If you were to log off on a boat and your friend takes that boat across the world where would you log in at? On the boat still or back at the beach where the boat left? If it is on the boat, what prevents players from reverse sieging other boats by waiting to log in when their boat gets attacked? Or baiting other boats to come "help you" then siege them.

How does no Corruption factor into that?
The seas are an open PvP zone. There's no corruption.
I believe Ashes will go for the same, so probably nope, you can't log off at a place and login at new location of the boat.
Aren't we all sinners?
On a boat and log out:
- Ship stays in place for, let's say, five minutes.
- Nobody attacks it, it's still in the same place. You log back in onto the boat within five minutes and everything's dandy.
OR
- Someone attacks it like a sitting duck and destroys it, your loss.
OR
- You don't log back in within five minutes, nobody attacks it, the ship is despawned back to the dock and any goods onboard that you would've lost in PvP are left floating in the water for anyone to pick up until they despawn. The next time you log in, you're either washed up on the nearest shoreline with a small debuff, or if Intrepid is feeling generous, you respawn back on the nearest dockyard.
These are the potential paths I can foresee. Allowing you to log out and have your ship w/ everything on it teleported back to the dock would be easily abused by people trying to avoid the PvP system.
Then you can ambush anyone/everyone with no consequences. I am asking what will stop people from doing this? You see one person on a big ship then engage it in combat then 10 people log back in and destroy your ship instead.
How would you know how many people are hiding on the ship in the first place?
I never said it needs to be stopped.
???
Usually coming up with an answer like, maybe they will switch open seas back to a corruption system if this turns out to be a bigger problem than Intrepid realized. Or maybe they will have players not be able to log in on boats to easily fix this specific situation.
Um... then...that means it should be stopped. Right?
Seems to me ambushing is fair play in a free-for-all PvP zone.
Then moving while not logged in is fine to you then? Because IMO that's not fine with me. Being able to travel while not logged in seems almost like teleporting.
