My suggestions regarding green zones

[Anne Wildcat]

I know there are many posts but I just wanted to throw in my suggestion.  Let me know what you think.  Is it exploitable? (as I don't think my suggestions through that much)

 

Just a few suggestions regarding safe zones: for those that want to hop on and casually PVE, make limited (say 2/day) missions that can be taken right from port where there is no chance of enemies joining.  Then if they want to PVE more, they can take regular missions. Add PVP coast guard missions like the patrol missions, where you get points for sinking enemies around your capital. Then, my suggestion would be AI reinforcements for only lower rank players. Still keep open battle in green zones but higher rank players need help from coast guards in missions and attacks on OW.

Increasing the PvP rewards for defending your own green zones would create better quality PVP because there would be an incentive to stick in home waters.

PvP missions that reward you for sinking ships in your own waters I think is a better way to go than the silly PvP zones.  Other games have them where you kill so many players in that zone you get a reward.  Never any thing crazy big, but it's still  a reward for what your all ready doing if your protecting those zones on top of what you get form the battles.   Though missions and content like that is prob more going to come later, we need to get the games mechanics finished and done with.  

POTBS even had missions you can take for each nation and PvP.  Though it was also tied into a reputation system for the rewards you can buy from a vender.

Maybe a "bronze" chest for killing someone in home waters.

PVP missions where you sail around your own territory and sink enemy shipping as you see fit with no limitation?

we'll call them......p a t r o l  m i s s i o n s

or 1.5x the PvP marks and put chests in the PvP rewards store?

Such would indeed be patrol missions - imo better ones than the existing!

Exactly this!

Plus:

The AI of the reinforcements should be reasonably good - clever teamworkers, screening the attacked player, keeping the weather gauge BUT they shouldn‘t be supernatural tanks on lsd / impregnable speedboats!

Imo that would kill the fun and immersion!
