Did something change since last patch? I had no problems finding a safe-spot a few days ago.

I personally think the new changes to the company and alliance limit is a welcome and much needed change. The only downside is that the 4 company limit to alliance will force smaller companies to merge. I think that a significant portion of the playerbase don't want to merge into a larger company, me included. A possible solution could be to make the alliance limit work like the sails limit on ships. An alliance could only hold a certain 'company points'. A company is worth a certain amount of point based on the company size. The company size is fixed and can be increased by buying an 'upgrade certificate' at a freeport. For instance: your company starts with an ten player slot 'certificate' and is worth 0.1 alliance points. If you want to recruit more players, you have to buy a bigger player slot certificate, which will increase the alliance points of your company. You can't buy a bigger certificate if the alliance you are in is already at her max company points. This way you can allow more than 4 small companies to form an alliance and prevent mega alliances. What do you think?

Yeah, Pig would be more realistic! Make the Pig get a bonus amount of potatoes as well. I was thinking of the Ostrich because in animated kids movies the Ostrich always buries there head in the sand, lol.

Make the Ostrich act as a shovel!

Oke, hear me out. The drag/slow down of a ship is based on the percentage of the cargo weight vs the total weight of the ship, right? What if they changed this so that the percentage is calculated of the base weight of the ship instead of the total weight. Let Weight Sails increase the total weight but not the base weight. This will result in 1100 weight free of drag/slowdown per large Weight Sail. Leveling in weight can still increase the base weight. What do you think?
