not sure on the exact math per flag, but seems 4 hours is 1 flag, once you hit 100 flags its 15mins

As post says, my personal feelings, and  I could be wrong as  a whole  here but most people  ive  spoken  with agree, the  current meta  of stacking  high damage %  BP heavy cannons   on a ship mainly  front and back  is killing  the fun in the naval fights  for  me,  when I  saw ATLAS I hope for some  real  naval broadside  to  broadside action, people  committing to  fights and  may  the  best man win style, but  what we  have  ended  up with  seems  to  be  completely  different.  Most  people  are stacking heavys front  and  back (sometimes  side  too) the  idea being rear heavys  allow you perfect ability to  fight  but  also  disengage at  will, and  front  heavys great for  chasing down  and  breaking  sails,  as  good as  that setup  is  what  im finding is  this,  you  engage for a battle, both  ships  are the same setup, what  then happens  is both  ships spend  45mins sailing towards eachother then turning to allow the large amount of rear cannons to fire and never actually getting anywhere, or 1 ship wants to engage and the other will just kite forever with the rear battery. I personally would like to see heavy cannons removed from boats, or restricted to galleon size only, or at very least a much bigger penalty for having them mounted on a smaller ship, much higher weight when mounted on a ship increasing the smaller the ship is would work good.

How does everyone else feel about the current meta for naval battles?

EU PVP -  its  in  polar  region,  for  obvious  reasons  I  will  not  reveal company  info on  the forums

That is the exact reason why the population is dying and it all comes back to the ridiculous land claim system.

The land  claim system protects  you from  this  happening,  not  sure  why  it  would  kill off  the population,  unless  of  course  your stuck  in lawless  with  nowhere  to  go, in  which  case  you  just need somebody that  has  surplus land  available.

On a  side  note, if  anyone  is  looking  for land on  EU  PVP  drop me  a PM  I can fix  you  up

Sick  of  being wiped on lawless  islands? just want a new home maybe?  we  have land available in  polar region to  company's  of  5  or  more members.

We are also recruiting  for our company as well, maybe  your a smaller group looking  to jump into something  bigger?

Whatever  your looking for, drop me  a  PM  I  can probably  help.

Anyone can rock up ANYWHERE on a lawless island, place a mortar  and just  obliterate you  while  you  sleep without  having to take  a claim, personally I  wouldn't  even consider living  in  lawless

Land Available to good settlers, no charge, tax rate set at 30% outside of your own claims, max 4 flags per company
