That's why I suggested a Clan Server and a Nation Server.

Couldn't disagree more with OP. Weather should have even more influence e.g. ship damage if not circumnavigated. It would give PVP and PVE more challenges during combat, and a need for better planning your trading routs. I would call that additional "content" (esp. for PVE)

Good suggestion. It would strengthen finally the meaning of nations in this game. Since I am not a fan of OP clans, it could suit solo players as well. And finally people would take care about there ports. Plus, I would include that neglected ports turn neutral/pirate

Agree, but it should depend on the boat size. Bigger ships - bigger radius but maybe with a timer...

Captains, I'd like to share with you some ideas to the past discussions about content/nations and possible server solutions based on the two server model: 1. CvC Server (Clan versus Clan) - No nations, only clans - No safe zones - No grinding (just choose your ship for fight) - Ganking, death match, capture flag etc. - "old" battle system - Target: Clan/player scores, conquests 2. NvN Server (Nation versus Nation) - Only Nations (yes, no clans) - Pirates: no nation to choose, you become Pirate for sinking the wrong ship (e.g. without letter of marque) or delivering the wrong letter/person, highest craftable ship is Pirate Frigate; "abandoned" colonies can turn to pirate or neutral, - grinding and crafting (also trading goods), no ship DLCs - Missions: Delivery missions have an influence on Nations (e.g. riots in an enemy colony) - "new" battle system (from testbed) - only balanced fights (via BR), patrol zones are free fighting areas - Everybody can join a PB - More "content" (missions and incentives): kill, escort fleet, nobility titles, nice ship rewards, spy activities for the crown or to even get married with the most beautiful governor's daughter - Caribbean news for each nation (alliances, political development, port battles, colonies, nation, economy) - tbc Please join the discussion FvB
