I thought there was going to be a "neutral" setting that we can set with our settlers.  Did I understand this wrong or has it not be implemented yet?

We actually had this happen to us Sunday night.  We were on our island when one of my members called out that our ships were being fired on.  We all ran to our harbor, which unfortunately was outside of our flag radius, and in the fight they must have put down a claim flag.  The popup message was missed because it is only a small alert at the top left of the screen and stays there for about 5-10 seconds.  We were all defending our boats and nobody saw it.  So, within 10 mins they had unclaimed our island and started to claim it.  We were able to get it back but it was way too easy to steal.  We thought we were safe as long as we were on the island, but that is not the case.  I hope NPCs count as someone that can contest (we did have tames in the area).  If not, then you better have your ships near your claim area or always have someone stay within the flag radius.

Our company has lost 5 ships in two days due planks being destroyed.  It doesn't say how or why.  All of these boats were anchored at our claimed territory and were built within the last 24 hours.  All it says in our log is planks were destroyed, then about an hour later it says boat was removed from the company.
