    I'm sorry but I'm very curious...... is it even worth anything reporting floating boats ....
    It sucks when you win or lose in the end you are watching high level people with boats with op weapons sitting there letting everyone die until the match is over ..... what is their punishment for floating in a match .... because it's very frustrating playing trying to get high infamy when you get a floating boat you know it's gonna be a 4vs5 match which is hard to win

    Hard to say they should be punished, maybe a stat for number of matches played vs floated.
    I have had a few games where a phonecall has came in at the start of a match, would be a bit harsh to have punished me IMO.
    However if you can see someone floated several matches in a row, then action should be taken as your just screwing over everyone else in the team.

    It is worth reporting - we look into those on a daily basis.

    However, long term we are also looking into better options - can't really make any promises though on how, just to let you know it is on our minds. :)

    I'm curious why floating isn't auto-detected? 0 damage, 0 healing are red flags. Then we can limit manual reporting to other types of intentional suicides.

    I like the idea of auto detection...they would also have to consider the once off...poor internet or signal loss scenario.

    poor internet is easy to track as well... just log the pings

    I have encountered floaters in many battles. It was really bad....these ships equiped with rare and epic weapons!

    The floating issue can be fixed by only allowing players to join a battle with a ping of 250 or lower! The current set up allows players to join a battle even if they have a bad connection! So please fix this issue asap since people are being reported for not taking part in an attack whilst they're not aware of a poor connection!

    If they shoot one shot even they don't move their ships, we know they might have connection issues. However, these ships did nothing even one shot....nah!
    I know some people purposely lower down their infamy so that they can collect gold and sugar easily at lower level with their powerful weapons.
