Low Pop Econs effect on Conquest

[Pyros21]

Just a moment ago on Blackbeard, Spain contested a British port at Bell Island. The brits won without a single loss, we made some errors in disposition and it was 13 to 18 but not a single one of their ships was even highly damaged.

Now the cause for this isn't our ineptness, which I admit is quite vast. It's a simple problem with population. The Brits brought 3 Second Raits, 2 3rds a handful of 4ths and some change. We had 5 4rths and a bunch of heavy outfit non raited ships. The 2nds decimated our whole fleet in literally seconds. So here’s the problem. How the hell do we combat this? It's literally impossible for us to bring 3 2nd's to a battle; we don't have an economy that can produce them.

There’s literally nothing we can do about it, so how are we supposed to even compete when we have literally no chance due to size and rait. How dose FLS plan to help a small struggling nation that can barely afford to build 3rds compete agents one with 2nd's this is a game braking issue. Why play if I don't have any chance at al.. There's simply no point to pay to have to grind for 100hours just to loose a ship in 2 battles because it's still not even close to enough. This needs to be address, and SOON.

I understand that LSSB's were implemented to keep Line Ships out of port battles, I played in Beta for months and I know it was all we ever used or saw. But how are you going to address when one Nation has them and the other can't even wish for them. Perhaps you should consider giving them free to the nation that loses. Lowering the cost of them in some way for a smaller nation to balance the econ. Whatever your approach it needs to be addressed. Otherwise the population that is barely hanging on as it is, will evaporate and there will be nothing left.
