Last Ship Standing Improvement Ideas

    LSS is pretty fun, but I have a few ideas on what could make it more appealing.

    *limited time event needs better boosts to rep/level. I feel like the amount of xp/rep whatever is really low for anything that isn't first place. Maybe double all rep for each place.

    *Doubloon rewards: Every match 5th place would receive 5 doubloons, 4th would get 8, 3rd 10, 2nd 13, 1st 15.

    *wild idea, but at the start of the match, 3 skeleton galleons should appear in the out of bounds zone and circle around shooting at players trying to hide on the edges. They can't come into the play zone, but they can push players towards the center early on. When the first circle shrinks, they dive away.

    *able to sell flags during a match to one of the two turn in spots.

    *ability to spectate the remainder of the match from up top on the lighthouse if we choose. Would be fun to hang with other sunk crews and watch the match play out while talking about the match's crazy moments.. Rare always says they love story telling and community moments.. Add a hot tub to the lighthouse and we're in business.

    Any other ideas are appreciated.

    loss farmers will love this trick :|

    Flag and spectator idea sound reasonable, like it.

    Nope.

    It strictly players only.

    and deal with the toxic losers? No.

    @mrpalmerdixon I thought it was 6 ships in total? 6th place doesn't get any doubloons.. so loss farmers can get last place all they want, If only 5 ships join the match, then last place still gets no doubloons.

    Thanks for the correcting.

    I still firmly believe if places under Top3 were getting doubloons, they'd still loss farm. It would incentivize the sailing at the border strategy even more than now.

    @mrpalmerdixon That's fair. I think you'll never beat loss farming and scummy strats though no matter what they do. It's the sad truth. Still, LSS is a lot of fun so far. I just feel like the levels are really slow. We won two games so far and still barely made any rep in comparison to a normal game of HG.
