Sencliff Ships Idea

Post by Xarge VI » Fri Nov 06, 2020 4:23 pm

I'll just copypasta this from the feedback thread as I really found the idea good, and its author a smart and beautiful person.

I think a good solution would be as follows:

Leave Warship as is.

Add 1-2 new ships.

These new ships + liberator work under a pirate election system. This would keep things dynamic and be realistic that ships are commanded by popularity contest in a pirate society.

I've found the issue of having only rentable ships in Sencliff a negative thing even before the new awesome sea stuff and ship upgrades. It promotes random grouping up which isn't a bad thing by no means, but it comes at the expense of agency for dedicated pirate crews.

I think just a basic election system except not for Sencliff but for these pirate ships separately would be an elegant solution and fitting for the theme. Pirates calling vote. Giving sencliff intrigue and popular captains/large crews agency.

I don't feel confident enough to have any 'sway' on this but I think it's a cool idea. Maybe only 'Dread Captains' can apply to be captain, but all 'inked' folks (or perhaps only those above greenhorn? IDK) can vote. Votations, like in settlments, are once per IG year. Winner(s) get the ships and not much else.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
