Cap of Ships?

[Admiral Nelson]

So... Is there any max amounts of ships a player can go to?

I think, if theres a cap on turns - There should be on ships or at least Ships out of a fleet.

Just curious, but why would it matter how many ships a player had, in or out of fleet : the existing limiter is cost of officers : to my mind a player with 1300 ships out of fleet is just more variety to choose from with your commandeers, or ravages.

Agreed

With the good old 600 turn capitals ;Fact is,all these ships are level ones and twos... Very few are commandeer worthy.

Fame Plunder Strategy? The more ships one owns the lower the fame plunder when they lose in battle.

Can you explain the negative for someone to have 2000+ ships? Why would you want a cap?

As a pirate, the more ships sailing = more profit. It also helps in zeroing out someones purse to have more targets. I fail to see the issue.

I give up, with life.

Whats the point of plundering such sailing ships and players being zeroed when after, you only have zeroing you have 4 turns left?

This game is going in a bad direction, as Kart said.

I think the fame plunder strategy is a non-starter as an objection : with more than 400 ships, any big trader is already benefiting from the formula : That formula seems much more intended to punish those with fewer ships by inflicting massive fame losses such as over 500k fame on a single hit : so, if its fame you wish to plunder you are looking in the wrong place if you hope to find it with mega-fleet owners, with or without a cap on the number of ships they may own above 400.
