Frontline Town (Low-Tier Ship Transfers)

[Tenet]

Problem: Due to the drop in Durability the Reload time to return to a war zone is too long. Effectively our dock size was reduced by x5 because now we have to store 5 ships for the same effect as before - the result is that people will end up fighting less often in the open world because the recovery time is too great. 

Solution:

I suggest allowing low tier ships, 5th rates and below, to be transferred between Capital and designated Frontline Town, with the following restrictions:

1. Ship Must be a Warship

2. Cargo Must be Empty

3. Travel Time roughly matches required In-Game time, with X hours displayed in prompt. 

4. A Town can only be designated Frontline if it belongs to your Nation and has no PB pending at time of designation. 

Addendum:

Frontline towns should have National Docks that can store 5 extra 5th rate War Ships or below.

Optional: 

Some voting method to move Frontline Town, with a cooldown, between limited options based on distance from Enemy towns. All the ships in National Docks move with the selection and the move requires X hours to complete (same as travel time). 

Each nation should have one such Town at any time (expand later?).
