Can pvp in ships be more limited? As it is it's almost pointless to try to use
you ship when Shar and Rocker are going around sinking you right after boot at
major ports. Come on, there is nearly no consequence for a super-rich player
to sink as many ships as he pleases. This has nothing to do with pirates vs.
others, pirates just rule the day and nothing can be done to stop them. What
kind of fun is it when your ship can be outrun/outgunned/seen through
cloak/etc.etc. by Shar/etc.? And even if you somehow got lucky and Shar
decided to idle, he could just cloak and the vast majority of ships can't
compete, or he can go and idle on a mountain top. Nomads are pretty screwed by
this since even w/ ferries, their reliance on ep skills pretty much makes is
pointless to run from area to area through dense forests, etc. Can there be
some balance like we have with guild/races? Offensive mages can't go attack
tanks and expect to win easily, why should one be able to build a ship which
is superior in almost every single way?

You're wasting your breath. I've asked this for a gazillion times, players
have whine about it a bazillion times, its full of shit, total bullshit and
utter fucknuts, and nobody's going to do anything about it. So save your
keyboard and get pwned like the rest of us.

Here's an idea - remove the pvp from ships. Simple and effective.

Pirating is not an issue around major ports, since the ports are combat-free
zones and one can easily sail back to the port if being attacked by a pirate
(unless he/she panics and cant find the way back to the port, duh).

Pirating occurs around popular areas like Votk, where there is no ports to
hide in. And also there are many with ships who just want to use them to
travel nicely, and not spends hours and hours to learn mastery of combat. I
don't see the glory in being sank by 2x class 6 ships after I leave harbor,
then my ship errors and won't enter harbor!
