Your USA guys do have most ports and keep trying to get more because of your greed. The more ports you gain the harder it is to defend them all because they become further away and not everyone on all nations including pirates would be willing to sail to the other end of the map just to defend a port they dont care about and dont even sail over there. you may have more people on usa then all the nations but not all of them want to sail so far away and then end up having to give up something to attack or defend a port when they can just sit back and chill with missions or fishing, without much worry. most of the usa players on pvp2 i still havent seen at all yet and i know they are in the golf of mexico because they aint up around the east coast.

what i was getting at with the times is showing how big the map is.

did you have the fireship fitting? if you do once your on fire you cannot put it out. its meant for blowing up enemy ships if you got that on and you are not wanting to blow your ship up trying to destroy enemy ships you dont need it on at all.

I will say this. to sail from lorimers to kidds harbour takes about an hour in the FASTEST ships and that isnt even half of the map as far as distance covered. and from kidds harbour to the east coast is about the same as well as from kidds harbour to summerset is also about an hour. from mort to canalete is almost an hour and a half. now currently when you buy a port flag you have 60 minutes to plant it at that port. not everyone would be able to make it in time. those times ive mentioned are with NO BATTLES OR BEING CHASED just going straight there. Now how big is the map now with those real life time spent just sailing to those ports from a specific port. so from summerset to tulum is going to be like at least 2 and a half hours of real time just sailing there with no battles in between that includes going around islands not everyone has that time to just sit here and sail even going afk people have jobs, people go to school people have lives. im one of the few who has the actual time to sail all that without getting up to leave the house. i dont think forcing everyone to have to sail prized ships back to a port and we do need more outposts we can place the current amount is not enough. Im a pvp player and i got ports in places all over and i sailed allt he way there when i wasnt hunting other nations players or doing port battles. this is going to bring down new players and they will be telling their friends to not get the game which will hurt the population to the point of you devs wondering what happened when us players are the main feedback because i'll admit i do wait with other pirates outside of a battle because a fellow clan member or pirate is in trouble and we chase him down as soon as that enemy player pops out that aint going to change with the having players sail their prizes back to any port nearby they would be pulled into battle as soon as the option pops up. Its called ambushing and every player in this game knows that is going to happen especially if they are attack pirates. and they are going to lose both ships because the ambusher will have the numbers and both ships will be too undercrewed to be effective to run. this is going to make people leave not all but many.
