I would like to suggest the addition of the OPTION to sell ships for Turns OR Gold Coins.

Currently when you sell ships to the shipwright you can get back 70% of the Gold Coin value of the ship. I would like to suggest the seller have the option to sell ships for 70% of the cost of turns to build the ship as well (rounded)

Howker - 8 Turns to Build. 8 x 70% = 5.6. 6 turns returned.
Merchantmen - 22 Turns to Build. 22 x 70% = 15.4 15 turns returned
Frigate - 80 Turns to Build. 80 x 70% = 56. 56 turns returned

Turns cap of 600 still applies. If seller attempts to sell above 600, standard full of turns message would appear.

As long as the auction times remains the same to prevent stacking in attacks.

No auction times... Selling ships is Instant to the shipwright.

wouldn't that allow a player to keep stacking turns only restriction is ship count then.....turns is the one restriction that limits endless attacks.

Interesting idea. My only concern would be players would just build up a few cheap ships over time and not put them in fleets, and then when they need turns they just sell the ships as needed. Players could literally just create near limitless turns when they need them, there would have to be some restriction other than a cap.

Basically.

Yes, one could save up ships he has built, bought or plundered and use them for turns...

Maybe a reduction in percentage of turns back.. 50%?

Maybe just a limit on the amount of turns you can get back in a day.

-1. While it would be nice to have, turns are essentially the one resource that limits players,. There are already several ways to increase turns, buy some with credits, or pay someone for self sacrifices, or gamble with death poker.

though perhaps if we add a limit like bmw suggested that might work.
Take someone like CDV, with all the ships he has he could probably get enough turns in one day to light up every player in avomora

Ok.

Player is able to sell ships for 70% of Gold Value or 70% of turn value. Maxed turns back in 24 hours is 600.
