Don't let clans set limits, but have varying limits at port. A dozen sizes instead of 3.

You also have to remember when tow was in earlier, you could send ships any where almost instantly by capping an enemy and using the fleet screen coming out of battle. Tow was the slow, lazy, expensive way to afk sail. It was also a way to park a ship overnight if you were maxxed out.

How about the moving of ships in tow is announced by the clerk in the news section. Use Tow, it is announced. If you want to sneak attack, then sail the darn thing yourself.

Last night you said the port was Cartahana. Now you open and close the offer in 13 hours, most of them overnight. There is no discernable reason for closing the offer that quickly.

From earlier... "Exactly we attacked you after you attacked two pirate ports. While we have told them they won't get any support in the gulf from most of the other clans, but any way they took neutral ports not US ports. You than attacked and took Hitten Hatcha and Las Sabinas from pirates. That is two ports that US attacked FIRST. " And " If they would like to keep us from walking up there coast they should think wisely about what targets they might hit in the future. " Um... Ok.

Edited for brevity. Really? You want us to fight to our level, but you jump in first chance you get. Why don't you let you nations clans fight it out with the US? Someone took ports in the gulf. Leaving off the crap they pulled after stabbing their own nation in the back, they could not defend what they took. Maybe you should apply your advice for us to them. Go fight at the level you are ready for. Why not let VCO and MARS go at it. As you say, we need to fight at our own level. Let them fight at their own level too. We have defended our areas from the Brits. We can't help it if they don't defend ports they took. Now we learn that we are heading back to the old self declared dictatorship model. Do exactly what we say or you will be crushed... For your in good. How about this, let people fight, win or lose, dust it off and rebuild to do it again. Leave the we rule the server crap at home.

The US can do 3 or 4 real port battles a week. Maybe one of them a 1st rate fight and an extra week to rebuild if we lose a lot of ships in it. A busier schedule than that will probably overload us. Most players can't port battle every night. The game is not generating a significant number of new players. That has not recovered. We are not seeing old players return in any numbers. This game has one more chance when it goes to beta. But they better get it right this time. Another failure will doom it. And the game can have one more full reset, but that will be it. Even that would be iffy and it would be a good idea not to have any more.

The US had what? 4 port battles against clans this week. 1 with 3 store bought ships on the enemy side, 2 empty ones and a good 1st rate fight. We are showing up to fight. Oh, and and in this latest one, the Pirates attacked us.

Well said.

The US has been fighting the Brits and anyone else in our area of control. There is nightly PVP on the US coast. If a fight is in combat news, odds are it was a US player. We can't fight the Brits in their home waters since we are separated by half a map and an active enemy between us. It is time for other nations to fight, not the US.

Let me get this right, the US can't get it's shit together, but you rage quit because you didn't get help fighting the nation that can't get it's shit together.

Now in color.

You want a trophy for moving from one big nation to another?

You get the ship.

Get the game, log in, sail the basic cutter and try to kill stuff. Turn on Nation chat, ask questions and people will help you out.

300, that's pretty certain. 500+ is the question. If it does not go over 300 for a couple weeks, put a fork in her.

It is clearly intentional.

I don't have a problem with the changes. I have a problem with two days notice. Especially when it was at least weekly people asked for the timeline and getting no information.

You really are not listening and seeking understanding. The entire map and national strategies are in flux. The smart thing is to withdraw to safety and execute on basic strategy before you attempt forward bases without support. This is further impacted by some nations being wholly transfered to another region and will be acting completely differently.

Just to be sure, the remaining free towns listed, will stay free and not capturable?

If the game had a thousand active players, sure. But it's current state... Another mistake.

This would be a great thing.

Could you delay this a week and enable teleport to capital temporarily? People who are off line will lose resources and ships. Some of those that left in July. This is a huge mistake on top of the rest of them.

Sigh.

This thread is a question and an answer to another one at the same time. But ultimately it is a fail question. A team that wins in a failing game is irrelevant.
