Open World Intel Idea

[CaptVonGunn]

Ok I thought I had posted this before but in doing a forum search I could not find it.. so here goes...

 

 

   Use the Trade channel for local NPC generated intel. 

 

  If a player ship is spotted at a port that info Nation and Ship type is shown in local chat... Limit it to 1 time for that ship every 5-10 min if it stays around (this way if it sails in and out of range it does not spam the channel)

 

  If it gets close enough that the City name renders in Open World for the ship then the players  Name also appears in the local chat.

 

  Now Part 2....

 

  10-15 min after this happens. this information will appear in the local chat of the next city in all directions from that location that are in the same nation and on the same land mass... to simulate signal towers and runners..... 

 

  Then 10-15 min after that the next layer of cities finds out

  These later intel reports would have the time stamp of the original report.....

 

   This would really only effect North,Central and South American ports plus Haiti,Jamaica and Cuba... But I believe it would make for an interesting time.....
