.well:
1. allowing clans bring diverse fleets within a total Battle Rating (BR) limit = good
2. Allow port owners reduce the BR limit (for money) in the ports they own - creating smaller port battles giving some space to small clans/nations = BAD..!
.building in restrictions > ends up in people who can not join ...
.possible cheats
.restrictions and limitations (always bad)
.unknown features for beginning players
.complicated gameplay
.money issue
keep it simple.
i can, however, agree on player limit like (minimal) 5 vs 5
6 vs 6 - 7vs7 - 8vs8- etceteraetcetra......
but not br ,if the attacker takes fewer ships(players) it's their choice...

a chinese merchant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keying_(ship)
made from chinese teak
Class and type: Junk Tons burthen: 800 tonnes Length: 160 ft (45 m) Beam: 35 ft (10.7 m) Depth of hold: 19 ft (5.8 m) Propulsion: Three-masted junk rig Complement: 42 Armament: 20 cannons Notes: Chinese teak used for the construction In Chinese furniture, Teak was often seen in western style “colonial Shanghai style” and art deco pieces especially during the 1920’ies and 30’ies. After the first colonizers reached Burma in the early as the 1820’s, furniture ranging from Victorian style furniture to British campaign style to art deco style began coming out of the region and was popular in cosmopolitan cities in Asia. Today Teakwood sculptures, Teak garden furniture, recycled Teak furniture and Teak outdoor furniture are strong sellers, primarily due to the durability of Teak wood. Indonesia and Thailand are major sources for Teak wood furniture.

it seems bugged

Russia is not the biggest player base. The largest buyer of the game is USA, second largest is Germany.
oke , interesting but,
why is this important .. if you talk about buying the game ,its about player density it seems,( and prime time i guess)
but i believe that the player base from Europe is bigger than the USA (continents)[if not , i am surprised, and wonder why i don't see them so much]
of the records, it is always possible to introduce multiple time zones for contents on one map to do battle in different prime time nations
if France puts a port between 2 USA ports i find it not strange that the prime time for the USA, is not the same as the French
so why not give those 3 ports also 2 different port timers
if it flips ,it flips, and you can take it back any day...... lets call it border time zones
i myself dont find it a problem to have multiple times zones on a map
its always a surprise to wake up and hear that new york jan/kees won the world baseball series (yesterday)
some people do battle every day, some people do battle every weekend
time should be irrelevant
the weekend sailors do not find it strange there was a battle somewhere and lost 5 ports to other nations, even if the where night flipped
OT
the more possibilities, the more interesting the game will be
but we always have to watch for some kind of cheat or flaw in the game what is a set back for other players, other than the user of that mechanic
the more nations on the map, the better,.. every nation who sailed in that time period should be there ,...even if it is one ship and 50 people on the island

update steam and try again

The only problem I have are the shallow ones. Most folks take time to knock off the deep water ones if it's a small group doing them, but I can solo the shallow ones in any 4/5th rate with out hardly any damage. Than flip that port and not show up. Than it might become kinda of exploit/griefing if that starts to become a problem. We all ready had one shallow port flipped and the clan didn't show so it wasted our time as we all came and had to do the port battle to make sure no one jumped in for 30 mins. Maybe we should have some system if this starts to become a problem where a clan that grief to much (not show to a port battle) actually can loose there ability to cause agro on a port for a set time. Like a cool down. As it was an issue with constant false flips with the old flag system. We will see if this starts to be an issue though.
i agree the developers must address this as a flagged clan doing hostility( its, maybe against the other nation clans interest, maybe you can attack them also ) [just a sugestion]
when captured it must have also(the possibility) to rule out also same nation clans, (for doing trade[ not rule out docking] ) you must have the ability to select only your own clan and/or nation for doing trade ,i bet it will intensify the eager to fight over other ports
select when captured port ;
-only your own clan/ [trade]
- clan and nation /trade +docking
- trade for everyone/ trade +docking
now it is only nation/trade + docking - and everyone/ trade + docking
smugglers can bypass it all (here the smuggler gets his meaning again [ + flagged - (and not attackable by clan alliance [other clan]members, but if not in the [clan] alliance,... you can attack it , even, when same nation])
this can address a lot of disagreements within nation groups as well, and clarify a lot more on the map visible to everyone
also, clan alliance must have a mutual agreement on being in the alliance, now atm that is not needed...and must be visible as a mutually agreed status
all and all status must, of course, be visible on the map somehow...
oeps i am walking the plank here: but it will address unnecessary griefing against ports were there is not the intention to conquer ports for a meaning to become the owner of that port (clans or members of clans needs to think twice to act... like this then)

