Small companies need a way to play!

[Mike L 71]

Ok, so the settler system that is in place, helps a little bit, however if the game is going to recover players you will have to do something about smaller companies always having to rebuild in pvp. 

You could go a couple different routes to help the problem

1. Make it so that smaller companies, with less island points get shorter combat timers. With that change also make it so that the biggest company your allied with or have settled on your island makes the combat timer longer based on how big they are to prevent exploits. 

2. Introduce very limited Freeport storage that is completely safe, is personal to each pathfinder, and not connected between freeports, so that freeports can be used as a fallback for small companies. 

Despite how hard it is out there for small companies to maintain or keep anything at all there are STILL some small companies left, and it's my belief that when the game opened 50-60% of players wanted small companies with friends and trusted players, that's alot of players intest you could capture again by making the game playable for small and large companies!

Thanks for reading, I'm still rooting for atlas to be successful, it's an awesome game!
