So I was talking to some people in another thread and I might have a cool Idea for a social/ gambling hub.
Rare has released this concept art for a Floating tavern:
I was thinking, if they use this as a floating social hub that would be great.
You'd be able to:
Gamble
Play several games like Card games, liars dice play darts, five finger filet, drinking games etc.
There would also be a cheating mechanic where each game gives you the chanse to spice up the game by cheating or otherwise applying bonusses. Cheating is just done with a button and maybe a minigame/ slight animation making it so people have to be alert. Darts could involve a sort of drinking mechanic where the more drunk you are the worse your aim is but you'll get more points etc. Cheaters however can be caught and here comes point 2.
PVP and Safety
Now for the ships I have no solution, park at the tavern and yeah you're probably going to get your ship stolen or blown up. (just like in the real vegas)
But in the tavern everyone is PVP enabled even your own crew. There's a brawling area where you can fight without restrictions. However even though you can fight eachother anywhere doing so unprovoked will land you in a special Brig/ Cel for a few minutes where you can think about your actions. However you can be provoked and attack another player without being put in timeout for example when: someone cheats, Someone pukes in your face, someone throws a dart at you (yeah you can hit eachother with darts it will be hilarious) or performs a rude emote (new emotes?) at you.
Generally what I suggest is having a place to just interact and gather with eachother PVP is on and you can kill eachother. However the Bouncers will notice and it does have a consequence (unless they are just asking for it)
