Ship Lease

[Maximvs]

Basically, the idea comes directly from leasing autos. I was just thinking about how that might be implemented in the game.

Until rumours fly around that the EITC are taking any leased ships caught and selling them off for their own profits and the owner loses the ship - the lease market dries up as pirates pull their precious ships off the shelf... causing a downward spiral of noob pirates buying light sloops because they had no "real gold" saved from just spending it on useless clothing and not saving for their own big ship - everywhere as the caribbean fills up with mass light sloops the servers crash...
