So roughly 10-12 of those ships I can sail at level 50 without being Auto PvP Flagged. My Grape is that if I capture a 4th Rate on the OS! I should be allowed to sail it where ever I want instead of having a target on my back. Pirates are good because they have a good choice of ships, But when you hit lvl 50 you have none. You have 2 Options really. Use a Heavy Herc / Deliverance or go in MC Cutters.

If you took away the invalid ship flag then Pirates would be happier as we would be able to show off are ship captures on the OS instead of just using them in Port Battles or PvE Mission Grinding I For one would like to sit outside Havana, Port Royal and Show off my nice Alexander we just Captured from them instead of jumping into Port.

I captured a Mercy.

I lost it the next day in open sea PvP.

So I captured an Alexander.

Pirate ships aren't for showing, they're for fighting. If you're afraid of losing ships, you should really consider being a Naval Officer. Pirates are meant to obtain and shed ships on a daily basis. Your capture timer is every 2 hours, after all. If you play an all-day marathon, you could theoretically go through 12 different Ships of the Line and it wouldn't have to cost you anything.

[Tigersbay]

I agree with you. But your missing the point, we dont have a choice and when we do, we are a target. Good for you sailing your mercy and losing it. Clap Clap. Your wrong, I couldnt care less if I lose my ship, I just want a choice at level 50 where I dont have an auto target on my back. If I put the effort into capturing a ship, I should be reward with doing with it what I wish instead of limited choices.

[Taralin Snowden]

freetraders and privateers have zero options to ever sail an alexander. we can sail any ship in the game, but we have to pay the price. the invalid pvp flag is the price we pay for being able to sail a ship that is ordinarily class-restricted.

I am amused that a Pirate is complaining about not having ship choices.

[Langron]

id complain less about that invalid ship flag and more about all NPC 4th being flagged mission sense after all most 4th can be build in large shipyards like all the smaller ships(ie no line structures and fairly low combine costs)

[Blackhorse]

Pirates need a end game ship. The answer is difficult. I half agree with the last poster aboout the 4th rates. But another side of that would mean that any PB involving pirates would see nationals going against nothing but 4th rates. That also holds true for the red circles. Wow that would scare my Privateer to death!!

That would certain fix the problem, Dont mission flag ships. Yes sure Auto Invalid ship it like the Freetader Oliphant.

Agree with that post.

You believe having pirates with 24 4th rates in every port battle fixes the problem?

Well it fixes it for the Pirates, anyway.
