Then someone could build a whole box around your base with giant gates and lock you out

Assuming you are talking about the islands that can’t be claimed a good solution would be, once you place a foundation you can only have a reasonable amount of space to build, similar to a land claim but mabe smaller and that’s it you can NOT build anywhere else on that island. You can however build something on a diffrent island if you'd like but the same rules apply. also only 1 shipyard per “server area” whatever there called so for instance if I wanted to build a shipyard in g5 I can’t build any other shipyard on g5. And big gates should only be allowed on land claims There is no reason to have big gates on unclaimable islands in the first place. One last thing REGON LOCK CHINA!

Mabe if there was a npc that can simply hold you’re ship for you for a price. log back in and recall you’re ship from the npc. but they could only hold smaller ships like rafts, schooners, and sloops it would be good for newer players and smaller company’s while larger company’s and high level players are forced to leave there big ships out
