So we all know how Golden Sands has been rebuilt after its destruction. Its got canons now and really has the vibe of an actual defensive strucutre. In the meantime, Reaper's Hideout is kind of behind in that sense. It got canons and some walls, sure, but it would make sense that Reapers would want to update their defenses.
One of the options would be rebuilding the whole strcuture from scratch, with only stone circle remaining intact. Walls could be turned to stone, with more banners and canons, and maybe some reapers at watchtowers (purely cosmetic). The selling spot could be updated and the area behind the hideout could be used as a garrison. New vendors could be added there, offering unique cosmetics, as well as a new NPC handing out a new voyage for the Reaper Faction. It would involve sinking and NPC ship that follows a certain path, and bringing a certain item back to the Reapers. In addition to that a CQC combat arena could be added there, where players could fight their own teammates for fun. Smth like that would both give a reason to visit AND have a lore explanation of Reapers training their new members.
The second option would be keeping the main structure unchanged, but adding smth to the adjacent isle. Its currently empty, and adding some sort of gate for the harbour would be cool. It could also have canons and have the skeleton bastion style, but with more sophisticated defenses.
Or jus give the the Sea Dog tavern
