1) Perhaps certain towns could sell an "Old Ironsides" hull. It's a special hull that would carry a premium, but it would render the holder impervious to the next five/ten/xxx attacks, regardless of who the attacker is. This would also help newbies and the growing "PTW Middle Class" who are hit each day by the Old Guard.
i very much like this idea , there would have to be limitations on possibly how often a month someone could use it.
maybe the price of the "Old Ironsides" could be based on the players level
cost could be like
(crew + cannon) x 500 = old ironside
newbie would be like this ( 2 crew + 3 cannon) x 500 = 2500
old guard would be (10 crew + 10 cannon) x 500 = 10000
this idea would do 2 things
1. remove gold from the game and reduce cashout
2. affordable protection for newbies
it would be really nice to see this implemented on a limited basis and then expand after. we dont want everyone over-using it and take the fun out of the game and everyone running around with super-hulls.
this idea could also be used on any stat where for X amount of gold someone could tempoararily upgrade their attack by 2-3 levels.
great post mef, ref idea is good too btw