Please keep in mind that it was only an EDR decision and there were just looking for pvp action as the game is dead.
Dont put le other clan and all the nation in it.
like i said ...PARTS...
that does not mean every french captain of course ...(they suffer from a revolt in their own ranks. to sort out in the first place) at least the Dutch understand that...

@Thonys If you wanna balance the game, oppose the Swedish nation
Sweden is a nation already steamrolled Pirates, French, Brits, US, Spanish, Danes (in terms of OW PvP, RvR was status quo). They didn't touch Dutch yet 
No one wants to fight them any longer. I would see a vital alliance Dutch-French against Swedes.
well..
. parts of the French made some kind of alliance with the Brits, who showed to be very unreliable to the dutch (British treason, [a run over by foreign non-British] )
[ the French will soon find out the true nature of the British ]
. the dutch turned their eyes away from the Brits, What means, we are not willing to see them next to the French as allies in a[ Dutch - / British-French coalition.]
......and for the Swedish touching thing ...
not every Swedish capt is as stupid as the majority of the [other]captains {who play to much ...with the rum...}
>>> it can kill their entire nation.....[and they know it..[[ parts will hoist their flag to origin[*sig] if... they make a mistake]]
-
well it can bring more dynamic to the game
it is probably not a very used option ,but in some cases, it will do the trick
but the idea that pirates can join clan nation pb is a bit too far for me (i just don't see them(pirates) as a worthy civilized nation)
perhaps in screening form OW , they can join ,.... but not PB.

As EDR is clearly the only french clan doing ANYTHING at all, I am interested in the goals of the "rest" of the french nation.
unknown at the moment
see this:
Salut à tous,
Les HYDRA ont malheureusement constaté ce soir que les EDR ont pacté avec certains clans Anglais.
Les EDR ont screené pour le compte des Anglais dans la zone Est de la Louisianne, ils ont engagé les flottes USA et Danoises...
Les HYDRA maintiendront une bonne relation avec les autres clans Français, mais tous navires Français se trouvant dans une flotte contenant des EDR sera considéré comme enemies.
Il va de soit que les EDR sont à partir d'aujourd'hui une cible privilégiée pour les HYDRA, les clans Américains et Espagnoles seront rapidement associés à cette position hostile.
Les autres clans Français étrangers (voir opposés) à l'initiative des EDR devront rapidement nous manifester leur neutralité dans cette affaire.

EDR unlike other French clans are tired of sitting in the map corner doing nothing. They can't break through the Swedish wall, so they must try something different. Really shame to all other clans in French nation that were opposed to it. Stay in safe zones and keep calm for the rest of your life.
On the side note... I always wondered why Dutch don't fight French. Dutch are so bored that they came to Haiti help Swedes probably... These nations are natural enemies and equal opponents for each other.
well discovering the truth is always difficult
but one of the reasons is; * lettre de course
."secret high diplomatic negotiations" to diverse the pressure; to make it possible to have a way to making the way clear for some dutch captains to become under the letter of marque "letter of marque and reprisal" and hoist the other nation flag(swedes)
.to even the balance, and to fulfill the nature of the captains to fight
.where the balance will stay intact for the Dutch (with perhaps a trade treaty)
of course, i am not going to reveal all the detail, but that is, in general, the answer to your thoughts...

well, i saw this coming 2 months ago
but i was always wondering why the French always want to dig their own grave

Unless it has changed since the last patch if you get to a wreck and it's got too much cargo for your ship there is no capacity to share it out amongst any fleet ships you have. I think to be able to do this would be a good thing.
a possibility would be(like in battle) make available for other players

