I would like the 10 contract limit to be raised to 20.

With the limit being just 10 it reduces competition. More contracts means people will have room to place contracts in more ports than just the biggest ones.

Wait, there's a limit? Why, though? Even having one at all seems arbitrary and unnecessarily restrictive.

Like most of the limits in the game...  outposts, buildings, dock slots...  it makes it that much more convenient to buy an alt.

Alts and DLCs,  fund life support for NA servers.

Need more Contracts? Outposts, Buildings?  There is no limit.

There is a much more mundance and technical reason for limits like these, allocating hardware resources to improve performance.

I think most of you are losing sight of the point of my post. I want to see more commerce and economic competition and a good way to do that is to increase the contract limit. I don't really care why the limit is currently 10 (probably just a nice round number), if the devs wish to, they can change it.

Until an actual Developer responds to my post with their rationale for the limit being 10, it is pointless to speculate as to the devs motives.

This is not meant to be a bash the Devs thread.

I don't see anyone bashing here.   My suggestion was constructive: sincerely (without sarcasm) buy some alts - the Devs will appreciate your support and it will provide you with access to an unlimited number of outposts.

While you are spending, buy an Admiralty Connection for each alt.  It will give you more docks, buildings, and warehouses.

There is a solution ready for your perceived problem.  It's your choice to remain limited.

Just because things are the way they are now does not mean they can't be improved on. The "just buy an alt" line of thinking is what's limited.

I'm not talking about dockpace or outposts, just the 10 contract limit when buying/selling goods, so please don't conflate the two. You have not added anything valuable to this thread.

I'm giving feedback to the developers in the hope they will see it, like it, and implement it.
