Refit your subs without armour. Just tube's 2 x 4's & eng3. Then when you die remove all but one from the line up & it will instant repair
then add another & another till they are all done takes about a minute & a half once you get the hang of it.
Yeah I know my subs don't have armor thats the point. I could handle the game glitching that caused them to die when taking a simple salvage as long as I could just come right back after fast repairing them. I don't mind if I die battleing due to some mistake I made or distraction that's part of it. It's when my fleets die do to glitches that drives me crazy. I'd use my sws and other fleets more if I wasn't afraid to lose them to glitches alone. Fast repair subs are the only thing that makes playing this game bareable with the all to frequent glitching.

Sectors: Too many to remember off the top of my head.
I like the idea of being able to view 3rd party but not the notifications when raiding bases your already pretty likely to get an ally member of theirs on your tail now if the game tells them it will be guaranteed that there will be a group of their friends on your ****.
I personally think it is a bad idea. Especially if someone is peeking your base other people can see what your base has for them. I prefer having people die trying my base. With this it gives other people an advantage they wouldn't have before.
There is currently no way for a 3rd party to view a battle in progress.
We will be implementing a feature that allows any player to view a “Fleet VS Fleet” or “Fleet VS Base” battle. Any player can use the mouse to click on a battle and view the battle as a spectator only (cannot participate in battle). Spectators will not be able to view submerged submarines.
There will also a feature that announces when battles are taking place near your base in the Comm (chat window). This feature can be easily disabled if you do not want to receive battle notifications.
As Battle Pirates is a Massively Multiplayer Online game, we feel this will greatly enhance the effect of being an open-world game. The game has a strong emphasis on competition, so it only makes sense to grant anyone the ability to view players competing with each other.
NO! I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THIS IDEA! WORST IDEA EVER YOU COULD COME UP WITH! THIS IS A JOKE! THIS WILL RUIN THE GAME!
For Example: I attack a base, didn't make it. Really strong base. I try again *someone comes along to look at the attack, sees that the base is strong good, hard to penetrate, well he'll just copy that base. That's another Hard base to get in.* *He gets attacked maybe two people look, "Wow he has a good base I'll use his." They copy it, that's 4 base designs that are exactly the same*. NO! This game is about ORIGINALITY! Not copying and pastying. Same with Fleet Vs Fleet. *Dude attacks someone, someone comes along looks at his Fleet design (the winners) and copies it. Then someone looks at his design.... etc....* This game will just be boring.... everyone will be the same..... It's like a poor rpg game where theirs only 1 best armor and 1 best weapon. Everyone will use it cause it's the best!
GET RID OF THIS IDEA! STUPID! IT WILL RUIN THE GAME!
PS: EVERYONE THAT LIKES THIS IDEA.... IT'S EITHER CAUSE YOUR SHIP DESIGNS SUCK OR YOUR BASE SUCKS. OR LIKE SOMEONE SAID "Sweet i want to see if my alliance members actually know what they are doing in base attacks hehe." NO GET RID OF THIS STUPID IDEA IT'LL RUIN THE GAME. IT WON'T BE FUN ANYMORE. IT'LL JUST BE PEOPLE ATTACKING EVERYONE WITH SAME SHIP DESIGNS AND BASE DESIGNS..... OH MY GOD WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU THINK OF SUCH A HORRIBLE IDEA. WAIT I KNOW SO PEOPLE WILL SPEND MONEY REFITTING THEIR SHIPS.................................

Whats the point of your comment? Trolling as usual? Very creative. Atleast I care about the game I play, as for you it seems you could careless. Whatever makes your stronger right. Not having to work for you base design and fleet designs. yeah you only like skating through life. Thanks Troll, your comment was uesless.
Screw other people being able to watch me fight, let me watch an attack on my base when I'm **** AFK..... Since I started playing in June I've been hit while I was actually online to watch it maybe a dozen times, every other hit would take place when I'm not online and can't see wtf they hit me with.

It sounds more like your fleets suck so much you don't want people to have better bases maybe the reason you don't want it is because your fleets siuck so bad.
Firstly how is viewing a base attack any different from scouting a base with a gunboat??
As long as they don't let the spectator see anmore information than is already shown, ie the defender doesn't get to see the build of the attackers fleets same as the attacker doesn't get to see the base specials in use or the build of the defenders fleet.
So I think yes it might make for some people that don't belong to an alliance to learn a bit more about base design, but good players should be welcoming that, its far better to have a challenge.
So all in the spectator mode if implemented correctly is a great idea.

I would like to point out the problems with your argument:
1. When some one has a strong base, people peak at it now anyways, usually with permission some times with out. So if they wanted to they can try and copy it. It just takes time in most cases.
2. Of course they want some money, coding isn't free. ^_^ Which is why I like making coiners speed repair their ships even if i loose they typically take damage from my fleets, Though I could use some more useful merc fleet weapons, they just kinda feed VXP to other players since I got maelstorm for the seige rockets .
3. This is a good Idea, as if you are off line and a friend see's an attack, they can point out any weaknesses that you missed. Oh, and it might help in "jumping" the attacker, though if they are using a second window or refresh exit method, this is near unlikely but still maybe possible.
That also assume that the player being attacked is online...and setup in that way. However, that isn't the only issue.
1) It will act as an alarm bell that a base is under attack nearby
2) Then allow potential ninjas to see when the attacker is about to exit
3) Turn a base with one or two flaws into the sector farm
4) Allow anything that is innovative to be coined by the entire sector
5) Allow for the entire sector to know what ships someone has in their fleet to bring the appropriate countermeasure
Jefe has some good points in here - I'm strongly against the alert feature: don't want local ninjas being alerted I'm attacking a base, so they can see I'm using, let's say, a mortar fleet, and how destroyed I am, and bring perfect fleet to destroy me after base attack.
To a lesser extent, the thing that ppl can see what you use and just copy is not cool either.
I believe only the base attacker should be able to allow others to watch. So he can choose who will see it, or eventually pre-define a list, similar to bookmarks, of "people to be warned when I attack a base".
Thanks for all the feedback you provided on the topic. Your opinions have been compiled, filtered and passed on for the developers to read. At this point, the window to help shape the future of this feature has closed, so the thread is now closed as well.
