You do know that before the change the timer was at 48 hours for everyone, no matter the size of your company?
You mean you tried to claim more land after they fixed the flag timers or before that?
The first change was totally dumb, I bet a lot of people lost their bases cause they werent online for 2 days. To base it on the ammount of flags makes more sense.
If you are at 4 days now, it sounds reasonable to me. In lawless sectors you also dont get more time to be inactive.
