What I'd Like to see

Prisons that must be defended.

Dont think Farragut is an easy target

Admiral Faraguts 3 transport ships are protected by a fleet of warships. The trip is also a short one, plus foreign intervention has never entered into one of my games.......Its enabled, but they don't even get close to entering.
