Because, honestly, what is the point of the circle if you just time yourself to run through it and continue avoiding an engagement? Once back in the circle your br should can count again and if you dont make it back in your ship sinks. IF a port battle ends any ship outside of the circle should be automatically captured and given to the victor.

Remember people. this is not the gospel! it looks like their goal is Thursday or Friday. doesn't mean it WILL be here then. i'm sure if things don't work out it could get delayed till the next week. but lets hope this all goes well.
This, if the current build has bugs on the internal test then they'll have to address those which could push it back.

Better red than dead!
My motto for mmo's has always been if it's red its dead...but now I'm a brit so that's a quandary.

Are you starting to feel the heat Charles?
Today we proved that not even ports next to the British Capitol is safe! It was a close call in Port Morant, and as usual the British fled enough for our ships being forced to return by our creators.
But as we speak, more recruits are getting graduated from the naval acadamy in Norway! So be prepaired, this was only the first attack, and not the last!
Rus's response learning they would have to fight their way out of morant after failing to capture it:

Plenty of demand for bellonas and up.

How can you surrender after a fight is over? -.- Seems like an exploit to me and definitely not in the spirit of the game. I bring it up because we had a screen force fight danes after a port battle then we retreated for the heavier fleet outside to get into position to capture their pavels, however they apparently surrendered two third rates after we all escaped for their pavels to capture and return home.

And for anyone who thinks we will work a treaty with the russians in whatever nation they play for (because one hour they're danish the next spanish then pirate gg on implementing that faction switch timer) or pirates:

At 5am in the morning?
I don't blame for not bringing up yesterday's massacre at Sigunea...
Same defense at la bermeja, arenas, baxo nuevo, triangles, arcas, alacranes pre negations? How about Chiriqui, Almirante, Talamanca, Mantina, San Juan del Norte, Sanot Tomas, Omoa Truinfa de la Cruz, Morro Chico, Truxillo, Black River, Placentia, Belize, How about the defense (or lack there of of Cuba?) No it might be easier to tell me what Spain led by REA has actually defended?
And is it our fault those two had no timers on them? Or is it that the Spanish just have no defense other then the timer argument?
Congrats on defending a shallow water port, once.

Interesting you say this after the defense we witnessed you mount at Mugeres, and in light of just about every other diplomatic encounter we've had with you thus far, of which I've already said my piece. You can be as salty as you want.
Same defense you mounted at Tuspan and Tampico?

Myself, Papa Bear, are your two fluent English speakers in the Spanish faction that represent the clans of RACC, RAE and EI for the moment, our three clans are the largest body of clans in the entire faction. You can confirm this by simply coming into our Teamspeak and asking the leaders of each of these clans, or you can make the same mistake twice and take one person on their word that they are the sole voice of the faction.
I doubt at this point anyone is dumb enough to try diplomacy with RAE, even the pirates have more integrity. Not to mention RAE has consistently worked to undermine the Spanish nation to have the dev's step in.

May I ask you a question ? Right now what will prevent British Navy from capturing all ports, last time i checked the world map, british still have the largest number of port from all nations.
Sorry my bad i forgot i already know the answer, the pirate did that, and you want to change the game mechanics to prevent pirate from fighting british in the world map conquest.
Uhm I could care less about the pirates fighting the british, or the british fight the french, what I'm pointing out is a serious flaw in the game. If it will get your pantaloons unbunched and help get the sand out of your whiny parts replace Pirate with british, or french, or whatever faction you so choose. Quite simply however pirates are just another faction and shouldn't be.

I have a 30 ping on the US servers. My ping on Europe is 100. I choose to play on the Europe server. I'd love to see a single server however there is a threshold where ping does start to matter. While I support it in theory I am not sure its practical.
Mines 180, it's higher for the aussies playing on it, so unless you're in a 3rd world nation playing off a potato it doesn't.

If you look closely, the article is of a non clan British Cpt.
The Slightly negative feel to the document is probably due to the fact, SPAIN is breaking it peace pacts with Britain.
That is why its not listed. Because they are at war with themselves. Half of EL against RAE and RACC.
Also, many people are talking about Server PvP EU 1.
The focus is not the development but lets play the game like EVE and wipe the map.
So lets look at the Russians.....
The Russian factions of the Pirates/Danes and little Ally Dutch.
Look how their do diplomacy/treaties with the French and Swedish; how did that go?
The US
Wiped out a small french group in the Gulf, the pushed Spain from their Capital and Cuba.
The Britts,
Holding the center of map and creating narrow fronts for opportunity for new players to grind and old Trafalgar to PvP and PB.
The SUMMARY is that while the game has no in game Alliance system, or a safety for Nations still having a Safety Area Number of Ports eg 5 around the Capital.
The Big thing we can do out side of the game DEVELOPERS is have the community remember it is an EARLY ACCESS GAME.
Help the game develop, not get your EGO fluffed by having the whole map conquered.
To expand on this one step further, it highlights a reason there needs to be a change to pirate mechanics (and I don't mean keeping them out of 1st rate ships, I don't care about that) as of right now there is nothing preventing the entire player base from going pirate and capturing all ports and fighting each other for fun outside of whatever national allegiance a player itself has.
Also I guess if someone violates a treaty, multiple times in one day, you should just let it slide. (I think someone has spent to much time studying the Obama style of foreign policy)
-
The reason Spain finds itself in a hole is that you keep capturing their ports when the general consensus was that Spain would be allowed recover.
Actually it's not, but you can believe so.

