shipyard doors
 

Why don't we have the shipyard doors close after 5 minutes from being opened. This would solve the problem of our members forgetting to close the door.

Yea, I remember when I was a member of Zormite we had that problem a lot.

I sort of think it's nice to make your people close it though, gives the game a sense of realism (if you forget to close your door, there's a chance people will come in and ROB all of your stuff).

Perhaps a shipyard gate right should be added, so the leader can decide whether all his members can open it or only a select few.

Personally, I think the range from which you can close the gate should be increased.
Unless you're right next to the gate, you can't open or close it. This makes sense, but its a pain to do it, since you have to do it within less than two-three seconds of leaving the gate or you're out of range.

How about just an automated timer to close the gate and a right to it, this would make kingdoms have more purpose to their ranks as well.

How about leave it the way it is and don't recruit idiots?

I think Calani's idea is best. Then we still have the realism of the "unlocked door" scenario, and if such a scenario happens you can hold the person responsible :)

Could there be a log for the gate that told the last people that opened or closed the door?

Good idea i have my boat stolen out of our Harbor about 5 times a week.

I like this idea!

I think logs ar ebest,

So you can find out which ***** has been repeatedly leaving it open......

It would also be nice to have a status message show up as to whether or not the gate is open or not.

Eh.

That would be as annoying as /ksay.

Though I am pissed at the people who abused it, because now we have no way to tell people things in an emergency...

This is the best idea. Don't put some auto-close on it, because the realism will be gone. Logs might be nice, I suppose. But I think a gate right would be the best bet.

That and what Damix said. Stop recruiting idiots who leave it open all the time.

Zel,

It's Graal....

There's not much else to recruit :P

Yes I like this idea. It will also give the existence of Harbour masters a sense.

You caught me there. Hahaha. ;)

i vote logs
 

((Perhaps a shipyard gate right should be added, so the leader can decide whether all his members can open it or only a select few.))

if nobody is online who can open the gate,
and your getting invaded, no ship battles for you!
also, if someone stores their ship inside, the person with rights would be annoyed going to harbour again and again and again, good idea though,

i vote logs!
