Topic: Future POS Implementation
So I've read throughout the forums that player owned structures are being worked on for the next expansion of Perpetuum. I absolutely love this idea and I'm looking forward to seeing it implemented in the worst way. My request is actually regarding that implementation and I should add that I'm assuming the structures will only be constructible/obtainable on the beta islands.
Instead of only allowing structures to be another part of the free-for-all that are the beta islands, allow the "rights" for these structures to be bid on in the free market. In other words, transform the domain of the POS from exclusively combat pvp to both combat pvp and market pvp. By enabling industrialists to buy the rights (read Syn-tec protection) of the structures or their surroundings, it would give non-combat agents and corporations a chance to compete for these valuable assets. The protection could be in the form of an entirely different island where the land is leased to the highest bidder or it could be by granting safe zones in certain areas of the beta islands. No matter the implementation of this mechanic, I think it would help to sustain the balance of power between industrialists and combatants and thereby create more growth for the whole community.
