think about the situation. let me give you an example of why it would not work out having ships stay in one place.
"Patrolling/less ships idea"
Phere are 10 pirates, 5 go sailing for a quest, 5 go sailing for gold.
There are two eitc ships patrolling.
3 of the ships get there first (they 3 want gold/lvl up)
The three ships swarm the two eitc ships and beat them easily therefore getting less gold and rep becuase there where less ships. They argue over who was there first aswell.
After two more eitc ships spawn the three jump on them again same thing happens, the other 7 ships sailing see the eitc in the distance, they go for it.
After the 7 ships get there, there are three ships already battleing the two eitc, know there are 10 going after 2 ships, therefore getting even less gold, even less rep and some people not getting there quest item. people are argueing over who needs what and who was there first and telling people going away. causing a amongst fellow pirates.
Now you have 10 ships all circling the same spot ready to punce on the first ship that come thru, when one eitc ( or any enemy) ship pops up all the pirate ships(10) get a few hits on the enemy ship then its sunk. then wait again and repeat untill they get desired results.
"How the game already is"
There are 10 priates, 5 wanting quest, 5 wanting gold,
There are about 30 ships floating around.
Each pirate goes out and finds a lonesome enemy and attacks it, another pirate comes to the battle, then in the distance he sees another ship he can shot at. He steers away from the other pirate and happily goes to another ship, becuase there is enough for everybody.
The enemy ship to player ship ratio has to be more enemys to pirates so there is enough for everbody so we all dont have to hoard around two ships.
do I have to draw a diagram for you to understand this? Or hopefully what I wrote helped out