Sounds like having dual servers was a bad idea, seeing how ping isnt that big of of a deal, there should be little debate here. When has having too many people been a bad idea?
Well like most games these days that get covered by "big" name twitch streamers and youtubers at release it will see a massive explosion in population, then as soon as they move on a lot of their followers move on as well. It would be nice for an increase in server pop limit and a merger now though. Even at this point I feel there's a lot of british population that doesn't realize you can do anything besides missions right outside port royal.

Lol, written as only a Brit could write. In other words any of you rapscallions that try to change the current order of things, Brits 100 + Ports, everyone else way less than that, will not be allowed and all nations will hit those rapscallions that dare to try. Seriously if you cannot see what is wrong with this entire "treaty" then you need some help.
What you really wanted to say was "We the Brits don't want any other nation to challenge our dominant position in the Caribbean, so please sign this treaty and get back to killing just each other, leave us alone as we are busy with knitting, basket weaving and reading the King James Bible"
BTW that one nation being far too dominant already occurs, but I guess other nations now will try to change that, good luck holding onto your ports,
Why oh why do you attack the Spanish again, talk about beating up on the small chap. (Tampico)
Spain violated its treaty. It lost ports. We even gave them a freeby earlier when they "mistakenly" attacked Corrientes and said ok mistakes happen no big deal. Then it was violated again not long after. The only reason spain is in the situation it is in, is because of REA and the Spanish players, not because of timers or other mechanics. Spain has constantly chosen to dig itself into a hole and then cry broken mechanics in the hopes the devs will alter the game to suit the vocal minority and cover their poor decision making and playing ability.

Decisively beaten? You captured unopposed ports, pass the hemp you're smoking saying you've decisively beaten anything. As for the treaty you can take it and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Thanks for sending out a wake up call to the 90% of britain who sits in port royal playing the market perhaps now that they see some risk to their investments they'll set foot on ship and sail.

Who said anything about port defense?
And yet u're wrong. It's very messy with this instance system when 1 player can get 10+ ships BEFORE PB into battle just to distract them from PB - it's not realistic. Was it so in reality that 1 fregate could make 10 line ships being out of PB?
One frigate can't attack 10 line ships, the BR is to high...and I guess it's absolutely impossible to plan for a screening force and how to break through...lol.

Lol, u know that brits are the zerg, right? And danes aren't even in top 3 populated nations on the server?
Zerg in a game where battles are limited to 25 on each side? If you cant defend a port because of a blockade it just means you failed to plan properly when it came to port defense and don't deserve it.

Their "commonwealth" can't even fully subdue the conquered, what does Britain have to fear other then the chance of internal strife destroying this so called commonwealth before having the opportunity to hear the song of fully winded sails and the roar of cannons and men? My hats are off to the Drunken and all who refuse to bow to tyranny and stand tall in the face of an overwhelming force, some of us in Britain eagerly await for news from these brave sailors and plot ways to render assistance.

I can not believe the post here, REALLY guys!!!!!!!!
They tried to give a bit of a timeline, GOOD ON YA DEVS.
But RL happens, ADMIN is not well (Hope you are better soon).
But the "to and fro" is really becoming quite comical!!!!!
Unfortunately the generation that is to lazy to eat cereal because it has to wash the bowl and spoon is now in college and old enough to buy games. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/23/this-is-the-height-of-laziness/

Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
-Sun Tzu
You are violating pretty much all 5. Luck can not protect against such behavior.
Since all of those can be filled by his clan tactics let me quote you some norse sayings:
16. A coward believes he will ever live
if he keep him safe from strife:
but old age leaves him not long in peace
though spears may spare his life.
here's another:
8.
Happy is he who wins for himself
fair fame and kindly words;
but uneasy is that which a man doth own
while it lies in another's breast

uhm a) midshipman wouldnt be able to come into the pb, and
we always let anyone who wants help in screening fleets
Common sense seems challenging for some people though.
