Does ship quality bonus chance still apply in neutral ports?

[Ahoy H.R. Matey]

A while ago it was made so that if an shipyard is built in a neutral port, it has a higher chance of turning out a better quality ship.

Does this still apply? I still don't have a shipyard since the last wipe and want to build one, but would like to know before I rebuild it.

I think it is the complete opposite. Last I checked capital ports and free towns do not increase chances for features like very cramped, agile, etc.

I believe he's talking about on PvE server since they can't capture ports they made all neutral ports over there act as if captured for crafting.   People really should mention what server they are  on cause if he's on PvP than the answer is no a clan has to own a port for it to get the cracting RNG bonus.

Yeah yeah. PvE pea

Yeah yeah. PvE peasant 4 life. So on PvE then the neutral ports DO boost the crafting bonus chance?

So open ports in PVP will still have the bonus. Just not free towns

I can't find the post but I believe I remember @admin saying for ya'll it's the neutral ports on PvE server gives the bonus.  To be honest I built stuff on both a Nation owned port in the Starter zone of US and clanned owned and gout about he same drops for rareity on each ports, but RNG hates me.

No on PvP server to get the bonus it has to be a clan owned port.  They can have it open to all though and you can craft

The API has a Variable for Ports which is called: ImprovedCraftChance. It is set to TRUE even for neutral ports. 

 

@admin It seems you forgot to change that one to TRUE for the ex safezoneports (state API from 29.02)

May I correct something here: the bonus is not applied to "neutral" ports in the meaning they don't belong to a nation, but to all minor non-national ports.

The capture/recapture/ownership thing is not relevant.

It just has to be a port which is not one of the national ones which cannot be conquered, and it is no free town either.

So figure what is left on the map which fits that description. What flag it flies at the moment does not matter.

No matter if PvE Peace Server or PvP War Server.
