Shallow Water Hostility

[Gregory Rainsborough]

I believe it's still possible to flip shallow ports in deep water ships.

This should be replaced with a system which allows ports only to be flipped by shallow water ships but ONLY shallow water ships can join the hostility missions to prevent them.

why greg? Just take a requin and capture the deep water ships. 

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Ewwww, I use the Herc, much better than the Req and less broken.

[Fenris]

Lol..State of NA= Asking over and over again for same things.

Says a lot about the game.

[Christendom]

But but using a herc is sinking at 5th rate and shouldn’t be allowed...

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Not using a Herc, I mean 6th rates and below only. Requin should be banned from it and PBs as well but hey ho.

umm

[Gregory Rainsborough]

I use the Herc for raiding, I'm just saying you shouldn't be able to use it for hostility missions for shallow ports. Same with Req.

[Gregory Rainsborough]

Hachi you know they changed the hostility missions?

[Sir Texas Sir]

So you want more PvE for folks to do boring grinding than before.  Shallow waters take for ever to grind out if you do it with shallow water ships only....I mean for ever.  Don't take ports you don't have deep water ships close to protect than?  Worried about off hour flips?  Put timers on (which I agree cost is broken with return cause of tax's).   Other wise what is the point of owning a port you can't defend, than you deserve to loose the port.

[Gregory Rainsborough]

All you have to do is alter the amount of hostility points per ship sunk to make it more bearable.

No. This is dumb.

[Tom Farseer]

While I agree with Greg on the basic problem, the proposed mechanic could easily be exploited. Just bring a few fast frigates (e.g. Hercs), sit in a circle around the hostility mission and wait for the poor fuckers to leave. Tag'em in OW and sink'em.

only solution to make hostility fair is to do away with hostility.  bring back flags

No.

If Flags, then only to initiate raids.

And they should cost a lot, 500 CM, for example, to avoid abuse.

That`s not dumb. @Gregory Rainsborough is right.

Rising hostility for a shallow port in deep water, with deep water ships is dumb.
