There already ARE set limits on where your ship can go in SvS. You can run and hide anywhere in the Caribbean. Seems like a sensible rule for pirates to adhere to.
I'm disappointed that I can hit an enemy ship, doing 99% damage to them, then they can cowardly drop anchor (or log out) anywhere they like, stealing the bounty from the match. It would be "better" if they forfeited their bounty (proportionally to each enemy that damaged them) when they land somewhere other than their base island.
Regarding the original post, the only complaint that seems valid to me, is the "spies" issue. In the context of SvS as Disney has created it, simply using "spies" is not so bad. But using "saboteurs" is evil. Boarding a high-bounty enemy ship and lag-bombing them, shooting NPC ships, camping on favored cannons and stealing wheel during repairs, should not be part of the game. Simply "spying" would be ok, but the vicious acts of sabotage would not be tolerated by real pirates. Those scurvy scallywags would walk the plank in a heartbeat. It is unclear if the original poster meant saboteurs or spies. Spying adds a pleasant level of complexity to the game; sabotage ruins the game for everyone (because Disney left out the very, very, very, very, very critical mechanism, for making those evil thugs walk the plank.)
Just think for a moment, what SvS would be like, if they had a walk-the-plank capability. Captains like me, too quick to use WTP, would engender very few pirates willing to come aboard. On the other hand, popular captains would avoid using WTP unless a clear majority on board wanted an individual off (and therefore, would attract many more people to board their ship.)
And man, I'd love to see the sharks eat some of those saboteurs. Come to think of it, if they add it, I'd love to be the first one to walk the plank, just to see the sharks (who cares if I go to jail and get groggy.)
The only problem I can see, with them implementing it, is that it would have to be the boat OWNER'S perogitive. Otherwise, wheel-stealers would be an even greater problem. But don't get me started on the lack of a WHEEL permission thing - that is quite possibly the most sinister defect of POTCO, as it is now.
Back to the original post, I tihnk others have echoed my sentiments: most of those complaints seem invalid. Perhaps the OP just had a bad day.
