Gryphorim 2 Posted January 24, 2019 One of the concerns I have with the claims mechanic as it stands now, is that a company is immediately aware of any contest to claims that they have established. This can give companies with large holdings an unfair advantage over smaller startups. What I propose is changing the claim dispute notification system to only notify company members who are present in that zone when it is being disputed, as well as the addition of a homing pigeon cage, that allows a claim to broadcast this information to the company at large, if the cage is crewed, either by a player or an NPC. The homing pigeon could also notify if the crew operating it died, and could perhaps be able to carry a single item of stack size one (and only small items, like a single gold coin or a treasure map. Maybe a single pistol, but that'd be pushing it.) between cages, acting as a rapid transit system, but of limited capability. This would require companies of large holdings to maintain their holdings, by upkeeping at least one crewmember in each location, and so have to pick and choose which holdings they want to enforce their claim to. Thus allowing smaller companies some room to establish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
