Mission boards

[Guest]

My suggestion:

Make every port/capital have a missionsboard/tavern where players can put up missions for other players. One thing that has bugged me since joining the game is basically that the OW is a big empty space with very little player interactions outside of the battles. I think this is a real shame and there's so many opportunities for playerbased gameplay - if it was enabled and promoted from ingame mechanics.

Examples of playermissions:

Escorts - self explanatory

Traderuns - rent out your ship for a run to help a player empty an OP

PvP - Form an impromptu fleet for those pesky raiders, or go raid yourself

Fishing - I know, we all laugh... And yet all crafters love it.

Crafting - get a ship crafted to your specs, or a crafter can advertise his handiwork without actually making the ship beforehand. 

 

My imagination is severely limited, but the idea is that one player can set up a contract with marks, xp (possibly), gold or other items for a mission to be fulfilled by another player. To avoid exploitation - what is given to one player must be taken from another 1:1.

The biggest +1 imaginable. This is the player content NA lacks that we're all asking for. Player made content never gets bored, and if we can't have hand crafted quest and missions from the devs, this is the next best thing, (and having both would be epic.)

You're the first to fit the entire scope of playerbase content this game needs within a single, unbloated suggestion. Take another +1

And while at it. Setting up bounties. Bounties to be displayed on a bounty board in each capital. Nice!
