Ship Lease

[Will]

Hmmm. I woudn't say it is a lease, I would say it's lending your ship. Perhaps you could put your ship on the letting market XD and the Low player pays a certain amount of gold and then goes sailing with it for that amount of time. The amount of plunder you recieve the Pirate leasing the ship gets 5% of the loot and if there is repairs that need to be made, that can be taken out of the cargo not of the owners pocket. And if the ship sinks, well the owner and the pirate it was leased to pay half and half.

I think this this sounds like a cool idea.. especially if they raise the gold cap ... There are a lot of updates coming this year which will hopefully include new merchandise, in which case we will need more gold.. Who knows.. if Ships customization comes out then we will constantly be needing money,. What better way to get gold on a regular basis without actually having to go out and get it? It would sort of become a business type of thing. But I think if you want to lease a ship you should have to pay an initial fee to the person leasing it to you ontop of the % of cargo shared. This way the person leasing gets even more money and it also makes it less appealing to lower levels. Meaning they will probably do it a few times to get a head start on cash and realize in the long run it is cheaper and more profitable to just buy their own ship. I do see however the concern that too many people might lease there ship to the point of it being ridiculous.. how do you choose which ship you want to lease when there are 20 war galleons and 30 war frigates available? For this I cannot think of a solution, but I'm sure with a little thinking we can come up with something.. Overall though i think this idea has a lot potential