Combat News is great.
well perhaps not in a chat way> but in a separate tab with more details and location
where also the political hostility environment is posted with(if there is data room)
also including perhaps a map with pins of sunken ships

Hi captains .DEVS
when i look at the chat channel sometimes see the following question:
>>how is the political situation, have we peace with the "XXXXXX "?
or i see this one:
"with who do we have war at the moment"
Sometimes a captain do not get an answer, or gets a strange answer from a captain with his own interpretation or agreement who made a treaty
to address this situation i wonder if it is possible
to have a diagram with nations whos is hostile against a other nation
so the meaning of this is to interpret the hostility level among
nationsclansfor example; something like this:
Nations: victims> Sweden British pirates Spanish dutch french [captains]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
French sinks : 25 0 3 0 1 -
British sinks: 1 - 5 5 1 2
Pirates sinks: 1 1 39 0 0 0
Spanish sinks : 1 9 6 - 0 0
Dutch sinks: 0 0 0 0 - 0
Sweden sinks : - 4 1 1 0 19
in this diagram, you can interpret the fighting in the political environment
her you can see:
that the French CAPTAINS(clans) have hostility with the Sweden
French sinks 25 Swedish and the Sweden sinks 19 french
her you can see also that the pirates are more fighting each other and are no threat to other nations captains
so people will have a rough idea what is going on on the map and in the game
her you see also you have nothing to fear from the Dutch,so you can trade at their harbors savely
different solution ;
or: like in eve where you see the hostility map where the number of destroyed ships is given by numbers (the bigger the destroyed numbers the bigger the red colored hostility circle is

How does tar correlate to armor thickness? In regard to the planks - the tar can not be said to have any effect on the ability to absorb blunt force. Remove the magic.
I can accept the copperplating (though I really find it odd that it apparently is so demanding technologically that it is uncraftable), to some extent I can accept the different riggings like bovenwinds or british rigging refits. I can't say that I'm impressed by the mats req - again why is it necessary to make 5 human sacrifices of some captains daughter to make bovenwind refit? The figureheads that improve morale or reload I can accept, even if they improved sail raising speed or yard turning - all these assets can be attributed to morale affected by the figurehead. A figurehead that somehow improves gunpenetration or ship speed? - that's just voodoo magic.

But how does tar give more armor thickness?
a sturdy wall of planks is better than a loose plank who must absorb all the force of the energy
also leaks are important for speed and making water
a smooth hull is important for speed and cohesive behavior (for example copper plating)
Sweden is a nation already steamrolled Pirates, French, Brits, US, Spanish, Danes (in terms of OW PvP, RvR was status quo). They didn't touch Dutch yet 
No one wants to fight them any longer. I would see a vital alliance Dutch-French against Swedes.
Is this okay?

well making customised speed on a ship , would be a pro if ;
the speed is stretched out more (no cap)
and the weight restriction is reduced for guns or/ and loading goods in the hold...
i would say let go of the cap, and make wood type more important now, it is all the same if capped ...
also put in a handy cap for the shipbuilder (upgrades) a good shipbuilder can put in 5
upgrades (expensive premium ship )
make upgrades more available for players so they have a choice
make more customisation on ships available and make it more like: the use of the ship , where do i want to make my ship excile in..like turning or acceleration or speed or more tank or more bouncy, more man or more guns, made specific ship build
for example counterpart of speed is the thickness of armor and br what makes a ship vulnerable now you have to think whats your goal with the ship
i do believe capping speed is not the way to go
more possibility in craftsmanship/ship knowledge and the captain is key i believe if you want to outrun a ship
ps.. a careened ship is vital .......what also should be an upgrade (something i dont see in the game at all , what is a missed opportunity)
upgrade; careened ship upgrade -multiplier 1.15 for all other installed upgrades....( just to give a idea)
/or put it in game by manage crew and >>[ship] ,and make this very expensive...(with delay of use for 1 hour)
everybody is sailing the same shit...it seems
