As I said before you absorbed nearly all the content drivers from both nations.
There was a very vibrant war going on between Spain and GB, now there is only Sweden
you are also neglecting to mention your Russian friends made that "vibrant war" a joke.
nonetheless, we made an agreement and both sides seemed tentatively content with the outcome. -

Teutonic: Blame the devs.
I mean, am I wrong though?
we all hate how it is setup currently.
-
fact is, the game has turned to such an extraordinary grind that no one wants to lose a valuable "crafting port."
outcome is, no matter which nation, people have and will stop playing due to high developed ports being taken....tl;dr honestly this is seriously a "blame the devs" scenario.
We told the devs we hated the hostility grinding and the mechanic abuses (exploits) that happened. We wanted less grind.
so instead we change it to "different grind" and it's even worse. congrats guys, we played ourselves.

Spicy,
I've missed this Drama.

Sooo...you're saying that for every choice we make in PvP from now on, we are limiting our future choices in PvP?
By definition we're all eventually only going to be able to join the battles of ONE other nation, if any. And that nation might be different for different people in the same clan. People from the same clan, sailing together, in the same group, will not be able to join the same battles.
Did you take into account that alliances change? Or that a nation you're allied to might be enemy with another one of your allies? Or the fact that there are different clans within the same nation with different agendas. And sometimes you know that a particular clan is in an area or battle and you join against them even though you would not join against other clans in that nation.
Does every exploit have to be countered by an extremely restrictive mechanic that punishes all of us, especially the ones who never abused? Why can't we just go on reporting abusers and they get banned, but the rest of us can go on using the mechanics normally.
Personally...
I would have thought working on a better alliance mechanic would be a lot more enjoyable and rewarding for players than to restrict and make it harder to PvP...

Good change.

It seems like a constant issue of which will never be solved.
some Spanish ask GB for surrender, some "other" spanish stated they never surrendered, they just didn't plan on doing anything, and some still ask things from GB, and even some others asks things of Sweden.
it begs the question - Which Spaniard do you believe is the new "leader?" FNI may have negotiated just for themselves and no harm or foul to them - but other spanish clans wanted a few different outcomes.

not doing RvR on a daily, practically hourly basis, has honestly been such a godsend for most of the players that I have talked to.
People still want to RvR, but I don't think anyone was enjoying the non-stop grind after a bit. so maybe this new Flag system (better than the old.....maybe?) will encourage better OW PvP by "telling" people where to go for it.

Have you heard it from some guys? Or you actually reproduced this yourself? the chained exploit as you say... Please dont theoritise in tribunals and if you heard the rumour, take a mission and test it please first
Overall
You cannot chain generate doubloons, but a pvp ship (if you kill yourself) its a pvp kill as the ship is destroyed. Remove the ship from game = get rewarded.
But there will no no chain doubloons as we know the original owner at the start of the instance is a bot. So you cannot continue chain farming them.I am not blaming anyone, but I have heard that it's just you need to sink the ship you were "originally" in when the battle starts.
In many cases I've heard the players just use the ship they captured in the "next" mission and rinse and repeat.I assume it's "working as intended"....but it's certainly a creative way to get doubloons.
"off topic" but couldn't we say this suggests that Doubloon income could use an improvement for non-PvP related activities?

Very great victory and hardly obtained one, I'd say.
But the most renown thing will be even much more great victory of Spain vs Brits in empty PB. Looking forward to see you posting such screen here in Great Battles section.the Brits set the timer of 3-6. why weren't more there to defend? 🤔

