Suggestion for Preventing Ships Spam Attacking: Change server when sank

    Hello.
    There has always been an issue with the game which meant when a ship was sunk, they would often come straight back a few minutes later. Me and my friends have had to give up skeleton forts multiple times because they become wars of attrition where no one actually makes much progress in the fort itself. The times we win and manage to finish the fort, we often get attacked while looting and off guard.

    Today we were attacked 4 times by the same sloop beating them Everytime but losing on the 5th time because we now lacked resources. It was not worth fighting them again as we spawned literally the other side of the map when they spawned at nearby islands.

    I have a suggestion for stopping the same ship attacking repeatedly and it is fairly simple. I suggest when you sink and all crew players either die or return to ship, you are moved to a new server which prevents spam attacks against players

    @mr-garmanarnar No. No no no no no no no.

    Imagine you have 10 Athenas on you. You sink, causing you to change servers. How mad would you be when you realize that you can't get those athenas back?

    Forts are server wide events and are long past their glory days of constant PvP... where are these servers?

    Can we swap servers, I did a fort... nobody showed. It is supposed to be a server event, a PvP beacon in the air... 4 times returned a battle of attrition, ooh the glory days where 4 to all 6 ships showed up and battled it out for 20k... for hours and spawns were even closer than they are now, minutes... more like 30 seconds, they spawned at the island next to you.

    People want a chance of revenge, a chance of recovering from the attackers what was stolen. They are not going to change it.

    @mr-garmanarnar ...and lose out on revenge fantasies? No thanks!

    You had 2 key options:

    1. Resupply, or
    2. Switch servers yourself.

    Because you chose to do neither, you caused your own problem. You cannot control the actions of others; that's why it's called a shared world. Besides, you don't know their motivations - perhaps they were using you for practice, or perhaps they simply wanted to get you to leave the server, or maybe it was because you had something that they really, really wanted. In the end, you had what you needed, so use it!

    Alright.
    Let say they add this.

    You are still at the fort, and some sneaky devil rows in with a few powder kegs and sinks your ship, along with killing the crew.

    You now will switch servers, losing the fort.
    How will you feel now?
