IDEA - Recruitment Day

Have 1 day scheduled and announced when anyone can change companies without a loss of honor.

Clans and companies will be able to recruit or swap companies in mass without anyone losing honor from their ship. Rank of course would be determined by normal means when the dust settles.

 

I like this +1 from me

 

Good one.

 

On the fence about this one.
But I do think player should be able to switch once for free before level 10 to make them selves more at home with a company that suits their playing style.

 

this is a great idea sir

 

hmm dont really like the idea as it would allow new people to come and go from companies, it would also allow certain changes that could hurt a company

 

I like the idea. I've kind of wanted to change now and then for fun, but the penalty seemed a bit steep.

I do think if the free day happened too often it would lead to abuse/instability. Maybe every three months? There'd need to be some way to keep balance...if all the rats run to one side of the ship, it'll tip over and sink. There's the possibility of severely depopulating one or two companies if people use the opportunity to run to the leading company. Something would have to be in place to prevent that, I'd think...in that sense, the current penalty is effective... Still, it'd be nice.

 

the penality is way to steep I agree with u there lol

 

Even if it were just once a year. Say on the 1st of June. People would have time to plan things out, plans within plans, plots within plots. Oh, the joy! Oh, the misery!

Too often would lead to chaos. Once a year would make for some interesting changes.

 

Cool. I love EIC...and will always be EIC 8D

 

No, because you would unbalance companies. Switching alliances should always have a penalty.

 

Make it cost a little more then. 35,000 Uridium, maybe even 50,000 Uridium. If this were the case, though, then two options would need to be provided: One without the Honor loss for a high price, and the standard option with the Honor loss for 5,000 Uridium.

 

Hi G-R-U-M-P-Y, sorry to say although I see the good intention, I think it is a bad Idea as things like who owns the palli field or who is the best company will drive far to many to move to the same company giving the game even more imbalance.

In reality all that is needed is a first time company change to be free of any cost.

This would be a reasonable option as new players pick a company without knowing who they are joining.

Or a move to the 3rd ranked company being free, a move to the middle company the same as it is now and a move to the top company costing more.

It would I guess also need to have a limit of how many can join the most populated company.

I see where you're coming from - keeping the balance of powers within the 3 companies balanced. It's worth it to discuss all options as many have. I'm not sure if my original idea is best but we're at least talking about the issues and that's a good thing.
