Damn most of us just want to have fun and shoot at each other. Everything that is designed to refrain us from doing that is just bad for the game...taking hours sailing means you are mostly lost for the game...not doing pvp not participating in anything...making ships so damn hard to craft means that noone is willing to risk them...spreading people all over the map with our population means that chasing is useless...you can sail hours without seeing anyone. Only thing we get is one shiny pb per week where the only way to get in is just logging off in front of the port the day before. And even for that we are forced to do pve missions or just plant a bomb...Multiple flags were bad but when only one was launched at least it was fun and screening had a purpose....
