Allianced Sea Forts

What about being able to raise a flag at the forts? The forts could give you rep and gold over time for whichever alliance you raise the flag for ie. Gold Horders, Order of Souls, Merchant, Reapers, Athena. You would be able to hold multiple forts to stack rewards utilizing the ghosts not respawning if you are at the fort the more pirates you have spread out amongst forts makes it easier to lose them to other pirates and if you leave a fort the ghost will respawn capturing the fort back. The fort with a flag raised would show up on the map like the Reapers ship flag and capturing one from another pirate(s) gives you their flag to turn into any emissary for a better price than ship emissary flag would fetch you at Reapers hideout. You wouldn't have to worry about server jumping and it would be enticing for non Reapers to attack and/or capture forts cause it gives them rep and gold without the work and a fighting chance to defend fort flags.
