the Kidd

a really simple idea would been: The Port Owner can set up some rules... - Only Clanmember can set contracts - (an art whitelist like the friendly clan list) for whitelisting clans that are allowed to set up contracts. - the whole nation can set contracts

If you have control over who can set contracts in the own port you create more RvR and diplomatic... in the nation you create a Need to talk with the port owner to allow your clan to set contracts in it... addionaly the alt's for resources are useless because no an alt has no clan or better say no clan with a good relationship to the port owner... and on the other hand other nations have a Need to capture the port because they Need the stuff from inside... which they cant get with alt's anymore.

What do you all think about a mechanic that gives every member of the Nation the possibillity to chose a King / President. It's only an idea an this idea is definetly not finished but it could be solve for some Problems.... This system can work like: - King/President - get chosen by all members of the nation -> once per month -> you have allways the possibility to collect votes if you get enough votes to "fire" the president this result in a new election... - He can do the diplomatic system he can set nations/clans on friendly / if you attack a friendly nation you get kicket to Pirate with possibilty to get back to your nation / or you get set as a enemy of your own nation - He can give a Clan the status of "enemy of the own nation" -> Attackable from the own nation - Clans - Clan do still hostility - that means the clan that does hostilty get the port if they win the PB - Clan set the "Rule" who can enter this Ports (Free for all / Free for the whole Nation / Free for the Nation without the "enemy of the Nation") - A Clan can get attacked if he is set on "Enemy of the Nation" Clanless Players - Clanless are a form of neutral that cant getting attacked by the own nation (exeption enemy of the own nation) - Clanless can still not capture ports - Clanless can enter every Port of a Nation What do you think about something like that?

Are you kidding me? The reason for my post is simple... As a newbie you will not reallly getting better in this game with this system... You loose against Players that are much more experienced and much better equipt then you. The only thing you get from a fight, in which you wanna learn or getting better, is a punch in your face. You loose your ship you loose almost everything and you will not been motivated to do more PvP because you dont even have a chance against a good geared/experineced Player. So why i should really waste my ships for getting hello kittyed up? If you would earn PvP Marks in relation to your damage youve got something from a fight against a good one... you should not get rich through this but you should receive something for your work... With this system only the guys that are in this game for months and years will get better, the new ones getting frustrated... I had the same Problem, before i received my marks in stupid ganks. Now ive got some of the most important books and upgrades and can get a better player... i am think i really Play better now buts its hard to learn if every enemy is faster, thicker and have more HP then you... Farming Marks should not blockade a good system... farming marks should get punished through the devs...

I really dont like this idea.... I think the system at the moment is better. The point that really should get fixed is if you loose a fight in a battle you should also get PvP Marks for the damage youve done against your enemy... Player X vs Player Y Player X wins and get 10 PvP Marks Player Y loose and get for example 3 PvP Marks for doing 60 % damage The Values are examples... in this example youve get max 50% of the PvP Marks that the winner earn... in this in relation to your damge... Would mean if he's sinking too you get 5 PvP marks if youve done 20% dmg youve earn 1 PvP Mark
