This is how i see people trying to argument against 1 dura ships.
There are 2 things that everyone keeps clinging to in order to save their 5 health point ships, which is Mods and their concern for casual players (which in most cases is just them trying to mask the fact that they dont want to loose their precious mods, but cant say it directly since they would sound like douches). Both of these can can be made balanced with 1 dura ships quite easily. Mod wise, as many stated all of them should be craft-able and/or attainable from admiralty points shop or something (not to mention they are already gonna have lower stat increases from what i understand) + they should be scaled with ships. There is no logic in copper plating requiring as much copper and workers to put on a gunboat and a Santisima. And as for the casuals, you do realize you can adjust the cost and labor hours for ships accordingly, to make brigs and light frigates craft-able on a moments notice, which would bring no discomfort for a low level casual ?
The only thing that 1 dura ships will bring, is making ships finally be worth something (seriously with 1800 hours played i have never fully lost a ship excluding 2nd-1st rates, i either give it away or break it up when it runs down to 1 durability because thats how useless they are) and you will actually need to replace mods (again i have gotten gold marines when i started playing and never had to replace them in my carrier). Capturing ships in PvP will actually mean capturing a ship not a small throw away part of it, crafting and the game economy will start existing again after half a years break, and if mods and ship rpices are adjusted it will have no negative impact on the casual players what so ever.

With these two ships we will test 1 durability viability.
Praised be thy Davy Jones if this will usher the end of the Super Mario era of ships having 5 lives
-
On a serious note though, not sure whether its different on your skull island Hethwill, but im pretty sure all larger national clans try to conscript new players.

Made a small topic myself a while ago about various upgrades to ports in the same manner you suggest, and a guy named Babble wrote an entire dissertation before me about port structures, upgrades and such. And as much as i would like to see stuff like that implemented the last i asked and heard from the admin on the subject was that they have no plans for it since they think it would just be another time/resource sink most players would dislike and whine about. We need to start a petition that would attract enough positive reinforcement to change their mind me thinks
-
The engagement rules are being changed from what i heard last. They are also making a starter zone for new players witch will limit high grade ganking of newbies to the game, until they grasp the concept of sailing. Other than that although i do believe Capitals should be safer than other ports, getting ganked outside one is not entirely an issue of the battle entry timer but a combination of: ships that costs less than toilet paper, which leads to no fear of loosing them, the existence of free-ports that cant be captured, yet for some reason allow enemy nations to harbor full assault fleets while claiming neutrality, NPC fleets being a decoration instead of actual patrols. Theres a lot of other things they could do to make pvp focus on the front-lines of waring nations.

Havent asked for them myself but from what the other players on our TS are saying the British captains that got the Ocean, Heavy Rattle and Aga BP's craft them for any higher level captain, so long as he brings his own mats and labor hour contracts.
-
If you did this as a Pirate, and it was the Brit captains own lack of perception, well played. If you used an alt for this treachery, you need to be flogged and hanged... no ... that would be to lenient. You should be tied down in a chair and force read the entire twilight saga.

Admin if you want pvp you need to change and rethink it, i got away with one chest thanks to the Dutch massive escort, what i got from it 2 upgrades and 2 paints, one upgrade was gold marines other MC survival handbooks, gave marines and handbooks to guys who came in fighting ships to support us, they were not enough, traded paints for extra sails upgrades ...
If i was like you suggested in a group of guys , one trader + at least 3-4 escorts what could i share with them from such chest ? I mean I was expecting like 10 paints and upgrades at least so a group of 10 guys could share the stuff, here it was really a poor reward honestly, this won't favor the suggested plan you exposed us.
We ended in a Dutcho-British fleet with many big traders, the most funny moment of this was when a French in indiaman + 2 ships in fleet logged in and spawned right in the middle of us and we were at our surprise pulled inside a battle as one of us guys tagged him , poor guy ended in a battle at 28vs him ..
At first he thought we were the Dutch fleet as in the middle of them.
That was hilarious to see him spawn on the top of those 2 fleets, not for him of course, it was the most fun part of the event , the rest was players tagging all they could in sights and very poor reward from the chest, at least the one i got, still no BP dammit, if i had got a few guys dedicated to escort me into this i had be ashamed by making them take risks, loose time and get nothing to give them in the end ...
Did you just say youre going to have dinner to ditch everyone in national TS and went to the forums to post ? o.o

