Gregory Rainsborough Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 You know them, you loathe them, you've been one, and so has everyone. I suggest putting a timer on ships re-entering port once they've left, and which is longer than the attack timer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serk Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 For what purpose? I'll just use a basic cutter first to find out what is going on outside a port before leaving. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadpiraterobertzzz Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I think most of us hate dock campers more than dock hoppers. There's no logical justification for what you're suggesting - in any real world setting it would be absurd for an enemy ship to camp inside harbor and not be noticed until after someone had somehow untied from the dock and rendered themselves unable to return to safety. It just doesn't make sense. If ANY change to the tagging near docks mechanic should be made, it's extending something like the capital zone protections to all owned ports - there should be a small area where tagging is impossible and/or battles should remain open indefinitely within the port's immediate area. Good luck convincing anyone that YOU need more help trolling newbs in trader brigs. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Hunt your trader brigs out in the open world with the rest of them Greg, stop asking the devs to further empower your dock humping. Bad dog! *sprays hose on little snow* ^ Trader Brig 5 seconds out of dock^ ^Greg " Rawrrrrrr! I'm gonna get ya" Edited September 8, 2019 by Atreides 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raekur Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Now this is down right comical, some raider is complaining that he cant camp outside of a port and rape any traders that undock because they hope back into port. Seriously Greg, is your need to club something that is far weaker so important to your ego that you have to request that the developers add something to assist you. Wow, just wow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macjimm Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I hope this suggestion is not implimented. It seems very extreme. Like being forced out of port in a random ship on a timer to prevent players from waiting in port too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liq Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I see it being annoying at times yeah, but also this will just enhance the gank squads camping free ports So I'd rather stay a dockhopper 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Farseer Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Gonna have to contest you there Greg^^ I know it's annoying having three Hermiones a Requin and a Rättvissan sit on the docks, contineously hopping in and out just because there is a lone Aggy in the area. But the price this would make people pay is a little too much IMO. Especially around free ports. Will for the most part make things even more gankey... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquillas Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 LOL! Please remove any kind of protection for new players in capital areas. We have too many of these in game. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
contact Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’m a noobie. So I am gradually building up my XP by various means. Trading, delivering cargo and passages. Some engagements. Plenty of improvement required. Not of course helped by the low ranking of ship I can at present use in combat. But I am happy to stand and fight on occasions. Even if it’s for a short time. If I start to get to shot up, I will try to run. But I still get XP points for fighting. I have been in Port. Looking to come out and deliver two lots of cargo. Two lots of passengers. So I always click on leave Port. But before set sails. I have a good look round to see no gankers hanging around. If so, why would I look to leave the Port. Common sense says to wait ! Sorry if gankers don’t like this. I can assure them. Once I have more XP, larger frigate I will be happy to engage them. Bring it on ! Sometimes, I will also check out an area around the Port before leaving by using a cutter. Leave the safety of the Port knowing I will only lose a cutter if enemies around. Surly this is all part of NA. If your a big boy I would expect you to use your strengths. I’m not at that stage yet so have to use my wits to raise to a higher level. I personally have no problem with gankers. It’s an open world after all. Made of up all sorts of people. At the moment I am, even if I say so myself becoming good at sailing, using my wits and the wind direction to get to where I want to go and to survive. I’m sure this will come in useful as I move up the ranks. Those playing NA have the own preference on how and what they do for enjoyment. See nothing wrong with that. Cheers all 🍻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
