PvE Port Investments - Simple Ideas

[Tenet]

For PvE - these ideas/options can be implemented together or separately:

1. Port Upgrades are Clan-Exclusive by default - no other player and no other clan is affected. They must build their own upgrades/investments. New players must repeat the process from nothing. 

2. Achievement based Port Upgrades - to access and build or use upgrades, each player must perform a set of difficult achievements / battles / trades, etc.

3. Port Maintenance Fee - every clan owned port costs them a lot of money to maintain, that cost goes 10x if they decide to open the port for other players, and they can't change status for a week at a time. 

4. Port Invasions by NPC - every clan owned port gets invaded by increasingly stronger NPC fleets. Each attack requires more players to defend. Eventually, after several weeks, the NPC attack is too strong and the port upgrades get damage or partially removed, requiring new investment. This means that clan ports that don't get defended by many in the community will eventually clear out. 

4.5 Only people that participate in Defenses can use the port upgrades (if they show up every other attack at least, and bring a ship of the appropriate rate). 

5. On PvE exclusively the Line-Ship Elites have a new item reward: Port Resource Pack:

a) Option 1: Port Resource Pack allows you to set Port Bonus exactly like in invested port for your Next Ship. 

b) Option 2: Port Resource Pack allows your clan to maintain invested Port for one day. Each clan port starts out with resources for 7 days. This means that inactive clans that do not hunt down Line Ship Elites will eventually have their investments removed. 

You have many options to do things that will give access to PvE players to mechanics you worked hard to create!

Do something. PvE players are also paying customers!