Increase of loot quality confirmed !!!!
Last week: 26 chests, no BP
This week: 2 chests, Heavy rattler and L'Ocean BP
edit: 1 more player on PVE server got the L'ocean BP from the event today.
Think you just got lucky m8
From the national TS on pvp 1 everyone who opened chests so far say the loot aint exactly awe inspiring Though in all honesty after having been part of the even today again, seeing 3 huge fleets 5 mins sail away of each other straying still waiting for the wrecks to appear, im starting to think this should be a PVE server exclusive event and we need to go back to the drawing board and think of something that would encourage pvp engagement -
A lot of clans provide ships for free.
BTW
We originally wanted to give that freedom to sail everything. But since then reconsidered. If leveling changes the ability to sail anything will be gone first. People should be able to sail only what they earned
and allowed by rank or prestige.PvE events with named bots - lords, admirals of the blue/red/white and other high ranked NPCs carrying better rewards including chests will be done within 1-2 months. Thats a guarantee.
We will make what we promised (conquest changes) and then will refocus on solo and small group player (including pve players)
What about the focus on the small time crafters, just trying to make a living ? :'(
-
I often wonder how much more fun things would have been had we stayed aligned with GB or the US at the beginning. The alliance blocks would look quite different. Who knows, we might have ended fighting a united Antilles front lol. Unfortunately it didn't work out and that, as they say, is that.
Yeah we can thank a few people from SLRN on the British side and a few people from RAE on Spain for going into a rooster fight and pulling us into it.

Like i said i don't really care for diplomacy or forum crusading anymore. No one else has the ability to stop me from finding a good time in this game. At some point all this regurgitated bullshit just loses its appeal. I just want to see more than 200 ppl online at primetime 6 months from now. I hate to see people leave Spain for avoidable reasons, but honestly id even rather see them play for GB then leave the game and a negative review on steam.
Never was one for diplomacy, heck never even joined any clan. Just join random people from other clans in RvR when i feel like it. But it gets kind of annoying when random Spanish players start whispering you "why are you doing this to us?!" as if i was camp guard in auschwitz, while its a few walking talking napoleon complexes, on your side that are refusing to better the game for their own national players for the sake of their ego.

Since i see its a pure wishlist... let us begin:
A complete rehaul of crafting, with specializations and specialized resources to limit only the best ships crafted exclusively, bringing more variety to battles.
1 Durability ships.
Upgradable ports/buildings in ports that would require a national effort.
MOAR NEW SHIPS !!!1!!!one!!!!eleven!
New PB mechanics, land in pb's new conquest mechanics that give enough prep time for a nation and makes port battles actual fights instead of zerging empty ports.
Rewamp on mods (really doubt that instaling copper plating on a fishing boat a.k.a lynx would take as much materials and labor hours as putting one on a floating empire state building like the Santisima)
Resources spread over the map, not having all of the 10 mins sail away from the capital.
The return of port buying goods by demand, seriously... make it scale not just go instantly form selling for 1500 one compass wood and then 1 gold for the next....
Reward tokens form pvp, with a reward shop to redeem something awesome for them.
A shiny UI would be awesome but leave it for the end imo.
More mission/event variety.
Ship drafts and shallows in combat

Whats worse, those ppl in Spain who do this or the people from other nations who legitimize their wayward rhetoric through words and actions?
From the perspective of new/cassual players of Spain that get their game ruined, it would be most definitely the former.
-
Is it so difficult to understand that betrayed us, they threaten us on leave us without ports and waged a campaign to discredit us without precedents?
On this server we will ally ourselves always with whoever be necessary against Britain.
And if one day they destroy us or force alliance we will fill their battles with our ships without firing once against the enemy.
They have made a strong bet against the wrong enemy. Their wiles and lack of sportsmanship will not go unpunished. Spanish players never forget.
^
And this my dear Spanish is one of the few people destroying your nation with his ego and narcissism.
To sum it up you have a few of these people in your largest guilds who would care less about their new players or their nation so long as their pride and ego are fed. Im sad to say that unless you rebuild a new council and somehow oust their monarchy, they will continue to take your nation to ruin.

Imagine I am in a fighting ship and I board one of the lucky merchant and he has a chest... I won't be able to take it in my hold... It kinds of kill the reward of fighting it beside knowing that nobody will get what is inside.
For the moment you can still take command of the trader ship with the chests and send your ship to the outpost. Though i find it will be kinda awkward in the future, if we haven't scraped the idea of removing ship teleportation. Would kind of exclude people that arent high enough rank to crew a fleet of a large trader and a combat ship at the same time.

