Just remove port battles altogether and make port flips occur by trading and pvp or remove port nationality from mattering at all. No night flips, no time zone issues. Not like it really matters and it always ends up with a nation or two completely outnumbering another and endless complaints about night flips. Concentrate on open sea trade and pvp and let the impossible to balance die.

This is the same unsolvable issue that Pirates of the Burning Sea endured before it inevitably crashed and burned.

You will never balance population distribution and time zones, stop trying.

Leaderboards for wealth, production, kills, captures, etc is where the replayability should lie.

Re: Ship costs would also not be a big problem if we would have higher price difference. 7th rate dirt cheap, 6th rate cheap, 5th rate affordable to lose and still expendable, 4th rate where you start investing more money so they have to be about where they are now. SOLs go up a price progressively when 1st rates are just down right cost arm and leg 5-10 times more expensive. YES abolutely YES

Its like devs are making the game, but every time there is a patch they are not making it fully, to the end. Makes me sad to say..thats true

Now that new rvr mechanics have been implemented and the effects will only show in a few weeks, it's dire time to work on trading. 

I still don't see reasons for clans to hold ports other than for bragging rights. 

Those ports need to get populated by "small players" (meaning casuals, non-clan affiliated, solo privateers) doing their trading, production and refurbishment. 

Otherwise you will just have a map that is littered with warlords sitting on their little patch of land.
