Shroud is a gank fest, but honestly they should make that a Neutral town like the old PITTS was and give it's own green zone around it since it's the starting point for a few of the nations.   As for 7th rate PvP event maybe we could bring in a rookie zone that only allows PvP in 7th rate shisp and that zone is 24/7.   Remember the old Shallow PvP Zone that was sough of the Gearge Town, east of Deadmans area?  That would make a great area for a 24/7 rookie PvP zone. 

They can still do the damage for marks thing, but I think a cosmetic reward would be better or maybe give them a random note for a H.Rattler, Prince, or Niagara after so many kills or damage done.  This will help new players get into a bigger new ship.

  Everybody wants newer players to  engage in more PvP so why not introduce a 7th rate patrol mission where BR limit per battle is say 5 ships per side and rating of ships entering patrol battles limited to 7th only.   If 6th rates fight also in area make default to a normal battle.

Make it really close to a freetown behind Shroud Cay perhaps, and have a heap of shop built cheap 7th rates,  and fast spawning reasonable priced repairs (which is why i suggested behind Shroud).

I think would be a lot of fun and something that is definitely non dlc/uber rated ships, essentially good for newer players and older ones wanting some fun battles. Would also encourage newer players to get involved as is cheap and fun, without possibility of being outclassed to heavily with higher rate ships.

No point introducing new patrol mission, untill the "gank issue" isn`t solved. Nassau patrol is unfortunately best example for it...Small ships, lots of fun, low costs if you lose, but hey, who likes to fight alone vs 6 enemies.?

No thanks.

No, swap shroud with mortimer, give pirates their hardcore status back and let the new nations have their protected zone at mortimer

How long is a new player in a 7th rate? 4-6 hours game time at most? Why spend resources on that? The greatest place for new people to learn PvP was the Nassau patrol zone before the DLC ships ruined it. Kick those two ships out of the shallows and problem solved.
