CrustyJohnson Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 It's a boring day at work so I'm entertaining myself with ideas to improve the game, sorry y'all. I think adding features for new and solo players to contribute to the game is awesome and i think allowing players to scout and/or spy on enemy ports could be cool. Entering an enemy port is a dangerous affair and is not very well rewarded, even after delivering a mission item you cannot pick up a new delivery mission. I think if there were a way for players to grab a "scouting report" or something from an enemy port while docked in there in a trader ship and delivery to their nation's capital for a reward it would make for an interesting RvR enhancement + more PvP opportunities and a way for traders to bring the fight back to the enemy nations that keep ganking them. The scouting report could provide valuable information to a nation, such as: - in-depth details on who and what ships were docked there. - which port bonuses it provides - buy/sell contracts - ??? -enhanced readiness for PB (maybe a nerf to taggers or something?) It could also work alongside the proposed "raid" battle mechanic. Perhaps each scouting report on a port provides 1% toward the port being "scouted" and thus would open up the ability to raid it; or maybe make a raid easier. Or maybe it could make hostility missions contribute more to hostility if a port is fully scouted. Scouting reports could also poss. be collected and sold to other nations to help facilitate their wars. Scouted ports should probably be reduced to 0% after each server reset or maybe at the cost of port owner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You already can sail into a enemy port with a trade ship and see contracts/ port bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrustyJohnson Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 True, but providing a reason for players to go to enemy ports might be nice. Pvp when pvp is wanted or expected is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
