 1v1 zone pop surrounding a free port example: Great Corn, Aves, Guaygauyagar, Shroud, La Mona, Tumbado, with the regular PVP zone in a larger concentric circle around that. Therefore you sail out of the 1v1 zone INTO the big fleet brawl zone. So -0- risk of getting ganked by a TryHard in a Wasa with you in a Frigate or 6 guys who "gotta smash HURR DURR MY XP(this happens all the time). Once out of the 1v1 circle, join your friends fleet and look for an enemy fleet to engage together.
3. At that PVP zone freetown, the shop will have unlimited 6th or 5th rate of the day, designated Admiralty PVP SHIP. This will be the same exact ship, with 2 choices of wood, either a bit more armour or speed. Make ship that when purchased for say 10K reales, comes fully armed and equipped with 2 cycles hull, rig and 1 cycle rum. To specify you would have a choice Between a Frigate that is Bermuda, or White Oak. You can sail that ship out to 1v1 someone else and the winner take all, but the loser actually loses very little, except a battle. In professional sports, the winner wins, and the loser loses, but the loser is not punished financially for losing, he does not have to go back to work grinding away to replace his losses... because he didn't win a contest, he still gets paid very well for being a sportsman, and fighting.
Number 3 provides PVP for ALL, at almost no cost, they spend a tiny amount of coin and gain XP on ships, Damage XP to redeem combat marks for a shiny bauble or mod they want. They get smashed? They will say "No bother, this is fun, pop back in and try the faster ship this time, because I suck at tanking and want to try that thing with the sail in reverse to rake."
The overarching goal of this game is for people to have fun, exciting battles of skill and daring, the perfect rake, learning to hog you gunports down the second your opponent is heeled too much and give him 12 leaks, the beauty of mastering a ship and playing the sails and wind like a violin, angling a broadside from a super carro trinc. There are ways to make this facet of the game easily and painlessly available to all. Having a few 1v1s against that captain of renown like Reverse, Greg, Le Raf Boom, Vernon Merril, Hethwill etc. will go along way to helping people realise the fear of losing should NOT be a motivator, it is the thrill of the fight.

I remember redeeming my yacht daily and giving to any player who could never have one. It was a win/win/win for everyone. But the devs made the free yacht a premium import whatever and no one can sail my yacht because they didn't buy the game before a certain date, and i did. The yacht should not be behind a stupid wall, I would give one away every day because it looks so damn cool racing across the water, and there are so few of us left that even have one.
-
In my library, under DLC the Yacht is listed as ADDED 12/18/2015

It does not increase bottle chance, only fish tonnage and increased chance of game fish.

This discussion comes too late. The game is already released. Why should the dev's do a 180 degrees turn? Because you are not ok with the game it is at this stage? Then turn it of.
You have just stated the issue going forward. People WILL turn it off because of the stat of it. And the server pop will whither away, and the potential of this game will be lost until another developer comes up with something that has the shining qualities this game does, but does not have hard coded game mechanics designed to make people quit in disgust for the benefit of a few. The devs need to decide what's more important, the business and market, or a few guys that just want to pwn nooobz.

If people want to buy that, whatever. I won't be baited into it. I stand by my name and reputation. When i say if I did a thing or not it is the truth, if any does not believe me, I'm not worried. I will just keep being the man my parents raised, in real life as well as this game.

PVP WILD FUN For ALL WITH MINIMAL COST

This game's survival RELIES on new blood. That new blood MUST be entertained and not ground under the heel of the minority toxic players who have caused the collapse of population multiple times since EA release Jan 2016. I have been there for every crash of population, every bleed off, every ROFL stomping certain nations to dust (guilty of it myself on two occasions) Some things were just the ugly side of human nature, but some of the misery was in the game design, or the mechanics allowed the toxic people to grief players and nations to just log off and uninstall, and spray their ire on Steam, YouTube, Facebook etc.
There can be growth with this game, but that growth relies on giving new or returning players an easy way to have fun and excitement. The lost potential is lost, but with some minor changes there can be new potential, new sales, old long lost brothers of the sea return and check out paints and flags and the other DLC. It can happen, we as a community can help, I will be happy to help, I am making videos to show people how to do things in game, the ships, tacking, stealing the wind etc. I am figuring out how to put them on Twitch, I have set up a channel named aeomar, nothing on it yet, working on that. If we are given the tools to make good PVP fights cheap and fun for everyone on the server, word of mouth will drive sales, increase profits, help fund further new content for this game, as well as its VR sequel (my dream).
Thank you in advance for your time reading this. I have put a great deal of thought into it, and am your disposal to help in any way I can. o7
