When you vote on fighting a bigger ship when you become champion, you should get more gold or more reputation in that company. It feels less rewarding to fight someone bigger and get the same reputation.
Champion Hourglass Bigger ship extra rewards
+1. There should be some reason to entice player(s) to vote on a bigger ship. I've asked several people "why not try bigger ship" and the answer is usually "because there is no point"
While I find the point to be the glory of the win, it's not worth risking the loss in gold/rep and the streak for most, as there is nothing extra to be gained by taking on the challenge.
Why not have a title associated or commendation to add onto a boost in reward. Defeat 5 larger ships as champion to unlock the title.
The risk/reward here is just not worth the hassle for most without a change.
@astralenigma this is a misnomer, it mentions champions but actually other faction is all that is needed. There's one for defeating one champion if I recall.
*edit might be one needing 5 total but the one that needs 100 definitely doesn't need actual champions
