content Ship Paints - availability vs content

[Cr33D]

Hi All,

Reading through the forums, you can see a lot of questions or request for ship paints / skins. 

Thinking a little bit about it an idea popped into my head. Please let me know what you think. 

Ship paints/skins availability in region capitals if:

Mechanics on how painting system will work.

• whole region is owned by one nation (or clan) - region specific paint
• you can paint your ship only if you are on this ship or ship is in the fleet (not as an item that you can carry to another port)
• you have to leave your ship in this port until server maintenance (optional)
• Clan owning port has to invest an X amount of gold to build shipyard in region capital to benefit from below

Cost of applying paint

• Nation (or clan) owning region - 25% of the cost
• Any other nation or clan - 100% of the cost
• Income from paints is taxed and relevant amount of it goes to the clan owning regional port

Pros

More ships customization available (satisfying a lot of people requesting paints)

More incentive to own ports:

• Additional Income for clan owning
• Paints available for everyone

More traffic

• Making paints available only in specific port for set ship meaning lot of people trying to get to this port if they want to look cool
• Groups of people forming to decrease a risk of being intercepted

More RVR as the whole region is required to unlock paints

Modification is available for all despite in which nation you are, or what you do (PVP, PVE, Trading, Crafting) - although will incur additional cost and effort. 

 

Cons

Not sure on those, but I am sure that discussion will highlight some  

Please do so or add in your suggestions to above solution.
