I would say yes, but i don't think there is a dev produced answer and a solution would be more current playerbase actions as a whole.
However i don't see this happening until perhaps game is on it's final death throws.

They do already.
Snow is rank 6. Prince is rank 6. Mercury is rank 6. And so on.
Plenty of players use then and fight warships equal to them.
Because not everyone looks to ship size as the end of all. Many do not even want to sail the big stuff at all.
So think about everyone
I'm more thinking of the hunting of low rank trade ships and the validity of inclusion within the hunt/PZ missions, kind of like basic cutter you can sink them but do not count for mission count
.
I love small ships also :), but sinking 10 trader brigs for the mission reward seems a cheap way to farm chests. Making them not count to the missions would at least create something akin to basic cutter mentality where mostly they are left alone which ofc would mean new guys could get out of kpr/mortimer etc easier than currently to start their way.
Like in dutch nation we have a guy that will run in sight of an armed mercury or whatever, and only farmes t-brigs lol.

Yes, trade ships excluding LGV and Indiaman
Regarding the warships of rank 6...how will the rank 6 captains earn their pvp hunt mission rewards ?
Fighting battle ready ships perhaps? ......... oh the lunacy of the thought.
-
Perhaps a good initial step would be to stop 6th rate and below trade ships counting to hunt and PZ missions.
People could still sink them ofc but at moment they are just an easy way to farm the 6th rate PvP hunt missions.
Hopefully would mean newer guys could at least trade in relative peace to gain reals/dubs when setting up.

And once again since the devs do not want to believe that ships can vanish decided to change the topic to Fake News.
I guess that tells the community what to expect. So to the A-Holes who use this exploit, please continue, it's not like you will ever get punished for it anyway.
Can rate this right up there with the duplication bug (that was denied for a while as well) and all the other nice little "Features" available in the game.
The topic was always fake news :), that wasn't Admin (this time
)

Let's say I'm a player who's fed up with the game, so for me, personally here is what drives me away:
too much sailing, boredom, big fights, a rarirty here, 99% of the time it's gank or be ganked, don't care about any econ, great mods and all that stuff that's supposed to create content. The combat in the game is great, but you just can't get it. Loosen up this shit a little bit, let people have fun.
Agree 100%
When so many players are afk sailing either watching netflix or playing another game it is quite sad really.

this is one of the possible explanations but maybe you can do something else to disappear!
Apparently you can disappear when entering a Saudi embassy.

Eventually someone will catch it happening with video or stream.
I'm just concerned more about game as a whole, and have seen how exploits or whatever totally wreck a game as more and more do the same.
Perhaps is missions, voodoo, alien ship abduction i don't know but however is done needs to be closed or could become a big issue.

Well the devs stand firm that there is no safe exit possible, and yet these occurrences still continue to happen. The reason I thought it might be a tow to port is that a network disconnect should still trigger a 2 min loss of control of the ship. If there is some way to trigger a tow to port but maintain control then it might explain how this is being done. But that is just grasping at possibilities as most other theories have been ruled out and the players are left to figure it out until a video evidence of what is transpiring is provided.
Thing is though tow to port no longer exists in game afaik, so not sure how would be possible.
Anyway we are just players, is up to devs really to figure how etc.

Being lenient with new guys can't be expected from most people sadly, we are creatures of habit and issues. Hard coded game mechanics that shower puppy stomping is asinine, and self destructive to an intellectual property you actually care about.
I suspect the AI will be a tool they will counter with, well i hope is the case.
Perhaps more someone camps an area then over time the AI have increasing chance to respond to the camper(s).
Other games use the similiar methods to prevent hunt bots farming area's by spawning something that will kill bots in an easy area, easy to avoid if playing but lethal if a farming bot.
I guess AI could be used to the same affect, with chance of AI response increasing longer someone camps a port/area.

Perhaps the AI acting will have an effect on seal clubbing.
Guess we will see.
@Atreides - good to bring this up, killing new guys doesn't help game at all. Yesterday i tagged a GB indiaman in my snow and he had 120 crew..... i let him kill me for a lift home
.
If we all were more lenient with new guys perhaps the server pop would grow.

His ship at full sail in front of me, well within 30 seconds of tagging range. Suddenly his ship dissapears, but the attack tag comes active, I hit it but ssail past the tag circle. double back, but it is too late. 20 minutes later a repeat of this. Currently sitting on the spot where his ship at full sail going fast dissapeared. His clanmate reported he is not online. I was never going to report this crap on the forum. Because the devs demand video and forensic data and I can't be bothered to debug their game.
/edit I have just been told LegoLarry reported the same exploit recently and was dismissed wholesale. o7 larry
Yes basically Admin when i reported in tribuneral called out fake news.
I saw chat in global and thread title was not aimed at you, rather the whole denial complex happening
.
Perhaps is people jumping nation with legacy missions, no idea but has been happening quite often lately.

Fake news continues over the carribean.
NB- Not a knock at Atriedes who is a fine fellow! , more a pointer to the denial complex that seems to be in place.

We can only provide information that we provided above, and Yes.. NPC aggression comes to War server too and it includes attacks on ports.
At least will provide some more RvR content, even if is against AI.
I await the moment the AI double flip a nation while PvP port battle is scheduled lol

Sounds ok, and happy to hear PvE server is getting some love even though i play on PvP.
Another DLC ship some will like, and after all is a choice to buy or not buy.
Can you bring diana back into the game as non DLC perhaps, or is this also destined for the same fate?

Perhaps a solution would be to hard cap different rate ships at different max speeds.

Thanks! So the lines have no relevance on the PvE server then?
Not at the moment, but think the devs did say somewhere they are looking at some way of bringing RvR into PvE no idea how or when though.

Well it's not retaining players at the moment, server pop fall has been kinda dramatic for a released game. Admin said over 5k new people bought game after release, and again we are down to levels just above test; it's quite worrying.
