Make Ports Mean something?

[CaptVonGunn]

   Ok 3 months in I have been thinking on this one a while...

 

 

  Make all Capitals (National and Regional) like current National Capitals... Allow anyone that is not currently at war with that faction to dock(not outpost) and trade/repair....

 

  WIth in the new port battle rules make 1/2 the remaining Deep ports like the new Deep Water PBs.. the other 1/2 like teh new Medium PB(but still allow All ships to dock...

 

  Make ALL Captureable ports worth something......

 

                         1) Lord Protector gets a 1% of all resource production in the port.. NPC and PC.. THis is what he uses to help upgrade port defenses ect....

                                 a) Limit the number of ports any one player can be Lord Protector of. I would suggest no more then 1/2 the max Outposts you can have...

                         2) COntroling clan gets 2% deposited directly into Clan Warehouse

                                 a) maybe a limit on total ports any clan can have this level of control over.. this as in everything would be a Dev decision...

 

            Losing a port should HURT.......  if a port is captured ALL resources and ships docked there should be subject to capture... ALL Of it.... Say something like 50% of the resources and materials in the port are captured and split among the attackers. Sent to their nearest Warehouse(they did just capture a port fuill of ships  It is a conquest game WIthin this same thinking if you capture ships there needs to be a way to ransom them back to the owners if you wish......      

 

             Many will not like this idea... But it IS a war game...  

 

 

                               As everything I post in this section.. these are ideas for what I think would make a more fun game.. outlooks will vary/.////   Have fun guys and gals.. at the end of the day all you gain or lose is Pixels

As I see it you are not making Ports more meaningful than they are right now ( at least regarding resources importance ) while making Port Lords an "automated cashing mechanic" ( remember than a player can be a landowner by simple OW pvp not only PB conquest ).

Huh? right now ports are nothing.. if your faction controls 1 of each Resource set you can ALWAYS get all the resources you need... if you have the gold via the European Trader function... This is making them mean more to have Hell make suggestions on ways to have it better.. this is an idea forum.. toss them out here:)
