How about mixing Cannon Defense and Treasure Fleets into Invasions?

An Undead Ship of the Line rolls in, and then various brigades come out of the SotL and its protection ships. We fire our cannons at them, and then we see huge puffs of smoke coming out of their ships. But wait, what is coming? Suddenly dozens of explosives hit the Defenses AND the Barricades.

Or this situation. The Undead ships fire countless long stretching white spectral fury which flies past us. We then send our fighters to battle them on their ships.

An EITC or Navy Invasion sounds nice. But in these Invasions, their light frigates have to stop at the docks and drop their thugs and cadets to attack us. The enemies can't just suddenly spawn lol. But as Davy said above, Beckett might not send a huge Invasion force to ransack an island. Just maybe Tortuga. But that can only be a minor raid. How about a British Navy Invasion against the Spanish colony of Cuba? Spanish privateers can be used to rebuff the enemuies.