I've been on both sides of being screened as a form of "griefing" and being screened as a form of PvP content.
With the addition of this "item" so that a PB can get into a port battle is at first nice to consider. because the PB fleet wants the PB content. but the players outside also want content in the form of PvP.
lets take the term Screeners out of the process. instead taking it to the core of what it is.
a Port Battle is essentially a "signal" to the server informing folks where players are likely to be when looking for PvP. Effectively, a port battle is the ONLY way to have a 99% chance of certainty that there will be players to fight, whether that means in the port battle, or the surrounding waters.
So what happens when you take away a key aspect of how port battle work currently - in the form of a PB fleet needing to use OW to get to their destination - and allow folks to bypass the limitation?
You kill OW PvP around Port Battles. So your question goes to - Where can I go that the game can tell me where players are? After all, when we for for OW PvP content, the majority of us are going out because we want/need to find people in order to enact PvP.
the game NEEDS a way for players to know where other players are with better accuracy - multiple players in the past have asked for a "heat-map" and I can't believe we still don't have it.
We seem to be going in the direction of "Make things easier for players to have PvP," and yet changes to game mechanics seem to also entirely contradict that very goal.
1. Bring back Small/Large Battles and do the following
A - Risk/Reward: Small/Large Battles now gives Rewards while also risking your ship
B - Small Battles are no larger than 4th rates - and each side is evenly formed based on BR from all players Queue'd
C - Large Battles have no limit - each side is evenly formed based on BR from all players Queue'd2. Heat map - we already have a "form" of it based on the ship log note showing battles nearby that are open to you.....Why don't we have that as..I don't know...standard?
Give it like a 10-20 minute cooldown, but allows players to be able to check all the time. we are out their sailing because we WANT PvP action, lets make it easier to find the action.

and I thought since in pandemic time people can't work in real life, so they would finally 100% fully commit to working in NA, because RvR is not meant to be enjoyable, it's a full-time job, so we can prevent exploits that admin is really scared of
Damn scary exploits, but no cooldown on PBs is fine, what possibly could go wrong. Help players burn out even faster from RvR, ay.
We actually discussed this interestingly enough.
You'd think with all these people not working, there would be more people to play - we actually found majority of us are "Essential" so it turned out not to be a change....
I suppose that's a good thing?

Was enjoyable while it lasted.
Many fun content was had, but now it's time to rest 😴.

voted yes to surrender and no to escape.
but generally I am in agreement with others - I would remove it.

the next time a nation flips a port I want to flip and fails to capture it, I too will complain.

Connecticut has a toilet paper shortage right now... yeah, don't really know how to feel about that, hah.
Another Connecticut(ian?) here. My school closed indefinitely today... no gatherings of over 100 people, either.
The US is definitely not ready, though people are starting to take things more seriously.
My friends in the medical field inform me that there is still a serious shortage in respirators and other critical hospital equipment that will begin to show itself when more cases start coming in... the CDC's decisions about testing kits and testing requirements also baffle me. But, things could certainly be worse. My best wishes to everyone in China, Iran, South Korea, Italy, and other countries in similar emergency situations!
Yep, Fairfield county, Norwalk area. thankfully stocked up on paper towels and toilet paper beforehand *whew.*

I've said it in other threads.
I'd honestly be happy to change port bonuses as they are now - to crafting/resource bonuses to allow for more interesting "ship trim" options in crafting. I'd love to craft ships with 'redoutable refit' or something - but you can only get those refits through captured ai ships.
that being said, since the port points change (where the devs increased them overall) It hasn't nearly been as bad an issue as before, and since DLCs get port bonuses (albiet at random) as well as choosing seasoned wood without cost I don't see much of a reason to complain anymore.
There are many things I would like to change in Naval Action, but this one isn't high on the list.
There are actually really a lot of 50 point ports now that are super solid crafting bases and many of these ports are not all defended to the utmost degree. definitely recommend groups considering the need for crafting to goo out and explore!

Connecticut has partially shut down, and the state government has been shown to be ill prepared for this pandemic. Granted I don't think many states in the US are "ready" but responses from a few states have certainly been faster and more efficient in their resources.
Every school in a 25 mile radius from where I live is closed until mid/late April (and the universities/colleges have gone into 'online only or closed' for the rest of the semester), multiple companies have decided to have all their employees work from home. the commute to work today was empty...no traffic. Work is allowing folks to work from home for a set period but "encouraged" everyone to keep going to work. which is why I'm here on the Naval Action forums instead!

I can't believe it's still going. the amount of salt spitting is absolute nonsense now. time for folks to stfu and fight in battles.
I'd like to actually hear about the following wars:
Pirates vs US
GB vs Prussia
France vs US incursion-

there is no other ship in the game that has a worse waterline than the Pavel and Victory for...........no apparent reason?
fix the waterline leak and you would fix the majority of the issues with those ships. (the next issue would definitely be BR though)

we didn't see this coming /s
but in all seriousness this is a problem. I just wish we could purchase flags like in the old days instead.
