Make it so only certain ranks such as the first three or four ranks get reinforcements not these maxed rank players who know what they're doing. Adding three nations will make things worse as we only have 100-200 active players AND WE HATE REINFORCEMENT ZONES BECAUSE WE CANT ATTACK THE BIGGEST NATIONS not because we have them in our own nation...
Why? If I am out unlocking skill boxes in the Zone on a ship why do I not have the same protection from a 5 man gank squad as a new guy does?

Well,sometimes you can see Combat News exploding, i don`t know how can someone tell to "bring PvP back".
I guess you have a problem sailing to free ports, maybe you are just too lazy
Well Combat News lso counts losses in Port Battles in the reports.. just FYI

Should be only the area where missions for the capital region/county can spawn or a bit larger but not much... this way everyone can also see the reinforcement zone on the map if you hover over the capital or ports next to it...
That would make them 5 times bigger no smaller. In MT I can get missions on the North Coast of Cuba or Haiti or as far north as Salinia Point

Better would be just fix the AI order system and add in Follow Me and Engage my targets and DO NOT board.... as a Click item so no matter what ever else they are told to do they Will NOT try and board. Ability to order AI fleet to loot for you would be nice also.

We have to find a way that it is hard/impossible to find a meta to certain br. Otherwise we have different ships in one battle but everytime the same setup.
But clear yes to both questions.
It needs to be Rate based NOT BR based.. Like actual fleets were... ie...
For each 1st or 2nd rate you bring You have to have 3 3rd/4th rates in your Fleet. If it is a Mid sized PB(currently called 4th rate) For every 4th rate you would need 3 5th rates (or smaller)... 1st and 2nd Rates were Squadron Command ships.. 4th Rates or older 3rds were Frigate Squadron Command Ships.. But requiring a spread in the structure makes building a Meta a LOT tougher

I dont agree with the OP but I also dont think it would be the final nail in the coffin.
There are enough other nails in this coffin to think one more would matter.
Ultimately what would help the most is what some of the greatest forum warriors dont want. A server merger.
Merger would do very little for some time zones be nice for others... It wouldn't hurt any of them.
I think the biggest mistake was removing so many of the Free towns...
I still think IT would have been best to Give the Pirates Igauna Region Kidds Island , Bensalmn and Aves and Cogi... No Green zones around the singles.. They would be Neutral Pirate controlled towns... So anyone could dock and trade but at own risk... Only pirates could have buildings in them.. Then no RvR for Pirates.. Make SHips and pirate Nationals...
Reinforcement Zones need to be BR level of attackers if the target is above a set rank.. Stupid respond levels to protect the noobs... But if you can fully man any of the 5th rates and you get jumped by 3 other 5th rates all you should get is 2 more 5th rates to help not a 1st Rate Squadron(something which never existed ever in the age of sail)... Yes I know I rambled.. I'm old deal with it

Your suggestion is one of the worst I have seen in these forums in a LONG LONG time.
SO true .. NOw all that said about please please please no rams. I would love the current damage model to be more realistic when a ram happens... Ie A ship under Full sail runs into a ship big enough to slow it suddenly.. Sails still full of wind.. BAD things start happening suddenly to masts and spars... Same for running aground at full speed in almost any sailing ship
-
But if they add Chaser to all Frigates they then need to revisit ALL the broken Sailing and speed stats
-
Really? How many Ram ships were used Historically in the Age of Fighting Sail? 1600s-mid 1800s?

So does that mean we go back to ships bought from shop fire ship fitting all frigates targets players hard earnt 1st rates you won't win the port but you've trolled the enemy and let's be honest if enemy has full 25 and you have 10 players your probably going to lose so why not troll your enemy ( happened before and leads to people crying on forum)
Honestly a Fire ship fit should only have a crew just big enough to run sailing enough to acyually sail and nothing more... and until you lock the rudder on copurse the chance of catching fire should be normal
-
Honestly I read the title and thought you were in the wrong forum

Well since there are no official alliances it is all what each clan agrees to and only with the clans they make the deal with so even a chart like that wont actually help

By about 10 BR yes, but you can chop that up as risk/reward. AI shouldn't be the main protection anyway. You already have your nation close by, your clan who can help, and forts you can sail to. AI is a last resort for getting caught with your pants down
This would work if we had a couple hundred players online all the time for every nation. But as I type this we have 107 online for EU server Total.... Spread across 7 nations. MAkes calling for Player help from your nation player base a case of blind luck

