' Wrote:@rwx - idea is very good, but how would you limit the ships themselves? Since I cannot just outta nowhere build lets say Marduk, can I?
Of course you can't. Sell/construction places are the same like now (shipyards).
It wouldn't really limit the cap spam, but retard it. Because you've to do more than get the the cash. Let's take a look at the Westfalen event - in the end it was limited to 7 days and was done in one (?!). That's was because all people focused on the deliver.
If you now have to bring the same amount alone, it takes more days (or weeks).
Limit 1: Deliver the needed cargo.
Now you can expand it. A construction can take time. 2-5 days for a battleship for example (ok, not really realism, but people shouldn't wait months/years for it)
Limit 2: construction time
Then you've to purchase it.
Limit 3: Cash.
And get permission.
Limit 4: Guard ID.
Well, it's the first concept. Of course there are some problems with it.
