I returned after release and found the game pretty good.

But also destroyed by the latest patch where super-fleets engage you without any chance of escape. Meaning that its unplayable once again. 

 

Its hard to play Naval Action like this.

I play almost every day for a few hours. Almost every day I have a few PVP battles. I never go to the PVP zones.

And yet I’ve never even seen one of the super privateer fleets. Obviously we can attempt to choose our own play style but perhaps you’re sailing in the wrong place.

I kind of build something up - but lost a lot due to those super fleet. Its a game breaker. They spot you, and then catch u. You cant avoid them if they target you. They are SUPER fast. Once tagged, you face something like 4 x1st rates and 7 other ships all firing at you at once. I lost my ships before the 2 min timer ran out. Meaning that if you get target by the privateer fleet - its gg no matter what you do. I was sailing around Sandy Hill and Hat Island. Those are dansih ports and being a dane it shouldnt be unusual to do so for me.

Can't we all just be happy if there's 900 players instead of 600? Even if they are alts or some of them are. It at the very least means old players are even more active. There's no real negative. 

I can only heart you're post once I wish I could heart it many times

Its not the key at all.
Month or two is PERFECT for me. If a player stays longer awesome, if a player leaves in 2 weeks its totally fine too. 

 

pues este es el nivel ¡¡¡¡

 

because this is the level ¡¡¡¡

Those are border towns, it is not unreasonable to expect enemy patrols in such places. Also, it is possible to position yourself better when tagged, even with these fleets. Did you see them coming or were you taken by surprise?  I have lost an Ocean to being tagged more or less solo by such a fleet. My poor spawning location was entirely because I was bare-sticks thinking I was at a safe distance, and not properly on lookout.  Their OW speed is not reflected in the actual battle.

Sometimes I think the Devs have changed the game because players have complained.   I hope that the Privateer Fleets remain.  Seems like they work well, and we have a little security close to our own national trade centers.

Players who are hunting Privateer Fleets can find them easily, but they can be also be avoided. (Stay clear of Foreign Capitals).

A port's "AI Defence Fleet" should be overwhelming and deadly to a solo player.  I know players who team up and hunt them, so they can be sunk.  When they are defeated the rewards are healthy.

Sounds like the Devs have created a Defence Fleet sweet spot.  Hope they don't cave to pressure and change it.
