I have a very interesting idea and my few little ideas

About the merchants and trading, I have the best fucking idea ever, hear me out :

you know so the islands would have archipelagos and different general regions, right

For example this zone has good woodland and has a high animal reproduction rate so that’s the particularity of that place.

another place would be very barren and difficult to live in however there would be a lot of minerals

that would promote trade like idk what else omg this is gonna be amazing

Ooh ooh ooh also I want things for food

like, this sea has very good fishing, those islands are good for farming, that island is capable of supporting cows you know so there would be food markets and everythin

Btw I’m all for the no OP armor stuff, however no live map is bad because trust me nobody is going to find anyone’s base ever because people will hide underground and get their base never found and it’ll be terrible

and so I say that the live map stays the same, i myself am a pvper, and I’ll go out of my way to loot someone at the other side of the world

howevrr the live map should only update the blocks every 24hours so people don’t see a ship coming to loot them

So we could implement /siege with invisibility NOT allowed during siege and everyone would have mining fatigue III so everything doesn’t get torn down but attackers would have to maintain a couple people chipping down at a fortress wall whilst getting shot at by archers and everything

also cannons would break better to encourage using them instead but no intense griefing just like 6-7 blocks, a small explosion that would break blocks

and yeah also no infinity so arrows would be traded and it would be fun

no elytras

no shucker boxes

Have official ranks ( merchant, sailor, carpenter, etc ) that would have perk merchant getting extra doubloons booster (x1.2) or sailor boats would go faster and carpenters would be the only ones able to craft certain very specific things so people HAVE to trade

ok that was long I never intended for it to be this long I just got carried away and all

OK. So many ideas! -No claims, to create constant up and downs, and always a way to bounce back. This would keep no one in power.

I think this isn’t exactly the best idea, but it’s still up for debate. If there were absolutely no claims, people would just log in when others are offline to take everything the other person has, forcing people to create hidden underground bases which I feel like is something we wouldn’t want people to feel forced to do. Instead I think it would be nicer to see builds like ports, forts, and etc.

I recently looked up the factions plugin and it seemed pretty interesting by having it so by crew/faction power, you are able to rule an area(That has grief prevention but only in the area that you have control in), but I still thought that wasn’t good enough. I think a territorial takeover system like by raiding and being established in the area then only after that the territory would be considered your crew’s territory.

Pretty fun talking about these ideas and looking plugins up to help achieve this, it’s nice to see the community banding together to help create something = )

Point made @Viper @Lord0Viper , so maybe we could have a limit of one claim? To claim your ship or your base, you’d base to choose.

I would just like to see a reset of the map. Its getting kinder old now

I like the idea of a new server, but if we are making another one its has to be different somehow otherwise its basically just the same thing and its just a waste of time.

Some ideas I’ve heard on this forum thread that I like are:

No Teleportation, this would promote trade and transport of resources.  This would also increase the use of player built ships since then you would need to sometimes transport large amount of resources from place to place and those small vanilla boats though faster can only transport whats in your inventory.  Thus no teleportation is a really good idea.

Maps based off of real world places, like a map of the Caribbean (which would be much better if it was a map of the Caribbean plus surrounding land areas like central america, Florida and keys, and northern parts of south america to have more land areas).  It is also possible that we could have a world map, although finding a close to 1:1 scale for that would be difficult.  Oh yea for maps like the Caribbean, a map that was close to real size would be best since it would be annoying if it was not close to same size because then some islands would be to small to put towns on.

No Dynmap, this idea I’ve heard about and I think in general its a good idea since it would promote exploring and maps.  Now of course you could say if we had a real world map then you just need google maps but here is the thing, you wouldn’t know where people or towns are since players will be able to set up towns and forts wherever thus even with a real world map in place you would still need exploring and maps.  Which would be fun since then maps would be worth something.

Island Map, going with the stuff about maps, if we do not use a real world map like the Caribbean or such, having a map that is mostly islands and not large continents would be cool.

Towns/Cities and claims stuff, decided to put this as one point, because I’ve seen a lot about this.  Now the idea I think would be best is if people can make towns and like the size of the town leads to more and more NPCs spawning in or such in the town area.  And its more special NPCs who can like trade and sell stuff and who knows maybe other things to.  And towns can get attacked and burned down and NPCs killed.  Now maybe this isn’t a great idea and there is better ideas as to how player built towns can work but I still want the idea of player built towns but what would be better is if the towns where more fluent like they can be taken over and attacked and such.

Cannons (must keep), ok I heard someone say that we should not have cannons, all ill say is NO.  We NEED cannons or at least something like cannons because without cannons it greatly limits battles via ships and forts and such.

There may be stuff I missed while reading through the chat but that is what I think is good.
