Yes, I was about to join this former 4th rate PB in a santi, until we noticed how low the BR was. it is now a quantity vs quality type of PB.

At least it tells you when ya can't join.

US players did not push for a server split. Most of us then wanted pretty much the same as we want now. One global server. What most people like to forget was that night flips were a direct result of an EU based nation breaking a truce agreement and then trying to flip 3 ports on us at roughly the same time during the day. Luckily the attacks were unsuccessful. Night flips were our only way to hit back and as they say....we went to the mattresses. Whats funny is that night flips did not significantly impact the status of the ports. Everyone who said they quit, came back and right at the end there before the wipe happened majority of the US ports were taken by day flips in retaliation. Every single port that was taken at night (which was not that many) was taken back during the day and then some. Furthermore the ports have since been wiped multiple times. The game is in alpha, who gives a shit about the ports.

and sometimes you get that one dummy that tags you in the safe zones https://gyazo.com/8b02d5e56b06b6548151584fd6169371

If we're limiting chain, repairs also need to be limited.

I remember when Shelby and the Seabots used to be good...... I kid I kid

Safe zones are fine and well intentioned....and frankly long over due. The problem is that folks never have to leave them. Solutions - Limit crafting inside safe zones and the capital. Maybe you can only build up to a lvl 2 shipyard there. I can see potential issues down the line with this, so perhaps each nation has a Safe zone by their capital that cannot have lvl 2s and then their other area that cannot be captured has the ability to create a lvl 3 but loses the safe zone. For example, Brits have KPR and Belize. KPR has the safe zone for noobs, but restricts what you craft. Belize does not have the safe zone but doesn't have restrictions on shipyards and still cannot be captured. This would create a "rookie zone" and a "hardcore zone" within each nation. Also making sure that each safe zone of ports does not have all the wood types necessary to make ships. Basically all they have is fir and oak. If you want white oak, teak or live oak you gotta go outside the zones.

yawn....... Another safe zone pirate alt cheat upset that he can't club all the seals he wants....but yet his actions in game prove exactly why the safe zones are needed. Nothing to see here...move along.

you forgot to put in exploiter.

Sounds like someone is trying to justify exploiting the use of alts. Much shame.

We could, but why should we? Why should we play the game how you want us to play it? You expect others to play Naval Action exactly how you play the game and then get upset and make forum posts whining about it. BLACK and VCO know that the best way to beat King of Crowns is to just let you rant for a couple of days and then quit. Then we go back to having normal/fun pvp where we don't have to fight 3 other nations at once. By all means....keep playing the game as you see fit. Just don't expect others to. Anyway, I'm done trying to rationalize your cheating. See you in a couple months.

And let's be frank here KoC, what you do can't really be called PVP. It's just ganking. You roll around with 10+ people on average every night from 3-4 different nations and cruise around the pirate areas looking for lone ships sailing around and mercilessly gank them. Once a decent sized force comes out that can challenge you...off your fleet runs to la tort or wherever. You've done this all over the map for months now. You tag players from other nations and hide in battle using the speed boost to catch up and join fights that your one or 2 person bait group sets. You've now even resorted to using pirate alts to tag inside the safe zones and create outlaw battles. There is no skill involved in rolling around with 10% of the server's population just to kill 1 or 2 people. The best part is you'll shit talk to them the entire time while you have 10 wasa's out there fighting a lone frigate you caught coming back from a mission. This is griefing and is exactly the type of behavior the safe zones prevents against and it's purpose in the game is necessary to keep folks playing it. One concept you never seemed to be able to grasp is that wolves need sheep. To keep the sheep happy they need a space to get nice and fat. You will over hunt an area, grief anyone around it and then whine on the forums that there is nothing to do in game and then just quit for 2 months. If you want meaningful PVP, ditch the 10 other players from multiple different nations that call you daddy and hunt more than 1 nation of players on a server that barely cracks 150 people every night. There's plenty of folks out there that are willing to go out and PVP nightly, including myself, but when you bring a huge gang bang fleet and then find nothing......stop bitching about it on the forums. No one wants to fight your little band of followers. Adapt or we'll see you in 2 months from now when quit out of boredom in the next couple of days. The problem in this situation is how you play. Not the safe zones.

As you know my clan didn't setup in the safe zone.

If the pirate jumps into the mission will that person be able to call in reinforcements?

I believe these 2 comments by King of Crowns is about as much of an admission of guilt as you need that an alt was used to circumvent safe zone mechanics. @admin & @Ink is this type of abuse deemed acceptable?

Or you could “maybe” keep using an alt like you did last night to avoid the safe spaces. Shameful to see an acclaimed PVPer sink to such lows to sink a Prince.

Time for a new alt. Think “therealdonaldtrump” is too long?

Let's just be clear here, I have no issue with the outlaw battle mechanic. Perhaps it shouldn't be allowed in ANY restricted zone. Pirates can't go into US waters and tag each other, Pirates can't tag each other in their zone. I have an issue with a blatant alt being used to circumvent safe zones by a PVP group. Not asking for a mechanics change here. Appreciate if we could stay on the topic with the post and push mechanics changes to a different thread.

Easiest fix would indeed be no outlaw battles inside the reinforcement zones. I think the change to pirate mechanics would be welcomed and long desired, but I'd appreciate it if we could get a rule from up on high about the potential alt abuse that might of happened here. This doesn't look like a neutral or "hired" regular player to me.

I’m slowly teaching them the ways of the night flip.

I’m ok with a real player who has an axe to grind and wants to get a little payback. Live by the sword, die by the sword. I doubt that’s the case here. Regardless of the outcome It’s blatantly obvious that this isn’t a real player. It’s dissapointing seeing good PVP players using these methods or running in escort with players who use them. not a good look for the man without sin.

One might add that at least they used to be able to say they had the most “feared” fleet on the server. I think Spain’s reputation was such that the nicest thing you could say about them was... “Sometimes they show up”. I enjoyed the PB . We lost Life goes on

my goodness.....I didn't get to see either of them happen. that first one is just so beautiful
