the thing people have to understand is this.
You dont need a lot of people to capture undefended port. Its Caribbean and you have your own charter. Fuck the king. Just sail to the port you like (especially during important port battle of that nation) and capture it for yourself. If you have a company or a guild work on your guild. No-one can tell you what you can and cannot do. Ignore agreements they make. And take what you need.

he was wrong in his post
the player won't receive marks forever.. as soon as port is challenged he has to arrive to keep the title. If he does not others who defend will take it. Natural flow will replace inactive with active players as a result
You don't have to sail back - because region is now yours after maintenance you teleport back from the outpost leaving the fleet there because you might need it in the future..
World is big and is meant to be big. It takes a week to travel across all border zones in eve for example. their 100,000 players are happy about it.
We both know that your 20 battle statement is an exaggeration. You can reach gulf in anything if you don't park near mortimer or port royal on the way.
PvP marks are a great compensation if they sink someone. If they have a different role fleet commanders should compensate them with money ships cannons or whatever is required.
Nation can have 3 port battles per day currently. If you know you won't get space (someone for some reason decides that you can't get in) - just get your own port battle and have your own home region.
It is not possible to contest all areas. It is also not possible to defend them. No-one fights in the gulf because there was no point to do that before. There is now. Those 5 regions provide options to build 5 first rates per day (permit prices might change).
You base your statement on 2 nations scenario (so called world peace scenario). There are other nations for whom those useless ports in the gulf are not useless at all and are an excellent source of conquest marks.
you again don't understand))
control!!! key word
Previously to get 30 marks (you personally as a player) you had to do 10 line ships battles (by flipping or whatever)
In the new system to get 30 marks (you personally as a player) you have to HOLD AND DEFEND THAT PORT FOR 30 DAYS because government sends you 1 mark per day as a pension.
Flips are going to be useless.
The only possible way how what you described could happen is if nations achieve WORLD PEACE and agree to never attack each other EVER again. Which again can be screwed by any rogue clan just by raising hostility and attacking - forcing nation holding that port to come defend
well a good shout from a fleet commander would be - " i need screeners for this PB - payment 2 conquest marks each + all the pvp marks and prize ships you can get"
There is a limited number of conquest marks generated per day. Spain can give away anything they want to whoever they want. The costs of permits (which is currently low) will make sure that nobody will trade ports in the long term. If you want ships of the line you will find regions to control and will to defend them.
