Invincibility in Ship PvP

[mlratto]

maybe move the distance that out that an enemy boat can be from the spawning island. but doing that wouldn't prevent boats from shooting lighting from a distance but would give you a bit more of a chance getting out of port.

Or the other thought would be to randomly respawn somewhere in the SvS arena. But over time we would figure out the spawning spots and camp there. lol

soooo...not sure how to fix this part of the game.

the other thing i noticed is that once the arena was essentially "cleared out" of enemy ships, due to camping, no other enemy boats came out to play.

In first person shooters, it was etiquette that stopped people from camping.

Its a wimpy tactic and shows no real strength or strategic wisdom at all.

If a ship sits still for more than 2 mins (without battling) and within a certain parameter of where enemy ships spawn, it should autosink and be done with its bounty for using cheap wimpy tactics.

There are lots of ways to solve it. It should start by educating and improving the etiquette/morals of those playing.

Umm, if they camp just sink them. Sorry but no rocket science here. Lets see, three war frigates sitting right on top of spawn on Island. Now three sitting at the bottom of the sea, and shield is still up?
All of a sudden quite a bit of room at the spawn in area, hmm.

I see no problems really in this area, but I understand it from a lower level perspective.

As for etiquette, just not seeing it. Haven't seen it while others jumped critters, didn't see it when others raced up to the boat you just shot sails off of. Am seeing it, when the small sloop comes in, and everything turns away?

My view is, if some are so glory seeking to try to camp on the spawn spot, fare game to learn them, to stay back or you will get several rounds of Fury and sink. Then might move the ship.

OK some hints there. Last thing I would say, is practice your canon, a few holes in the sails does little.