Sigh. Not the Brightest Bulp in the House are we.....
Listen. He Wrote "PC Rank"
I read that as "Player Character Rank"
So in short. I understood his Suggestion as in the Safezone you can ONLY do the Mission that is Equivalent to your Rank. So you cannot Farm easier or harder Missions.
Now in my case. My Rank will usually get me up against 3rd to 4th Rates. But if I got Killed and got no Ship. How am I supposed to do these Missions ?
Just because I am a certain Rank does not mean I got tons of Combat Marks Stored up somewhere.
I currently got 73 of them if you want to know. And even assuming I got 2 more to Buy a Hermione. I would never go into an Flag Captain Mission with that lol.
But his actual Suggestion was Different.
He is likely a Brit. What he meant with "PC Rank" was "Post Captain Rank" a Rank only available for the British Navy which I am not part of thus not having known the Rank till he named it.
Meaning his Suggestion is that you can only do Post Captain Rank Missions and Lower.
That is a Problem for a Different Reason.
Because that would mean. A Rear Admiral can only do Missions that are too small for him and dont give him a good Reward.
Meaning that the Safezone would in Fact get a Simple and Straight Nerf to their Rewards.
Which would merely Result in PvE Players feeling treated unfair and leaving the Game. It would not help to get more PvP. Because it would merely feel like a Punishment for not Playing like a certain other Player Group wants. And People do not have Fun being Punished. (well I guess a few do lol but they will leave the Safezone without that *gg*) so the Game becomes less Fun for them and they leave the Game.
You got this now ?
Next time pls read the entire Discussion and not just one Post out of the middle....
all I got is you are fixated on aon something that doesnt matter and that no one but you was talking about . The only dim one I have seen herew is you dude

read the Topic before you Answer Mate.
I am not a Brit. So there is no Post Captain Rank for me.
I assumed Player Character Rank. Which would have mean if I am Rear Admiral I can only do Rear Admiral Missions. Which is an Funny Idea if you got killed and maybe just got a 5th Rate left in the Docks to do Missions.
But he meant Post Captain.
Which is a different Issue. Because its just the same usual Nerf of PvE Player Rewards which will result in PvE Players feeling treated unfair and leaving the Game.
WTF you on about? You were complaining about not having money to do 3-4th rate mission in a proper ships.. I was explaining that waslt a real issue .. if you are tyhe rank to do them then you should have he CMs to spend.. None of which has to do with the Topic...
See below your post
For example.
Right now my Rank would get me into 3rd-4th Rate Missions but I dont even have nearly the Money buy anything beyond a Midtier 5th Rate.

That would not work either.
No offense but I dont think I ever even once were able to actually get a Ship Capable of doing my own Ranks Mission right after reaching it.
So this would be a death trap.
For example.
Right now my Rank would get me into 3rd-4th Rate Missions but I dont even have nearly the Money buy anything beyond a Midtier 5th Rate.
So if I cant do Missions except my PC level I effectively cant play the Game.
Especially the purpose of recovering after you lost a Ship would become impossible.
Guys Seriously.
Just give it a rest and leave the safezones as they are.
The People which do not leave the Safezone to PvP will not PvP even if the Safezone is removed.
They just leave the Game thats all that happens here.
You dont need money.. 150 combat marks gets you a Wasa which can do those easy. Same for teh 5th rates with a L\'Herm

And this would fit n more with something that might be an expansion later of the game that covers the Napoleonic War and the European waters, not really fitting in Caribbean theme game. Now Legends I can see them doing it there to get more ships and such into that game to cover a wider player base of folks that want to sail and fight in ships of certain nations.
Why not now? A good portion of the ships are from that war anyway:)

Yes, and they were not instantly sailable ... sails were taken off, they had to be prepped and repaired/refitted if needed, loaded up with guns and supplies, crew had to be hired, seatrials again, etc.
In no way were/are ships like that instantly usable and while 'stored' they would also require maintenance. And even then, some ships never see/saw the water again, some parts get salvaged maybe. Having a wooden ship out of water for a longer time is also very detrimental to the ships hull (stresses work differently, the wood dries out, more leaking afterwards, etc.).
This storing of ships also only happens in very specific circumstances (war, very short timeperiods). It is a costly affair, hence it is/was not done very often.
Well if your going to go with that.. It should take Months to Years of in game time to build any ships.. but no one would play then

Ability to name our Fleet captians

We wil have to disagree then.. I see a lot oif activity in and around Free towns(some of them and areas with resources nations need

Dont hunt i the reinforcement zones? just an idea lots of targets outside them
Reinforcement zones
in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions
Posted
LOL.... Ok... So getting fully prepped for PvP is ruining the game? What ruins the game is what ruins every game.. 4+ v 1 ganks and camping... But the oh so brave PvPers just cry about small areas they cant gank in.... Now that said.. I would be all for Lowering the Gold payouts for mission inside the Reinforcement zones a LOT... I dont do those for money but to unlock Skill boxes on ships so I have a better chance in that ship in RvR and PvP
