There are ways to fix this other than eliminating the TP. Severly reduce the amount of FT on the map (Do we really need 4 FT in the lesser antilles?). Limit FT to 5th rates, etc. Also, I doubt you would hunt anything between Fort Royal and Bridgetown if you were playing as France..

I agree with most of your proposition, but going a bit off topic here, the removal of "captain TP" between outpost would not add anything. Everyone would just travel between outposts in basic cutter and that adds nothing new to OW content compared to what we have now. No ship TP is enough as it is. I don't even see the point of no TP from FT, considering you'd still have to sail your ships and repairs in there anyway. As a PVP Global France player, stuck in the corner of the map, I would be more involved in foreign waters if it meant I wasn't locked in there. The idea of sailing back to my main area for whatever reason in a basic cutter just for the sake of it makes me puke.

I think the OP has a point: Right now, pirates are nothing but a duplicate of other nations, with a special flag and the ability to tag each other. If pirates were to become some real privateer operating out of FT or other hidden outpost, they could play a real role as commerce raider behind the lines instead of fielding 25 man PB fleets like everyon else. If they had their own commerce raider mechaninc, then they could be limited to maybe 5th rates. Until then, we got to accept they are just a regular nation.

This is very good news. Hope you guys find what you are looking for on PVP global. Welcome!

As long as we can't TP ships, I see no problems with TPs in and out of FT. You would still need to sail your ship there the first time, and any replacement. Slamz's suggestions means people, if they alreayd have ships in that FT, would sail back to that FT in basic cutter. And basic cutter taxi's aren't OW content, IMO.

Wait for them to ask you to turn over the Maracaibo lake area to better protect you from the French!

Danes are about to flip it (93%). I'm not convinced this is a misunderstanding. We all know swedes will need a few days, or even a week to flip a region. This is all about temporary conquest marks farming and Danes want to deny us those CMs. Any diplomatic talks going on?

When i've asked them about the pray button, they replied to me that they did not know what use it had.

Free perk reset defeat the purpose of limited number of perks allowed. I personally only use combat perks, as I find them more important than trading perks. I can trade or craft all right without those specific perks.

My understanding is that it was used when the ships was anchored at port (mothballed), but that it was removed when the ship was actually in operational order.

Please, remove the small cabin on Bucentaure's poop deck!

I would not call what is happening between France and DN a war. More like a empty port flip race, thanks to the time zones.

No one can defend vs the Aussies but the Danes. Why do you have a peace agreement with them again? ?

There is a strong and well organized group of Chinese players in DN on global. I'm sure they could defend your ports when you are asleep, but that would mean, for you, to lose some control over the events... It could work if the alliances were negotiated in order to insure a presence "all around the clock" for both mega blocks

NVM, please delete.

You've already lost the race.Roseau is about to be flipped.

Thanks for your effort. It would also be great to have a similar guide for modules (British refit, bovenwind refit, etc.)

I understand that the list of 25 landlord will be adjusted after each PB, won or lost. So if 25 players conquer a region, but after a while, 25 different players come defending succesfully the port in a defensive PB, the marks are then given to the 2nd group of 25 player from now on.

I don't see French gunnery sergeant in the list?

Thanks for you work. I see the Prince de Neufchâtel is still there !?

British do have Manzanilla as a coal port that is quite close to their capital. Another option might be to provide all nation with at least one port where coal is put on auction, but in small quantities. But you then need to capture a port allowing a coal mine if you wish to produce coal yourself (and you'll need to to sustain any real war economy.)

It would be cool to be allowed to change your name, at a cost of some PVE marks for exemple.

You can unlock the first 3 upgrade slots, but you'll need to unlock earlier ships to unlock the last 4-5.

Why not the good old Ducats?
