Many of us have played this game prior to the current method of acquiring an EBB1. We all
know that now, the only way to get an EBB1 is to have an account that we invited buy at
least 3 months worth of premium.

Some of the players that have received an EBB1 post-patch, have done so by making a dummy
account and purchasing the 3 months of premium. Now, that's a $30 premium ship right there
(not to mention the $10 you spent to get the invites); it's best to stick with the current
PBB instead of using that method.

Now, some of us, in all honesty, refuse to use that method and just let the $30 and the
premium go to waste. So, the other idea would be to invite a friend who would buy premium
on this game. Ok, most (if not the majority of us) have friends who would be interested in
playing the game but they don't buy premium. Why? Maybe they don't have the means to, they
don't spend $ on a free-to-play game, or they're saving their cash for something in real
life. Whatever it may be, that method is gone.

So, now, the only way for this player to hopefully get an EBB1 is to wait for an event
where the prize is actually an EBB1. Sadly, there have only been 3 events (sink the beast,
and the 2 coin events) where an EBB of any type was the prize. Now, for those of us who
went straight for the new EBB's, our chances of getting the EBB1 were eliminated. Also, in
the sink the beast event, the prize was an EBB2 (or 3) and not an EBB1.

So my suggestions are:
1) Allow some players to get an EBB1 for maybe $10 out of the NF store. It would be a
little more expensive than a regular PBB, but it would make those national ship collectors
a little happier knowing they have access to a ship that they generally wouldn't have
access to (be it dependency on a friend, no event, etc.).
2) Allow the EBB1 to be like the ECL's (emden, emerald, omaha, yubari) where once your BO
hits that level, it becomes available to purchase/use.
3) Please host more events where the prizes are any EBB of player choice inested of just
an EBB3 or an EBB2.
4) Allow us once again to freely trade our EBB's as we see fit. Many of the players out
there have them just collecting dust in their harbors or just sell them right back to the
harbor once they're done using them. So many of us would be willing to buy and use those
EBB's that just sit there.


Those are just a few thoughts/ideas, and I'm always open to better ideas for anything that
I may have overlooked or just to improve this topic.
