Free ports must drop repairs

[Custard]

I am not sure anything works properly with less than 500 players but you are entitled to your opinion

I repeat my question what ports do you want reps/rum in and what price?

Player production cost with a 1.5-2 markup sold at all freeports, maybe even open-for-all ports. I saw Reverse cry for repairs at Hat Island after being in a scratch with me.

 Good idea to carry repairs to whatever patrol area there is, great idea. May be I thought about it, ah yes I did, long time ago, I must be a genious.

 Yesterday was the Deadman's Cay so I decided to carry few repairs in my lynx (knowing all the risks), few so my snow can do 20k damage. Guess who was waiting for me just out of the port, Vernon Merill and Hetwill the Duke of ... (could not remember the rest) in their privateer or princes, so yes they got my 55 hull/55 rig/ 150 rum, happy for them  These guys do not fight in patrol but camp out of the patrol ports lol, so use some traders to carry repairs. It is just a story, I do not mean anything, yes I will never attack a lynx that is my selection, I prefer to attack Hercs etc.                                                                                                                                                                   

 Main problem the players are selling the goods for crazy prices. Hull : 70 Rig : 60 Rum: 9 reals, so they sell Hull:220 Rig: 200 even sometimes Rum:200   So, this is the main reason why people are complaining. They log in wanna play patrol zone, they do not wanna plan 1 week ahead, do the logistics and wait for that specific patrol, or do it for some of the patrols. You have 8 outposts and dedicating 3-4 outpost for only patrols is a problem for some players.                                             

 There should be a port controlled maximum price for repairs which is around 2x of npc price. You can not set it higher but you can set it lower if you want. That will solve the problems. OR ports can drop repairs and simple ships if there exits none, where a check is being done every 5-10 minutes. Npc spawns repairs and ships with small amounts. Whoever is so clever to buy them has to wait long time, or even he stocks repairs and ships to sell them high, he will see shop spawning more reps at default price so his efforts are worthless.
