SO GUESS WHAT I WAS THINKING OF AN IDEA FOR CAPTAIN RANK!!! You know how the aether is building, and building only? well.... why not make it cheaper for Captains to build? SUGGESTION: Create a server-shop accessible ONLY by captains(+) that sells items for half the price of the items in the normal spawn store! this will mean they are still buying above server-sale price, but get a large discount on building materials. now, I would not have this shop be as extensive as the spawn shop, but still have most materials used in buildings available to them for a much cheaper price. HALF IS NOT A REQUIREMENT OF THIS SUGGESTION. it is just a suggestion. 40% discount, or even 20% discount, would still be an awesome thing to have for Captains imo. EDIT: Just thought of something else as well. maybe there are multiple floors to this new shop? Pilots get access to ultrabasic items (normal wood, cobble and smooth stone) Captains get access to more items (all wood, cobble/smooth/brick stone, ice/water, glass, all slabs, etc.) and a new rank like [Soarer] or something idk what to call it lol gets access to the specialty items like creeper sandstone and special stone types and all that stuff. They would all, of course, have access to these items in the normal shop, but the ranks give you better and better discounts on more and more items Thoughts?
Highest rank for aether access currently. it also has no perks currently accept for have the [captain] rank
I disagree. Then eventually, you could make soooo much money back, as they could resell them to others.
Argument against this: CHEAP ITEMS: With cheap items, although you might be able to sell more of them to users as it has a higher demand, your net profit is going to be VERY small. additionally, people already sell these items MUCH cheaper than the servers options, very near the option to sell to the server in fact. it would be very difficult to make money off of these items MEDIUM-PRICED ITEMS: these are the items most likely to be exploited, but the market isn't going to be as big for them. where are o\you going to find someone who wants enough of these items to actually make more money than farming or something else? EXPENSIVE ITEMS: Doesn't really exist. items in the shop won't be expensive items, as the only items in the shop will be building materials POSSIBLE PROBLEM: The only way I think someone could actually, legitimately make money off of this is with BOTH the rank required AND a top-floor spawn shop. You could, int his situation, set up a secondary store that sells everything the spawn shop does but at 75% price, with unlimited stock you can repurchase from the shop. But honestly, even if you set up something like this, I doubt very many people would use it. sure, you could get some fairly steady traffic, if and only if you were a top floor shop. and top floor shops are, well, expensive, so in my opinion the only real way to exploit it so expensive that it covers its own problems.
