Another type of Free-for-All Port

[Anolytic]

I suggest adding a 2nd type of Free-for-all port that the owner can select. This option would allow other nations to take Hostility Missions to adjacent ports from said port.

This would be useful for a couple of reasons:

• Allowing a nation/clan that you are collaborating with to use the port to move through your territory and attack the territory of a common enemy.
• Inviting a foreign clan to attack a port owned by another clan in your nation. Either simply to sabotage this clan, or because you wish to engineer a takeover of the port in question.

It is an option that only the Pirate nation would be able to utilise such ports, and that this way mercenary clans within Pirates could be hired to help impact disputes between clans within the same nation.

This mechanic would only really be worth to consider presuming that some other changes (discussed in other topics) were first done to the current Frontlines and County Conquest system.

This would be useful for all nations, not just pirates. For example if I wanted to buy Port au Prince from the British they could just open up Les Cays and I could take it. With the current system pirates would have to work through three counties to get there, and it would not be worth the hassle no matter the price. Or a better example may be a nation inviting another nation past their front lines to help with screening/defense, and letting them capture a port as a base of operations. Of course it would be a risk, however I feel like some nations could work well together.

Wouldn't this just encourage clans of alts to grief their own faction?

Edited.  While the question is valid, please do not frame it an an accusatory manner.  -Powderhorn

nope, this mechanic will destroy balance in the server. 

let's assume there are 100 skilled player , split in 2 nation A50-B50. then, for some reason, 25 of nation A switch to nation C...so now we have 25 vs 50 + 25. but 25 still own all the port they took when they was 50 and the only protection they have is frontlines. if you let 2 nation do what you suggested , all balance of the game will drop...and we have situation as it is now.

russian is the all-man nation that no one can stop, due to numbers of skilled player coming from all nation and joining all the same nation. so we have Skilled Nation VS Server noob.

with the akward new port-bonuses....

it's matter of time until all the playerbase quit the game.
