Are there plans to bring the mechanic of Leases back?
Remember in Gal Civ 2 when you buy a ship or buiding you got the following options:
Pay 832 bc
Pay 421 + 20 bc for 30 weeks
Pay 201 + 15 bc for 55 weeks
I personally loved this because you could have built an emergency fleet quite fast.
Technically, that system isn't a lease, it's a system which allows you to buy on credit. You're essentially taking out a loan to purchase the ship and then paying it off. If it were a lease, you'd be paying the fee for as long as you had the ship, and you might have a 'security deposit' to pay at the start and a penalty to pay if you lose the ship - after all, if it's a ship that you're leasing, it's not actually your ship.
That being said, I'd be in favor of bringing back the buy-on-credit system.
Pretty sure it will Paul Boyer comments on the Friday Dev stream all the time that he likes that mechanic.
