GOF: Saving ships for Pirates: aka Port Controllers

Privateer
I'm playing the peter blood story line. I am unable to go into french or english ports with an english flag. This is before and after I paid off my bounty with a diplomat. That said any port I go into I am fired apon. I wanted to save the ship you get in the beginning but so far I can't go to any ports to do so. Either bugged relations or not.

Long story short... Where can I store ships as a pirate. I can't find a port controller in any of the pirate cities....
 
Unfortunately that is one of the challenges of playing as a pirate. There are no port controllers. The pirate nation is the hardest faction to play. What I try to do as a pirate is build up my character with levels, skills and perks until my stealth is good. I will choose a nation to not attack (usually France). Then I will obtain that nation's flag in the perks. Once I've sneaked into the town the backway I will try to obtain the church quests and obtain some renown rescuing young French girls from hooligans. Once I have achieved a better than neutral relationship with the country I will always fly that flag when coming close to their colonies and then I will pick up escort missions and trade missions if I can - to further improve my relations.

So its rather like burning the candle at both ends. I'm still a pirate but there is one nation I do not prey upon and they like me. When I have that relationship well established I can leave my ships at that nation's port controllers. It takes a little time to get this going which is another good reason why playing as a pirate is so challenging. The higher the difficulty setting the better stealth numbers you need to make this all happen. If you get in trouble with the nation you're trying to build the relationship with be sure to pay off the diplomat found in the pirate havens to repair relations before taking quests again from that nation. It takes 14 days for him to repair relations if I remember correctly.
