Well, given that all we know is what was in the log, it sounds like we'll either have a claim flag for this or, what I think is more likely, the encampments will already have a flag and we'll capture it as part of defeating the wild pirates.

I think the latter is the most likely scenario because of the mention that we'll be able to use the flag to reveal enemies still nearby, and preventing us from completing the claim; that would be hard to do if it wasn't already an existing flag in the encampment. It would also make the most sense since the structures of the encampment would already be tied to that flag and us eliminating nearby wild pirates and simply claiming the flag would be the simplest method of transferring ownership of the encampment.

It's a system that's being specifically designed for SP and non-ded, so either way, it will be set up to work for SP.

Think Steelfire has it close. As part of defeating the WPE will be claiming thier flag. If they apply a notch or emblem to you ship signifying your success would be cool. I don't think it means you claim their territory.....but we could be wrong. Depends on how they spawn. We'll see when they arrive. Either way it's definitely progress for better content

it said "pirate encampments and patrols" But, I as well remember reading on how Unofficial serves can activate them.. So maybe there will be a way to de activate them, if you dont want them on your sp game?

I suspect it will be optional for SP and servers, I think they've got enough experience by now to know that not everyone will want to deal with them. On the chance I'm wrong, I suspect there would be a mod out to get rid of them before long.

We can claim their territory, per the Captain's Log that announced them. Seems as well though that you could just beat them and not cap, and they'd eventually repopulate, I think.

And... great... now I'm going to have to make paintings for signs with kill marks and figure out where to stick them. Thanks for that idea... lol.

In any PvP game that idea should be standard. Show your kills. You pull up in a ship that has 40 s&cb marks on the side of their hull....better be nice to them. Now they need 2 types of markings. 1 for PvP and one for NPC kills. Some mechanic that burns the kill mark on your hulls.... Have yet to see any dev do this.

Yeah, but automatic kill marks on our ships for PvE wild pirate defeats would be awesome, and for boss kills, and whale kills.
