Topic: Restrict Certain Ore To Certain Beta Islands
As part of my ongoing quest to come up with ways to make beta islands more attractive I was listening to a conversation the other night about how alliances on other beta islands let anyone on to mine whatever whenever they like which prevents market cornering.
So I thought what if certain types of ore or plants could only be found on unique beta islands e.g. titan ore was only found on one beta island?
This would could be combined with introduction of new beta islands and generate land grabbing and fights over land that was actually worth more compaired to other islands, beta or alpha.
It would also generate actual alliance negotiations that go beyond "don't shoot our sequers and termis please" plus for those beta islands people don't want to visit then they have a choice, take a big risk for big profits or pay extortionate prices.
It might also make heavy industrial alliances that own beta outposts to rethink their attitude towards the current free for all approach they have if their unique claim on the market was under threat.
Thoughts?