Is this like just what are we waiting for the most from what we know is coming, or a wishlist what we would like to see (like a list for Santa) ?
-
Why would anyone take an Indiaman? Event will be LGV only.
Greed. Indi will be able to haul 2 chests at once

Although im eager to test this i have some doubts about the weight instead of a set limit to loot at once. If you wont be able to loot more then one chest from other players at a time im seeing that it might end up being a race instead of a pvp feast once again. but i guess we will see
Ideally would like a preset limit 1-2 chests that a player can loot at a given time, yet being able to capture more if its from other players. But we will live and see -
Will be interesting to test out, any predetermined date when the next event will be available or will they be on random times hence forth not just Saturday ? Also to clarify 1 chest will take up 2500 cargo hold ? As in it can only be looted by le gross and indiaman currently ?

Sorry, say something new........... we barking like a chihuahua, we cry and everything happen is our fault has ben said many times..... We need new ofences........
We neither have the possibility to fight until the end....... at least to try to recover ports close our capital...........
The chihuahua comparison was aimed more towards a few RAE members, not you. Anyways fact is most of the British players (there are exeptions ofcourse) dont enjoy trampling over Spain and try to engage in talks of a peace treaty over and over, but your nation is dominated by 1-2 clans that don't want to hear any of it and keep the hostility's going towards us, which makes us respond. So again i would suggest looking in the mirror, realizing that Spain is mostly killing itself, and try to change that. Band some players of your nation together that want piece and time to rebuild and engage in talks with Brits and US.
-
I am very sad to say that, but I think this is the end of the Spanish faction in this game for several reasons ............. is the second time that the spanish base player is destroyed, and that is very difficult to recover ...... Also, if you are a Spanish-speaking player, and you enter the game, first thing you see game is only in English ...... and it pulls back a lot of people .......... and if this is not enough ........ this is what they read those being Spanish-speaking entering steam to know if is good to purchase the game... ...Only some samples.1Unbalanced completely in favor of British and Americans. Little progress since January gameplay and always benefiting them.2Total waste of time if you are a busy gentelmen. Brits & US clans crying for devs to Implementing everytime Against other nations politics.If you want to buy and play this game, remember:Exploits in game used by US & UK are features game. For others impossible of use Because there is no fair play.So, if you want to start a Game with lost war from the beginning, this is your game!3Totally unbalanced, and developers only support the MOST Numerous faction.4It may be the best game of its kind but ........Imbalance factional very accentuated, being small at the mercy of the big ones.-Benefits Anglo-Saxon players.5unless US be my recommendation today is that they do not buy it. Wait to see if the developers decide to give equal opportunities.These are not my words these are analysis from spoken spanish players in steam... Sure you say this is not true, but people that want purchase a game don`t know.If some south american player purchase this game, It will be playing with british or USA........ Not with Spain....Yes, my british friends, for first time, now you can truly say me I'm lamenting and crying.......... Because I love this game, and due to the lack of my english, I can't take another faction, as danes or french...........and probably I must have to let this game to play another one..........I have tried by all means that the English understand that only let us fight with ports south of Cuba, is enough for us to have the unreal feeling to do something ..... But not so ....... I just received insults, ofences and teasing because all they want is the complete annihilation of the Spanish faction ....I'm sure you will say don't want that, but you are doing everything possible to make it happen.On February I said many times....... Spain will be the truly pirates on this game...... Alone and out of the map.......
Two suggestions would be to either take a break from the game for some time (did that myself for almost a month, the game suddenly became fun again when i returned
) or try to become a voice in your nation. Here's the thing, personally i take war games to seriously and would like to destroy every enemy on the map, but everyone on the current British council/fleet commanders talk about making piece with Spain and caring for your new players each evening on TS (again to clarify im not among the people who do), while it is a few hardcore old players in the Spanish nation that keep barking like a small chihuahua, taking your entire nation into decay. Although its somewhat admirable to have the "we will fight till the bitter end" mentality, that is literally the thing that is driving your new players away. -

Alliance + pb system are respectively still waiting for final itteration / major overhaul.
Regarding the timers, a sollution was proposed in activity based port battles. Meaning in order to attack a port, one side has to 'weaken' it over a certain period (hours, days perhaps) before it would be open to attack due to being 'weakened'.
This might not fully negate the timers yet it allows both parties to prep and attack during their prime times, effectively solving the discontent parties are having now.
This would be an incentive for both parties to put effort in the local pvp since this either increases of decreases the 'weaking treshhold' of the port.
Correct me if im wrong, but i do believe that there was also a mention of a limit to how many ports can be initiated for attack at a single time? Any idea how many ports at once will be attachable and will that limit be global or per nation ?
Your nemesis!
