How is this still a thing.
Started playing again yesterday since launch. How are people still able to hoard animals in the freeport?! There was a company (Uganda) had hundreds of tamed animals in the freeport with a lvl 1 (probably a bot) running around making sure they didn't lose claim. It just made the initial game experience horrible due to frame rate drops and just the fact I couldn't even run around without getting stuck on them. Devs if you see this, it was on The Krakens Grasp server north east section of the map.
No, here's the real fix.
Get rid of island ownership.
Bring back claim flags, but in limited numbers. Create two home port flags, one for land, and one for a harbor. Through balance testing, determine how big these need to be for companies of 75 people to build a reasonable sized base, and reasonable harbor.
Anything inside those land claims, are invulnerable. Green anchored ships are invulnerable inside the harbor claim.
Create smaller claim flags for outpos
