Prolific Forger on PvE-server

[JVS]

On PvE almost all ports used to be neutral. Now almost all ports are owned by a nation, but we can have outpost in any port. Even "enemy" capitals. This change was not reflected in the DLC Prolific Forger.

I'm with Britain and wanna change to Pirates. I already have outposts with my buildings in Mortimer, Baracoa (spanish) and Saint-Nicolas (french).
After buying the DLC yesterday I realized I now have to abandon these outpost just to re-open them again in the exact same ports after the swap. Meaning I lose my shipyard and all buildings, for no reason really.

On the PvP server I had built outposts in the British ports, that were then captured by enemy.   I kept those outposts and could use the warehouses and docks in those enemy ports.

After I bought the Pro Forger I learned that I had to give up all my outposts to change nation.

So I've never used the DLC.  If I'd known how it worked I'd not purchased it.

Wish I could change nation, keep my outposts, and change back after a month.

Captain, unfortunately this is the mechanic to change nation which is created to work on all servers and have maximum security from potential mistakes for players.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
