Free Ports?

[Bloody 9]

Something special planned for these?

 

A place for smugglers, pirates and privateers to sell goods and ships?

 

A port for rare materials and BP's?

 

A special crafting hub?

Free ports are ports which cannot be captured and can be accessed by anyone, so they could be trade hubs and such.

Because they cannot be captured, they are often used as the preferred shipyard/home port locations for crafters. You don't have to worry about setting up an outpost there and stockpiling lots of stuff and then losing it if the port is captured.

 

If you are a trader then, its often a good place to come and try to sell your goods. Especially if you can link up directly with a crafter at that location and sell to that person at a specific price rather than to the NPC vendors.

 

If you are looking for a player-made ship to buy, its often a good place to check out what ships are on sale there.
