It would break some of the realism that the Devs were going for, but move capital cities around to open the map more. Having the capitols where they are now puts the Swedes, Danish, French, and to a lesser extent Holland in direct competition the second they leave their capitols. I just think it would be nice to spread out the map more.

This is pure speculation on my part but if you look at the harbor map for PvP 2 US over here http://www.navalactioncraft.com/mapand then compare it to the harbor map of PvP EU 1 it looks like it is more of a struggle to control harbors. Still looks like there are underrepresented nations but it looks like a better split. Once again, pure speculation but it may have something to do with it. Fair sailing Captains

I am a new player to this game, only started last week with two of my friends. I think this is an incredibly fun game and have had a number of fun skirmishes with other players. Only one problem, we chose to join Sweden, I don't think we chose poorly, it was enjoyable for the first couple days. Now every time I log in I see that we have lost another port to the British, or more recently the Danes. I have no problem with how open world PvP is right now, but as a new player it is incredibly frustrating to log in to cries of we need help defending (Insert port here) only to realize that even with the mission grinding I have been doing I only just today have the ability to crew a Cerb. That being said, because I am a part of Sweden I have no access to resources to make ships. So I bought a basic Cerb and am outclassed in many fights just because I cant raise my crafting level to make my own Fine Cerb. Now with many of our Swedish players jumping ship to France or just quitting all together, it is hampering my ability to have fun at all. Was just sailing around doing some PvE on traders to help my friend who doesn't get to play much and a British ship joined the fight, sank the trade ship, which I asked him not to, and then proceeded to chase me and my friend back to port. So what I am getting at is, this game is fun till individuals ruin it. Big nations that want to PvP, that's great, just remember if you want the game to stay healthy, you have to make it fun for people to get into. Attacking lower level people who just got their first snow, I can't imagine that is fun for anyone. Fair sailing to all captains.
