We all know that off peak battles can ruin your day, and be hard to accept after weeks of hard work.  PotBS Lead Designer Kevin 'Isildur' Maginn has written a devlog that takes a look at how new scheduling will effect nightflips.

Let's talk about the way that port battles are scheduled. The current system is that when a port reaches the required amount of unrest, the battle for control of that port is scheduled for 24 hours later. The intent of this system is that the battle takes place during the play hours of the people who force the port into contention. When it was designed, the idea was that ports would enter the contention phase ‘organically', as a result of nearby PvP activity.

That isn't, however, the way ports enter contention in the live game; they are intentionally forced by motivated attackers. This leads to the unfortunate side effect of allowing sufficiently motivated players to cause battles to be scheduled in off-peak hours, when few defenders will be able to respond to the threat. This is borderline griefing; it's not really against the rules, but it's certainly not a positive game experience for the targets.
