Or perhaps devs can create scripts or checks to stop treasure spawning near foundations? And if people foundation spam then no treasure for their island.

Not if your overweight so how does one get all their gold out without being over weight?

Yea im curious to this, im guessing they couldn't work it out in time and got told to just release it.

No one said a solo player should claim a large island, but what we see if the large groups taking the small island as it takes less gold and upkeep plus the smaller groups that could take the larger islands don't due to the cost. Basically people grab land to deny others land its so stupid. What we really need is instanced freeports where people live and the islands are for treasure hunting/resource hunting. Pvp people can hunt traders on he sea or treasure hunters, while you can have people hunt those pirates instead of base raiding.

Yea unless half the island is foundation spammed.

The old system was fine all they had to do was limit the number of flags a company could put down. And i mean really limit like 2-3 as you do not need an entire island for a 5 man group.

All the small islands all ready gone, so so much for solo players being able to do anything.

Well all i know is pve is ment to have an upkeep building which i think the bank was to be that building so really to have a bank you needed a claim. Maybe they can set some islands to solo or small groups only while others can be set for the larger clans this stops the large clans taking the small stuff.

Why should a solo player be forced onto lawless or have to pay someone to live on an island?

Thought PvE servers had no claims, so we needed to use the bank as a way to stop decay on our buildings, kinda like rust i guess. This does not bode well at all.

Well this is a easy fix by adding in zones where structures can not be placed, Hell Ark has this feature with caves that have the boss parts in them.

Honestly i think its ok, things should have a 1 day auto destroy timer to allow newer players to get started build their first ship and go without cluttering the place up. When i say 1 day auto destory i mean when timer runs out the stuff just breaks doesnt need a player to do it.

Honestly even 30% if to high, its free mats your getting which encourages people just to be lazy and get others to do work for them, if they don't then they rule with an iron fist, not the kinda game play we should have promoted. 15% id say is the max and make it so the Clan needs to upgrade clan perks to unlock higher taxes.

I never understood why a Galleon with all speed sails was much faster then a Sloop, the Sloop should be the fastest ship in the game but i feel Atlas dont bother to factor in ship displacement and therefore friction with water is never taken into account and hence the Galleon is the fastest ship in the game in the right configure.

Maybe they could add a repair all function to the podium when in anchor only, you do a little mini game and it repairs all the non planks while the crew repairs planks.

What they need to do is a system like Ark, different boss levels for better rewards and loot, so basic stuff its easy to obtain like a sub but something like top end blueprints are done on the ultra hard bosses.

Not everyone can play or spend 6-7 hours sailing around doing maps all day everyday.

The book shelf should increase map life but it doesn't so no point it being so high up in the tree.

OK so i built a Ramshackle sloop to go to a powerstone island and ran into a Ship of the dammed, with full wind behind me i could not out run it. Now i feel that the 2 small sails should be changed for a single medium sail, this also helps a new player control sails better since running to man 2 sails at once is a real problem if in combat or a storm. Would also help people out run a Ship of the dammed if caught.

Please allow the use of Rotten meat, this is possible in Dark and light so i do not understand why you can not copy the code system to allow rotten meat, maybe add a new item that works the same way but is made with rotten meat. Just seems like such a pain in the butt waiting for animals to poop then me making lots of rotten meat to use. Maybe have say 10 rotten meat for a Large bag. Also is it possible to add a composting bin like from Ark that stores animal poop, maybe even auto picks it out from the ground?

Playing on a private server should not be a solution to avoid easy to fix exploits. I made a suggestion which would avoid this issue.

Cant man mortars with AI, Large cannons cant turn but have the range and mediums don't have the range really.

I am suggesting that on PVE ONLY (before any one complains about pvp and abuse) That ships are not aggro'd by ships of the dammed or whales while no player is active on the ship this helps with issues like the DC issue that stop lots of players logging in losing ships that they was sailing. This also should go to Anchored ships but they get the take no damage from Storms buff but only on Anchored ships. This would also prevent the Griefing people are doing by bringing Ships of the dammed into players ports and sinking their ships.

I just accepted my ship with my haul on it that i just been sailing for 9 hours is now gone...

Beef i have is they ditched Dark and light for this game, which turned out to be ok with the ship stuff but worse overall..if they just put more effort into Dark and Light then this i think that would made a better MMO.
