If you honestly think AUSEZ was the only clan that was peeved at the Council then you must be living in La la land. We gave the council chance after chance to get your crap in order and all you did was fart arse around and argue with each other. Note the fact that Britain controls all of the Western map, yeah, that was AUSEZ mostly. Yeah, we jumped off the Titanic, but you're the idiots who crashed it in the first place.

True, but with the new diplomacy setup and the state of the pirate faction, as well as the changes soon to be made, there will be no incentive to form these contracts,

This is a suggestion I've formed based on some input from some other pirates. Perhaps it would be possible at some point to introduce a privateer function for the pirates. The way it could work is that one nation could offer a contract to a pirate clan or just to individual pirates to assist them in battle for a reward of some description for a certain period of time. There would have to be a limit on the number of pirates they could hire, say 10-15 at a time to avoid the system being exploited. It would be good to have a function of this description as it would give the pirates some utility, rather than just have them sail around and annoy everyone, and it would allow pirates to participate in more high reward battles such as port battles and fleet actions. This system would also be useful for nations that are struggling to pull in new recruits or are being overwhelmed by well coordinated alliances, they could put out a contract and have 15 extra ships to help them.

It should be temporary. We would have come to help liberate America as the British, but every other British clan except AUSEZ had shifted East and there was no way we could have gotten to you past the pirates and the Spanish all alone.

Thirded. I was part of the fleet that attempted to persue Brogsitter. He used the alt account "Just Another British Alt" to scout the area around where he engaged Vykorie whilst he remained in the post battle screen. When he realised that the area was surrounded by British ships, he sailed "Just Another British Alt" westwards and used it to scout in that direction before making a run for it. Brogsitter is abusing the BR system using alts to prevent allied ships from reinforcing traders he attacks, then using the alts to ensure that he can escape with the loot.
