Fleet ship death march

[Sea Fox]

When a player defeats another player with fleet ships that either needs to be the end of it (he loses them all at once) or he needs to have a long cool down to get the port.

If I take out a guy who has 2 or 3 Fleet ships, I don't keep going until he has nothing. If a player takes out the main ship it's most likely he will easily be able to take out the o

ther ships in 2-3 more battle instances in the open-world when the defending player jumps from ship to ship.

If I'm defeated in my main ship, I'm probably not going to win when I exit into open world and one of my fleetships. Now I have to sit and wait to surrender two or three more times! Waste of time. Stupid mechanic

to be fair,  i mostly use Tbrig with a 5th rte escort. I control the Escortin battle.  after i lost the battle i will run with the Tbrigs. Espasically near the Coast, you will have a good chance of getting into a Port with your Tradeships before youre tagged again. Or the Backup you called from you Clan might be able to reach you in your second battle.

 

i think its a good system

right now, you suffer a small delay if you wish to surrender all your other ships

 

what you suggest is to automatically lose them all ? for everybody ?

I think the system now is good, run indianmen that can somewhat defend themselves (I have sunk many 5th rates in mine) or run a Man of War with them. If you lose, you get a speed boost and invisibility to try and get away. Plus if you can die upwind of your opponent and leave immediately, it just gives you that much more time. 

I also enjoy the salt of catching the same guy one after the other.

My point is if you get jumped by two guys in modded ships , its over.

Maybe have a "surrender all" option where you surrender fleet as well. Your in open sea and if you had retreated them you have to now pop back into open world with less of a ship than your main was , take off, wait for 2-3 guys in endys fly 100 mph upwind , tag you, surrender and this time leave remaining fleet ship in instance so you won't have to do this all over again.

A 100 mph speed cap would be awesome, I'm in!  (Exaggerations rob posts of credibility.)

But seriously if you feel like you're wasting time after the first defeat, then why not log off after that defeat.  They won't sink your others in 2 minutes.

i tend to agree with others above, the system is ok.  But I guess I might be in favor of a long speed boost after defeat to be helpful, and make them search harder for you the 2nd time.  But not a surrender all option.

Probably the best solution would be long speed boost or maybe be a solution. Or I would also be fine with not having a speed boost or invisibility just have say a 2 or 3 minute timer where you cannot be attacked  or  attack

If you surrender in battle and leave immediately (before your fleet ships can retreat) then they will surrender as well and you will lose them all. This mechanic already exists. You only appear on your fleet ship in the OW if you managed to retreat one in the battle. Of course extra help in the battle is half the reason to run a fleet ship to begin with.
