Imagine this: A world event that expands on hourglass PvP and appears in the sky for the server. Once a ship hits champion status, they have the option to take over a sea fort, turn it into a world event and vote for invasion availability. Voting for this will not only spawn a special cloud to tell the server, but it also opens up invasion by multiple crews with non stop invasions (as long as the server isn’t full) every 12 or 24 minutes (in game day) the champion ship holds the sea fort, they get a level and extra gold in their hourglass. Once the champion ship sinks (and let’s say multiple ships invaded and are now fighting for fort control) the one that comes out of top can claim the fort for 5-10 allegiance levels, a decent amount of gold in hourglass, and claim a special sea fort flag that can be sold for 20k with the opposing faction.
Hourglass Expansion
@talkinggorillas That sound interesting. Where do you find such fort or ye talking about Spanish Forts?

Once a ship hits champion status
How often does this happen
Won't ever happen to me, my win loss is such that I sell my hourglass value before I lose it. I think many players do the same.
@foambreaker most of the time I drop at 2, if I get to 4, then I drop after and start again, not worth losing the coin over.
@selgewick Im referring to the Spanish sea forts. So imagine the system working similarly to the Flameheart VS Pendragon adventure.
Servers are hard capped at 6 ships currectly, and you cant control how many are on your server, but I do lile the idea of Champion ships unlocking the ability to do additional things.
I feel like the champion option on the sea map was a missed opportunity as well, there already is a second option once you hit 4 streak, but it doesnt award/reward players enough to be worth doing.
Unlocking a new game mode, or even making new ghost/skeleton cosmetics, tied to winning in champion mode would spark some amazing new interest.
Imagine having to win 4 fights, then dive as a sloop/brig and win againt larger ships to get that new cosmetic? Massive flex (though knowing Rare they would make you do this 50 times to get anything)
