reflecingx 28 Posted February 21, 2019 An issue that is always existing in PvE are ships everywhere. Claimed lands and lawless alike. This generates a larger set of issues than just cluttering space, from declining server performance to QOL issues for building or using structures and much more. More often than not they are freeport ships/rafts or ships from players who have moved on from the game. Here are some simple changes that could improve this aspect. Freeport ships: 7 day decay timer with no exceptions. These ships are meant to be temporary vessels to get you on your way. At 7 days they sink, this allows for what ever they had in chests and such to be salvaged by them or others. Abandon ships: This is a large issue in PvE do to all the changes from grieving. However, it seems simple enough. Give each ship a claim timer and a claim box like a tame would have. Removing the need to be on a ship to claim it at all. This could be 7 -10 days abandon or even 15 days. Anything at this rate is better than what is currently implemented. Unlike tames though, after the date at which a ship can be claimed they should start to take damage at a similar rate to freeports. This will allow them to sink and be plundered and not just removing/zapping them from the game. Goldenage: Should have no more than 3 or 4 days of "free parking" after that freeport damage should be applied to all ships. While these are small resolutions they are simple and allow for the servers to be cleaned regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
