2 ideas for Port Merrick

    Ok, so as we all know, Port Merrick is Beautiful. But after all the work the devs have put into it, there is no reason to go there! (except for a screenshot maybe)

    so here are 2 suggestions for how Port merrick could become a high activity area!

    A small multiplier
    I propose a very, very small multiplier, like a 0.25% multiplier (half of the gold rush multiplier)
    For everything! This will encourage selling, stealing, and forming and betraying alliances at Port Merrick! I think this multiplier is just big enough, but what do you think?

    The ability to change ship types

    Imagine this scenario: you are playing duo sloop when a friend gets online! You sail to Port Merrick, sell your loot, and use a new option at the shipwright: “change ship” then you choose a ship from your guild. your current ship will be scuttled, then you are black screened, and teleported to your newly spawned in ship!

    We’re not supposed to all congregate around one turn in spot. If we’re given a bonus for turn in, we’d all just want to turn in there, causing the outposts to be empty. Downvote on this one.

    The issue with that logic is that most “Good” players already sell at one high activity area: Reapers Hideout, which coincidentally gives you bonuses for certain items.

    @craftergames706 the only bonus the hideout gives is if you’re running an emissary.
    The outposts and Port Merrick are actually the most convenient turn in spots now because of the Sovereigns harpoons. The “good” players don’t just only turn in at Reapers, they do it if they’re representing the faction.
